Make what you do Last;don't be Last to do it

Wandering around at work today i overheard my parents conversing about moving to florida and moving the company and my family along with.  30 years deep into his career my father who started his own company from scratch has finally peered down the barrel of where he wants his future to reside....Florida.  No more long, cold, snow filled winter mornings where he has to clear all the snow and prep the company at 7 am before the employees stroll into work.  At last, he is finally taking steps forward toward getting to his ultimate destination where he's always wanted to be.  Being born in South America 50 years ago, to moving to america at age 18, to joining the arm, to meeting my mom, to starting a family while getting married while slaving for a company, to deciding to have a dream one night....what happened next is what a lot of people fail to do...Make their dreams come true.  not only did he dream to own his company he was able to start a company that would be able to feed his family for the past 30 years.  all five of his siblings, two parents, wife, all four of his children, and hundreds of employees over the past 30 years this man was able to make his dream last longer then most people can even dream.  sometimes i wonder how he was able to be so successful at being such a great business man without a college degree and coming from south america at the age of 18 with just 200 dollars to get started.  Determination; there is no other explanation in my mind, how else do you take 200 dollars and produce a multi-million dollar company that is willing to feed everyone in your family.  He was so determined that he once was told that his dream was outrageous and would not work; his dream was to create a cosmetic company that was able to produce a product few companies would ever be able to produce.  this product came 12 years or so once he started the company...it was a lipstick that was one color and changed to a different color when you put it on your lips.  Instant HIT, this idea was later replicated by few other companies that could master the formula but what mattered most wast that he wasn't the last to do it.   the first person to do something no other person has is always the one who is always remembered for eternity.  til' today we read about emperors, presidents, and people of great power who did things thousands or hundreds of years ago but are still in the pages of history.  you never read about a person who is acknowledged for being the last to do something.  so as people looking to succeed in life we need to remember, determination is what should drive us to be the first to do something.  once we achieve this  we need to remember to begin the legacy of our dreams because all that hard work shouldn't last just as long as your dream.
Sincere,
LIfE

The Body is only GOOD for what the Mind wants

sitting around at the gym today i learned that self control is something we as humans have a rough time controlling.  i mean how many times do we tell ourselves that we gotta make a change...gotta stop gambling, gotta stop eating so much, gotta stop wasting money or shopping but in the end we still find ourselves doing the same things over and over again.  I've come to the conclusion that the body is only good for what the mind wants meaning that the body cant make any types of decisions outside of what the mind wants to do.  we have to want to do something in order for the body to follow...prime example working out at the gym...we've been saying for months that we want to start getting in shape again but for some reason we just can't bring ourselves to get there...the body has no way of being in shape unless your mind gets your ass to the gym.  once we are at the gym and the mind is telling the body to exercise only then we can see results...not only did you just strengthen your muscles but you strengthened your mind by actually have more self control then the past few weeks.  as with all good things..you need to work to get them...so as you start to get ready for bed tonight maybe do 10 pushups 20 sit ups...do something...shit have sex for all i care...just do something to work the mind and body...It's not only great for you...but it makes you feel great as well and everything has to start somewhere so why not start it before you end it?...GET TO IT

Sincere,
LIfE


P.s. dont fall behind in what you believe in because then you'll be looking forward to something you may not be able to grab onto ever again

The World's Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

So after shoveling snow for roughly 2 hrs i took a minute to glance up and see a beautiful morning sky...made me think of how beautiful this world truly is when no one is around to potentially ruin the picture.  i'm constantly thinking looking up vacations and new places to go...sometimes all the distractions you have taking place on your vacation can ruin the beauty of the place your actually at.  i always had a dream to venture off and travel the world for about a month seeing different places once i graduated college as a graduation gift to myself...WELL I'VE GRADUATED and still no journey around the world yet.  Things that you hold so dear to your heart are sometimes the ones that hold you back from your dreams...no 2 dreams alike...and no 2 people dream alike either i've come to realize.  Expressing your dreams to a person is easy...telling them your going to take action towards gaining your dream NOT so easy.  In LIfE telling someone something sometimes is alot easier then doing it.  Just the other night I was watching a show discussing theories about when the world is going to end "2012"; i mean damn i only have 2 years left?(time to get a move on with achieving my dreams).  The thought of the possibility that one morning we could wake up and the next life could be over is a little bit scary...but isn't that possible any day we wake up?.  at the same time imagine all the people on 12/11/2012 who are going to tell people their darkest secrets just because they think that there might be no tomorrow.  Such a shame we have to wait till the last minute to say things or express feelings because we live in the shadow of fear...fear of rejection that is.  no 2 people dream alike...just because we feel a special way about a person doesn't mean that they feel the same towards us.  so we live life no bearing how we truly feel and hold back expressing our true desires because of the fear of rejection.  I mean how many times do we say something to a person and say JUST KIDDING; but your really NOT?.  We are desperately throwing ourselves out there to hopefully grab a feel of what the other person might say or feel towards what we just said.  IS THIS WHAT IT'S COME TO???.  Possibly what we need to do is to start expressing ourselves and living our lives outside of the the shadow so that way we can truly see the beauty of the world.  If somethings beautiful appreciate it..if its a person let them know regardless of their response brighten their day tell them how you truly feel so they too can come out from the shadows of this hidden world and start seeing the beauty of the world themselves.
Sincere,
LIfE


Ps. Speak your mind regardless of the situation, no idea can be wasted or stupid unless it is one that is never expressed.  The world could be so much greater if you lived it the way you truly felt.

Til death do us part; or we rip each other apart til death?

So happy when you finally say it...remember that what you say is not necessarily how you feel.  I mean how many times can you have the same arguments over the same things before finally realizing that your ripping apart your relationship.  IS IT WORTH IT??...the fight or the relationship...which is more important..WAIT; OH YEA THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE IN THIS....so even though you may decide you want the relationship or the fight...the other person in it may not want the same thing.  Everyone always tells us you have to "sit down and discuss whats bothering you"...well in todays LIfE who has the time to sit down...i mean even if we were to sit down we would probably have a cell phone, t.v., facebook, or some other kind of distraction going on.  This is what its boiled down to in my eye...DISTRACTIONS.  You want to live your life make everything perfect with a perfect partner and a perfect life...how can you manage that when all you have going through your head is news feeds, statuses, gossip, fights with your partner about not seeing eye to eye. In the years before technology there weren't all these distractions; WE USED TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK.  Today say one wrong thing and that person is off in lala land picking out a friend from a internet society to vent to.  How do we achieve excellence within our relationships? they always say that practice makes perfect BUT i don't want to be with someone that's been with everyone.  So as your sitting around doing paperwork, watching the Jersey Shore, or doing whatever your heart desires ask yourself this...Why are we always trying to make decisions based on the past rather then the present? I mean after all what is done is done and what is said is said RIGHT?...proactively thinking and basing decisions in the present on what may happen in the future may not be the answer either...WE GOTTA LIVE IN THE MOMENT...Do What you Gotta do to survive...so simple a caveman Did it
Sincere,
LIfE


Ps.  take some time out of you day and have some alone time...proactively think, meditate, lay in bed watching the fan spin...RELAX AND THINK...where do you want to be and what is holding you from getting there?

2 Pieces needed to make Peace

On rough occasions we make rash decisions;with time all good things will heal.  well i guess this isn't a good thing or maybe its not long enough to heal...or maybe its the fact that its just not meant to be.  i mean look back on life, look at how hard we try to make amends with others and struggle to put our best foot forward to keep people around; sometimes they stay, sometimes they go, sometimes they stay for a little while but end up going.  I mean what is the driving force behind wanting to make amends with others possibly where we need to look before we can approach that person.  do we want to make amends just to have self-acceptance; that you don't have to wake up knowing someone isn't there that used to be.  maybe its our own realization that we need that person back in our lives because things just aren't the same without them.  well if you went with the first or second option you really have only one option after that...REACH OUT.  Go after it and try to get it back...but one thing i've learned in life is that no matter how hard you try, you can't control another persons life.  WELL maybe you can but maybe you shouldn't.  we live our own lives trying to be who we want to be and trying to control another persons life may be because we aren't happy with our own; in result we try to control another persons life around us in order to achieve what we want that we couldn't get from ourselves.  NOT going too deep into this but sit around, exercise, work, sleep, do whatever you must do today but think about all the times you tried to regain a friendship, relationship, or whatever it may have been by making amends.  analyze why it worked out or maybe why it didnt work out.  Take a look at how you attempted to get what you wanted back; Was it Control? Was it spilling your heart out to them?, What was the reason for wanting them back??....IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING, LET IT GO, IF IT COMES BACK; IT WAS MEANT TO BE....
Sincere,
LIfE


P.s.: never try to control another's life, actions, or decisions...control your own and then maybe the rest will follow...no one in life wants to follow a failure...we all want to follow a successor ....RIGHT??

The Beginning...

Whether you believe in the Big Bang theory, Evolution, Religious, or any other form of creation of this place and world we call Earth one thing stays the same; LIfE.  We are alive and regardless of how it started there is only one way of it ending; Death.  Now I'm not some crazy lunatic trying to shovel philosophical ideas into anyone's head or gain attention by people following me, I'M just discussing LIfE; the ups,the downs, the rights, the wrongs, optimism, pessimism, and just LIfE.  You may already realize that I spell LIfE with L-I-E in caps, because lets face it; How much of life is true?.   I'm already at age 23 and I personally have been burned by Lies more times then i can count; but i can remember them each distinctively.  I mean at age 23 and I can't count the amount of times I've been lied to, let alone the times I've lied (keeping it real) is pretty sad in my eyes.  If i were to live to a 100 I'd sadly have to say that a quarter of my life was filled with lies.  This is why I'm taking a different perspective towards going about my life and giving insight on situations that I come across not only in my life but the people around me I see each and every day anywhere I am at.  No one is safe from being exposed on this page because LIfE needs to be about truth.  LIfE is what you make it;everyone else just shapes it, what i mean by this is that everyone in society shapes our opinions of what is right and wrong therefore to be accepted by society and norms we lie to gain acceptance therefore our lives are what we are making them to be; LIE's.  As a college graduate I have a strong desire to excel in life and make a future for myself.  I want to stand alone from the average person because life isn't guaranteed and death is the only certainty; i want to be great and give the world something they can look up to and take what they need from my insight to make it through their day a little easier.  NO i don't want to be a motivational speaker because lets face it; those guys are great and all if you have problems that are keeping you down.  BUT i just want to be a person to give you something at the beginning of each of your days to keep you thinking and utilize more of your brain throughout your day because THINKING is the first step in my eyes before DOING.  THINK TWICE, LIVE ONCE...LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT

p.s. at the bottom of my insight i might post some items that have interest to me; clothes, shoes, suits, watches, cars, news articles, movies, etc..  THINGS THAT KEEP MY MIND WORKING THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  They say great minds think alike, They also say that your mind works best in the Morning.  Well keep reading back each and every day if you share similar thoughts like mine and remember FILL YOUR DAY with TRUTH and don't let your LIfE become a LIE.
