LIFE'S NOT A ONE WAY STREET....

When living life, it can get so engrossing,  you may forget  it is not a one way street.  There are other people around you. They may behind , in front ,trying to pass by you, or coming from the opposite direction. 

 So what do you do? BE AWARE. Stay focused on your driving. Don't get intimidated by honking horns. Don't intimidate others with your horn either. It's OK to let other's overtake you. You can do the same,without endangering yourself.Some of these people you will see, everyday, some for a certain period, others never again. So do be courteous.

 Bear in mind though, only ignorant people act like they own the road. The road belongs to no one.

BURNING BRIDGES.........


Bridges are very significant, particularly the ones in our lives. Why? because they connect us to other people.  During the course of life, many relationships are forged. It takes commitment, to keep these relationships alive. In other wards, maintenance of the these "bridges" are vital.


You may not use a bridge frequently, that notwithstanding it is important,  to keep it operational. If at anytime, you decide to  destroy a certain bridge, for example by burning it. Pause, and give it some thought.Because, it  does take significant effort to build a bridge. Do you really think destruction is the answer? If yes, by all means go ahead.

If you want to,you can rebuild a bridge. It may take more effort, but ,who knows it may be well worth it. It can give rise to a new bridge that is not only stronger, but will be frequently used. GOOD LUCK!

TAKE A CHANCE.......

Do you agree  there is a  certain sense of  comfort/security that accompanies familiarity? Maybe, it is all about perception? Man, has been described as a  creature of habit. So, in other wards,  it is understandable when change causes anxiety for some. Others on the other hand handle it well.

What does it mean to take a chance? Simple, realizing that change is indeed inevitable. When you come to this realization, hopefully,you will find it easier to make the necessary adjustments, when life changes occur.

By all means   BE AWARE of your comfort zone. But, do not be afraid to reach beyond it.  Challenge yourself. What is the worst that could happen?

WHO AM I?

Do you really think there's a straight forward answer to this question? Or maybe, it is a question that takes a lifetime to answer? Either way,  you must attempt to answer if, you want to LIVE and not just EXIST.You do know there's a difference?

When you make the decision to live life, you become aware of yourself. Your needs, wants, expectations, fears, aspirations, desires etc. When you exist, you go through life as a routine.You live everyday the same way.

It is indeed an established fact,  there are 24 hours in a day.  But, when you live, you realize this is more than enough time. On the other hand, when you exist, it doesn't ever seem enough.Why? Because, you always have something to do. You've apportioned " a task" to all the time available to you. Do not mistake falling into a set routine, for being organized. A schedule is meant to eliminate, indecision and hurry, not define your day.

If you really want to know, who are you? Look in the mirror, and ask the one person who can give you the answer; YOU.
