Transition Period.

Life is full of transitions... one BIG transition, if you really think about it. 
Which I often do. And I am now finding my blog to be a space where I can share my continuation of thoughts that plague my mind daily with people who actually want to know...
hmmm... what is VIBE HOTT thinking today... I don't even mind questions in my comments.
My life is an open book with no judgements, because I feel that people may benefit from my experiences (good and bad) and so they are not mine alone to keep for self. Others fear exposing themselves because without that outter protective layer you can easily be hurt. Well, I am no stranger to pain and it has been issued by those closest to me. So, I suppose my coping mechanisms are a bit heightened and so is my ability to bounce back. 

I try to teach others that the way to live your life is not in fear of what others will do to you, but of what you will do to  yourself. That is what the focus should be. (Notice I say should.) You and only you are in control of you, that means your feelings and emotions. It is a difficult concept to really grasp at times, because from infants we grow up believing that things "make" us cry... but there is a grave difference between infancy and adulthood. What should be taught to children is that you control your emotions, and you choose whether to let something affect you, or whether you create a tactical plan by which to go about solving the actual problem; truly what will sulking do? Exactly, just drag you down further!

So, if you lose $50... do you sit around thinking how bummed you are that you lost that $50 or do you use that energy to find another way to make that $50 back?

The answer to that question is the reason why some people are so successful and some are not!

Think on that... while I go get my money!!!

*SMILE* it's the best feeling!!!
