When you are strange.

Why is it that when you are a little different from the majority, people consider you strange?
Why do people judge so fast without looking in the mirror?
Why do people seek individualism so badly? A chance to differentiate from the rest?

That is the question I asked myself through the years.  I never wanted to conform, yet it was almost impossible. I remember when stone washed jeans were the ultimate thing. They were orange, purple, turquiose, pink and even white. I tried so hard to be original -but I had to have the stone-washed jeans.

Today, they're back at double the price. I wouldn't even imagine wearing them now. I don't care
to conform and I don't care to what the rest of the world think. I know that as an individual and

as a non-discriminator, it's the feeling of acceptance that leads people to being strange.

Perspectives on the Individual

Confucius said, "I won't teach a man who is not anxious to learn, and will not explain to one who is not trying to make things clear to himself.  If I hold up one corner of a square and a man cannot come back to me with the other three, i won't bother to go over the point again."

Determination and motivation can form our strongest attributions, however, when an individual is ignoring his strongest will - the self can deteriorate.

Death and Living

Death isn't always bad. It gives us the chance to start new and bury what needs to be put to rest. Ending a cycle or situation is critical to the self and can open opportunities of growth. Just like a tree that dies; another grows in its place.

For every death, there's a chance of birth to a new beginning.  A new beginning stems from optimism and certainty in us.You are allowing the universe to rotate and redevelop your cycle of life and produce new challenges that allow us to mature and feel like we are a part of the earth. Without decisions and challenges we'd be empty and hollow.

A guaranteed way to grow into your beliefs is by soul searching. Soul searching is intriguing and valuable to the existence of your soul. It will give you definition and direction to where you want to go. Whether it's your career, your health, your values, your position as a parent-a sister-a brother-a soul mate or a friend.

Soul searching can take time. As long as it takes, it will steer you as to why you're on earth and what you really want to do with thy purpose. Be careful and be prepared for the truth, cause- in the end you will either learn what you never wanted to know about yourself or you will finally realize what you never expected. This is a polarized conclusion that will in turn help you grow.

So my friends, as you can see; death is merely the end; and the birth of a new and invigorating beginning.

Genuine Thoughts of Ambition

Marriage, Relationships and Kids

Divorcing couples find themselves dispaired with antagonizing, mutual dissappointment and frustrated with the thought of who is going to take who
to the cleaners.
Children are usually involved in most divorce cases.  When this happens, the
frustration grows in all directions. 
First,  kids are feeling guilty and disbelief. Children tend to blame themselves for all the problems.  They may display bad mood, no cooperation and routine
tandrums. These are signs that your kid or kids are picking up from your energy.
Psychologist did studies on the reactions on divorces and the ways to
improve the atmosphere in the home. 
According to  Joy Rice, PH.D. of Living Through Divorce; the sooner
people in divorce exibit improvement in their decision and start accepting
the divorce from a positive point of view, the sooner the kids reflect on
their attitude and self-concept. They will demonstrate signs of acceptance
and the guilt will slowly lift away.
 It is very important to understand that life isn't always perfect and relationships are definitely ever perfect.  However, your self-esteem is a strong component of your life.
If your self-esteem is crushed, so will your kids self-comprehension. 
In order to take the proper precautions on developing a better approach during
a divorce,

• Seek therapy
• Build a support system
• Demonstrate strength by allowing yourself to mourn through the change
• Find quality time for yourself
• Stay away from artificial substance that can alter your progress
• Show  your kids that you'll get through it together, do not isolate for long period of time
• Exercise
• Find something you never had time to accomplish and think of diving into it
• Be good to yourself
• Replacing your past relationship out of rebound tends to be unhealthy
• Re-evaluate your needs and wants before diving into another pool of emotions

Life is one chance and it isn't as long as we predict. Give yourself the gift of
longivity and happiness while your still around.
Peace-One Love

Gravity

Nuclear Physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Albert discovered the fundamental principal of quantum physics. 
Surprisingly, little Albert didn't show signs of speaking until the age
of 3.  His parents thought he was mentally retarded because of his lack of interest in talking and his lateness in walking.  When his sister was born he asked," where are her wheels" because he thought she was a toy.
He certainly had everyone fooled!

When he started school, he seemed very far from intellectual stardom. 
He did poorly in school and his headmasters predicted him not to amount to anything.  His world changed at age 4 and 5 when his Dad bought him a pocket compass. Whenever Albert laid down for a nap, he'd stare at his compass and was astonished.  Years later he wrote," this experience made a deep and lasting impression upon me,  Something deeply hidden had to be behind things". Our ability to think and master a thought is amazingly profound if given the chance and the right tools to do them.  It's all about feeling ready to do them when your mind and body are ready to perform such tasks.
So you see my friends, we all get discouraged when heavy weight pulls us down, we tend to judge and categorize, however a true purpose in life
can lift gravity right off! 
Be free from gravity!

This weeks expectations:

Today is Tuesday. You're probably dreading another long week.

According to Healthy Women  2009;  Thinking optimistic is

the key to modifying your behavior and dealing with life from

a completely different perspective.

For example; two people that do not know eachother receive the same bad news. One person leaves the spot thinking,

 'My goodness how will I get pass this, my life is over.' yet, the other person leaving the same place with the same news says to himself/herself;  'my goodness, I'm glad I found out now before its too late.  I better get busy doing my research and try to get pass this time so I can move on'. 

The pessimistic person will not only hinder the possibilities of turning the news around but can cause a strong physical effect on the body.

On the contrast effect, the optimistic person will find empathy with-in his/her surroundings and possibly gain a chance to turn negative energy away, so it doesn't effect his/her body, mind or soul.

The power of Optimism is very strong. We all know how hard it can be to conquer the benefits of positive thinking, however,  positive thinking is the strength of the mind. Not only is it beneficial to the mind, it will help you over-come lifes challenges.

What is Life? The time a person or thing is alive or exists.
