Flexibility gives you options. The more ways you can move, the more you can do. Flexibility is sometimes a choice, other times it is a habit, and most often is just disguised as work and preparation. 

Work is the reward. 

Your work, you working is the reward.

Many solutions don’t solve the real problem, but they do make things look better at first. 

Many solutions don’t solve the real problem, but they do add new layers of complexity. 

If you want your solution to solve the real problem, first understand the problem.

Most of the time, the solution is prescribed before proper diagnosis. 

Study first, act after. 

Don’t solve the wrong problem.

The wrong problem is the one that doesn’t need to be solved. 

Good times become better when the focus is lifted up… 

Good times become better when you are not looking inside of yourself… 

Good times become better with gratitude. 

Some people help no matter what, others help when they can. 

Emotions are instant. Feelings are how we choose to think and process our emotions and the circumstances that we perceive. 

Shame is a feeling. Shame is not an emotion. 

Shame is a feeling of humiliation or distress caused by awareness of wrong behavior. No one can make you feel shame because no one can choose your feelings for you. 

Doing the things we don’t want to, consistently is what creates greatness. We don’t want to do things often because we are afraid of the pain, the grief, the sorrow, the disappointment, or even the work.

Yet, the act of doing is courage. 

Courage is doing no matter the fear grief or pain. 

Happy Birthday Cobi! Proud of your courage. 

Sometimes, we need others. 
Actually, we always need others. 

If we need others, they need us too. 

As we focus on the needs of others, our own needs get met. 

What we remember, is what we experience. If we don’t remember it, then the experience didn’t take hold, so in effect, we didn’t experience it. That is why personal experience is so reliant on personal reflection. We need to ponder the events of our lives and the feelings we have daily, in order to create lasting memories.
