PERSPECTIVE THINKING

LIFE IS ONE CONTINUOUS LESSON

HAVE  FAITH  IN  YOURSELF  AND  NEVER  GIVE  UP 

It is funny how things and people EVOLVE.  What we LEARN, and how we learn them.  I can remember, at a very LOW POINT in my life, when my gut would tell me "DON'T DO IT!" but I did not listen.  Instead, I let my CURIOSITY and my ADDICTION get the best of me.  Each and every time without fail I lost "AKA" got tossed into JAIL!  Through many years of trying to break this TERRIBLE pattern of SELF-DESTRUCTION I decided to do the OPPOSITE of everything I had done before.  When I SAY everything, I pretty much mean EVERYTHING.  I had obviously been doing things the WRONG way for many years.  So, CHANGE is what I did!  

I STARTED to have FAITH in GOD and in MYSELF.  If I expected anyone else to TRUST, BELIEVE, or have FAITH in me I needed to be sure that I did first.  I began to trust my INSTINCT and my GUT feelings.  I KNEW that what I HAD been doing had been WRONG all along.  I stepped outside of MYSELF, so to say, and looked at this from another's PERSPECTIVE.  A very WISE choice as quite often we are BLIND to the consequences of our own WORDS and ACTIONS.  We do not REALIZE how they IMPACT someone else and their FEELINGS.  We often cause a lot of PAIN and SUFFERING to other's when we do not even REALIZE it.

BOTTOM LINE, THINK FIRST!  FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A REACTION. TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S PERSPECTIVE. ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF, "HOW WOULD I FEEL IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO ME?"
