Thank you so much for returning to my blog! If you have not already had a chance you can access my FREE social media training on the side... Thanks again:)

I have had the luxury of having the opportunity to see and meet some extremely diversified people, I sometimes have to shake my head in frustration for some of them. Not that its healthy to pity anyone, but rather learn from their mistakes and shortcomings.

Just yesterday I was helping a friend out with some home improvement, he was going on and on about his health issues at the ripe young age of 30! I will briefly explain just how ridiculous this conversation was. My friend says I have a tooth ache and on top of it like ten teeth I need to have removed!

You could not tell from outward appearance but he persisted to open his mouth and show me his rotted teeth, what I saw really made me think…why would you let yourself go? So I asked him why don’t you get those fixed? His reply was its too expensive!!! Then he told me he was thinking of switching from smoking to chewing because his teeth are already F**KED!

So I again asked him why? Why would you do this to yourself and why don’t you go get it fixed? No matter what it costs$$$$

I could not get myself to post any pics of bad rotted teeth so here you go

The ironic thing about this is his level of education and awareness, with having full knowledge of the consequences he continues to live a cycle of self destruction only a slave to his inability to manifest the life he wants. Predispositioned maybe???

Do not short come yourself. No matter where you come from or what horrible experiences life has dished you out. You have the choice to rise to the top;)

Yeah I am sure you have heard similar stories before and its actually choices that end us up where and who we are, these are the choices I believe are so profound! Not to mention its never to late to turn over a new leaf.

Like anything we only have so much allotted time, during this time we only exist in the moment. Right here right now… You are currently reading this blog post and nothing else, you will either benefit from this or simply move on.

This is where the magic occurs! If you are able to understand just how YOU are actually in control of your entire destiny through the simple choices you make each moment. Get this the FUTURE does not matter the past is over. with your thoughts in the now you are able to make an active choice for the better no matter what is going on in your life…

Remove these words from your vocabulary, should, shouldn’t, could, I can’t, and I will. These are all self defeating statements that drag you down.

My friend with the tooth problem may never understand this fully. I hope you bennefit from this TRUTH in life.

I have not posted anything in a few weeks as life seems to constantly dish out one obstacle after the next. I look at it like this the challenges we face from day to day make us who we are, each fork in the road is a time to choose to either make the decision to better your self or to take the easy way out.

generally the easy way is all to enticing, this leads to poor habits and all kinds of degenerative actions. I believe in being an effective individual and in helping others do the same.

With all this being said, after having some time to contemplate and evaluate my direction I am taking in life, it all hit me like a ton of bricks today when I was running some errands around town today! I saw this man maybe homeless I do not know for sure, but he was sitting so peacefully along side a parking lot staring at the trees across the road.

At first my reaction was to martyr him! But as i sat and waited for traffic to clear I felt as though his facial expressions read like a book to me. by appearance he looked dirty and lazy, but who am i to say. I looked deeper into the weathered man and thought to myself what is really important in life?

I have put some thought into this, like i have not before… but something hit me and it is this, happiness does not have a price tag! you cannot represent happiness with any material object. True happiness comes from with in and outward appearance has nothing to do with it!!!

So what does this have to do with everything? Well this is what motivated me to write about this today. When we do the thing we do it all comes from motivation and the things that motivate us. If you are doing things for the wrong reason you may never find true contentment or happiness.

For all we know that “bum” on the street just may hold the key to true happiness. Not saying to drop everything and live under the nearest bridge but what I am saying is to stop trying to be who you are not and come from a place of honesty, integrity, and TRUTH…

Check your motives from time to time as it is so easy to become sidetracked. Everyone does have a story to tell! What is yours?
