My first piece of advice would be to turn OFF the excessive voices coming at you, and listen to the ONE inside yourself.
​
A solution to (business & personal) relationships is to drop the perfection requirement. In fact, place the value on what the differences can build together. Respect is earned, even more when things fail. So rinse & repeat.
​
Perfection is an illusion. Real happiness comes with contentment. That's not to say we should settle, but rather to find middle ground. Do not huff & puff, blowing your own house down, trying to be successful. Respect and your legacy comes with simple daily improvements.
​
The challenge to Brag; reflect and type out your personal story... or someone else will. What is important in your life? Accomplishments, failures, jobs, education, health conditions, hobbies, volunteer activities, heritage, collections, opinions. Make your Brag Book.
​
For each person there are different limitations (of mind & body). You do not owe anyone an explanation for your answers. YES, NO, or the best response is a silent poker face. Knowledge is power, yet wisdom brings strength in your timing of said execution. Go with your gut !
​
Who is at your Motivation Station? To whom do you trust to find solutions to various issues in life? It takes a TEAM to raise up those broken by careless situations. From friends to professionals. From volunteers to special interest groups.
​
The most horrid thing I have heard a person say is that they will not do a thing, unless they are PAID to do so. Can you imagine such a world? Yet those in their final months of life, will GIVE of their time and money to their last breath.
​
"I have a dream". That NOISE POLLUTION is not about volume, rather about content. Cruel things are often said in low tones. May the world be ever loud, with unified & beautiful sounds.
​
Routine is vital to maintaining a healthy balance in our lives. Take time each week, to schedule your days out. Time each day to refresh your body, mind, and soul. You cannot roam safely on an empty tank - in any area of your life. Respect your own time, it is valuable!
​
Real "welfare reform" comes when conditions of modern science can meet with the kindness of men. Our brains and hearts do indeed work together for solutions. Because of differences, all economics are based on human rights & needs, building results that drive and marvel us.

​
Embracing your inner MOTIVATIONAL ALCHEMIST is a cycle in life. Factors depend much on situations, health, stress, trauma, etc. Starting at basic PHYSICAL needs/actions, to processing the METAPHYSICAL subconscious/emotions, which drives our physical choices. Rinse & repeat.
​
Carry on. We belong!
​
With disabilities, it requires us to study smarter; criticized for those alternate routes we take - getting to the same destination others do. Reading the latest material is vital to survive. Libraries are the top resource spots for medical & technical.
​
Ideally understanding shortcomings of the handicapped, & family/friends would come in to help. Respectful & patient relationships did not form. Ending up on their own, due to the contention which should have been teamwork at those trial points.
​
Comedians: These are the people who help us laugh through our hardships. They help us look past the boundaries, of size or color, religion or politics, income or disability - to hust sit back and laugh at our human selves.
​
How does the government view us? (verses) How do WE THE PEOPLE view ourselves? Like a classic car, a liability, being towed around by someone? OR do we have a drive, a real beauty, that fuels others towards a remodel?
​
Highlight your interests daily: invest in that sport you enjoy, set up that work-space for your hobby, recycle, make that fruit smoothie you crave, plant that garden to feed your soul. Share your interests. Fueling yourself, activates the earth.
​
Hello workaholic! Cut yourself some slack. Make sure people respect your BOUNDARIES. Take a time-out to PRIORITIZE you. Show some pride & pencil in your NEEDS. (Note: when someone insults another, it is generally regarding their own insecurities.)
​
Can you block any (verbal or physical) counter? At times you might become too weak to defend yourself. While under the care of a toxic temperament whom you cannot avoid conflict, asking for help may need to wait. Speak up for dignity, to a trusted source.
​
**********
​
Are people aware you are human ? Do you know you are NOT a doormat? You cannot fix problems for other people, if you are drowning in troubles. Help comes to your aid, if you reach out. Non-profits have volunteers who actually care, and resources donated.
​
What is REAL discrimination of the disabled? Social exclusion from activities. Being treated as a hot potato, yo-yo, place-mat, living out of a suitcase/car is unhealthy for the body/mind. Not belonging or having flexibility at work; equal is unreasonable.
​
What do you enjoy volunteering for? Festivals for the arts/dancing/music/drama. Camping/hiking/survival, literacy programs, history/genealogy, cooking/sewing/knitting. Awareness for medical/education/safety. Sports/coaching.
​
Investing in your passions, builds possibilities for the future. What are your interests? Antiques/art, classic autos/music, nutrition/vitamins/food storage, organizing/recycling, remodeling/painting, photography/journals/scrapbooking, reading/books.
​
Developmental activities which are vital for Youth; "Lenience Show & Tell" on etiquette with handicap people at school/work/home. Exceptional social manners for various locations. Independent education via library or college. Public safety and charity.
​
People see what they want to see. Worse yet, they will say what they want to say. None of that is your business!
What is your business? What you SEE, what you SAY, and most importantly - what you CREATE. Leave your mark.
​
​
People handle the news of their upcoming demise very differently. One relative decided to label/date, copy/distribute all old photographs, to living descendants. Sickly with cancer treatments, my grandmother sewed me the most beautiful prom dress I ever saw.
​
Have you ever kept a FOOD Journal? Otherwise known as a MOOD Journal, for you are what you eat. A balanced diet is your critical SOUL FOOD. Hello Smoothie !
