Does this describe your situation?

Have you ever asked yourself why you act as you do?
Does it feel as if you want so much yet you don’t know how to reach for it?

Many of us feel or have felt this way at some point in our lives. It could be for many reasons; childhood, work experience, bad grades, abusive relationships. Whatever the reason; many of us have been in the same boat watching others live the life we want for ourselves. How do we get past this? How do we reclaim our lives and begin to live?

We must:

· Understand what is holding us back.
· Confront the issues (our demons) that keep us from moving forward.
· Identify what we want in life.
· Make a decision to pursue our dreams no matter what challenges we face.

We can’t move forward if we don’t know and understand where we are in life.
If you feel this describes your situation; you have some homework to do.

Surround yourself by the right people

Surround yourself with great people, those that want to see you do well in life. Surround yourself with people that motivate you, push you beyond your limits. Surround yourself with people that accept you and promote you in life.

There is a lot of negativity in the world yet there is no reason to allow ourselves to be absorbed by it.

WHY???????????

It’s funny how kids can annoy us with one simple question, “why”?

 They force us to keep looking for an answer that will satisfy their curiosity. We run out of reasons and patience, and we end up saying something like, “Just because”. As annoying as the “why?” question can be, I invite you to annoy yourself. I want you to pick out something that either: Bothers you · You can’t have Identify what that is and begin to analyze the “why?”. Every time you come up with an answer, question it with another “why?”. Keep doing this until you find the route cause to why it bothers you or why you think you can’t have it. Thing don’t just happen, there is a reason to it and sometimes that reason is not clear; It’s hidden. Until we face the issues, until we acknowledge them and understand them ; we can’t move forward. Get clear…..Get to know the “why?”

My hubby and Computers

This is my husband using his computer
"Hon, how do you use this thing again?"

Support those you love NO MATTER WHAT

My husband was doing really good yesterday after his surgery, he walked and stood up using his own strength.

However as the day progressed he began to feel a lot of pain and was in tears of how bad it was. The RN , nurses and Pain Management came to see him.  His pain was a result of two things:
1-      Machine that releases pain medicine was not working (OUCH)
2-      Gas
The nurse was trying to get my husband to get up to relieve his gas pain.  She was trying, he was mean.
She would speak to him, he would get rude,  my husband was in serious pain.   She says, “Sir, I have seen this before, you will not get up due to the pain and it will get more painful”.  I interrupt………and I say to my husband in Spanish, “ You are going to get up now….your pain is gas and you need to beat it, grab on to me and we will get you up,  Do you trust me?”  In tears he says, “Yes”.  He got up.    The nurse sees me give him support and asks me, “Are you a trained nurse?”  I respond, “nope just a wife”.
She says, well I don’t know what you said, and you have technique, so if I need help, you are my girl”. 
I want to share this with you….not because I did a great thing, instead because WE “spouse, partner”; we offer great support to our loved ones.  There are times one of us will not know how to move forward or how to hold on and that is when we need to become each other’s

Support System.   There is no greater love than to be there for the other NO MATTER WHAT. 
Sometimes that means being tough, being the strong one while the other i
s weak.   
Remember: There is strength in numbers and together you are invincible
