History

History is best remembered as a fuzzy memory than truthfully. Reality is harder to accept in hindsight, especially when we're involved. We like to remember the good than the bad for anyone, as we would others want to remember us. It's the sadness we live with and the happiness we want.

Obvious Thought

Every day you wake up, you're one day closer to your death. How will you spend this day realizing looking back you had the chance to do what you wanted and not what you did?

What Does You In

In the end what catches up with you are time, age, evolution and genetics. You can escape all the rest, or not as disease, illness, accident, violence, risk, etc. can find you, but not those. They are inevitable to each and everyone of us, they are what always does us in.

A Sad Memory

The emotional weight of sad memory is nothing on the mind and infinite on the heart. It's the baggage we carry which we don't feel the weight until it becomes a conscious thought, and then it's heavier than we can ever know. It is a weight without measure and a weight without limits. And still we carry it because it is our memory.

A Liar

You can not argue with a liar and expect to win the argument, because you can't argue a lie, only the truth can, and you can't change the liar unless they want to change and they will continue to believe and espouse their lies as the truth, which you can't argue because you can't argue a lie.

A lie is what it is, a lie. It's nothing else and nothing can prove a lie exists except the person who believes it and espouses it. And we all now why you can't argue with a liar. A liar will deny the truth, distort the facts and excuse reality to believe their lies. It's all they know. They are deaf, dumb and blind to anything else, and why you can't argue with them.

A Jar

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.’

The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else —The small stuff.

‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ He continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.’
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So…

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

‘Take care of the golf balls first —
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled, ‘I’m glad you asked’, he said.

‘It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
There’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’
Perfection. Philosophy for the win.

Tomorrow

When tomorrow becomes yesterday, what will you tell yourself what you had planned and didn't do? What you told yourself you would do and didn't? What you hoped would you would accomplish and didn't? What you wanted to see for yourself which didn't happen?

What words will you use? What words will you want to hear? What words will you hear and accept? What will you do then? What will you tell yourself again about tomorrow again?

Life

Go where the road leads you and keep your mind open to anything, but always follow your heart, especially where there is no road going where you want to go, for there all you will have is your heart to guide you. Your mind will follow if it's true and right.
