Food For Thought

Hey crazy cats,

The weekend id finally here and it's time to unwind. This has been one crazy week for me. Work was work,as always. One thing I try to do know is I try to learn a new lesson. This week's lesson was kind of rough. I had to learn when to let things go and let time takes its course. This, by far, is a tough lesson. We, as humans, tend to want to hold onto things that are familiar and dear to us. We try to resist change as much as we can. At times , we accept the change with arms wide open. Other times, we tend to run from it like running away from an ugly, drunk fat chick. Another lesson that I learned is that no matter how hard you try, there are times when you cannot outrun what is meant to be. No matter how hard you try, there are things in life that you must confront and accept.

I want to pose a question. Before you answer, think about it and really give it some thought. How far would you go to save what you most love ( be it your child, wife, husband, sister, etc...) In the Bible, it says something about laying down your life for your fellow man. In the Armed Forces, they teach you to lay down your life for your country. In marriage, you make a promise for richer or for poor, in sickness or in health, till death do you part. But, is this true? Do we really believe in all those words? We tend to look for exceptions to the rules before we even apply them to our everyday lives. We're constantly looking for excuses. Granted, there are situations where we must weigh all the resources at hand. Besides those situations, we would rather give up easily and look for something else rather than fight for what we believe in.

I ask all of those who right this entry not to settled for the norm. Let's challenge ourselves to break the status quo and fight for what we believe in. We only have one life. Why must we conform ourselves to live a life where when something goes wrong we back away from it or say that;s life it was meant to be. We are all better than that. We can be leaders in a new way of thinking. We should never accept defeat. We must learn from our defeat and challenge it once more. As long as the sun rises in the morning, failure is never permanent. To err is human, forgiveness is divine, and to triumph in the face of adversity is to have an unbreakable spirit. Keep safe and dream big.
