Be the goodest you that you can be….

I allowed my daughter to huff and puff and sigh and mumble in frustration,  while I quizzed her on her weekly vocab words.  I did not accommodate her negative outburst however.  “Blah blah blah…..I will never know how to spell these!!”.

I ungracefully snapped, ” Listen!  You think you can’t and you won’t!  You say you can’t and you won’t!  We are what we think and say….the universe gives us what we think and say.  We act how we think and say”!

When we understand this concept, our lives will change positively.  Or negatively, depending on what exactly you are thinking and saying.  When I say that I’ve never been good with grammar and punctuation I damn well know it’s because I’ve never cared to be good or the goodest.

The goodest… What so many people strive to be, and why so many people are unhappy.  I cannot count the number of times (because I’m horrible at math and always will be) today that I either witnessed or participated in “life comparing”.  “Life comparing” is a new term I just made up and one day you will see it in a psychology journal or a Reader’s Digest….or a Teen Beat, and that is just fine with me because I choose not to “life compare” myself to some “world-renowned smarty pants”, I am who I am. 

Just because I am where I am in life right now, doesn’t mean it’s forever.  And the things I want to change and happen…..take time.  Sometimes we set unrealistic expectations, such as time limits, and create unnecessary unhappiness.  Accept and be content while you grow! 

Life is so short…MAKE THE BEST OF IT! ENJOY THE SHIT OUT OF IT!

I can’t spend another minute obsessing over the fact that one of my best friend’s got a piece of crap car, from “little Mexico” (it’s not even in Mexico), with a huge Tinkerbell decal on the back window and that I will probably never get to visit this “little Mexico” because it’s not even in Mexico, so who knows where it is and then I will never get a huge Tinkerbell decal for the back window of my electric blue Dodge Neon.  I have to accept and be content with the drummer decals on my back window.

Today we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.  This inspiring and courageous man is proof that we are what we think and say and that the universe will deliver  what we think and say………..and that change takes time.
