Situations

The places where we go, the people that we meet, the situations that we encounter all mold us into the people that we are, and would like to be. Whether they do this directly or indirectly it solemnly depends.... Surround yourself with greatness; that itself won't make you great, but it can, and hopefully does, motivate you to be great. Visit new places and take a piece of them with you- whether it's material or experience, take something with you- Smile at strangers. Complement people with upside down smiles plastered on their faces. Complement people with smiles on their faces, too. Who cares if your socks don't match? Wear them anyways. Wear your favorite dress twice, three times, four times, wear it until you find a new one that makes you feel greater than that one did. Every road has cracks but if you're focused on the cracks in the road chances are you'll miss the scenery from your side view mirror. When things don't add up, start subtracting. If something doesn't make you happy change it... and if you can't change it, deal with it, and find happiness else where. Life is a work in progress in which time is of the essence and the deadline arrives unannounced, unknown, and with no forewarning... there's no fast forwarding or rewinding it. There's just hope for a better future and acceptance of the past- good or bad. There's also making the most out of today- deal with the cards you're dealt- adapt- overcome- achieve.
