Today Matters!

When kids we set dreams and fantasized of being forever happy and free. We dreamed of having a spouse and children with whom we would travel on vacation, camp, play, sing and have a fabulous time.

As we grew older things did not always go our way. As we became more independent dreams became tougher to reach, some seemed unreachable. We became disappointed and blamed fate for crushing our dreams, and with it, our souls. We lost faith, inspiration, we gave in.

Luckily, the warrior from within screams… “Nonsense!. The fight is on.”

This is just the beginning of our independent lives. Why give in when you are at the Comander's seat of your ship? It is all about choosing the course where you want to go. Not all routes are possible, but for sure you will identify one if you look harder and smarter.

Wanting to make a right towards the East and cruise the bayside sounds real fun and pleasant. Going left means having to go cross-country, and having to go through mountains. Who knows, maybe the view is mind blowing from up high. You may even touch the clouds. How cool is that!

Not everything in life is a choice. And sometimes, the choices we make are not the best ones. Where we are at now, where we want to be in the future, and how to get there is where we should focus our efforts and energy. Forget about the past. The past is DEAD! Move on!

Learn to be true to yourself, so that you can be true to others. Pretending to be someone else will only get you in trouble. You will live unhappily ever after if you hide your true self to others. You would be surprised how well people react to honesty and knowing that they are dealing with someone 100% transparent. Those that reject you never were your friends. Comprende?

Remember we attract those who have the same values that we treasure, just as we repel those that contract or simply have no values at all. 

Life is too complicated for us to dwell too much in the past.  Remember that TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF OUR LVES! SO LET US MAKE IT COUNT! Life is too short, so why wait?

I could not agree more! Funny thing is, acceptance of ones self doesn't come until life experiences teaches us that. In elementary, middle and even high school, we want to "fit in" - developmentally is how it goes. Growing up, is where we realize we have different areas of strengths and weaknesses. If we are smart, we acknowledge them, surround ourselves with people that compliment us. It is when we indeed understand what you explain that we start taking a chance to get lost in the journey of our choice. Thanks for being so positive and eloquent.
