Let your instinct guide you

“How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown.” -Elisabeth Kubler- Ross

Los amigos Siracides 6:5-17

[6:5].Las palabras amables te harán ganar muchos amigos, un lenguaje cortés atrae respuestas benevolentes.
[6:6].Ten muchos amigos, pero para aconsejarte escoge uno entre mil.
[6:7].Si has encontrado un nuevo amigo, comienza por ponerlo a prueba, no le otorgues demasiado pronto tu confianza.
[6:8].Hay amigos que sólo lo son cuando les conviene, pero que no lo serán en las dificultades.
[6:9].Hay amigos que se transforman en enemigos y que dan a conocer a todo el mundo su desavenencia contigo para avergonzarte.
[6:10].Hay amigos que lo son para compartir tu mesa, pero que no lo serán cuando vayan mal tus negocios.
[6:11].Mientras estos marchen bien, serán como tu sombra, e incluso mandarán a la gente de tu casa.
[6:12].Pero si tienes reveses, se volverán contra ti y evitarán encontrar tu mirada.
[6:13].Mantente a distancia de tus enemigos y cuídate de tus amigos.
[6:14].Un amigo fiel es un refugio seguro; el que lo halla ha encontrado un tesoro. ¿Qué no daría uno por un amigo fiel? ¡No tiene precio!
[6:16].Un amigo fiel es como un remedio que te salva; los que temen al Señor lo hallarán.
[6:17].El que teme al Señor encontrará al amigo verdadero, pues así como es él, así será su amigo.

Psalm 23

The lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk
through the dark valley of death,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff 
protect and comfort me.
Your prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest,
anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing
love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

Amen.

The battles in life

In life, we have different battles we are faced with. We are the ones who choose to fight, flee or let be. Which battles are you involving yourselves in? Are they worth your time? Are you getting anywhere? How often do you actually win????

Diez Cosas

Diez cosas que siempre hay que recordar ... y una que jamas hay que olvidar

Tu presencia es un regalo para el mundo
Eres una persona especial y unica
Tu vida puede ser lo que tu quieres que sea
Enfrenta cada dia uno por uno
Cuenta tus bendiciones, y no tus problemas
Sabras vencer cualquier dificultad
En tu corazon encontraras tantas respuestas
Ten valentia
Ten fortaleza
Date tiempo para soñar
... y no olvides jamas ... que eres una persona muy especial

-Douglas Pagels

What does it matter?

Questions you should always ask yourselves are: Will this matter tomorrow?
Will this matter a week from now?
Will this matter a month from now?
>>>>Will this matter later?

If the answer is NO, then pay it no mind because it costs you NOTHING ... There is no reason to worry about insignificant things when life is so precious. Life is only lived once. You have one shot today to make today worthwhile. Do something significant rather than spend your time on nonsense that will not matter tomorrow. Tomorrow is not guaranteed so make TODAY a day to remember without any drama or BS.

Compose your mission statement today

In life, we all have missions we wish to complete. Once we complete a mission, there is a new one to take its place. Years ago, I took a Negotiation class during my lunch period. I was more interested in personal growth than in being involved in lunch period drama and temptation to cut classes. I had composed this Mission Statement at that time:

Mission statement:
*To succeed, to get an education.
*Take risks, break the barriers that stand in the way of getting to where you want to be.
*Be someone unique, have a profession, and to not be just another statistic.
*To give up negativity and live only for me.

What is courage?

"You must do the things you think you can't do." Eleanor Roosevelt

*Eleanor Roosevelt was the first outspoken first lady.*

"The word 'courage' is derived from the French word heart, 'couer', and etymologically it means 'the ability to stand by one's heart or to stand by one's core.' Whenever we exhibit courage, we demonstrate the healing power of paying attention to what has heart and meaning for us. Strong- heartedness is where to have courage to be all of who we are in life." -Angeles Arien

*Food for thought: With courage, we can take that extra step that makes the difference between failure and success. Do you have courage?

The purpose of this blog

I want to encourage people to be themselves. trying to please people is a very unhappy path to walk through life on. We must learn that people will never be happy, life can only be lived once, and happiness is a state of mind. The power we possess in our minds is to mold our lives into whatever shape we want is unbelievable. You will never be happy if you don't expect to be happy. Positivity is necessary, not a luxury. You cannot afford to be negative. Hope you guys enjoy reading my random thoughts.
