Be careful what you ask for

There’s a saying “be careful what you ask for” that is a true statement for those who have experienced that things are not greener on the other side. We think that others have an exciting, fun and glamourous life. However, some people wish they didn’t have that at all. They long for peace, calm and normalcy.

What If…

Have you ever wanted to do things that were not part of your normal routine? You are ready to venture into something new and exciting and suddenly the voice of your inner conscious begin to speak those dreaded words “what if”. These words can go on, and on, and on. They can crush every idea and possibility of change and success. I have talked myself out of making a few decisions by thinking, what if. People have said, what if I buy the car and I lose my job.

A Thought

It seems as if the months and days are flying by, before you know it the Christmas season will be upon us. There is a saying “time waits for no one” and we can see how true that statement is.

We have family, friends, money, cars, jobs, debt, wealth, obligations, health issues, etc. that we are subservient to, mentally and physically. We become trapped within ourselves by the demands from these things. Today, is the day to “Let Go and Discover”. The demands can cause stress, depression and confusion, and the word peace sounds like a foreign word or you feel that having peace in your life is...
