Many people believe that their pet is there for them, and their children, and this, and that, and the other….

Many Americans cannot even enjoy the finer things in life without becoming restless and bored within a relatively short period of time. Many cannot even enjoy what is truly fine in life without becoming restless and bored So where do you go?

People want someone ‘they see’ as normal.

Two kinda people in this country. The one’s that make money, the one’s who spend money. One’s make more than they spend, and the one’s…

Some of these websites [businesses], sooooo accommodating. Hmmmmmm, how nice of them to continue making things easier and easier for us to spend our money.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world the kind that when faced with adversity they make things worse and the kind who went faced with adversity make things better. I was the kind of person all of my life who made things worse. If you were gonna make me miserable I was gonna make you miserable I guess. I think in sobriety I tried to bring in some solutions some solutions but people don’t want to listen to solutions that require things of them often times.

When I lived with my grandmother and Van nuys I noticed she really didn’t have many friends looking back. Maybe that’s why it never really seemed to occur to her that I didn’t have any either. A boy growing up needs friends and companionship like a dog. Unfortunately we lived in an apartment that didn’t allow dogs.

I think that “if I think about the world I’m a part of the world”. As long as I continue to think about it, I’m attached to it or a part of it. I think that’s been my thinking and my reasoning for many years now.

The army wants you to have balls the size of watermelons when it comes to the enemy and balls the size of peas when it comes to the chain of command. At least that was my experience 1st hand.

So tired of people in this country if you don’t know how to say “when”. And the country that refuses to put limits on how much people take out of the system. We put limits on everything else except for the rich and the powerful and the greedy.

I suppose the idea of being saved by God and a hereafterz an eternity in paradise is something beyond most people’s comprehension, whereas money and things seem a bit more believable, comprehendable unfortunately. In fact, whose isn’t it?

It’s hard enough sacrificing to GOD in adulthood when you’ve led a fulfilling, satisfying childhood. But to have sacrificed both in your childhood, your childhood and your adulthood?

people either care or they don’t typing we shouldn’t have to persuade them. That would be the case in a perfect world

People who are most successful in relationships seem to be the ones who wear them like a loose garment. HAPPIEST TOO!

It just dawned on me that my grandmother dealt with me with anger and that’s how I’ve dealt with my relationships all of my life.

People trying to get along with each other if you can do it you’re ahead of most.

I’ve never seen such consistency among humanity except when it came to collecting a debt and I’ve never seen so much inconsistency except when it came to paying back a debt. At least that’s the planet I’ve been living on.

You think a man who has a knack for getting women is better than you, has something over on you?

You think it’s possible for everyone to make a living doing what they love?

If your attitude is worse or beneath your partners…

Somebody always flinches 1st in a new relationship.

Make 90% of women happy and I love you forever. But shouldn’t there be more to it than that? There should but in many relationships the majority of their bond is based on this highly valued commodity, this overvalued commodity. I do know this and it’s just my guess, all the relationships I was in where I didn’t make a woman happy didn’t last. All the relationships where the woman didn’t please me or where I was displeased didn’t last. Arrogant? Probe a little deeper.

Throw a million pamphlets out of a 50 store building window in the middle of New York with a Church gathering time time and place on at and see what people do. Now throw a million dollars out of that same 50 story building in the middle of New York and see what people do. Most people don’t wanna be safe they wanna have things.

To be healthy is not to worry about anything unless there’s a legitimate reason. To be ultra-healthy is not to worry at all -based upon faith.

People who are screwed up or have issues by definition tend to get tangled up with others. The other side of the spectrum would be that that people who are screwed up or have issues tend to isolate. Therefore, healthy people…

Far too many people are on giving. Not only do they miss out on the opportunity to be yopportunity to be useful to others but in a joy unlike any other that comes with it People who lack this quality also lack this joy which is beyond description. The sense of Is purposeful value that allows a person to fall in love with themselves.

The closer we draw to GOD and the closer we draw to acting in accordance with HIS will, the more things will improve for us.

It’s not always what I write but the clarity and the the surrealism that comes to me in a Flash regarding that particular concept or truism that is sometimes the force behind the writing -rewriting, redundancy.

Many people are the way they are because that’s the way they’re made through no fault or credit of their own. Many people due to the way they were made, are forced to have to reconfigure themselves while others readily reap the benefits.

Some of us have been guided by friends and family and others have to find their own way. Many times the latter never do. It’s important to be guided wherever possible.

Some people rely more on dreams than trust to guide their future.

I think trusting is more important than dreaming. I think faith is more important than imagination.

I think how a person lives is more important than living.

There are times in every person’s life when they don’t feel like they’re doing much living. Like much is going on. Like their life is going anywhere either. But never lose sight of the fact especially during these times during these times regarding how you are living day-to-day. Are you living with dignity? Are you being honest with yourself and others? Are you being kind and respectful. Are you staying away from things your heart tells you you have no business getting into? Are you keeping in some sort of contact with a higher being? How you doing little things here and there to remain relatively productive and content?

Re: worrying about the rest of the world 🌎 Well that’s something we each must discover for ourselves and about ourselves.

A person can know everything they need to know need to know about human relationships and understand nothing. Of course this is the case with anything but what more important?

Be of good cheer and good nature!

Many people believe the remedy for feelings associated with losing is winning.

1)EDUCATION

2)RESPECTFUL

3)NOT 🏆 WIN

Happiness

1)Good health

2)Share moments with people I like

“I have always been happy outside of tennis. It is not something that makes me lose sleep or have any fear of my life after tennis.

“I have and have always had many things that make me happy beyond tennis.”

It’s not good to get tangled up with other people -individually or the world at large. Now you notice I said tangled not involved. We have to get involved with people in order to establish relationships and in order for them to progress and deepen. And I’m talking about setting boundaries because it’s much more than that. It’s something strategic, something meaningful on both sides of the line. Much if not all of the problems with the world stem from people getting tangled up with one another.

I have found having things doesn’t make you happy, doing things does.

Our attitude which is often predicated upredicated upon what we focus on and how we perceive what we focus on determines whether there is even a battle to be fought within us. Many people who are commendated for their attitude under duress [presumably] are sometimes actually… disconnected. Still others have already won the supposed battle [in their minds] because of where they tend or choose to focus, and or how they perceive. Many people make the battle harder than it has to be while other people make it less than what it actually is. I’m not sure who in either case deserves a commendation or admiration. I suppose seeing things for what they are and and then assessing whether or not there is an actual battle to be fought, determines whether or not a commendation is in order, admiration is warranted. Truly admirable people see things for what they are; and in the instances where a significant battle truly exists, or a significant amount of courage is required, and they rise to the occasion; that is to be admired. Also one must take into account that… And this adds a bit of a twist if not an apparent conflict to the aforementioned, our abilities along with our mental and emotional makeup must be taken into account in individual cases. What is heroic for one is not heroic at all for another by definition [One man struggle… 🤷‍♂️]. And of course, depending on your definition.

Sometimes people find each other and assumingly Monday in atmosphere or happenstance. What’s most extraordinary is what blooms from it. With other people though, finding each other in itself is extraordinary.

As we become less and less reliant on something doomed to fail us over and over again, our attitude towards that thing will also likely change for the better. 🤷‍♂️

If you got a goiter at 60 your attitude would likely be much different than if you guided at 20.

It’s not good for a person to think too much of themselves no matter how far in life they’ve gone [or come]. The Virgin Mary was the closest thing to perfect that ever was on this planet as a mortal human being and yet she thought little of herself. It’s a strange contradiction. But whether we are somebody or not somebody we should always think little of ourselves. Because there’s beauty and peace and safety in that.

I am a part of the world by design whether people themselves accept me or not and the same is true of you. We are all an intricate part of the makeup of the world whether others agree or like it or not.

No need to worry about the world. Well it’s true it’s got more than its fair share of problems it is also true that it spends enough time in self-concern as it is.

A lot of us never quite realized the world we’re living in. We live in a fantasy world. Or a sheltered existence.

I think sorrow comes more from the things we can not control; while happiness comes more from the things we can control?

An abundance of positive, constructive emotion; A minimal of negative, destructive emotion; both often leading to…

Figure out a way to keep your spirits up in every situation you encounter. So you can present yourself in a positive attitude towards everything and everyone you encounter.

Man has a remarkable ability of being consistent when there’s something in it for him or when he’s owed or when he hates. But take away these factors, and consistency or interest seem to drop off dramatically. 🤷‍♂️

Some are able to establish amazing camaraderie with their fellow human beings. Others are not. Is one better than the other? A lot of times we are thrust into experiences which lead us to the type of person that later experiences in life differ very much so fromother people’s experiences. That differ very much from experiences we would have otherwise had we not undergone certain experiences previously. Can we do something about it? Should we do something about it? Should we spend our lives struggling to get back to where we think think we should have been originally? Where we might have been originally? Can we? Or should we just accept our lot and in that find strength and peace and happiness? There are options. I think ultimately it comes down to finding our way back to GOD’S plan for us and not our own. Some of the guidelines are not to do wrong no matter where we’re at. To be grateful. To not place anything of greater importance than HIM. To always improve as a human being. To you have the best possible relationships with those around us [AA]? I don’t necessarily think we have to go back in time to achieve these things do you? Maybe?

When they give you this outstanding offer how do you know they haven’t already factored it in to the price? A) YOU DON’T B) THEY PROBABLY HAVE
