Do you ‘like’ structure? Whose? Do you place your own structure for yourself or allow others to place structure on you? No choice? Of course there’s choice! Point is if you allow others to place the structure, who do you trust to have your best interests in mine when providing it? And when I said […]
Has the attempt been made on you to fear you into something? That if you don’t – or do – (fill in the blank) something dire will happen? How does this make you feel? Minimally… irritated! Doesn’t work. If fear is the motivator then whatever is ‘changed’ has no foundation. It will last only as
“Judgments are a confession of character.” Just read that on a FB post. What a terrific observation.True that! And a wake up call? Surprised? I’m not certain we all realize this or that others may ‘judge’ us by our judgments… but it is a logical progression – yes? Do you engage, consciously(?), in doing the same

My theme has become – even if I fail a 100 times in the day… I will always try ‘one more time’. For me, I pray, I will always try one more time than my last failure, disappointment, fill in the blank. I’m a goal setter – it gives, in my opinion, meaning to what
Are we too quick to cast the first stone? Or maybe we don’t realize the negative impact our words and/or actions can be when we ‘accuse’. Do we have the ‘facts/evidence’ correct?

In absolutely everything you do and say there is personal investment. It may or may not be personal interest, agenda but it is investment. However, I don’t believe that personal investment and personal agenda necessarily define one another. They can and sometimes do… but not necessarily.
