Just One Thought....

We all know people that have a wealth and breadth of problems to share.  Every interaction is based on a problem that they have.   This isn't always about the problem, but the attention it warrants.

The strongest power we have is what we tell ourselves. How we believe in ourselves. And, What we expect of ourselves.

The only thing, within our control, that we can never get back is time.  Yet without the proper focus it is a wasted priceless asset.

What if we could actually do what gives us energy and strength?  How much would our existence change?  How would the people around us change? 

The majority of our time is focused on things outside of our control, or things we simply do not like to do.  There comes a point where the energy burden to maintain that life is just too much.

We have the power to regain perspective in our life.  We just need a methodology to get there...

We all have the ability to do more than what we are doing.   Although we can see the negativity in our own life, there are others that would consider us blessed.  We can do more!

The only commonality amongst us is the 24 hours we have in every day.  It is critical that we use it effectively....

Since early education we were taught not to fail, it is the worse lesson we ever received....

Success can be defined in ways that aide in our societal status, but can literally leave us empty.  Success is not ubiquitous with peace or happiness.

We all have the responsibility to share our energy, our existence and light with others.   So that, mutually, we shine brighter.

What would it take to remain in gratitude?

Are you ready and able to maximize opportunity?

Teaching a young person how to be a friend is one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone.

What do you REALLY get excited about?   Where is your natural energy? Let's talk about real energy and how we can tap into our natural selves.

Have you ever felt like, "I knew I should have just went." What do we need to do to start trusting ourselves to make the right decisions?  Why can't we just follow our instincts? . #followyourgut #FollowYourInstinct #followme #understanding #knowyourworth #knowyou #loveyoufirst #loveme #loveis #beresponsible #responsibilityiskey #loveyourself #putyourselffirst #beyou #mentalawareness #mentalhealth #trustyourintuition #trustyourinstinct #trustyourgut

We all help someone in some way.  But we need to ensure that we are helping in a way that is beneficial to someone else, while not draining ourselves.

With the pressures of the world it becomes easy for us to adapt.  We adapt to the point that we are almost, no longer ourselves.  But who are we?

How do we reach a point where our feelings can be openly expressed on a continued basis?

Sometimes we have to remain focused on our core energy to realize our highest levels. 

Finding familiarity an unexpected places.

Be careful what you wish for.

We are often so critical of others, when we ourselves are the ones that need the improvement.   What would you do, if The Deed was in front of you?

When a friend is more than a friend, it can really be confusing. 

Relationships have their ups and downs.  But, one thing is for certain, when you move on you realize what you are missing. 

Othello learns something new while living without expectations.   Some things you should still expect even when it's not obvious. 

Othello finally finds the love of his life while in college, unknowing what is it front of him. 

Mary is a young lady raised in the church facing a challenging dilemma. 

Othello goes into early feelings of abandonment.  Not understanding how to love himself, while his father does not love him. 

Othello has a unique opportunity to get to know this one girl he's been dying to spend time with. 

Love Is Spiteful.… Love opens doors into our very being. This opening provides opportunity to truly know someone’s soul, their priorities and what is truly important to them. When we choose not to correctly manage our relationships, it can cause others to behave unexpectedly or even irrational. We have to be respectful of the power of love. Love Is Spiteful

Love Is Painful… There is nothing like betrayal. We have to be mindful of the people that we love and those that we hurt. There is always more than one perspective on every human interaction. We must seek to understand each perspective to reduce our role in the intentional and unintentional pain that we cause. Love Is painful…

Love Is Relentless… Even the perception of love can make people behave inappropriately. We should focus on our love in the right way constantly. We should not take for granted love that we are receiving. Love Is relentless…

Love Is Vengeful…. We each feel love to various degrees. Based on how we love someone, we normally expect that same level of love to be returned. When Love Is not received as it is given, it can create a vicious gap in a person’s psyche.  Remain mindful who you love and who loves you. There is a thin line that separates positive and negative passion. Love Is vengeful…

Love Is Unexpected…. We naturally want love to always go a certain way. We want to believe it is the best thing that can happen. The reality is we are along for the ride. Like anything else in life, when you do not fully appreciate what you have, there is always a risk of losing everything. Love Is unexpected.

Love Is provides a collection of experiences from different perspectives. We all want to believe that love would be different “IF”…. If we did something differently. If we were in a different scenario. If we had one more chance to make it right. Othello provides us all a glimpse into what life could be like, if we made different decisions with love.  Love Is so many different feelings and emotions to different people at different times. Love Is Unexpected. Love Is Vengeful. Love Is Relentless. Love Is Painful. Love Is Spiteful. Love Is Fleeting. Love Is Patient. Love Is Unconditional. Love Is Real. Love Is Confusing. Love Is Rewarding. Love Is Blinding. Love Is Healing. Love Is Peace. - - Sy Bryant
