Money

"Look both way before you spend your money"

     The ups and downs of money plagues most of us. We spend a lot of time and energy thinking

about it and trying to acquiring it. We grew up hearing both positive and negative sayings about 

money such as "money is power," "the fool and his money are soon parted," "money can't buy love/

happiness." Our view of money is formed based of what we see or hear in our immediate environment.

This can determine whether we become money savvy or reckless with money.


     When we become adults, we're responsible for our own money. We have to decide how we allocate 

it. This is where we have to think before we spend it.  It becomes like a two-way street where we have 

to look both ways before we proceed. We have to practice safety when we start spending.  We don't 

want to spend on other things then become unable to maintain a roof over our head.  We also don't 

want to rack up credit card debts with ridiculously high interest rates.  We want our spending to be 

healthy.  Incidentally, how we spend money impacts our overall well-being so stop, think and look 

before spending it.

Starting Over

If only we could start over, the sky would always be blue and our love would always be true.      So many of us wish for a "do over." We wish we could step back into time and do some things differently. We don't like some of the results we have now so we want to go back and change our answers. We may find ourselves asking the question: What could I have done differently with the  same tools or opportunities that I had then? Now more than ever I understand why we sometimes think like this although it may be entirely fruitless to do so. After all we can't change the past, what is done is done. However, it may help us to find peace with our decisions if we turn them inside out, analyze them and determine why we made them. This could help us to make less choices that we will regret later on.      Getting older certainly can play some tricks on our mind. It has made me think more and more about when I was younger. This, of course,...

Perseverance

"There's darkness and light, sunshine and rain. Nothing remains the same."      Life is a battle in itself. Every day we fight for or against something or even someone. As soon as  we cross one river, there's another to cross. This is why we can often feel like throwing our hands up  and just give up or give in. The light at the end of the tunnel may be taking too long to appear.  That's when we feel like it's all too much and we just can't be bothered anymore. However, when that  wave of hopelessness crashes into us, that's when we have to become a skilled survivor, ride it out  and come out on top.      We have to remember that nothing remains the same, after the darkest night, the sun still appears. When we keep on fighting that's when we get rewarded for not giving up. But we have to believe that things can change for us. When we embed hope in our heart, the light appears.  I went throug...

Companionship

                     "We can touch each other in so many ways,                  throughout the nights and the days.                  You don't have to be near,                  as our love travels through the air" I have heard more than one real life case where someone passes and they are only discovered some days  later on. This is due to the fact that they lived alone and also largely went unnoticed. So many thoughts cross my mind whenever I hear of this. You wonder who were their loved ones. Were those who cared  about them far away? The most unsettling thought is that they may not have had anyone who truly cared for  them. I recall reading an article where it detailed that the man lived alone, ate alone, slept alone, and died  alone. This was all to solidify the point that lon...
