“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (39) “ANOTHER LESSON FROM 50 CENT”

 

“Either pray or worry - - don’t do both.” ~ 50 Cent

Regardless of your spiritual inclinations, this quote hits a note.  It comes down to your need for control; our need to understand and make sense of things; and our need to NEED.  Our minds are dramatically more complex than other life forms, but that’s not necessarily always a good thing.

“We internalize things more and manufacture suffering.  No animals are worried about what time it is, or being late, or even running out of time.   Animals only experience fear in the present, and that fear is what they use to get out of danger.  Our fears plant seeds in our brain to grow into things we have yet to experience or finished experiencing a long time ago.  For reasons like this, we’ve done wonders in the field of suffering.”  We unfortunately don’t have a pill option for this.  Worry exists in the future, and like depression of the past, it can spiral out of control very quickly.  The anxiety that comes with worry and depression is no longer mental or physical, and will mess you up, trust me I’m experienced here.

“Only you know if your worrying is warranted; it’s expense you primarily pay.”


“Worry does not empty tomorrow of it’s sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” ~ Corrie Ten Boom

  My goal here is to encourage and inspire you through the trials and tribulations of my own life’s journey.

Wan’t to know something?  We...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (40) “LESS EXPECTATIONS LESS DISAPPOINTMENTS”

  We all have expectations and I would be delusional to think that I didn’t.  Can you imagine a life without expectations?  I still have expectations of people, personally and professionally, and both still tend to let me down.  “Blame and power go hand in hand, so giving it away ,any not be the best choice”.   I, like you, have been deeply hurt by people in my past.  “Within that pain are jewels of wisdom that can put you in a position not the repeat the same foibles.  Our heart is very resilient, and it will survive even when someone steps all over it”.  If you’re anything like me, you know first hand that we can be overly dramatic, and we’re harming no one else but ourselves.  Learn from those mistakes so they don’t hopefully happen again, and again.  “Pay attention to actions over words, they’ll always be more revealing”.  No can shield you from the pain life brings, it’s actually essential to our well being.  We humans lea...
