If you have time, check out my message comment that I have set up for you as well. On that note,I am going to keep it very short and simple, I can't stand the blue links of thank yous and the winks, and If you sent me a blue link I will know then that u didnt take the time out to read what I have set up for you, to understand were I'm coming from. so No blue links Plzz thank you. I will take the time out to say something to you, so I hope u will make time to do the same, you know 50/50 thats all. I don't like to waste my time. and for those that have not yet discovered the value of it u can send ur time els were then, For I'm not a needie person, but I do love WARM hellos. By me being an artist, it is a great challenge as I keep life and everything in it challenging. I truly love a challenge specially in Love and How I love. Understand that I don't challenge the love if its there, but. I really don't want it if it's not real. On that note, I'm not saying that I'm looking for love, but when I love, I love hard and I do have a great love, to help people. On that note if you need that from a friend, then thats cool I can do that. What I get out by doing this is, a better out look on how I can give my all with my art, as a artist. Not to mention my expectations are ridiculous. In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what to do the next time, lets say i know what to do. When you fail it is simply an opportunity for growth. Success in every aspect is like science if you have the condition you'll get the results. I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the Arts and music is nothing if the audience is deaf and bline, but i will find away. .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. ........ Ok now time for a story. Do you like storys? I love storys.LOL One day a young lady was driving along with her father when they came upon a storm. The young lady asked her father what should she do, he said "keep driving." Cars began to pull over to the side; the storm was getting worse. What should I do the young lady asked, "keep driving" her father replied. On up a few feet she noticed eighteen wheelers were pulling over also. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible out here everyone is pulling over." Her father told her not to give up just keep driving. Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was on dry land and the sun was out. Her father said now pull over and get out. She said "but why now?" He said "get out and look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the storm." You never gave up and now the storm is over.......................... .............................. .... .............................. .............................. .... OK do you have time for One more story? I will hope so .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. ........ Planting Seeds A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different.. He called all the young executives in his company together. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you. "The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year fromtoday with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO." One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however... He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him! When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives. Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!" All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!" When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. "How could he be the new CEO?" the others said. Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow. All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!" * If you plant honesty, you will reap trust * If you plant goodness, you will reap friends * If you plant humility, you will reap greatness * If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment * If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective * If you plant hard work, you will reap success * If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation * If you plant faith in God , you will reap a harvest So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.. "Whatever You Give To Life, Life Gives You Back" Watch your Thoughts... they become words. Watch your words... they become actions. Watch your actions... they become habits. Watch your Habits... they become character. Watch your Character... for it becomes your Destiny We can all plant seeds in relationships, our job, our family and most importantly God has planted a seed in all of us. Let it grow to the beautiful flower he has meant it to be for all of us. Enjoy your day today and keep what is important first and foremost. Treat people like you would like to be treated and understand that we are like flowers if we are not being watered and nurtured every day we will not grow. Support each other.
