Taking Risks

Before you take a risk, you really have to think it through and see if they’ll be consequences or benefits from taking that risk. What will you lose, what will you gain, and was it worth it? You also have to think if that in the long run what will come out of it and was it thought out and a calculated one? Is this risk you’re taking something that gives you immediate gratification or is it something that will pay off in the long run?

The question is how will you know if you don’t try and if that risk includes others what will be the outcome be for all of those involved?

I’ve taken all kinds of risks before over and over again and some definitely paid off and some left me asking, ultimately how did taking that chance benefit me? The answer being in some instances it was definitely well worth it and on the flip side it left me feeling frustrated, annoyed, aggravated because of all the time and effort I put into it and I had nothing to show for it.

I could make a list of all the risks I took. Good and bad but I guess what I continue to learn is that if I didn’t take that risk/chance would I have still been wondering what my life would have been like if I didn’t.

I’d say for the most part I’m glad I had the gumption to take that leap of faith in taking those risks, because when I sit back and think if I would have done things differently I wouldn’t have the beautiful life I live today. All though it isn’t perfect and I continue to make mistakes everyday, I still have a lot to be thankful for. From this point on I guess it’s still a learning and “taking chances” process and it involves using both the heart and mind.

Starting from scratch

To me, life will always be some sort of a process. What’s the saying…if you don’t succeed, try again. Well, it’s true. How do you know what will make you happy if you don’t go out there and truly experience life right? If something doesn’t work(relationship, job, etc.)then change it or fix it.

I love sharing my thoughts for the day, recipes, as well as tips and ideas I learned from other bloggers and pinners. Oh how I love Pinterest! I hope you enjoy reading my posts and if you have any ideas or comments you’d like to share with me, please feel free!

I’ve had this site for over 5 years so my life has definitely changed. Relationships have come and gone, I’ve moved a few times, and I loved and I lost. But, this is life right. If I was to go back and delete all my past posts, you wouldn’t have seen the journey I’ve been on. Some of my stories are possibly something one of you could relate to.

Everything that has happened to me thus far has brought me to where I am today. I’ve learned a lot. Maybe you can too. Don’t ever contemplate change. It’s a good thing.

Ya talk too much

Sometimes I wonder what the hell goes on in my head? I talk way too much and to the wrong people sometimes. I go on and on and write these novels thinking people wanna actually hear what I have to say but in reality I think only a few do. I’m also thinking of cutting my ties with some certain people by deactivating my facebook for a while. I wish I cold deactivate it yet keep it only for myself but I am afraid one day the private button won’t work lol. ANyway here is a post that I was going to put on facebook but chickened out. I have no idea why usually I have no problem saying what I feel but lately I feel like I lost my voice. Hard to explain.

One of my random theories in life to live by today is; you can’t harbor bad feelings of what or who caused you pain in life because it will only consume you and end up robbing you of the good that you’re surrounded by. If you constantly dwell on the negative, that is what your life will become.  My misfortunes in life aren’t anything compared to what a lot of people are experiencing right now and that is the positive I am holding on to and cherishing. Any other thoughts are unacceptable at this point. As long as my boys/family/friends are healthy and happy that is all I care about.  I am surrounded by so much good that when I think about how great my life is, those feelings of contentment that I have, cancel out everything and everyone that cause me grief. It is truly an amazing and genuine feeling, if that makes sense. I post things like this because I want to share ALL the good in my life. My other intention for posting thoughts like this is that maybe someone out there can benefit from what I am saying. Nothing more, nothing less.  If I can’t do something for someone physically or in a monetary kind of way, maybe I can’t help them out mentally by saying certain words that will help them look at life in a different light or maybe change their way of thinking for the better.

This is where I need to be, with my babies sitting right next to me……I can’t wait to leave it all behind.

Not so quick thought

I had so many things I wanted to blog about today but didn’t even get a chance to jot it down to do it after. “You never know,” is a quote someone put into my nieces program for the play along with their advertisement. But, it just stuck out in my head today for so many reasons. Last week we had a shooter right here in our village. Everything and everyone was turned upside down. There was one “you never know.” It’s scary but true because you truly never know one day from the next whats going to happen. You also never know who you are dealing with, neighbors, friends, even family to a certain extent. Lately, I have been finding out so many sides to so many people. Good and bad sides, trusting and not so trusting sides, along with I am totally shocked sides.

You never know isn’t a bad statement, it just means don’t assume you know everything about someone no matter how close of a friend you are. I see now why some people do the things they do and what makes them tick. I watch them get angry and act out and realize ohhh okay is that where all the emotion is stemming from. A lot of it comes from a person’s childhood. I truly believe that. Traumatic events and not so traumatic events that happened during someone’s youth can explain why they are they way they are today.

People display so many different type of emotions. I saw resentment, anger, disgust, guilt, all in one night!!! This was sitting on the other side of the fence and I thought to myself, I don’t want to be like that or end up like that. I don’t want to be in a hateful relationship. People can tell each other that they love one another all they want but it shows how they talk and treat to each other. If you can’t get past whatever resentment you have towards the other person then you need to let go or if your carrying some type of hate as a result of what happened to you in the past, stop. Stop taking it out on people who love you the most. It sucks. I see myself doing a little bit of both. I make excuses for the things I do and what I’ve had done to me in the past. It isn’t right and I know this. Making excuses isn’t any way to live life. Change has to happen now before it’s too late.
