"Familiarity Breeds Contempt"

I have heard the saying "Familiarity Breeds Contempt". Hmm... Well, Not in my world!

You know why? Because to me, Familiarity brings about Tranquility in knowing that I KNOW!

So what, if it's boring to most? If You are content with it, then who cares what others say?

I love everything that most Reject because Within those things are where I find the gems, that are waiting to be found!

Example:

1) The meek geek that most would bully around usually turn out to be a Champ or a Star waiting to be born.

2) The ugly duckling girl that no one thought to be pretty end up becoming a successful Beauty Queen.

3) The dorky guy with the thick glasses who could never get a date in school end up becoming a GQ Model.

4) The Geek Freaks that the Jocks all hated and made fun off are usually the ones who end up with the best career and the better life!

Tell me... Are you one of those 4?

Having said all that, If Familiarity breeds contempt in you, then you must have an Attention Disorder! LOL:)

You just don't want to KNOW anything passed screwing your life up! Go to it then!

Ohhh... You say it's all about having fun? Reeeaaalllyyy?

Hey,,, WAKE UP!!!!!!!

Life is NOT fun, you get one TRY and game Over!

Let Familiarity breed and take advantage of the Wisdom that it will give you!

Familiarity is how you become at expert at something!

Next time someone asks you how you became good at what you do...Think about it!

You became so familiar with it that it became second nature and thus you were able to do things and accomplish more than your peers!

Peace To All!

Acceptance...

Acceptance is usually attached to something that may sound unpleasant.

I have heard the word used as a source of Encouragement due to undesired results from certain mistakes. Example: "The quicker you accept the betrayal, the faster you will heal" and

"The acceptance of error will quicken the acquisition of wisdom"

I personally Embrace acceptance very much in the way I just described.

Having said that, I also see acceptance in the sense that there is nothing wrong in receiving back when you have given your best.

Accepting that you were born with a Purpose is sometimes difficult to do.

Once you accept that notion, you are made aware that you are now accountable...

Being accountable means being Responsible.

Being Responsible means having the Acceptance to be Accountable.

Think about it!

Peace....

FORGIVENESS...

Most people close to me with the exception of my Mother and Andrew, often wonder how I am able to Forgive the many offenses some individuals have inflicted on me.

I Forgive not for the offenders but for me. If I do not, then Hatred can develop!

A friend told me once, that if I ever get so mad at someone, the best way not hate, is to do something nice for that person...

You know something? It works!

There will always be people who will do things to hurt us either on purpose or unintentionally.

That is just how life goes!

It is up to Us to set them straight with words of wisdom and to follow it with Forgiveness.

Why should we Forgive? To Free ourselves from the wretched feelings of Hatred and Resentment.

Forgiveness allows us to Free our Minds from horrific thoughts of vengeance or remorse.

Forgiveness allows us to eradicate any Guilt, Shame and Fear.

Easier said than done! Forgiveness does not mean we must condone the offence.

The Offender must be held accountable, but no one has the right to Judge...

Only GOD has that Right!

We need to remember that each one of Us have done things to hurt others too.

None of us can claim Perfection!

Those who know no SIN and have never done any wrong may cast the first stone!

Think about it... Replace the Anger with Forgiveness and Love will win EVERY TIME!

PEACE TO ALL! :)

LIFE and DEATH...

It is amazing how we all seem to take Life for granted. Although I am well aware of Death and have experienced so many in the past year or two, it is something I cannot seem to get used to! My Beloved friend Alan passed away last Aug 20th and after that, 3 other deaths of my beloved friends took place. Tomorrow, I have a funeral to attend once again and I am overwhelmed with grief!

Since the beginning of this year, I have had 5 death news which are enough to depress me to the max!

I know that Death is a part of Life and that we begin to die, the moment we are born!

I get saddened by how some live their lives without the thought of appreciating that God had given them LIFE. Life is not easy, Life is full of surprises and Life is meant to have a Purpose!

I believe that we need to Help others as much as we can with the Talents and Gifts that God endowed us with!

Why is it so tough for many NOT to be greedy? What good will you do with so much money and fame when you have no one to share it with, that you really care about and who cares about you?

YES...Money can buy everything! Temporal Health, Friends, Beauty and even Love.

Do Remember that we only have a certain amount of time alotted to us to be Alive.

WHAT WE WILL DO WITH THAT TIME CALLED 'LIFE' WILL DEPEND ON THE TRUE NATURE THAT WE HAVE SPIRITUALLY. Money and Beauty is but a vapor!

We should strive to make a positive difference in other people's lives, even if they are a stranger!

NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED, THAT YOU WILL SEE THAT PERSON AGAIN AFTER YOU BID THEM GOOD BYE, SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND TELL THE ONES YOU CARE ABOUT THAT YOU LOVE THEM... You might Not get another chance!

'PEACE' To all!

Hope, Faith and Charity...

A new year, a new month and a new day...

At times, we are left with such little hope in seeing a better tomorrow. If we keep the Faith that everything works out the way it is meant to, then we can at least rejoice that we are where we are because it is exactly where are suppose to be at that given moment. We can grow from every experience!

If we remember that we can make a difference in other's lives by giving just a little of our time, then we are able to contribute charitably with a smile. It feels good to give from the heart...

If you are greedy then stay greedy, for there is no point in giving begrudgingly.

However, a day might come that you maybe in need and that is the day, you will find no one at your side. No matter how much money, fame and looks you might have... It all means nothing when nobody wants to be around you.

Give away a smile and a kind word today, I promise that it will make you feel good inside.

And that is what we all need... To feel good inside, don't you agree?

Happy New Year To All! :)

I certainly hope that everyone is getting back into the swing of things. Christmas time is always so hectic and at times we forget what it's real meaning is.

So far, it looks like everyone is still trying to re-cooperate from the Seasonal Flu and Spending! LOL:)

Let's keep an open mind and remember that there will be mountains to climb all the days of our lives! If you are going through something unpleasant, Remember that you are not the only one!

Have a great week everyone and stay BRAVE! All things shall pass! Be a Blessing to someone...

Make them smile and you too shall smile! Cheers:)
