To Tell The Truth

li·ar

noun \ˈlī(-ə)r\

: a person who tells lies

I am amazed how much people can lie or tell lies.  Webster's dictionary defines a person who tells lies as a liar.  Strong word especially for those who tell little "white lies".  You know the lies that are so small that one think they should be overlooked....... Did you arrive to work on time?  How many coffee breaks do you take a day?  Do you pay your bills on time?  Do you forgive people easily?  Do you like people of other ethic backgrounds?  Lies, lies, lies...who cares?  Just because you tell half of the truth doesn't make you a whole liar, right?  The definition of the word, did not go into a long, drawn out definition...a liar is a person who tells lies.  That's the truth, the whole truth.  I'm scared of people who can tell a straight lie, with a straight face as if its the straight truth.  I believe people who lie has integrity issues.  If you are able to witness the lack there of from a person who lies openly. one can only image what the lack of integrity is producing in other areas of their life that we are not able to see.  If your inner circle contains people who "lie at the drop of a hat", perhaps you need to do a self examination.  Does the old saying "birds of a feather......" mean that you are who your friends are?

Something to think about!

No More Excuses!

What's keeping you from doing what you really want to do?  What are you thinking to and saying to yourself that keeps you from moving closer to what you want to do instead of moving further from it?  What excuses are  you convincing yourself are good enough to hinder you dead in your tracks? What conversation are you having with yourself?  What are the reasons you keep offering to yourself?  Here's the deal:  They are all just more EXCUSES!  Let's just face it.....the reason  you haven't belongs to the person in the mirror.  No one has handcuffs on you but YOU!  The more we realize that we can be great, or better, why do we offer an additional option as if you need to bargain with yourself on the possibilities that it won't work?  Why must that possibility exist in any opportunity that's presented for your betterment?  I know people who can really sing, but are so afraid to try out for American Idol for the fear of being rejected.  Do you see the end of a possible positive situation before it happens and write your own ending by adding unnecessary excuses of failure that hasn't happened.  Why do we sabotage our success before we obtain it? Let's make some decisions that we can offer as options to the self-sabotage responses that may normally follow the beginning of any success.  Here are eight things that need to realized to keep me from going to another level in my life and experiencing the good that my life should have!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

1.  I am worth to experience this good in my life!
2.  I've put in the work to be here right now!
3.  I deserve to be here!
4.  Good things should happen to me!
5.  This is a good place to be in!
6.  God is smiling on me and this is good!
7.  Why not me?
8.  No more excuses

Motivation to Keep It Moving!

Sometimes, You Just Outgrow People!

Sometimes, the hardest thing about moving on is letting go.  It might seem as if what you have with you, should be able to move on with you.  Unfortunately, that's not always the case.  Somethings what we have won't fit into the new place where we are going and we have to get rid of them.  Unfortunately, this happens with people also.  "Get rid of people?" it seems so harsh; not entirely.  It doesn't mean you're better than those people, not even that you don't love or care for them any more, the truth of the matter is they are not going where you are going.  You n longer have capacity of the things or some of the people.  I am still acquainted with some of my friends from grade school.  However, when it was time for us to go from grade school to high school, we basically went separate ways, not forgetting those friends, we just made new friends.  All our desires and dreams began to expand, we outgrew the grade school desires and outgrew those friends or that level of friendship.  Change is a big part of growth; it's necessary. I believe voids are needful events, voids helps us to examine the empty spaces and what was occupying the space. Voids are needful; because it causes us to re-evaluate.  If no voids ever take place, we would stay at status quo. It's necessary for us to grow, grow out, grow beyond; expand.  Everything and everybody should be assigned to a meaningful use/purpose in our lives. I think while we grow, we should learn from the experience.  Eventually, my grade school friends and I reconnected. We are all now more mature, experienced and wiser. We laugh about the people we were back then. There was so much expansion in each of us. I think it helps us in a way to monitor our own growth. Change is good and it's necessary.   Eventually, there's always a lesson to be learned.  Just remember, in order to grow, we have to let go!  It is necessary. 
Keep growing!!

It's A New Day 4 U

At what point are you to live forward? Forward living? What is forward living?  If your present is so filled with visions and thoughts of what happened yesterday, how can you possibly live forward?  To live in the present is to be present in today.  Being present, being aware of everything that is happening now and examining what decisions, adjustments, solutions need to be made to be better prepared for tomorrow.  Living forward might mean we take a leap forward in tomorrow for a preview and set in motion your coming attraction!  How about taking what happened in the past and take the life lesson and keep it moving.  Think about this: you can not pay for yesterday's mistakes with tomorrow's rewards. The past is the past...learn from it and take the lesson in your future and be better for it. It's time to create your new day!  It's time for your new day!
