Look For The Best

Choices


Everything in our lives require a choice.  These choices being with thoughts, which lead to action, and ultimately end up as our reality.

In this spirit, I've chosen to think only positive thoughts.  Something wonderful is going to happen in my life today.

I woke up today after working a 12 hour shift last night.  My thought process was very foggy and also negative.  I was so wired from having to stay up for so long.  My brain was on overload and I hardly slept at all.  Even though sleep deprivation is very common for me, it doesn't warrant a bad attitude.  So I resorted to my gratitude list.

I didn't feel like writing down anything at all in which to be thankful.  It took me a minute to consider the idea that I can be grateful during a low point in my mindset.  IT'S ALL A CHOICE.

Before I knew it there were six items that I appreciated:
  1. Compassion for the elderly
  2. My youth and ability to endure
  3. Having and able body and mind
  4.  Thankful that my grandparents are still alive
  5. Appreciation for my ability to make people laugh
  6. I can talk and relate to anyone
I am proof that anybody can be grateful give the right attitude.  Choose to be amazing & you just might surprise yourself.  You might even inspire others.  Possibility is everywhere; keep searching for your purpose.

Best wishes all

Walk With Me

Perspective Over Opinion


I'd like to take this time out to send kudos out to those who are dealing with physical challenges/mental disorders OR those dealing with loved ones under these circumstances.

I've always been a person who could get along with many groups of people.  Gender, physical capabilities, sexual preferences, political stances, religion choices, etc. have never been able to stop me from being a friend to somebody. Character, class, positive attitude, respect for the human condition, and empathy are much more detrimental to me.

It's hard to be open-minded at times, but it's preferable over losing out on a relationship of any kind because of a difference that doesn't matter in the scheme of life.  Is it really important that a person chooses to dress vintage, consignment, or Valentino?  Better yet, does it matter that a person is gay, straight or somewhere in between?

Modern world or not, people should be accepted whether they have Down Syndrome, bipolar disorder, are paraplegic, or have HIV.  We are all on this planet to co-exist.  Acceptance is key in an already chaotic atmosphere known as Earth.  Sure, it's alright to disagree with a sexual preference.  Does it mean you should avoid a wonderfully giving person because of that preference or pre-disposition?  My opinion is no.

Abstract thinking runs my perspective.  Artistic ability, visual stimuli, multi-tasking, and a free spirited attitude control my every ounce of being.  I choose to be accepting and appreciate character over a person's personal preference or disability.  

Love one another and choose character.

Best,

Tyrus
