Twouble with Twitters...

Does anyone know of someone who twitters and acts like this?

LIVE OUT LOUD!!!!!!!

Live you lives out loud. It is all about creating the life you have always wanted to live instead of just dreaming one day it will happen or keep putting it off until later.

We all assume we have a future but unfortunately, that is not the case. There is no guarantee what will happen past today. All we really know is that we have the present to live our lives and make them the best that we can.

Of course, I want us all to believe there is a future and be responsible in planning for it but we can not live our whole life based on the future. We have to base our life on the here and now. How many times have you wished you would have taken that opportunity? How many times have you wished you had said something different? How many times have you wished you could get back some of the time you have wasted?

You can make a change today! You can decide to start living your life! How do you do that? Dream Big, Stop the drama, Hold yourself accountable, Learn to say no, LAUGHT TOO MUCH, Stop waiting to be perfect, Be honest, Simplify your life, Achieve goals, and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!!

Life...

Our society places great emphasis on individuality. We are encouraged to express our unique selves, and to pursue our personal aspirations and beliefs.

 

I believe that in most friendships or relationships each person desires this individuality for the other as well as for him or herself. They want to be true to who they are, and for the other person to recognize and accept them for those very qualities. Likewise, they want to know who the other person is, not a character they are good at portraying.

 

There is, however, a catch to being unique, to being open with another. In my experience there are times where being yourself is inconvenient. In certain situations it seems as though being who you are may hinder you from progressing with another person. This is especially true, but not limited to, relationships.

If you start off being someone else, how will they ever know you?

I, unfortunately, came to this realization after the chance to make any changes had passed. On the one hand you helplessly wish to go back in time and stop yourself from pretending. You are able to replay moments and ask yourself, "What was I thinking?" But there is also the part of you that wracks your brain trying to think if even for one instance, you were yourself with that person. And, if so, was it enough? Would circumstances have been different had you remained true to your character?

 

I, personally, would love to say no. It would be comforting to tell myself that nothing could have changed the outcome. But I cannot answer with certainty, because how could I know?

 

Compromising your identity is degrading to yourself as well as the other person. By not being yourself you are assuming you know already that he or she would not accept you for who you are. There are two details very wrong with this logic. One, you should not surround yourself with people who do not care about you because of who you are. You should never feel uncomfortable being yourself around someone. Also, since you are not in fact the other person, you really have no means of determining who they would and would not like, nor should you be the judge of it.

Today

On this brand new, beautiful Monday morning, I want to take a moment to remind myself that my day will not happen to me. I will happen to my day. Today, I will actively create my day by consciously making decisions. I will choose my reactions wisely. I will cultivate those things that bring me fulfillment. I will be aware of the situations that I create today.

In the skyscraper of life, I am the architect, the designer and the construction worker.

The decisions that I make today will yield results. Those results are neither bad nor good; success and failure are judgments. The outcomes that I create today are simply results. Whatever outcomes I create, I will develop, learn and grow as a human being.

Today, I remind myself that there is nothing that I must do. Even breathing, at some level, is a choice. I will create time for the people and things that I love.

Today will unfold exactly as it must. This I know.

Life is a song

Sex For Sale

GCC is starting a new series this weekend called Sex For Sale. I am very excited about this new series, as I have invited a few of my co-workers to come to a weekend or more with me. They are a little hesitant but are ready to come encounter it all as well. So I am excited to see how God will open doors in these relationships.

Check out the trailer here...
