Give & Take

What are you in it for?

What are you hoping to give and/or gain to/from your relationships?

If you're only in it for what you "get", at some point your significant other will "wise up" and cut you loose and let you be.

What are you really giving or offering to give?

Work Your Appreciation...

May Our Day Of Thanks And Appreciation Move/Lead Us To Live Lives That Demonstrate Our Appreciation In Ways That Make Better The Lives Of Those With Whom We Have To Do.

The Inverse Of The Law Of Return...

An unfulfilled life is a life that gives nothing in return for the gift of its existence.

Who's In...

People invite you into their life based on who they are, not based on who you are. Actually, they don't know who you are and may never know who you are. Getting to know someone takes patience, time, and understanding. Getting to know yourself takes patience, time, and understanding.

Do you know who you are? Do you know why you have invited the people who are in your life, into your life?

Remember, the people in your life are more of a reflection of who you are than who they are.

Decisions... Decisions...

The best thing you can do for your son is to teach him to make a "good" (wise) decision. Part of doing this is making the choice and sticking with it, seeing it through to completion/fruition.

The worst thing you can do to a man (one of the worst things you can do to a man is to decide for him, without consulting him. You run the risk of losing whatever connection, real or imagined, that you have with him.

I haven't posted in quite some time... Not that my life has been uneventful...
Perhaps one day, I will learn to process the goings on in my life a little faster.

Anyone who knows me intimately, as it pertains to the creative side of music, knows that I have long been a fan of both Sting and Stevie Wonder... Especially as both tend to write some of the most interesting music, both lyrically and melodically.

And while this song has proven to be one of the most thematically, in terms of lyrics...
It remains one of my favorites.

Stevie does this song no small justice.
