CHOICES

Posted on Updated on

Life is difficult, hard & troublingfreedom_of_choice_by_wiciaq at best, but you can live a happy & wonderful life in spite of it all. We all want to live a content, satisfying & richly rewarding life. We all want that job that satisfies and a successful career to go with it. We want to be married to the “perfect” partner. We want to have children we can be proud of. We want to have loyal friends that stick by us faithfully. We want to acquire material things and personal possessions and have all our problems magically disappear. Everybody wishes for a good life. For one person, a good life may consist of having three meals a day and a roof over their head. For others, it may be having a big mansion, fancy cars, designer clothes and lots of money. Whatever your definition is, there is one thing you have in common with many, you want a life free of stress, worry & fear with as little work as possible. You would like to find it without working so hard for it or struggle so much to achieve it. Many of us have high expectations and nobody wants to struggle through life. Unfortunately, that is also what may be stopping you from having the life you seek. The thought of all that work, all that planning, overcoming adversity, hurdles and resistance is enough to make a lot of people give up before they even start. It can all seem too overwhelming and for many it doesn’t seem worth fighting for. You feel drained of all energy before you even begin. Its like i’m running a marathon, before your even get to the starting line, the thought of all that running, just wears you out so much mentally you decide not to go for it … it’s just too hard, to difficult. But once you accept that life is hard, it no longer becomes such a paralyzing issue. Once we realize that life is difficult, once we truly accept & understand this fact, then life no longer seems so hard to overcome. In life you will soon learn, having difficulties getting the things you want is the norm. It is very rare to get anything in life without some degree of effort. Once you accept this, you will feel better about your circumstances. You won’t think of your situation as anything but what is common to every other person. You will think of your situation as a part of life. You will no longer beat yourself up about how bad things are. You will realize that you are only human. That we as human beings are not perfect nor are we expected to be, only God is perfect. You make mistakes & fail just like everybody else. Accepting that life is hard comes with accepting that you have the responsibility to make it better. Not only do you have the responsibility to make it better, you have the ability and the power to make it better. Remember, you always have choices. No matter what the situation you find yourself in, you have choices. No matter how bad things may get, you have choices. No matter what you think you can or cannot do, you have choices. Now it may not always be an easy choice to make. It may be a very difficult road you choose and it may push you out of your comfort zone. It may mean your life might get even harder than it already is by your steps to acceptability, but it still remains a choice. Oftentimes you will find that the choices you make are not as hard as you thought. Once you become open to the idea that you are responsible for your life and that you have choices, you will soon find that you are no longer stuck just because life is not easy … and at that point, life may be hard, but you have the final say. Your life becomes more meaningful, purposeful and self
satisfying. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA

DO NOT BE A DOORMAT!

Posted on Updated on

Life is about making good judgement calls. Be caring, kind and understanding towards others, but don’t let others abuse you or take you for granted. Have an open heart and trust others, but don’t accept being deceived, lied to or cheated on. Be content, fullfilled and satisfied, but never stop trying to improve yourself. There is a doormat1greatness within each and everyone of us, but we all have room for growth & improvement. Remember, we are all a work in progress.

LIFE BEGINS OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Posted on Updated on

Are you leading a “WHAT IF” life? Afraid of this, afraid of that?… leaving your “comfort zone? ” Remember, there are no boundaries nor limitations standing in the way of the dreams, goals and aspirations you seek, but those you have placed before you. Make every moment of your life something to be proud of, accountable and worth living. And although no one can change their past, we can defincomfort zoneitely make a huge difference, start new and rewrite a new ending. But, before that start begins, we must stop the things that are holding you back from a more content, fulfilling and satisfying way of life. … Be whoever you want to be in this lifetime, it doesn’t matter. But stop lying to yourself. Happiness is an invaluable commodity … stop trying to buy it … we have to somehow find it, it may be hidden right around the corner, stop looking for happiness in others. You have to find happiness in yourself first, only then can you share that happiness with someone else, You have to be thankful for who you are and what you have been blessed with. Stop being afraid of trying new things just because you’re afraid of making a mistake and failing. We all make mistakes, that’s how we’re made. But being afraid of making a mistake ends up leaving you adventure-less and fun deprived. Doing something new and making mistakes is much better than doing nothing. People will often look down on you, just to bring you down to their level, but lowering your standards for someone insignificant can’t be the right thing to do ever. You’re a good human being and nobody can ever change that until and unless you choose to. Stop focusing on getting into a relationship. Relationships are a beautiful, wonderful thing with the “right” person, but finding a relationship to get through a bad time in your life is wrong. Get into the “right” relationship when it’s meant to be, not when you want it to be. Stop finding flaws in any new relationship because of a horrible past experience. If you weren’t treated with respect in your previous relationship, the new person in your life is not to be blamed and should not be blamed. So, stop looking for problems in your new relationship because it may turn out to be just the experience you’ve been searching for..Stop missing out on the beauty of small moments. Don’t overlook the beauty of some moments in your life. You’re amazing just the way you are and you need to stop pretending to be someone you’re not. You don’t need to change for people to like you or for that matter, love you. So…be yourself. It’s a competitive world but if you don’t stop competing against anyone and everyone, you’ll have less time to focus on what you are doing. It’s not important who has the bigger home, the fanciest car, the designer clothes and shoes what matters most is how you are as a caring, compassionate and kind person that is growing each and everyday. Stop holding grudges, be forgiving, never be bitter or resentful, it’s a waste of time & effort and serves no one. Be the bigger person – don’t carry around so much hate & anger in your heart, instead forgive the person who has done you wrong because the circumstances nor the person is worth wasting your precious time or feelings on. Move forward and don’t let things from the past ruin the happiness of your present. Jealousy takes you nowhere, so stop being jealous of what others are doing. Being a perfectionist is great but silly most of the times, stop trying to be one. We as human beings are not perfect nor are we expected to be only God is perfect. Acting like everything’s fine won’t make everything fine so stop hiding it, do something about it. You can’t be happy always in life, nobody is. It’s okay to have a bad day but it’s not okay to hide your feelings, cry, grieve if you need to, but take out all the frustration & sadness from your life and wait for good things to come. Take responsibility for your own words & actions, stop blaming others for YOUR problems. Nobody has the power to control your life, only you do. If you go on blaming others for all your troubles, that just means you’re running away from your own responsibilities and that will always keep you one step away from taking charge of your own life because it’s yours and yours alone. Stop doing the same things over & over again.There’s so much to see, do and be apart of. Stop wasting your time explaining to others, just do what feels right for you. Start loving yourself more and stop suppressing your needs. It’s okay to fall in love, in fact it’s the best thing in the world, but losing yourself in the process is not very smart and you won’t ever be able to forgive yourself. You have needs and you may have a passion too – never give those up just because you have other priorities now. It’s good to care for other people but do not forget that you’re special too and nobody can take care of that more than you yourself. Stop sitting idle because an empty mind is the devil’s workshop. Don’t end up sitting idle for too long because you’ll create problems that you didn’t even know existed. Be productive, act efficiently and effectively. You need to stop holding on to your past, it’s over, it’s gone. Don’t be a pessimist, stop being ungrateful in life. Problems come and go but you shine in the dark when you face them head on, so stop running from them. It’s not the easiest path you choose and you are definitely not the only person who’s facing issues in life. But only those people who do not turn their backs to their problems and take up the risk of walking on that path, are the ones who are successful because this is exactly that defines their personality in the future. And therefore, it’s worth the time, effort. We all have made mistakes in life but the smart thing to do is – stop regretting what wrong you did in the past, it’s history now. Stop giving up on opportunities just because you ‘think’ you’re not ready. Stepping out of your comfort zone is difficult but all great opportunities call to do just that. So, be prepared even if you have to really push yourself – push yourself harder and get ready to face great challenges. Stop focussing on things you don’t want, just because you’re scared they’ll happen. Positive thinking is the key to the success you seek.Wake up each morning and imagine wonderful things happening to you and they will happen, trust me. Believe in the path you’re on because you are deserving and worth so much more. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA

ACHIEVING INNER JOY

Posted on Updated on

It’s never too late at any age to realize that it’s the smaller most insignificant things in life that gives us the most pleasure. Being content and satisfied in life, often commeditationes with a price so great … Material possessions don’t always bring us the happiness and inner joy we seek. And when we finally get what we wanted, we often realize it’s not what we actually want or needed. That what we had was not only good enough but strong enough to last a lifetime. It’s the important and more meaningful things in your life, your health and well being and the people that are closest to you that makes all the difference … God, your family, friends and pets, should never go ignored or unappreciated for the happiness they bring you. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi  Beverly Hills, CA

LIVING A FAIRY TALE

Posted on Updated on

Yes, life is complicated but your relationships shouldn’t be. Often times we are misled by our thoughts and fears. We let our loneliness and feafairyr of being alone, make us believe in fairy tales, do things we wouldn’t often do and be with those who don’t and never will be the “right” choice. Oh, we will make excuses and let on that we are happy, content and satisfied, but realize all too often that you’re belonging to this person in a committed relationship has been, will always be and never will be the “correct” choice. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA

You Just Never Know…..

Posted on

Oftentimes, we tend to believe that others in our lives and those we meet must be pretty happy, content and satisfied with their lives. We see them from the outside and unless they confide in us, we don’t really know them, do we? What we fail to realize, is that every one of us with no exception is fighting a battle big or small, we know nothing about. There are many that struggle daily with terminal illness and a great number of health issues, all forms of cancer, depression & bipolar, trying to get through another day fighting alcoholism and drug abuse, putting an end to their smoking, are challenged by their own disabilities and handicaps, dealing with anxiety and stress, fear and worry over the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a death, homelessness, hardship by financial burdens and great responsibility from the care of an elderly parent to the responsibilities of a young child as a single parent. They smile, they are positive and optimistic in spite of it all, rarely giving others an opportunity to see what’s really going on or even a hint that something is wrong. Never look down on anyone, unless you’re willing to lift them up. Be kind to everyone you meet and remember to always have a great respect for those who have every reason to complain and don’t! I salute you! I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA
