Things that work

In the realm of day to day life there are always challenges to overcome.  Some may be harder than others, but in the end, every problem can be solved.  So far, these are the things that I’ve learned that work in just about every situation:

• Honest communication – straight and to the point. Say what needs to be said, but say it as kindly as humanly possible.
• Determination & Hard Work – don’t give up on something you want to achieve, no matter what it is. Don’t expect things to just happen, get out and make it so.
• Karma – you get what you give, so make a point to give the good stuff.
• Dreams – having dreams and ideas is essential to movement. Why else progress through life if there isn’t something to motivate you?
• Humor – let’s no take it all so seriously all the time. I laugh at myself all the time, of course, I’m freaking hilarious. Lighten up, afterall, this is supposed to be fun.
• The Law of Attraction – be responsible for what you allow into your life.  Be careful what you ask for – you’ll get it.
• Organization – everyone has their own method, but we must know where to put and place things and find them when we need them again.
• Endurance and Positivity – the shit hits the fan every once in a while. And in order to come out of it, we gotta look on the bright side. Even in the toughest times, we gotta hold on and keep on truckin’.
• An Open Mind – if we know it all, why are we still here? Every difficulty is an opportunity to learn, take it as such. Learn it well, so you don’t have to repeat the lesson.
• Faith – we have to know we can. Faith coupled with dreams and determination & hard work – an unstoppable force.
• Acceptance – sometimes no matter what, we won’t get our desired result. It’s nobody’s fault. As I like to say : It is what it is. Everything happens the way it’s supposed to. All is as it should be. Sometimes, we just gotta let go.
• Help – we are not each isolated on our own island. We can’t do this alone. When you need help, and we all do, put the pride aside and ask.
