Those who truly shine have their own minds! :)

Seriously, - think about it for a moment! How many clever people over the history of time have made their marks in the world by being their own person and by paving their own paths. I was thinking about this yesterday as I was listening to Madonna music while I was cleaning.

 

Madonna is definitely the type of person who has her own mind. Madonna knows what she wants, what she has to do to get it, and then she goes out and gets it. Think about it - the woman has been making music for how long now? 30 years - around there. (Boy, I feel old! :-/) Love her or hate her - you have to admit her ability to keep up with the times and reinvent herself when necessary is bloody-well brilliant! It truly is!

 

So why not rip a page out from the book of Madonna and pave your own pathway. Rediscover who you really are. Re-invent yourself, if need be. Don't just settle for what this world or its people lhink you should be. Be bold - Be You! Unleash your own inner Madonna and have a good time with it. J

 

Note: Oh, and BTW, --- in no way am I saying to do all of the crazy things that Madonna has done. I'm only trying to encourage everyone to be their own people. That's the lesson I'm trying to teach here from Madonna. Just saying. ~ D J

When It All Comes Down To It,

I guess it really isn't all as bad as it seems. Yeah, there are moments where things could be a heck of a lot better, but things could also be worse as well. Believe me, I do know this fact of reality all too well because I've seen the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. :-/

 

I've known my moments where I thought that my life was completely horrible when in fact it really wasn't as bad as I'd thought it to be. I've known times when I didn't know what I had while I had it and then one day, it was gone. (People, places, things and the like.)

 

My husband Tom always tells me it's all in perception - how you perceive things. If you think everything in your life sucks, then more than likely its going to end up sucking, even if it wasn't so bad to begin with. So, all in all- for the most part - life IS what you make of it.

 

Boy, there sure are some other side concepts that l can write about here. Future ideas ---* lightbulb* J
