Reality Check

Oh yes it's true. Reality. We all know the answers and regardless that inner voice is screaming we like to test out what we plan on the mass opinions. You don't care what other people think? Fine. Unfortunately to make it anywhere, unless your pockets are so deep you never have to worry, others opinions can determine what is in store for your future. Happiness. Yes we all know the fairy-tale answer to it, and no, it's not really difficult, BUT not everyone wants to invest time, much less energy into life lately.

This past week. I had an opportunity, to really get things going on the projects that matter to me the most. I had everything in order, I networked my tail off, and busted every single minute of my free time investing that this would be a big production. Unfortunately for me, the leader of this particular event had things fall through. Yes I'm blessed to be surrounded by understanding people, but this messed with my credibility. I want to say that if you want something done do it your self, well I did everything I could in my power, and then the one that invested all the money had mother nature throw him off course so severely that he didn't bother to delegate. I can't cut the tie. It's a good one to have, for my benefit. We will see. The next few episodes... Met with another prospect, and they were not paying attention to my ideas but me instead. Really? Not interested in chatter or big talk folks. We are in a fast paced world quickly leaving us all behind. I don't want to deal with big talkers with big ideas, I want to deal with people with passion, talent, and work ethic. Those elements are what will slingshot everything to the next level.

Kindness. I've seen people talking about what I've been saying for years. Do something kind. JUST BECAUSE. It will fulfill you. See it's a lot easier to tell some one off, ignore, and not put in time. When I tell people that my new projects pay off are that it just feels good, some are like wow Cat. Others just say why do you work so hard for free? It's something that I will never be able to put into words how it makes me feel, and the satisfaction in my soul. For right now it's been a little here, and a little there...do I expect anything in return. No. Unless friendship and good company is too much. If you want good things in your life, if you want to better your self, then start to live. Lead by example don't take the easy way out and maybe, just maybe more people will return to that frame of mind and our lost society will find itself again.

I've had a few unexpected encounters, I've had let downs, but if I quit now, then it's the easy out. You have to try in life to succeed and make it to a level, a unique one that will stand out. Living out side of my comfort zone, being a bit more daring, has brought some interesting encounters. Regardless that they might seem unsure, or things still seem up in the air, I learn about myself more and more every day, and those moments of life that truly have meant something to me, are the energy and passion that keep me going.

The final thought.
Kindness is not weak. Reality check. My inner core is what leads me to be kind, to give people a chance, to be real and up front. Let's keep moving forward. Live and enjoy the people in your life now. You might not know the whole story, and their time with you might be shorter than you ever imagined. Sometimes you have to realize that those you keep putting to the side don't have all the time in the world, and due to the "less is more" theory they are not going to complain about life, when they are just trying to enjoy every opportunity of every day. Look out for yourself, yes, take time for those you keep thinking will always be there....

For those of you that know me personally, thank you always for your support, laughs, and love.

Fragile

Fragile. Every day it is a challenge to stay positive. You wake up, you tell yourself all of these wonderful affirmations, you promise no matter what, P O S I T I V E. What if within all of this positivity you realize fate, time, it has all come to a moment, when that positive side, that strength...well you hit a bit of a break down? It's not o.k. right? Get over it, stop feeling sorry for yourself, everyone goes through worse...well you know what? What ever we all go through this is not a competition, and we are all built different. I think the main point MOST of us strive towards is to love, be good, kind, work hard, so we can play hard. Remember WORK TO LIVE, not LIVE TO WORK. Balance is the trick. The YING/YANG I have always told people on a bad day, a day they cry or just need to let loose, it's o.k. We are human and every once in a while you just have to cry. It's o.k. to feel overwhelmed? 7 years to the day I moved to this state, is 7 years to the date I'm abou...

End Scene

Sometimes you stand on the edge looking down wondering what could possibly be next? Just when you think you have it all figured out, when it just couldn't surprise you anymore, bam there it is.  There is this thing in life called responsibility. We live in a society that is so wonderful at pointing fingers no one knows the value of sucking it up anymore and taking responsibility for hurting someone, neglecting their care. Money can buy you things, but it can not buy you health nor happiness.  Money can buy you the fancier brand, but it can not buy you class.  In your quiet moments, what do you think about?  How far you’ve come, or how far you have to go?  Your strengths, or your weaknesses?  The best that might happen, or the worst that might come to be?  In your quiet moments, pay attention to your thoughts.  Because maybe, just maybe, the only thing that needs to shift in order for you to experience more happiness, more love, and more vita...

Amen Sista!

No kidding. It truly is amazing. The politics of certain elements needed to get something approved. Sometimes I think companies are wanting trouble. I mean really. If I were to follow...lets say a process to a certain company to get something approved, and they were trying to categorize it the wrong way to avoid payment. Don't they realize that there is still a trail of paperwork for the person following a correct process, to achieve the best results to complete that particular account/claim? Don't they want you to better the situation to resolve the matter? Do you want to spend more money trying to get out of something, than finding the quickest resolution and paying a much smaller price? I THINK NOT!!! O.K. I promised about relationships. Oh my young grasshoppers it has been fun listening. In relationships of ANY KIND...it will all depend. Stand on your ground, but you can not enjoy life if you have everything in a "this is how it's going to be". Haven'...
