Try-
Don't be afraid of failure-
some of our best accomplishments are achieved after many failures- If we don't try we cannot achieve and if we don't try we cannot be victorious- But if we don't try we already failed-

Tip of the day #35
See the big picture-
You ever have something happen or come upon a situation that directly involves you and you respond to it immediately and several days/weeks/months/years down the road you realize that you completely blew that one out of proportion from the start?
I think it is a matter of seeing the big picture that allows you to respond in a correct manner.
Being able to think into the future is a key to seeing the big picture. Sacrificing now for someone or something's future is seeing the big picture- Spending time with someone or on something now instead of self satisfying is is seeing the big picture- Seeing a test or trial for what it is instead of seeing 'poor me' is seeing the big picture.

How to type on facebook
Have you ever looked at a facebook conversation and thought to yourself that these people must be retarded must be grammatically lacking by choice with how they spell things? It takes twice as long to read a post or comment when they type as though they are texting with things such as "ur th bst thng tht hs evr hapnd 2 me" or "Thx 4 th cal lst nte". It makes you look like an uneducated 12 year old. It's facebook, you have a full keyboard, type it out people, really. That's my opinion anyway.

Tip of the day #30
Don't Assume-
Don't assume, it makes an .... you know the saying... When someone assumes something instead of just asking a simple question that could avoid say an additional trip to the store, or avoid an accident or mishap at work, or avoid an argument or a feud or avoid anything negative really, We think to ourselves, 'why would they assume instead of just asking a simple question?".
Definition of Assume:
"take to be the case or to be true; to accept without verification or proof"
Now you know why the saying goes "to assume make an a$$ out of U & ME- get it- assume- ass-u-me- assume.
Be the big person, ask the question, don't assume. It's embarrassing when you realize you are wrong.

Parents (add on)
The previous post was not as a result of anyone complaining to me about anything. Not family, not friends- If it got to you and caused you to lash out or feel guilty or make a phone call consider why it did. DONT BLAME OHTERS FOR YOUR INACTIONS AND IRRESPONSIBILITY- I've never heard the main caregiver of my relatives EVER complain about her responsibilities with her mom. You can apologize at any point if you acccused her. This post was general- no pointed at any one in particular.
Parents
Parents-
Parents can be alot of things to alot of people for alot of years, but one thing they should never be is expendable.
Whether you have parents or not, whether you want parents or not or whether you need parents or not, most of us have them at one point in our lives. Some for 60 years, some for 60 months and some for 60 minutes. Whether you have them now or lost them young is nothing that you can control. If you don't have them it gives you no special 'feel sorry for me' privileges and if you do have them it gives you no 'feel sorry for me' privileges.
Parents, no matter who they are, should be treated with respect no matter how old or young they are. They raised you and took care of you and you are where you are today because they chose to have you. You may not like how they raised you or who they are today but that was their choice.

Be a responsible parent-
This was originally going to be Sunday's tip of the day- But since Anita and I were under the weather we took care of each other and I didn't feel like thinking let alone typing or anything else for that matter. But PTL I'm almost back to normal and here goes.
Some parents forget that they are parents and have little ones to raise. You'd think that after, say, 15 years they would realize 'hey I better stop acting in my usual irresponsible ways and set a good example'.

Laugh-
Laughing does everyone good- When things arise that are out of your control, Laugh. When things are funny, Laugh. Laugh with your kids, laugh with your friends, laugh with everyone, laugh at yourself.
You ever around someone who seems to not really laugh that much and it seems to be like a hanging around a dimly lit candle, just flickering at humorous things? Well don't be that person!! You be the spot light! The beacon of laughter that makes you glow.
Laughing: It's awesome

Tip of the day #26
Do good deeds-
I've heard many people, including myself, talk about something they want to do for someone, Or some organization they want to volunteer for etc. But they just talk. You heard the same talk every holiday season when giving is more prevalent or when people are in need. People like to ask their friends to join them in giving or volunteering and when they don't get a group, they back out. When it is on your heart to do a good deed, not even giving, but just helping or something small, do it when you have that desire to be a blessing. Don't think twice because good deeds are not a waste- You can't walk around all puffed up because you 'plan' on doing something good as we see something. Do it and do it in secret and see how rewarding that is.
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.

Make Memories-
When your children and grandchildren grow up- when your younger brothers and sisters are older what will they remember? Are you making memories with them little pups?
We are here and now- they are only little once and they grow fast-
So whether they are 2 months, 2 years or 12 years old, make memories.

More 'rock solid' advice for oblivious guys
You ever see those guys who are really on the go all the time when they are single, and you think to yourself "He'll settle down when he gets married" and then he gets married and you say "He'll settle down when he has kids" and then he has kids and you start to wonder if he'll ever settle down, tone down his 'me time' and take the responsibility of his family that his wife has been carrying for years?

Eat Smart-
It may taste good now, and you may be living great now, but in the long run and when you are a few years older, you may regret the unwise decisions you make with your food.
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit the Bible says. It's our responsibility to take care of and respect that temple.

Catholic church not above the law anymore
Philadelphia DA Charges Priests, Teacher In Sex Abuse Case
Now while I'm not a big fan of the Catholic church, i'm also not a fan of people going to jail or doing things to other people that could land them in jail.
So that being said, I'll say this "It's about time that Priests got arrested and charged for abusing children".
For a long time whenever there were allegations of sex scandals or child abuse within the catholic church it was hushed and the church would investigate and punish within itself. Meanwhile, innocent children would be molested and worse in a place where they are supposed to be the safest, in their school or church, but the people who are supposed to protect them, their teachers and church leaders. Where was the DHS in these cases, where was the DA in these cases. The children complain and they are ignored and probably threatened.
So, it's about time the DA did something about. I would not like to see them get convicted of a crime they did not commit, BUT, if they are truly guilty of the crime I would like the see the DA and the judge make an example of them. Put them away for taking the children's innocence from them. Don't let the clout of the catholic church intimidate you.
I say that because this is not a one time crime, it is a repeat crime, one they thought about and repeated. If they are guilty they repeated their crimes. I'm a fan of second chances, they lost theirs.
Really though, if you can't keep it in your pants, leave the church and get a wife or at least a hooker!
The DA is putting a hole in your golden parachute

Tip of the day #15
Make a decision and stick to it! Don't make the decision in haste. Think it through, pray and make your decision for you, not feeling pressure from anyone else. Because unless you make the decision based on your own conclusions and convictions, you will flip flop both in mind and deed.
Be committed to your convictions no matter what they are. They are yours,,, own them, nurture them, keep them fresh. If you doubt, they are not yours.
The way to find out if your decisions and convictions on ANY matter are truly yours is to think , "if I were living alone, secluded with no one to prove myself to or no one to disappoint, would I still decide like this!"

Tip of the day #13
When considering marriage, make sure that the thing that holds/brings you together now is something that will last and withstand what is to come in married life. That common ground, those things you have in common now, will they still be present when kids are in the picture? Is it something that will be out of picture in married life? Therefore putting stress on the relationship because that glue that once was is not allotted a time slot in your busy life. Getting married too young is when some couples run into this situation. They are still too young and in the infatuation stage that they aren't thinking long term. Wait and consider the future with them. I waited til 30. Found lasting bonds and no regrets.

Today is a new day and a new beginning- take advantage of that!
Today is a new beginning. Forget yesterday, don't think too much about tomorrow, live today! Today is here and now. If we hold on to yesterday it will only bring us down, if we fret about tomorrow we will only be discouraged. Think about today and think about the good things it has in store. Everyday is a chance to wake up, have that clean slate of a day set before us and the opportunity to use it as we choose. We can mope and complain about our situation or our family or friends or kids,,, or we can hold on to the good things and enjoy the positive things and people in our lives. Choose happiness- I believe that no matter what we are experiencing, we can 'choose' happiness or we can 'choose' negativity.
Our response and attitude toward little things in our life are just reflections on our outlook on life itself-

Dirty Laundry Anyone?!
Dirty laundry- It's not something your friends and neighbors would knock on your front door and ask to have. Dirty laundry- It's not something you would take to a social gathering and put it on the table in front of all your friends while you socialized and talked. Dirty laundry- It's not something you would keep in your pockets or backpack to pull out and show everyone you saw. Really, it belongs in your house and even more hidden than that, in the hamper to get washed and made clean so when you take that laundry out to socialize it's clean and refreshing and uplifting to see the clean fresh laundry that you have.
So, if you wouldn't present your literal dirty laundry in any of those circumstances, why do so many on facebook think that anyone wants to see their dirty laundry in a social setting such as facebook. Really?! Seriously?! Come on people, no one wants to see your dirty laundry on facebook. It belongs behind your doors and even better than that, in the hamper ready to get washed. And if it's really that bad 'try being a little bit optimistic' that it will get washed or else you are dooming yourself that it will only get dirtier! By airing your dirty laundry on facebook you look like an immature teenager who refuses to grow up and can't take responsibility. Really, if you are over the age of 15, close that hamper lid. Tight, until wash day.

Tip of the day #9
Be an optimist-
There is a world of difference between the everyday life of an optimist and of a pessimist. The optimist sees people and things and situations as possibilities, possibilities that tomorrow will be better or maybe if life seems to be hectic and sucky, focus on the roof over your head and the heat and the money to pay that
heating bill. Focus on the family and the friends that are there for you. A pessimist will always focus on the bad or the negative of a situation or only see a person's decision in a bad light. If a person in a position of responsibility makes a decision that affects us, say, a school teacher, a boss, a manager or parent, we can focus on the fact that it is NOT what I think should be done, or we can look at it as "This person is clearly in this position because they are best for the job, and I'm sure they made this decision based on factors that I am clearly not aware of, so based on this, I am ok with this decision even though it seems unfair to me, my kids or employees".
