Brr It's Cold


It's 21 degrees outside today in the great state of Oklahoma and guess what? I just went for a two-mile walk!

I spent most of my day inside sitting in front of the living room heater, trying to come up with ideas of things I could do since I didn't have to work. Throughout the day, I probably came up with at least ten different activities I could do, but each time, I used the cold weather as an excuse not to.

Finally, after almost six hours going back and forth with myself (I can be horribly indecisive at times) I came across a quote that hit me pretty hard...

"Obstacles don't stop you. Problems don't stop you. Other people don't stop you. The only thing that stops you is YOURSELF."

Although I was disappointed and letdown, I was more inspired and determined to take the bull by the horns.

So I changed into a long sleeve shirt, grabbed my beanie and a pair of gloves, threw on my thickly insulated hoodie and headed out the door. I was not going to let any more of my ideas go to waste!

Tell me, what is your excuse? What hindrance keeps you from living your life?

Don't make the same mistake I did. Bundle up and face your "cold weather" today!

Captive

Picture this... You sit in a locked prison cell, isolated. It's just you; no friends or family reside. You've been here so long, it's basically all you now know. It's home. One day, you hear footsteps walking towards your cell. They pause in front of your prison door. You hear what sounds like a set of keys jingling in their hands. Then a loud click rings through your ears, one that a lock makes as it becomes unlatched. The door swings open. The light from outside starts to engulf every inch of darkness that surrounds you. You cover your face because of your eyes' sensitivity to the brightness. Though you cannot see, you hear a man's voice as he says, "You're free. Go." Several seconds pass in silence. You don't move. Nothing happens. So he asks, "What's wrong? Don't you want to leave? Here's your chance." Although you don't possess much in your cell, you look around at what you do have... A pillow your ...

No Gifts

This holiday season, I want nothing. "Shame on you! Where is your Holiday spirit?" Before judgements pass, let me explain myself a little bit so that you can see where I'm coming from. First of all, I'm not angry. Nobody hurt my feelings. No one has me upset. And despite what some of you out there might think, I'm not trying to be a Scrooge in any way. This isn't my attempt to wage a war on Christmas, even if the media tries to convince our entire country of this so-called attack every single December. Last year it was Starbucks and their holiday cups and the year before that I believe it was Target. Heck, this year media platforms may even try to attack McDonald's because of their ball pit. I mean come on, it is a direct mockery of tree ornaments, am I right? Not wanting gifts doesn't stem from having a lack of money or a case of just me being broke . Thankfully, I still have enough in the bank to purchase new items for each of my family ...

Why Wait?

"One day: 2 of the most dangerous words in the English language." - Joshua F. Millburn You pretend you are invincible. You live as if there's a tomorrow. You procrastinate. You postpone. You take almost every aspect of your life for granted on an daily basis. You lie to yourself using phrases like "someday", "one day" and "later on". Why? Nothing in this life is promised to us. Nothing is permanent. And all three of those terms above represent an illusion of the future that is non-existent. You think time is on your side? You think he's your best friend? Well, I am sorry to break it to you... Time has NO friends. Zero. Zilch. Your past is nothing but memories. Your future is only a dream. Both exist soley in your brain. The present, the here and now, this very moment is all you have. Once you face that reality and fully embrace it, you then come to the realization that every single breath is nothing short of extraordinary...
