Dawn of a New Day: Embracing Life's Precious Moments

Every day that you open your eyes is a new opportunity. Not everyone gets that chance. Although not one person will see every sunrise or every sunset, the sunrises and sunsets of your lifetime are a gift. So, what will you do with the ones that you will see during your existence?  

About three years ago, one of my children succumbed to catatonia and has not been the same since. Having once overheard a staff member at a facility where he was being treated say that he did not have to take medicine if he did not want to, he, from then forward, refused to be medicated. His mind slipped further away and into an alleged schizophrenic cloud. Being of age to make one of the biggest decisions of his life without having clarity of mind to properly do so, he has become a danger to himself and, by default, a threat to society: this is a double threat that a man of color cannot afford to embody. 

 

Every now and then, he is able to carry a sensible conversation. Yet, as a being who is ensnared within his unstable mental capacity, he does not have quality of life. For whomever this must be written, because this counts for someone, do not squander away your time on earth. Your days, indeed, are numbered.

 

Disregard the Doubters: Focus on You!

Have you ever been thrown off by someone's disdain for you? There will always be naysayers. It is best to learn how to move around them, disregarding the negative vibes that they exude. 

Every now and then, signals are mixed or they get crossed. You may have even misunderstood something or they misunderstood something about you. If this is not someone who is approachable, then continue to focus on yourself. If you can have a cordial conversation with this person to make sure there is not a misunderstanding, that may be best if it would give you peace through resolution. 

When you focus on your success, you think less of them and more about your endeavors. Avoid wasting time considering what they think of you. It does not matter as long as you continue to move forward to accomplish your goals. Life comes one day at a time. Do not fill it with things that ruffle your feathers. Replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts and dedicate your time to something constructive that makes you happy.

 So, you set out to accomplish something and, surprising to you, you missed the mark and did not accomplish your goal. Instead of wallowing in defeat, configure a game plan. Strategize your next attempt. Surely, you were not going to give up!

Plan anything that is significant. The way to know what is significant to you is to imagine something going wrong with the plan. If it will bother you, that particular plan is meaningful. Do what you can to prevent things from going awry. You do not have control over everything but you can control the things that can be planned and considered. When making plans, leave room for error or, at least, leave room for a possible change in plans. There are things over which you have no control. For example, anytime someone else is involved, anything can happen. You can only control yourself. This is where patience and persistence are key. Working with others can be unpredictable. When it is necessary to form alliances, do so thoughtfully. This way, all parties involved can accomplish intended goals and are more likely to have a positive experience during the process.

The best thing you could do for yourself is strategize. Take the time to consider potential pitfalls that could hinder you from accomplishing your goal or retard the process. Allow unexpected occurrences to make you press harder to accomplish your goal. If things do not go your way in any situation, continue to focus on the goal and remember that mishaps are part of the journey. The key to overcoming is having a good attitude no matter what happens.
