BE YOURSELF

          

                   You are unique.  You may resemble family members

                    since you share some of your DNA.  You may think

                    and speak like those around you.  You may have

                    similar opinions and beliefs you grew up with.  As

                    an adult, you can be yourself.  Be aware of peer

                    pressure and other influences.  Develop your talents 

                    and design your own life.  Honor  your past but plan

                    for the future.  Love yourself, evolve, and be proud

                    of who you are.           

FREE YOURSELF

 Whatever is holding you back or tying you down, whatever obligations you have made or lifestyle you have been living, consider change and set yourself free.  Dream about what is best for you, what will allow you to develop and evolve.  Be your own best friend and advocate.  Soar! 

At the same time, you can help others, but don't impede your own life.  The more you become, the more you can give.   

HOPE FOR THE BEST

 When life is not what you had wished for, when today, tomorrow, and the years ahead may contain unwanted situations, focus on the positive. The future may not be as bad as you think.  As many say, "It is what it is."  Adjust to what you can't control and don't despair.  Hope for the best.  

FLEXIBILITY

The ability to modify, change, or compromise shows flexibility in thinking.  Open your mind and stretch out to experience a variety of opinions.  Decisions made in the past may need some fresh air.  Be flexible.                                                                                                                                               

 

BELIEVERS AND NON-BELIVERS

Many beliefs exist around the world.  Even though there are similarities, each religion thinks it has the truth; however, some people believe in no religion at all.  What you believe often depends on your family, your ethnic makeup, and your birthplace.

Each person has the right to become a believer or a non-believer.  A non-believer usually believes in natural laws, not the supernatural.

   
 

TOUCH

One person to another, skin to skin.  A mother and her baby, a father and his child,  two friends, two relatives, two strangers, two on a date, two lovers, a husband and a wife.  We all need to touch and be touched. A high five, a fist bump, shake hands, an arm around a shoulder, a pat on the back, walk arm in arm, hold hands, dance, hug, kiss, cuddle, embrace, make love.      

                                                                                                                                                                              

 

 

TALK TIME

 What you choose to talk about shows what your mind thinks about.  Consider what you talk about: information about yourself, obtaining information about others, your opinions and beliefs, the situations in your family, local and world events, your past, present, and future.  The list is endless.

Consider what you talk about and why plus what portion of your time is spent on certain topics.  Much talk is about the present and planning for the immediate future.  Think about how often you refer to the past, comparing it to the present.  In a conversation, try to learn about the other person as much as you talk about yourself.  

Talk and listen.  Learn how to help yourself and others through good conversation.
