~Facts of Life~


Germany, Baden Wuerttemberg, View of autumn forest


Now that my daily routine has changed, it appears that I have more time to sit, think and reflect! That being said, I believe that one of the greatest gifts given to us by God other than Jesus, is life. Another great gift given to us is the ability to learn.

As long as we live, we will be forever learning. Learning is a process by which grow. However in learning we are presented with the good and bad. Sometimes I wonder why is it that bad habits stick to us faster than good habits, but it does.

The simple true fact of life is that we become like those with whom we closely associate with ... be it bad or good. This also includes family. Remember, they may be family members, but family members may be associating with people whose life-style maybe in question and they can take on ways that are good and bad too. So, be careful of the persons you associate with, including family.

Moving forward, the first things we learn are the hardest to forget. Traditions pass from one generation to the next. If these traditions are good, then we want to maintain them; if they are bad, then we need to change them. I believe that each of us are equip to do great things in our lives. No matter what state you're in.

Fact of the matter is, know your strengths because sometimes people think that they know you. But in fact they may know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And, if you don't know yourself very well, you might even believe they are right. But, the truth is that's not you. Not you at all. Everyone don't have the right to speak into your life, so don't let them.

Remember this, when you are prospering your friends know you, but when you fall on bad times, you will truly know your friends!

We all have moments when we surprise our own expectations; Sometimes these moments are larger than life itself. I truly believe there is something great in all of us. This is why we hit back and refuse to give up. I believe each of us in our own way are heroes. But some of us can't see the forest for the trees.
