Just as easy
It is just as easy to focus your thoughts on something positive in your life as it is to focus on something negative. It is just as easy to be sincerely thankful for your blessings as it is to be bitter and angry about your problems.
Maintaining a positive outlook on life requires no more effort than it takes to go around with a negative attitude. And that positive approach will bring much more value, meaning and fulfillment to your life.
Staying positively focused requires no special skills or resources or position. All it takes is a choice.
All it takes is the conscious choice to break away from the burdensome habit of negativity. It is a choice you can make right now, and in every moment that follows.
Make that choice, and your limiting fears will be overwhelmed by purposeful determination. Make that choice, and your most difficult challenges will become your greatest opportunities.
Living with a positive focus is just as easy as spending your precious time immersed in negativity. And it's a whole lot more enjoyable, too.

| Changing the past Do you ever wish that you could change the past? If you could change the past, you would be able to correct every mistake, avoid every accident, and never experience the pain of regret.
In fact, you can very easily change the past. You simply must do it before the past becomes the past.
This moment where you are right now will soon be in the past. So now is your golden opportunity to assure that it will be a past you'll be pleased to have.
With care and focus, with love, discipline and positive intention, you can do just that. You can change what will soon be the past into the best that it can be.
Imagine not having to wonder what would have happened if only you had been a little more careful, thoughtful or diligent. Imagine living your life with no regrets.
Imagine it, and know that right now is your chance to make it so. Use this moment to give yourself a past that won't need any changes at all.

| HAD TO...THOUGHT THIS WAS FUNNY....
Subject: Man of the House
The husband had just finished his book "Man of the house." He stormed into the house and walked directly up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law!" I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?
His wife replied, "The fucking funeral director."

| I just had a thought.....
This little situation has been going on for a while now and I'm actually pissed off now..because a certain someone STILL DOESN'T GET IT....
When you tell someone that it's over and to move on and to do their own thing...why do they still think...that they are still w/that person?
I have this ex boyfriend...who I let go at the beginning of the year because I just felt that he wasn't independent, wasn't going anywhere with his life, depending on me, felt like i was raising another kid, didn't seem like he was handling himself and what he needed to do in life, always wanted me to be around, I didn't feel like I had my space. I just felt really suffocated. NO JOKE! I let him go and told him maybe after I finish school..MAYBE things would be good..but they haven't been...since he keeps hounding me ...all the time..so finally....I just let him go..but he still thought that we were still good...I DON'T KNOW GET...IT...I've been nice to him and kindly let him know..you know what..I think it's best that you do your own thing...he had called my best friend, my cousins, talked to his cousins and everyone else in the damn world about us..AND I HATE THAT SHIT! Rumors and drama start that way! WELL WHATEVER NOW! IT'S BEEN LIKE THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME..where I had to say...go DO YOUR OWN THING NOW! Everyone has been telling him..but do you think he gets it? NO! So, I tried being nice and letting him down ....but....I'm not very nice now...cause obviously he don't get it! I just don't understand......what do guys or this particular guy NOT get? After experiencing all of this....I NOW KNOW..what my requirements and qualifications are ...for the next guy to come around..IF I EVER DECIDE TO BE IN ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP. I actually like being in a relationship all by myself. I don't have to answer to anyone..but myself. I like it. | | |

Action and consequence The actions you take have consequences, and some of those consequences can be painful. Yet life would be hopelessly more painful if there were no consequences.
If actions had no consequences, there would be no reliable way to achieve anything. There would be no way for you to direct or control the circumstances of your life.
As it is, you can choose the consequences you experience by choosing the actions that bring about those consequences. You are able, in large part, to avoid the consequences you don't want and to create the consequences you desire.
By taking responsibility for the consequences in your life, you gain the power to determine what those consequences will be. By accepting and embracing responsibility for the outcomes of your actions, you are able to bring about the outcomes you prefer.
In each moment, with each choice you make, consider what that choice will bring. You have the power to create your own results.
Choose your actions with care and positive intent, and you'll like the consequences they bring.
