Flexibility

By -
Stay flexible and you will not be bent out of shape. Keep an open mind and you will move to the mood of the moment. Be adaptable and you will stretch your expectations to fit the contours of reality. Pirouette with change and you will do back bends over anxiety. You have the grace and inner poise to deal with anything.

Memories & regrets

By -
Some things are easy to erase; like words in a document, or a piece of paper that you burn. But haunting memories and lingering regrets are much more stubborn. There are things that happened in the past and no matter how hard you shake your head you can’t undo them and the memory remains. There are regrets; things you knew you could do but didn’t, and things you wish you didn’t do but did. Regret is a stubborn stain, annoying like nails on a chalkboard, infiltrating your memory like a dripping tap. I wish that no one had to live with regrets, but suspect that we ALL do to some extent. Regrets come in all shapes and sizes.  As the playwright Arthur Miller said" Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. Times of major change, health crises and near death experiences are some of the times we tend to reflect on life, realise times in the past when we were neglectful of our priorities and commit to living differently. These are the 5 most common re...

Opinions

I like to think I am a caring person. But this, this is one thing i just do not care about. You can tell me about it a million times over, and again I will look you in the eye and say, I do not care.  For some strange reason people seem to think I care what their opinion is. For some strange reason, people think their opinion about someone else is right. That they are living the right way, making the right choices and doing this living thing correctly. Wake up call- you’re probably making choices they wouldn’t make Wake up call- you don’t know jack shit about the obese man, the girl with the tattoo or the single parent. Most people are just having a go at this whole living thing. Trying stuff out, doing their best, taking a chance and seeing what works to make them feel alive. They may be happy, they may be screwing it all up big time. If their living doesn’t fit with your living, have a chat with them and hear their story. If you don’t want to, then cross the road and go on yo...

Don't Let Others Fool You

It SO goes to show that you can't trust how things appear. A man APPEARS to have it all, yet feels like he has nothing to live for. Fame, fortune, talent, opportunity, respect from seemingly everybody. And yet it meant nothing to him because of whatever was tearing him up inside. Friends and family who APPEAR to be fine, who laugh and function outwardly, may be just hanging by a thread. Because most of us are good actors, we can fool each other. We ask “are you well?”, and answer “I'm great.” But sometimes we say it even when we're not great, and we just don't know how to ask for help. It’s true for people we LIKE who appear to have it all together, but are struggling to keep going. And it’s true for people we dislike, who APPEAR arrogant or critical, but are really just sad and don’t know how to deal with it. I hope it might be to treat EVERYONE we encounter as someone in need of our love and support. No matter how they act! Anyone we meet could be hanging on by...
