Overcoming negativity

I think it's easy for people to tell you to e positive. Honestly it takes more of an investment to be positive rather than negative. I think that almost every situation can be looked at from both mindsets. Overall I would classify myself as a pretty positive person but I am definitely mindful that I could view certain situations as negative. Anger is something that I have focused on controlling when people do things that I would never do. My words of today are "stay positive". Don't pray for revenge or equality. What is happening is supposed to happen. If you feel that someone has done something wrong to you take it as a learning lesson and change something about yourself or your situation to disallow it from happening ever again. That's what I'm going to do; stay positive.

Chainging of the guards...

So i've heard this statement that people change every 10 years. Well as I approach my 34th birthday I can feel myself evolving; or needing to evolve. Sometimes I wonder if the person that I use to be is a better person than who I am today. I've always been taught to speak my feelings and make it easy for someone to read you. For a time in my life I changed that mindset and decided to be a high stakes poker face...haha. I wonder if I was a better person then? I wonder why most men arent forthcoming with the way they feel about situations? I wonder if im too forthcoming? Those are answers that I definitely dont have the answers to but am curious to find out about. I've always lived my life trying to make others around me comfortable. Or at least i'd like to think that I do. The past couple of years have been some enlightened years and they have really shown me who is willing and not willing to be here for me. I wonder if I was a millionaire would I have more people trying to comfort me in my time of need? Is it better to become a flat line of emotions or be this roller coaster ride of emotions? I think most people love to be around lively and energetic people but when that energy runs low who is really there to pick that person back up? A Gemini has been my excuse for my emotional trends. But is it something deeper? I find myself in public settings making a table full of people laugh but I wonder if I didnt open up would the table even talk? If I wanted someone else to make a joke would they? What if I wanted to be the laugher and not the joker? Would people question why i've changed? And honestly what's wrong with change? I tell you what's wrong with change....people dont like it. I think people get a feel for who your are and that becomes their comfort zone with dealing and enjoying you. If I were to change would anyone notice? Would it be a situation where everyone notices but no one says anything to me? And if I were to change would that be such a bad thing? I dont know....all I can do is put faith in God to lead me to change or stay the same. That is my decision and im sticking with it...

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
