It Was Bound To Happen

Sometimes we can see a outcome coming from miles away.

Two examples bring to mind, one being behavior the other procrastination.

In the case of behavior, think of the wise guy who keeps pranking people with tricks and practical jokes.

As the deeds unfold in your mind you think one day...

usually that day arrives.

The prankster likes to use water as his partner.

Water balloons, hoses if it's available at the right time game on.

One day he's all dressed up for a night on the town.

Suddenly, he finds himself participating in a video bucket challenge!

getting a taste of his own medicine.

In the case of procrastination, you're shopping around for that

Guitar you want you see it at a reasonable price but the shopping continues.

Even your best friend urges you to buy.

The seller contacts you for the sale, still slow to react.

Finally when the call is made

Sold, to a motivated buyer.

Anyone could see, it was bound to happen!

Mini-Post:One Step At A Time/Having Second Thoughts

 One Step At A Time

Sometimes we falter and have a setback.  It can take some time to recover. Remember its very much mind over matter.  The time wasted struggling inside may be shortened by one simple adage, "one step at a time". When we run instead of walking the quickness overshadows the necessary and deliberate steps available that leads us to the best solution.

Having Second Thoughts

Often times our initial response to any situation may seem very disagreeable.  When issues take us out of our comfort zone, we can be perceived as being insensitive. At that moment, it just  may be the case.  Ultimately, we are capable of taking a minute to re-evaluate how we reacted and make a thoughtful change to our response. In emotional circumstances it would be prudent to think twice before any sentiment is offered.

Money Doesn't Grow On Trees

Ah, growing up those youthful days when parents offered sound life advice, with endearing quotes- "There's only the right way to do things", "You have to attend college, to get a good job", last but not least, "Money doesn't grow on trees". All three still resonate today and to a large extent, suggest valuable lessons. Being at home we're out running around without a care in the world. Friends, family, sports, school and a part-time job was the blue print. Parents would foot the bill for everything, clothing, shoes, allowances, phone all covered we really didn't realize the weight of it all. Well, as we got older and started taking on some responsibilities, we began to feel and see that part-time take home pay dwindling away fast. Then after finishing our schooling, the big event comes along, moving out to our first apartment with ALL, the expenses that comes along with it. As we budgeted our monies and understanding the impact, that famous motto is remembered with a smile and nod, they were right, money doesn't grow on trees...

Enjoy It While You Can

 During our lifetime certain moments or circumstances come our way, that needs to be fully appreciated.  As a young adult, we almost inwardly take these events with a grain of salt, because we feel there's a lot of life ahead of us- next!  Whether young or old, acquiring that first car means more than just a ride, it's the experiences on wheels that brought you to many memorable places.  That automobile by itself, leaves a personal signature in your mind, that can never be replaced.  The family vacations to a distant location that had all the elements of fun in the sun, with loved family members.  It's true it was enjoyed at the time, but the value it has on both the past and present are the chronicles that makes up a life story.  Looking back and thinking forward, it seems best to be aware of time and place and always, enjoy it while you can...

Popular Re-Post- Its A New York Thing

  It's A New York Thing

You’ll see and feel the hustle and bustle immediately.  Some take it as indifference towards other people. It’s just a lifestyle displaying the fundamentals of living in the big city. There’s so much to offer and so much to do. It takes a certain temperament to make the most of the day. Are they cold, no. Sometimes arrogant, maybe. One thing I can tell anyone is that if you are in need of help in New York City just ask, help will come your way. I can attest to that. My city gets a bad rap. Don’t be mistaken, it can have a bad day for sure. But when the chips are down, I’ll count on a nitty gritty New Yorker anytime. Especially in a moment of urgency.

                        It’s just a New York thing...

Believe It Or Not

Sometimes we come across a conversation that seems to good to be true.  You want it to be real but, there seems to be some storytelling going on.  We all like a good story however, if its presented with a potentially impactful outcome, chances are you will walk away puzzled.  If for instance, you were told a friend of a friend played scratch off lottery at the same dealer, and won almost every time; well... If you were explained that an English teacher, knew every word definition on challenge from the dictionary, I think I would have to be there and witness the performance.  I'm sure there's many other folk tales being spun on a daily basis.  Unless you are present to see the story, all you can do is speculate and either believe it, or not.

Follow The Instructions

How many times have we purchased an item that needs assembly? I'm certain more than we care to admit. As we happily open the box and size up the situation, it quickly goes from, I got this, to...oh, no!  First, the instructions are on numerous pages as well as in three different languages. Getting past that, we check ourselves to follow the numbered steps, one hundred percent.  No winging it although, it was a major temptation to avoid it. As we move quickly to steps 1,2,3 suddenly, we are presented with assembly challenges that stop the momentum.  Parts that don't match up, brackets that seem the wrong size, nuts, bolts and washers that look to be endless. At that point you carry on, trial and error at its best holding steady to the instructions. The end result looks pretty good but, there's a couple parts left over that has nowhere to go.  You are genuinely pleased but scratching your head, and thinking to yourself...but, I followed the instructions.
