love this thought...love this idea

disappoint someone..disappoint everyone...just dont disappoint yourself

it doesnt matter where the inspiration comes from but i just heard the quote

and i love it

i think it means be true to yourself...i think it means you cannot live for others you have to live for yourself first and foremost

i think others can eventually forgive you and you can move on but if you disappoint yourself...it may turn into a regret and while we say we can have no regrets we all hold on to something

im currently in a class..the 7 habits of highly effective people and i am learning a lot...alot of things i know and its a matter of applying them  a lot of good quotes and food for thought but the basis of this just like my thought of today is that it all lies within ME....

if i am successful it lies within me...its on me to define what determines success for me

its on me to make a blueprint and start on a path and define and redefine if necessary 

so back to my quote...disappoint others and i do not mean go out of your way to piss people off but if you spend your life people pleasing and at the end of the day you cant say you lived for you or fulfilled your dreams then its not worth it

Paying it forward

We all remember the movie PAY IT FORWARD..we all cried and maybe just maybe we pondered the idea that to rebalance or somehow just put some positive energy in the atmosphere we could do small acts of kindness...

Acts of kindness this is nothing new and in the wake of the Newton shootings i have heard many variations of people trying to perform various acts of kindness.

I would like to challenge all of you and for you to challenge your friends and their friends that for the month of February.. the shortest month of the year...each day you perform some act of kindness..

Ive already begun to think of ideas i might do...and yes sometimes its easier to let the spirit move you or the situation dictate but some you can plan...sending a card to someone sick...or i know occasionally when im home from my parents church i send a get well card to someone who is sick and shut in...i hear stories about people picking up the tab for the person behind them in the toll booths or the cleaners or at a restaurant and your act can be as big or as small as you like

But you cant tell me that when you hear about these stories these selfless moves your faith in humanity isnt restored just a bit...its so easy to tear each other down and get caught up in our day to day chaos but guess what..your worst day is better than some one's BEST day and guess what you are having a day..some didnt get that option

What if everyone started being kinder..gentler what if everyone started affecting some type of change...what if society was less critical and more understanding.... what example would we set for our kids...what world will we leave them.....

So its just an idea..just food for thought..maybe be nice to someone who no one likes...you never know their story....the person who never goes to lunch...maybe they have no money or are struggling....lets take a month to pull our heads out our butts and look around and the world and reevaluate our perspective

The Real Housewives Curse

I was perusing the newspaper headlines and it seems another couple who participated in the Real Housewives franchise is getting a divorce

What strikes me is could there really be a fatal element when you put your family and your marriage under the microscope of reality tv
What is it about these shows and the reality/not reality tv stage that is bringing marriages with 7 and 8 years behind them to a close

Now i have never been on a reality tv show...but i can more understand the high failure rate for new couples and newlyweds who choose to open their lives to public scrutiny and a birds eye view of a new couple trying to establish who they are...

If the stations were not so greedy and worried about ratings...having couples meet with a family psychologist while they participate in this would be a good idea...but i guess functional doesnt bring in ratings..

I think its a shame and when i hear about anyone who divorces its sad..but after 9 years i think wow u got past the hard part...

Marriage is not for the faint of heart on a good day....so having your fights arguments strengths and weaknesses play out on tv....smells like a recipe for disaster to me

But thats just my 2
