The lessons never cease....

Although I have lived for 33 years and picked up many tools to help me in being a better man, father, and friend I know that I am still learning lessons. Everything does happen for a reason but that reason isn't always a good reason. The key is turning that bad happening into a good happening. Not looking at the glass as 1/2 full or empty but being thankful that God has given you a glass to partake of. There are so many twists and turns that hindsight has allowed me to see my mistakes that I have made. Unfortunately there are many more turns left on my road that will leave many more mistakes. With all that said I am learning to slow down and see situations, people, and opportunities for what they really are. Not everyone that enters your life's stage is meant to help you. Some characters or opportunities are meant to kill you. Not in the literal sense (hope not) but in a spiritual sense.
So how do you armor yourself to disallow a situation or person from killing your spirit? Well when you discover the fail safe method you let me know. I once read that forgiving another person is the greatest gift that you could give yourself. Mistakes will be made. Blessings will come. The question is where will you be in life when you are making that mistake or when you're receiving that blessing?
Preparation is the best way to brace for options. Our lives will never go as planned but they will go somewhere.
Just a few thoughts that have been running around my mind itching to get out..... Love

If?

If I threw in the towel would it make a sound?

A new year (from your service provider)....

As 2010 comes to a close i am reminded at how blessed I am to be here. There are many loved ones that werent privileged to spend this entire year with us. For that I thank God for more borrowed time in his grace. A new year brings new: opportunities, challenges, setbacks, journies, and blessings. My advice to you is to be realistic. Dont make a resolution that has no solution. We are our worst critic so rather you divulge your skeletons on a mountain or in meditation behind closed doors; do it.
Be good to someone. Put a smile on someone's face. Love someone! Take the time to get on your knees and humble yourself to something greater than you. If you have a beef with someone squash it. Time waits for no man or woman. Maximize your time.
The word for 2011 is LOVE. Not that prideful or boastful kind. That old school juke joint look into my eyes and see everything that you wish for love. Love your kids for who they are. Bask at their accomplishments. Guide them through life's challenges. Put your arms around them and kiss them.
Im not going to end this with some ryhme with 2011. I will end with this. Its a new year be happy you get to see it!
