Napoleon Says...

The new year is coming and 2015 is making an exit. I feel like I wont be alone in saying this but I honestly felt like this year was filled with every emotion possibly felt. I can honestly say that out of all the years of living.. this year I learned the most about myself and others.  2015 beat me up, kicked me down, dragged me through the mud, lifted me up and molded me to be stronger. There were fights and hugs, tears and laughs. What has this year done for you? For me it was the last baby being almost potty trained. In my hardest times, I found out who was rowing with me in the boat and who was drilling holes in it. That was painful for me but I'm glad that it happened because sometimes when you dont know, life could be so much harder than it should be. Agree?  When your given pain and pleasure you have to appreciate both.  If you pay attention closely, there's an intense lesson from all of it. I was never crazy about school and this year is the first I was enrolled in Post University. Other than my kids it really is the best thing I experienced. I enrolled for psychology.. those who know me know that I love people. Although I get around some and wonder omg.. they have a beautiful mind and others make me wonder so much on whats going on in their mind. Learning more about the  psychology world helped me learn more about myself. I believe that everything has an answer but you to kind of dig for it.

To do that we have to be able to except it and that way we can get past whatever we where being held back from. Most people don't know how much power that they have until someone helps them clear their fog away.  Going into the new year we should all try to carry what we learned whether it be good or bad. For me I feel that there is nothing that is wasted. Sometimes you honestly have to learn how to embrace all the madness until its silence and then just maybe you could see that picture clearly. This year gave me so much and sometimes gifts come in there rarest of forms. It showed me that family is something that family doesn't always mean that you have to be together. Life is what you make of it and your family is too. So my children are the ones that I have most access to so I choose to love them harder and learn from them like I never did before. Not that I couldn't learn from them before but after having so much thrown at you, sometimes you can get sidetracked on what is suppose to matter the most. I'm sure throughout the 365 days we have you got sidetracked at least once.  

So can you see inside of your 2016? Share with me... what does it look like? If you don't like what you see.. change whatever your do it now to get a positive future. I know life can be crazy but if you can sit and give your self alone time, think about what your purpose is. Close your eyes and think about it.. put it into existence and make it happen!  I'm such a Napoleon Hill fanatic and he talks about having a definite of purpose.  It is stated in Think and Grow Rich to "Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, put this into action."  Sometimes we make excuses for almost everything but next year will be something that can have the brightest outcome if we start right now! Happy New Year and 2016 will be a new beginning for all. You can do whatever you put your mind to, in 2016 only thing that can stop us is ourselves.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Carl Jung

What is your L.O.V.E?

Why does everyone use this word? For more than a decade the word has lost its meaning to the most severe extent. Does it mean that humanity has seriously lost hope? To see women downgrading to fit in is truly a questionable act that stays in my mind. Women that have the prettiest faces seem to be hurting  the most. Great definition of no self love..This should never be so, love originally had more of a meaning. Looking in the dictionary at the word its described as an intense feeling of deep affection, a person or thing that one loves; feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone). There's so many definitions for "l.o.v.e", yet we do not know what it is! How can this be right,? this seems to make no sense. A man tells a woman "I love you",  or  "I love you" from a mother to her child,  this is a form of true love in my opinion.  But what happens when it isn't? We use that word so freely now .. Its' amazing and not in a good way. Now if you walk into a high school  you hear people saying it with no meaning behind it, what so ever. So, when thinking about the word love...what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Does it involve sex or money? Is love when someone buys you that special shiny box gift with that big pretty bow on top? How about the controlling love? "If you do what I say, then that means you love me." This one seems kind of stressful, doesn't it? I don't know about you but depending on the person, love can cost far too much and will leave you with anxiety, depression and other things you can live without. Although, love is not supposed to cost anything. Love is a feeling, an emotion, something you can not see. If the "L.O.V.E" that your experiencing has you drained a majority of the time, odds are that is NOT for you! Should your "love" mean you have to sacrifice your happiness all the time, that's probably a fraud. Does this sound about right? Love is a feeling, an emotion, something you cannot see. Love never should hurt you emotionally or physically. Love should not be described as a negative thing because it's not.  Right? The child that grows confused because the perspective of love is being abused or unfaithful or worst. When the word love comes to me.. I think the L is for the language that you and the opposition speaks in. O is for remembering the original platform in which everything started. V is or the various times you could have turned away but didn't. The letter E in love is for the intense feeling of ecstasy when knowing that it is given to you.
