Say No to Deadbeats

Welcome back!

Keeping balance in our lives is such an important issue I want to cover as much of it as I can before moving on. Today I was thinking about how the choices we make in our lives are the reason why we’re where we are. If you made mostly good choices then your life has probably went fairly smooth. If, on the other hand, you have had a habit of making poor choices then life most likely hasn’t been so easy. I fall in the second group. I’ve made some of the worst decisions of anyone I know, at least I’ve figured this out and have come to my senses. These days I really think things over before I make decisions.

Naturally, if we don’t realize what the bad choices are we will continue for years to make them. Futhermore, soon as you think things are getting better there will be somebody who comes along and throws a guilt trip on you. Now that I’m somewhat wiser, I avoid them, otherwise they just might get me to act ugly when I’m trying to change the way I handle things. These people are what I call ‘emotional vampires’ they try to suck the life out of you. They’re definitely dream killers. Don’t put up with them no matter who they are.

There is no way we can reach our dream with dream killers having access to our lives. Even if they’re family. In fact, sometimes family members can be the worst ones. The bottom line is we need to get rid of the ones who are against us and hang with the ones who are for us. You become like who you hang out with. I want to hang out with people who are in pursuit of their dream and who I can learn from.

When we make choices whether they be right or wrong, we affect other people. Our goal should be to do the right thing, however, nobody’s perfect and we do make mistakes. If we realize we have hurt someone we need to try to make amends and not burn any bridges. Whenever there’s a dispute, be the bigger person, be apologetic and let it go. If nothing else, just shut up and walk away.

Once you start to make right choices it gets easier each time. Consequently, your life will change for the better and you’ll notice you attract people who have your same interests and goals. Not deadbeats!

If you’ve been visiting my blog you know I like video’s, so here’s one that will take you way back. A song about life and the person singing the song sure did have an interesting one. Old blue eyes. Enjoy…
