It’s hard to settle on something when you wanna experiment with everything. There are all sorts of cool things that are worth trying out and it makes it hard to decide on one thing you like above all else. Clothes, shoes, electronics, makeup, food and so much more are all things that make one curious and adventurous. There does come a time when you need to settle down and stick with something. It is worth it to see what is out there but you can’t do that for very long because the number of your days is growing shorter by the minute.

A Careful Balance
It’s good to have a careful balance of madness and magic in your life. A fellow blogger helped point that out to me today. We all need to be crazy when called upon but we need to make special things happen and to do magic when needed. I am a believer in magic that comes from ordinary things happening to make things better. Without it we are all in a bit of a quandary in life.
Be magic, be mad, be yourself!
Something About Titles
Titles are words but they have meaning and the weight of responsibility behind them. When you have a title it means you have achieved something, you have moved upwards. A title means you have been affirmed by those who have noticed you have worked hard and are doing good things.
Some titles are earned by competition against your peers like in civic life or athletics. People work hard to have the title of champion, best in show, best actor/actress or something that elevates you. One’s self-esteem can be impacted by that sort of thing.
Your resume is boosted by having titles that show you have worked your butt off. I have had titles come and go in my life and there is excitement and achievement when you earn them but when they have been stripped away you feel like you have taken steps back.
Of course titles can be what you call something you created. However that is for another post.
Quote Of The Day
”Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'”
(Matthew 25: 44-46 of The Holy Bible)
Writing When Sleep Is Elusive
I have discovered that when you have to empty your head of it’s thoughts that writing them out is helpful. Last night I had to get something out of my head and off my heart that I couldn’t sleep so I went to my computer and just wrote. After I got my thoughts on screen and pixels it made getting to sleep much easier. They say write your dreams and ideas out when they come to you and I would have to agree with this. A late night writing session is very therapeutic.
Something About People Doing Right
Just because one is famous does not give them license to get away with things that demean or harm others. Powerful people have great opportunity to make life better for those around them but sometimes they act in such a way that discriminates and abuses. All sorts of people have paid the price for not doing the right things when they had the chance. We live in a world where affluence and influence can do great harm to the innocent among us. I ask what is so wrong with behaving like a grown up and being a force for good instead of wanting to get away with murder. If an every day person did some of the things we see in media they would be locked up immediately.
When it’s all said and done it takes everyday people to get the job done of being kind, considerate and encouraging us all to live together in a safe local, national and global community. Each one of us is a role model whether we like it or not. Your role is to do right by others. Granted we will mess up and make mistakes but its through those times when teaching moments are important.
Doing right means doing good and being good.
