LOVE RULES

We say our love is unconditional, for those we give our love to. But without conditions we would be left at the mercy of our loved ones. Conditions we put in place to protect how heart from breaking from a love that's not always reciprocated. To love someone who shows you no respect will only lead to your disappointment because your emotions can only justify the means for short time not for a lifetime. Love is connected to your positive feelings you don't need to make excuses for what your not feeling. You just need to know without truth their is no love.

SAME BOAT DIFFERENT DESTINATION

We as a community share many similarities, we work mainly to sustain a certain type of lifestyle. Our mortgage and bills have to be paid on time irrespective of their amounts. We all sometimes indulge in the things that make life more enjoyable when we need a lift. So why do some people believe that they are above others? even though we are all part of a community. Status isn't what you do for a living its the person you are. How do you see yourself and how do other people see you? Do they vary much?

IF ITS NOT BROKEN DONT TRY TO FIX IT

I keep hearing that the kids these days don't show anyone any respect. Maybe if they were hit with wooden kitchen spoons and slapped for talking back they might have a little fear for doing the wrong thing. Maybe if we didn't confuse them by changing the words to bah bah black sheep, or removing the flame off the big boss confectionary and changing the name of fags to fads because some people might get offended they might have a stronger threshold to the tough parts of life, or we could continue to surround them with cotton wool to protect them. But who will protect them when we're not there ?

PACK TO THE RAFTERS

Most of us have the luxury to buy the things we like even if we don't really need them. Whether its a piece of clothing or some form of entertainment we spend our money to add to our collection. No matter how large our collection gets we will always make room for the next shiny thing that catches our eye. The search for something new is only around the corner, but how long it holds our attention all depends on when we start our next endeavour. The choices grow everyday but our attention span changes with it, so what used to be "can i find what i like" has changed to "this should keep me happy for a couple of weeks."

READY OR NOT DOES IT REALLY MATTER ?

Age can sometimes get confused for capabilities. Some people believe that pushing people to perform will help in their growth. Ignoring the individuals capabilities just because the average age group shows that he or she should be ready to advance will only lead to disappointment. Catergorising people by mainly focusing on their similarities will only force an incomplete evaluation that will not show a true indication of what level the individual is ready for. A true assessment of readiness can only be determined if you take in consideration all the stages that they have completed. The mentality ready or not doesn't allow for those who develop at different times and teaches people that we can't wait for you so pick up your pace. Unless we break free from the thrall of a closed mind and judge each case separately we will be left wondering what went wrong. 

A BRAND IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS LATEST RESULTS

A good brand is like a good friend, you can rely on both when your not sure who you should trust because you've usually known them for such a long time and they have remained reliably consistent, which is why you find them hard to falter. Once the relationship has been established we stop questioning their actions because how can something or someone that we have put our faith in for such a long time, let us down. This is one of the reasons we ignore the faults that they have and make allowances for the errors we have to face. Ignoring faults in brands and our friends is only compromising your values because we wouldn't put up with these problems if it was the beginning of a relationship. We should appreciate things for what they are, not for what they could be or what they used to be otherwise the foundations of the relationship will be falsely represented and you are left with a false sense of security.

IM HAPPY DOING THIS, THANKS ANYWAY

Life is made up of many different life experiences, it is up to you to discover what makes up for a full life. Whether your preference is to stay home and be a home body or to go out and see the sites, the power is in your choice to choose. Experiences differ and so do our needs that is why you can only experience regret if you felt that you missed out. Some people are happy with the simple things in life and don't feel they need to go further than their comfort zone. Some may argue that if your not pushing the limits by doing more things with your life than your not living a full life, but who's to say what is right for yourself will make your neighbour happy. Happiness is all about completion of priorities and choices that steer our preferences.
