Success : The Final Frontier???

Each of us brings something different to the table. Some lives are meant to be enriched by loving parents, and others are meant to suffer with them. Some are born to be successful at everything they touch, others are born to be the best parent a child could ever have. We can not expect everyone to be a notable businessman. Nor can we expect that all parents can fulfill the desires of their children.

We need to be able to discern and recognize the diverse roles of the various people in our lives. They all have their place in this world and in our lives. Good people need not be wealthy people. The individual at the top of the ladder need not be the bad ones. Judging a person by their monetary success and fame is faulty. Some men are distinguished humanitarians. Others are just assholes.

It is crucial that we enlighten ourselves with these facts of life. We should not assume that a remarkable person must also be lucrative. Should we really appraise an individual according to his abundance? Or is his noble character sufficient for reckoning?

These are burdensome elements to reflect upon. We have been brought up to esteem financial achievement as the ultimate attainment. Are we willing to substitute our bed of roses with commonplace existence?

Waiting

I've been waiting
For a guy like you
To come into my life
To make things right

I've been waiting
For a guy like you
To take away all my pain
To keep me sane

I've been waiting
For a guy like you
Who knows all my trouble
I never need to babble

I've been waiting
For a guy like you
Who will cherish me
However I will be

I've been waiting.....
And I found you

Sons

Son I'm so proud of who you've become
You've made my life worth treasuring
You seek after your dreams without retrieving
You continue to grow in the right direction
In spite of the obstacles in your path
You never falter from your true self
Your moral is strong and firm

You came into this world
To take away my pain
You came into my life
To make things right
You are a gift from heaven sent

In your quiet contemplation
You gained your muse
You are such a kindred spirit

I could not have asked for a better son

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." Henry David Thoreau

Do Good

When a mean person goes out of her way to do something nice for you, is it safe to say that she has changed? Or does she have some ulterior motives?

If she’s whispering into your ears and asking your forgiveness for all the heartaches that she has caused you, can you be sure that it’s going to be permanent?

All these and other unanswered questions are lurking in my head.

Yes I reciprocated. What else could I have done? I am a gentle soul. I give ‘good’ when I get ‘good’. And yes, I give ‘good’ even when I don’t get ‘good’. It’s just the way I am. I have good and loving parents. They taught me the ways of the world. They taught me compassion. They taught me forgiveness. They taught me that people are fallible regardless of who they are. Most important of all I was taught that everyone has goodness in them.

To sum it all up…..Do Good All The Time.

If

If I tell you to love me
Will you do so without asking
If I tell you to kiss me
Will you do so without flinching
If I tell you to hug me
Will you do so without stiffening
If I tell you to smile at me
Will you do so without smirking
If I tell you to look at me
Will you do so without gawking
If I 'had' to tell you to do those things to me.....
What does it say about our relationship?!?!?

Feelings

Nothing can be compared to the 'highs' you get from aerobics exercise. This endorphine thing is like a drug. You get so addicted. The craving is so compelling.

On the days that you can't fit exercise into your hectic schedule, you feel so empty. You try to squeeze it in, somehow, with the little time that you have. And when it doesn't work your way, you make a pact to double your routine for the next day.

Blame

Blaming others for the bad situations in your life will not resort to anything. Instead, humbly accept the circumstances and move on, or, do something to improve them. You always have a choice. Circumstances can change. Nothing is ever permanent, be it happiness or unhappiness.

Stand up and take charge of your life. No one can make you do anything without your consent. You can either choose to sit still or to rise above it all. Exert your rights.

Nothing good ever comes of blaming others for the events in your life. Change it. If you can't then change the way you perceive it. When you place blame on someone, it enslaves you. This feeling puts you in bondage forever. Only when you accept will you be free. Forgiveness and acceptance heal.

Positive outlook is everything. No matter how bad the situations, it will change.
