Now about me, I`m originally

from MS just moved to the great state of TX. I love meeting new people and having fun. Having said that, I should also say, I didn`t join the BP family to find s/o for romance or sexual relations! If you notice I`m married!

I`m just here to talk to new people and perhaps brighten someone`s day with kind words.







A thought for EVERYDAY... Why am I here?



I know, when I look at my life, that I have tried to control too many situations so they will turn out the way I think is best. And I know now, that so often when I have done this, I end up unhappy, frustrated and unfulfilled, not knowing why at the time. This is a pattern I have followed all my life, One that doesn`t really seem to be working for me now that I am aware of how fruitless it is to attempt to control things that just can`t be controlled.

I didn`t know that by "letting go" and having more faith -- that things would always turn out for the best--that I would free myself of my never-ending cycle of control, frustration and disappointment. I didn`t realize that it is not always possible for me to know how things should go in order for the greater good to occur. And I didn`t know that by having a little patience, I would be demonstrating faith in the Divine plan.

If I have shown less than faith in something greater than myself throughout my life, I know better now, and I want to begin to live the faith I have always heard about and even thought I had but didn`t really.

I know that letting go of my need to judge and control things in my life is a process, and I don`t expect to be able to do it well overnight. But it does represent a new way of seeing how life can work when you believe that you do not always know what the best outcome will be. I make the commitment now to begin to find my way down that path of trust in a wisdom greater than my own could ever be.

I can begin now to see everything in my life with new eyes- to see every situation I encounter as a lesson and every person I encounter as a teacher. In this way I will open my eyes to a more loving, positive and exciting way of living; one that is infused with the wonder of NOT KNOWING. Because that is where the true mystery of life is, and it requires my willingness to just let it be a mystery.

I know that as I continue to see my life as a series of lessons, I will feel less and less need to set an agenda of my own, and instead can begin to step aside a little, in order to allow my life to unfold naturally. I am ready to begin to trust in this process, and I know it is a way which will bring miracles into my life in the form of a deeper understanding of who I really am, why I am here, and how interconnected I am with all living beings.

And I know that as these life lessons unfold more and more naturally for me because I allow them to, I will begin to accept myself, my life, and others in a more profound way, and I will have so much more richness in my life to share that I will begin to actually seek out experiences which before I might have avoided.

I understand that life is no more and no less than a series of lessons, and I play the role of student who is here only to learn and then pass that learning along to others ina gentle, non-judgemental way. And that the purpose underlying all the lessons I seem to be learning is just this:

togrow in wisdom and to learn to love myself and others better.

That is all that was ever expected of me... That is why I am here.





So, why did I share that and the other poems? Mainly because they have helped me keep my focus so many times when I have been strugglin` with everyday life situations... and I hope that they bring you a sense of calming/peace in your struggles, as well.













RISK



To laugh is to risk appearing a fool



To weep is to risk appearing sentimental



To reach out for another is to risk rejection



To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule



To love is to risk not being loved in return



To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure



But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing



The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing



He may avoid suffering and sorrow,



But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or love



Chained by his certitude`s, he is a slave



He has forfeited his freedom



Only a person who takes risks is free...

Something everyone needs to know...







The Bottom Line



FACE IT... Nobody owes you a living,

What you achieve or fail to achieve in your lifetime is directly related to what you do or fail to do...



No one chooses his parents or childhood but you can choose your own direction. Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome but that too is relative to each individual....



NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE, you can change anything in your life, if you want to badly enough...



Excuses are for losers:

Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners in life. Winners meet life`s challenges head on, knowing there are no guarantees, and give it all they`ve got...



And never think it`s too late or too early to begin, Time plays no favorites and will pass whether you act or not...



TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. Dare to dream and take risks... Compete.

If you aren`t willing to work for your goals, don`t expect others to...
