Everything Changes

It's so difficult to understand the depth of change. Everything in life changes. We as people naturally change, it's just part of life. The world changes by the second. Nothing will EVER stay exactly the same. Things just change. The years go by and we grow stronger & wiser. We learn more of who we are & who we want to be. We learn how to fine tune & realize our true goals. We learn and grow into the people we are mean to be and in doing so we more often than not without conscious knowledge change. It's hard when you love someone to convey that you've changed. That your wants & even possibly needs have changed. It's not that you've "grow apart" or stopped loving as the cliche often goes it's simply that you've changed. As time goes by  those "changes" become more and more apparent. Maybe at one time you thought life was perfect & then you learned what living truly was.  It's not that you don't love but you now know what it is to be in love. It's not that anyone has done anything wrong its just longing for something to be done perfectly right. There is a difference in being contently happy & in being intoxicatedly captivated by love.

You can't control the universe but you can control your Uni~verse.

Focus on the blessings in life! Learn to appreciate each day as it comes. Every breath you take is a gift. As long as you are breathing you have the ability to affect change & create the world you desire to live in. You may not be where you want to be now but you are here purposefully. Every step you take in life helps mold you into the person you are meant to become. Every victory and even more so every defeat. Victory is so wonderful. Everyone's cheering you own & your on top of the world. It easy to stand tall & hold your head high when you are winning. But when trials & tests come, when you stumble & fall, when you are at your weakest, who are you at that moment? It is that very moment that helps define you. Not the fall but the rise from the fall! Will YOU Rise?!? Will you pick yourself up & continue to fight? Will you continue to give life your all even when life seems to be saying your "ALL" is not enough? Determination, perseverance & faith will carry you to the dreams manifesting inside of you. You will face hardship & you will encounter defeat but life isn't about the cards you are dealt. It's what you do with those cards that mater. Things that happen in your life are simply things that happen to you. They are not who you are! They are only part of your journey.  You alone control your success in life. We are all given the exact same 24 hours in our day. What will you do with yours? You can't control the universe but you can control your Uni~verse.

What choices are you making?

I prayed for a good day & had a great day! A million things can go wrong daily 
but did one truly meaningful 
thing go right??? 
Everything in life is about 

perception & perspective. 

You choose your days! 

You choose to take the good 

or hold on to the bad. 

The choice is yours & yours alone!

So Much Happiness - Naomi Shihab Nye

It is difficult to know what to do with so much happiness.
With sadness there is something to rub against,
a wound to tend with lotion and cloth.
When the world falls in around you, you have pieces to pick up,
something to hold in your hands, like ticket stubs or change.

But happiness floats.
It doesn’t need you to hold it down.
It doesn’t need anything.
Happiness lands on the roof of the next house, singing,
and disappears when it wants to.
You are happy either way.
Even the fact that you once lived in a peaceful tree house
and now live over a quarry of noise and dust
cannot make you unhappy.
Everything has a life of its own,
it too could wake up filled with possibilities
of coffee cake and ripe peaches,
and love even the floor which needs to be swept,
the soiled linens and scratched records . . .

Since there is no place large enough
to contain so much happiness,
you shrug, you raise your hands, and it flows out of you
into everything you touch. You are not responsible.
You take no credit, as the night sky takes no credit
for the moon, but continues to hold it, and share it,
and in that way, be known.

Keepin On Keepin On

Somehow today my work took me to a very sensitive place of my life. Not intentionally but I suppose purposefully.  It has me very much deep in thought. Compounded by the natural curiosities & worries of life today was at its best a day I learned patience, how to smile & just keep going no mater what.
