Hi guys and Gals

I am now 67 and I want to tell you that in this life things can be good and thing can be bad but what you have to learn to do is "Accept things the way they are"

Now this means that you not have to leave things like they are - no way!

You and you alone has the power to change these things to become the way that you want them to be - right

Let me start by giving you an example OK

John has worked all his life for a company and have a great company car and many other things that he was able to give his wife.

Well the company went bankrupt and John no longer had a car and all the goodies that came with it

John now had to try and find another position but had to travel by bus into town every day and even in rain and snow it was his only way!

Now did John get pissxx off and refuse too keep doing this for a year NO John accepted the way things were and actually learned to enjoy the beauty of public transport.

One day a man sat down next to John on the bus and they started chatting and after the hour bus ride John had been given a telephone number which led to an interview and now John is vice president of a large company

For this to happen took TIME

For this to happen took NOT GIVING UP

For this to happen took SELF BELIEF

For this to happen to ???????

So first you have to accept things the way they are and then you have to decide what to do to make the change for things to become the way that you prefer them to be.

You are the only one who can do this!

It took me a long time to realize I needed to accept things the way they are, that it is what it is and everything is temporary.

It's up to us to make the changes and move on...

Thanks for your input Patsy

Hi Paul, we must accept the hand of cards we have been dealt with. Irv.

Yes but unfortunately some just are not able!

Thanks for sharing, Paul.

My pleasure

Great post. You and you alone are responsible for your life and how you choose to live it. I am 69 and I think as you grow older you have a better look in the rear view mirror. There is the good, bad and the ugly as you go through this thing called life. You decide how you want to look back and more importantly how you want to face the future. Stay positive, take each day one at a time and enjoy the ride. You sure can change things to be what you want.

Great input and thank you very much

So true... Thank you Paul!

You are very welcome

Good advice Paul. Keep us on track!

Just doing my best my friend

So true!, We are ultimate in control of whre we are going, and how we get there. Part of that journey is dealing with situations that happen to us, and then deciding what to do to change our situation for the better.
Great post - Thanks -

Thank you for your words

Awesome! :)

Just goes to show that opportunity is everywhere, even places we don't expect.

Thanks for sharing this Paul.

Yes you just never know@!

My philosophy precisely, "there's always another possibility!"

Yes- and as we say RIGHT ON!

Excellent post. That is a very tough thing for most people to do, but it's the only way. We have to accept the things we cannot control first before we can go about making the change.

That is what defines us.

LOVE your input my friend and thank you

Always a pleasure!

NICE!!!
