Panic in the Morning, The Missing Coffee

I woke up this weekend like any other day, wondering if I could stay in bed a little longer. But, nope, my body told me that it was time to get up and probably look for a good cup of coffee.

I slowly got up and started walking towards the kitchen, while thinking that maybe next time I could set up the coffee maker in the bedroom so that I could wake up to that awesome smell of coffee.

I made it to the kitchen and realized the coffee maker was not on, which was weird since it’s supposed to auto turn on every day. I shrugged and pressed the ON button, but nothing happened. My pulse quickened at that moment, and I started looking into what happened. Is there power working? Yes, it is. Is the coffee maker plugged in? Yes, it is. Is the coffee maker broken? GASP it is!

A wave of panic hit me, there is no way this is happening. How can I start my day without that wonderful drink that is called coffee? Should I risk it and drive to get one? I might not make it in on piece. What to do? Then I remembered that one time someone gave me instant coffee as a gift! Where is it? I searched and finally found it!

I eagerly open the container to only find out that it’s empty. Why? Then I remember all the times my good friend stopped by and said he only drinks instant coffee, so I used it on him. Yeah, he is not coming here again unless he brings his own coffee next time.

As panic started to grow, I remembered I could order some coffee to be delivered! I must pay a delivery fee, but it will be worth it! I place the order and start to wait.

It has been 25 minutes and 30 seconds and still waiting. Then I hear the doorbell, and I quickly go there. I open the door and see this wonderful person holding that wonderful drink. I get my coffee and close the door, hopefully I said thanks;  I can’t remember.

I sit down and take the fist sip. It’s a wonderful feeling! Everything will be ok now. As I continue to enjoy my coffee, I remember that I need to get a new coffee maker today to avoid the world ending tomorrow. I will do that, but first I will stay here and enjoy this wonderful cup of coffee.

Let Us Trust in the Way

As I am walking down a road of colorful rocks
I look at the sky and see a wonderful sight
Beautiful clouds of wonderful shapes all around,
covering that wonderful blue sky

I can feel a smile on my face, 
And how all my tiredness from the day is melting away
It is wonderful to look at the beauty of nature,
and how it is both simple and complex at the same time

It makes me wonder why we worry so much about things,
it makes me wonder why instead we don’t trust that all will be ok
I can feel that a big smile is still on my face,
I can feel that my stress is starting to melt away

I decide to pick up the pace and to try to forget my stress
Let’s try to keep living with a smile on my face,
Let’s try to move forward with happiness inside of myself
Let’s trust that everything will be ok

Gaming, is there an age for it?

Throughout the years there have been many activities that are believed to be part of a specific age group. Is this true? Or are these just opinions of people who have different ideas from each other?

Why must we limit ourselves to what we can or cannot do just because it should be an activity for a specific age group.

This brings us to the topic, the question of is there an age for gaming? The answer is a simple one. If the individual enjoys the activity and is not causing any problems to other people, or themselves, then then answer is to continue enjoying it.

Not only that, but some of the activities that supposedly are enjoyed by an older generation,  might have started when that generation was young, and as they grew older they brought that activity with them.

Continue doing the activity that brings a smile to your face, enjoyment and possible even a way to relax. Don’t let anyone say that gaming is for kids. Gaming is for everyone as long as it’s enjoyed by that person.

Actions Speak

Do things with courage when finding difficulties
then think of strategies to make it work

Be tenacious in what you believe is good, do it the right way
Be a starter and work hard so victory is yours

When failure arise know that it’s part of the process
there are always opportunities to succeed

Checking how our mindset is thinking, whether negative or positive
The positive gives you more to compel to take action
rather than being negative and inhibit you to do nothing at all
You might regret later

But having a mindset of I can do it
then the innovative mind has willingness to try once again
Maybe that is the day of success

The Mind

Our mind is the battlefield

Putting more positive words in our thoughts compelled us to take positive actions

Our minds need positive thinking and positive feeds.

Have you observed yourself when you think of negative thoughts?

Our facial expressions change as well.

For example, you feed your mind with negative thoughts and facial expressions become either sad or in pouting expressions.

It takes a lot of energy in our body.

So, why waste such energy when we can take it easy?

Don’t you know you can choose to think positively rather than negatively?

Then choose to think positively. Have good thoughts about yourself and people.

Centering our lives in God help us get through the struggles in life.

We have a model in this world. Jesus taught us to live in positive manner.

We are not perfect, but He is perfect.

We can strive to be excellent.

We can focus more on positive thinking in our daily lives.

Look at things in positive ways and you will notice that there is more in life to enjoy.

Rather than not.

Life is so precious to live happily, and it all begin with positive thoughts.

When the minds set in doubt then set into faith

When the mind set into cannot do it then change it to I can.

Choose the best for your mind and the outcome will also be the best.

But it takes a positive thoughts and effort to make it happen.

Words

Words are something that we all use, but many times something that we don’t realize how powerful they are. Our words can create or destroy, make someone smile or cry, be positive or negative. Remember that once something has been said it can never be unsaid. We can apologize all we want, but the words have already been said, they might have created a wound that will heal, but the scar will remain.


Does this mean that we should not use our words? That it’s better to never talk? That is not the case. What we need to do is to use our words with good intentions, be positive in what we day. If we find ourselves on the brink of destroying someone, hurting someone, then take a step back and calm yourself. Find a better way to say it, a way to not destroy bit express yourself.


Is this easy? No, it takes practice and dedication. Find what works for you to improve on this. Di you review afterwards what you said and think how you could have said it better? Do you ask someone for their opinion? Do you write it down and analyze it? You are the one who knows what works better. The important thing is to find a way to improve and better yourself.


Remember that it might not be easy, but it will be worth it. Positive words not only help those around you, but they will also help you to feel happier and better about yourself. Never give up and always move forward.

Fighter

 Find more favors in the Lord
 Seek Him all the time
 In time of hopelessness
 When time is rough and bumpy roads
 Know He makes the path worth passing through
 No one, He says NO so as you make your request known to Him
 Fear not
 
 Faith you keep in your heart
 Wear on your courage
 Be like a soldier
 Fighting for your faith
 God is time

 He changes things His ways
 Only if we put our trust in Him
 He makes things good for our lives
 Have patience for these difficulties will pass
 Rest in Him
 
 He will carry the burdens for you
 Only you carry it with Him
 So, enjoy your life my friend
 While God give you time on earth
 Keep living and just do what is right
 Things will get better as long you keep hoping
 Be faithful…

Always Moving Forward

During these hard times sometimes it becomes hard knowing what to do. We feel overwhelmed with all the information coming at us, coming from the left or coming from the right.


Do we find a corner to hide and cry? No, this is the time to gather our courage, to move forward and not to give up. We must find the inner strength and push forward, overcome any negative thoughts that gather around us. Thinking positive is as important as being positive. You cannot have one if you do not have the other one.


It is ok to remember that we do not have to do everything alone. If we need help, we have reach for our friends and family, the people who are important to us and who can give us the push that we need to be able to move forward.


Always remember that whenever there is a storm there would always come peace afterwards. Always look for the light at the end of the tunnel, always strive to move forward, never stop and look back, never let the past control your future.


Be sure to find the positive even in adversity. It is not easy to do, but by acquiring this skill we will be able to navigate through anything. We will be able to always move forwards.


Never stop moving, always keep moving forward and eventually you will reach your destination. Enjoy your life and become someone who can give happiness to others with your presence
