I AM ALL POWERFUL, BOW BEFORE ME

Some people can be more prone to suffer from delusions of grandeur because of their status in society. With all the praise they receive for their achievements it is hard for them to feel that they can do no wrong but no body can escape the underlying truth that as people we are all capable of having a bad day. Those suffering from delusions are superstars in the eyes of the public and this only adds to their delusions of grandeur but being great at something doesn't mean that your are infallible at everything else. A head swollen doesnt see clearly and mistakes can be made because having the power you have is limited and controlled by who gave you that power in the first place. Whether you are an entrepreneur with many talents or a famous person with many fans without those who admire you,  you are only left to admire yourself. So be humble and be true to the person you were before you achieved your success and people will respect you even on your toughest days and remember no one is perfect and no on has to be. 

THE ZOMBIE GENERATION

Kids of today may be referred to as the zombie generation which might seem an over exaggeration when stating from an outsiders point of view but once observed up close their are a lot of common factors. Kids walk with no purpose better than a neanderthal but befitting to the walking dead. Asking them questions they'll answer with a grrrgrrr, if you ask them to do anything they'll forget your instructions three seconds later the same interaction you'd get if you were trying to converse with a stiff. They act like life is over because of the smallest thing that is not going their way even though it's just the beginning of their life. Will time revive the lazy zombie or is simple technology enough to mesmerise them with the same effect that fresh meat dangling infront of a hungry zombie causes. Being a zombie may seem like their is no hope but if a zombie can find a purpose to move forward even at a staggering slow pace just to search for meat then their is hope for kids finding their feet and searching for something more interesting than what's in their bedroom. So to the kids of the world show us that your generation has more than meets the eye and us oldies will admit that it's your time to shine and we'll move aside so that the kids of the world can pave their way to greatness. 

BLACK AND WHITE

People would rather close their eyes then acknowledge the truth when it's written in black and white. Only the strong minded people are able to accept the errors in their personal views and move forward. It feels strange to accept that smart people can do stupid things because we see intelligence as covering all spectrums but your level of intelligence is usually focused on your passions. The truth can be painful to accept because it is not filtered and we live in a generation where we try to protect our kids by cotton wooling their experiences. The reality is that the hard truth is not compassionate nor empathetic it just is an answer to the question we find ourselves asking, How come?. The answer doesn't have to be forgiving or fair it is merely the truth to why things are the way that they are and by understanding the why you might be able to come to terms with the reasons that got you here even though your mind finds it difficult to grasp because the truth contradicts your point of view. If you base your core beliefs on untruths you will never beable to build a solid foundation that being mature will allow you to reach which will lead you to gain the skills to beable to build a positive lifestyle. So grow up and remember that learning doesn't stop just because you are out of school, and accept the truth for what it is and not what you would rather it be.

JUST A WORD

Words are created and changed through our evolution of our species but even though the power of words can highlight by encapsulating a meaning, without people grabbing hold of the new word and adding it to their everyday vocabulary it will eventually be discarded into the already ever growing not used pile of useless words. Words can sometimes transform from generation to generation and when a word is created to represent a specific meaning the next generation modifys the word and the new meaning takes the podium. So how language can transforms through evolution, so can it be lost in translation when attempting to use it in another language which is also part of the reason that what we see as a significant word with a significant meaning is still just a word. As Shakespeare said "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" words are labels to describe something, but without labels that encapsulate meaning we are left with only the true essence which is the real reason to appreciate things as they are because we are so more than just names and labels.

24 HOURS

We all suffer from the same time constraints in a day, it doesn't matter who you are 24 hours is all you get to achieve what you desire. How you choose to spend your time is based on what you favour as the more important priority for that day. Claiming that time restrictions takes away your power to be able to do more so you shouldn't be blamed for your choices because you are forced into particular decisions doesn't justify how you have chosen how to spend your time and with whom. Priorities are choices that are above other options so using the saying "I just didn't have enough time in the day otherwise i would of done that instead of this" is an excuse that doesn't answer why your priorities were what they were. Time passes on and it is up to you to slow down and priorities your life by not falling in the trap of "If I could I would of. Unless you are locked in a cell that restricts your movement and binds your mouth shut you have no real excuse but the sad reality is the only cell you are in is the prison of  your own mind that puts limitations to the way you think  that relys solely on the foundations of your excuses to thrive. 

A BAD TASTE IN THE MOUTH

We all like to think that we are good communicators with every social interaction we have, but how we saw the past conversation go might not reflect how the other person saw it. Whether it's a short conversation with a acquaintance or a deep and meaningful conversation with a close friend we either leave those we converse with, with either a positive impact or a negative impact. Wondering afterwards whether people appreciate your input or not may leave a bad taste in your mouth if it disrupts your version of the truth, this is something you shouldn't need to ask if you are switched on to your social interactions with others. So speak your mind so that others don't assume anything differently from your intended point of view. 

THINK WHAT YOU WANT

We might not share the same opinions as those we interact with on a day to day basis, but is a difference of an opinion enough to shut someone down for their views?. Seeing eye to eye on every topic that is brought up is a tough ask when there are so many factors that influence people's opinions. Whether you disagree with what they are standing up for now, you might find yourself agreeing with the words they are communicating on a different occasion. There is little reason that we should give more power to an opinion than is warranted if we don't agree with it, because by allowing their opinions to sway your emotions into overdrive you have already lost. Anger takes away your sensible state of mind and replaces it with a distraught sense of morality. An opinion only has the potential to offend and will only affect you if you allow it. So be bigger and better than the opinions of others and remember to remain clear headed and at your best where your core is at its most righteous. 

PERSONAL SPACE

Our boundaries are the safe guards we put in place to let people know this is our personal space and it should not be compromised. If someone feels uncomfortable to use their words to say how they feel their body language takes a lead role by highlighting to others what is acceptable and what is considered out of bounds. Paying careful attention to body language is all you need determine whether what you are saying or what you are doing is seen in a positive light or that you are going too far into their comfort zone. We all have limits and our boundaries may vary so if you show one another mutual respect you would respect each other's boundaries. 

CRAMMING MORE IN YOUR DAY

It's easy to think the more you do in a day is better for you than doing less because much more of your daily tasks gets checked off, but your focus should not be on how much tasks you check off but on personal satisfaction. Full days spread with rushed daily tasks hinder the type of expieriences you have with little feeling of satisfaction, whereas doing less daily tasks you'll find that your getting a deeper and more enjoyable experience. We take living a simple life for granted so we think fill it up and do as much as you can in the  time you have left but this is at the sacrifice of rushing what you are already enjoying. Rather than savouring the moment we move on to the next task to check off, living ahead of the curent moment trying to beat the clock and at the same time trying to enjoy life in fast forward which just taints our experiences. 

WHAT ROLE DO YOU HAVE?

We all have our roles to play, whether we like it or not. Our defining personalities place us in categories best suited for our characteristics to flourish. We are all searching for our place in the world and where we remain the longest is our most suited place that compliments our well-being. Some people are social butterflies who need to be surrounded by people others like to be in their own company and prefer jobs that allow them to breathe freely without distractions. Whether you chop and change from interest to interest you need to find a place that is as diverse as you are. The only way you'll find your place in the world is to be honest with what makes you tick and follow the job that keeps you motivated. Wanting to be something that you don't have the skillset for will only lead to failure. So priorities yourself and gain the skills to get what you want or change your interests to what is attainable. A man and woman need to know their limitations otherwise they will fail because their passion will help them persevere but their talent will let them down in the end.

WHOS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BEING A GOOD PERSON?

If religion was removed from your life would you still have good reasons to be a good person? or Is religion the only reason you are just?. Does the fear of the possible consequences of not appeasing your god influence what decisions you make? or Is it the love that resides in your heart that gives you the confidence to follow your God because God is omniscient. In your eyes God is perfect and infallible so it is only logical to show your commitment by following your religious faith and giving your allegiance. Religion is said to help create an ethical framework by helping build values like love, empathy, respect, and harmony which are values that any right minded person would strive for because they will lead you to happiness. These are also values that your family tries to embed in your life because a parents job is to educate their children and make them into good people that will add to a positive world for everyone within it. 

LOOK A DOG WITH A FLUFFY TAIL

Distractions are keeping us from achieving our goals while also hindering us from even beginning our goals. Whether it's our busy lifestyle we lead which leaves us with very little free time or our financial issues that restrict us from chasing our dreams, we are constantly holding ourselves back because in part we are afraid to fail. Lifes unwanted dramas adds another level of difficulty to our progression especially when you try to priorities your life with your long term goals and get hit by a unplanned predicaments which knocks you off your determined course and discourages you to get back on your bike and try again. Living in your comfort zone might be the safest way but it doesn't make it the best way for you because without challenging yourself you could be possibly be missing out on a better future. Fearing losing yourself to failure is already failing because without even giving yourself an opportunity to succeed you've become content with having less. Having this mindset puts you in a place where your confidence is shot and you become your worst enemy. So focus on what you want and write it down so it becomes a real step by step plan to get you what you desire and don't get distracted by the dog with the fluffy tail.

FAMOUS FOR WHAT?

Being famous is being well known by many around the world but there are so many levels of being famous. You may not matter to all but to some you are their idol. So whether its your lifestyle people admire or your fortune people crave what you have achieved is someone else's long term goal. Those who idolise you use your achievements as a reference point that guides them step by step to a pathway that may potentially get them to a reach the gold at the end of the rainbow. So if you are in a position to be famous remember that what your famous for is as important as those people who idolise you. Nobody wants to be famous for being an idiot so be someone that everyone would be proud to share any time with. Whatever type of famous person you are it is the people who are a fan of you that make you famous so be humble and show respect to those people who respect you and your life choices. 

GETTING OLD

When you reach a certain age where others would consider you old, you would hope that you have already reached an optimum state of mind. As ageing means your mind and body start to deteriorate and getting old will only magnify your state of mind which is already struggling with the most basic tasks. If old people were selfish as young adults they then  grow into selfish old grumpy people. Old people have even less time to gain the wisdom to learn to be selfless if its not in them to be compassionate and they're not willing to change. We tend to put old people and babies in a similar category of fragility and innocents because at face value they can both seem harmless and wholesome. Where as babies grow to be who they are with the experiences they face, innocents is carried through until they have been corrupted by misguided influences, where as an old persons fragile state makes him or her look innocent but it doesn't mean that he or she is a decent person. Remember if you keep yourself in a negative mindset you would find yourself affected for the worse because your grumpiness would be increased by a higher level the more time passes on and the ageing effects take affect. 

IS HAPPINESS DECLINING THROUGH GENERATION TO GENERATION?

As a new generation comes along new parents promise themselves that they will be the best parents they can be by giving their child more than they ever had growing up. More of anything feels like the right answer to removing their child's desire to want and replace it with now i have, now im sated. Most people believe  that craving something that you cant have will lead you to resentment for those who possess what you desire and the longer you crave the things that you cant have the quicker you'll reach unhappiness and remain there. Having everything you could possibly crave actually creates the opposite affect because as the new generations arrive their happiness declines with their motivations even though they are born with certain  privileges. When parents give everything  their kids ask for they take away their child's own ability to challenge themselves in obtaining what they want on their own. It is the challenge to the goal that helps motivate you but when the difficulty is removed everything is too easy because you have reached the goal with assistance not with own merit which makes the rewarding experience feel unsatisfying. The issue is parents dont want to see their kids fail and go through the sadness that comes with failure but this is what pushes them to learn from their failures. So we give them no chance to fail but we also take away the chance of trying which will lead to an unhappy unsatisfied upbringing. So give them just enough and not too much otherwise your spoilt kids will be lazy and not appreciative of your intentions.

I SEE NOTHING

We sometimes shut our eyes to the wrongs we witness from the people we respect the most because we don't want to get upset and be let down by those we admire. The admiration we feel creates icons that are flawless so we view them in high regard and hope in the near future that we too could achieve what they already have with determination and hard work. In our mind our heroes are what we want to be and that's why we don't see a flawed hero when they make mistakes because flaws take away the magic that motivates us to reach for the impossible dream. Sometimes, however, living that dream doesn’t turn out quite how you may have imagined it would. Living The Dream' might not be everything it's cracked up to be because we have an amazing imagination that can never be surpassed by real life everyday living. 

WHAT KIND OF LIAR ARE YOU?

Is it okay to lie? Some might say there is no excuse to lie whether you lie for a good reason or bad reason, it's still a lie. To say that there is not a good enough reason for someone to lie you are condemning all liars to the not to be trusted basket. Whether they are a pathological liar or  a tactful liar in your eyes they are all as dishonest as each other and dont deserve your trust which may be a bad judgement call because it should always be about motives. What was their motive and is it a justifiable reason for the lie. Whether you are a pathological liar, intentional liar, a manipulative liar, protective liar, avoidant liar, an impressive liar, lazy liar, or a tactful liar each liar should be treated based on the Intention of that lie. Some people do deserve trust and others should never be trusted it is up to you to decide but don't make a rash decision because you will be judged by your judgements. Then the circumstances will change to were you to judgemental or could of you been more understanding. The cycle will go in circles all because of the miscalculation that you helped propel to the next person.
