If an ideal is right, it’s right. There is no in between.

If choice A is better in every way, but may be harder to achieve, but decision B is easier, although leaves you less satisfied, is it not always “right” to choose A? Even if B is safer and will cause less stress? There’s no grey are there. Yes, it may be hard to say you want to feel less than safe for a while, but isn’t the payoff worth it?

Is it not always right to stand up against abuse? Whether its in the workplace or in public? And if not, when is it ok to stand by and watch another human being wronged?

There are many more examples of what I’m talking about and I go through them in my course “The New Warrior Mindset”. It’s meant to challenge your thinking and stretch your comfort zone. But it will give you a whole new outlook on life.

People you feel this connection with are people who you allow past all of your walls…and for no discernible reason. You just feel safe opening up to them. You feel at ease and maybe better, at peace with them. Just by their mere presence, you feel you can totally and completely relax with them and not fear repercussions. THESE are the people you should spend your time with. These people are the important ones in your life. For THEY are the ones who will not only help you feel grounded, but give you strength and a desire to grow. And, should you ever feel a connection with someone whom you also are drawn to romantically, grab onto and never let go of them! This person is someone you are meant to be with! And you won’t be truly happy or satisfied again without this person by your side. And while that connection will always exist, you may lose them for multiple reasons. Don’t let that happen!

If te two of you feel this inexplicable draw to each other, no matter where you are or what you are doing, don’t let the opportunity pass to be with them. If you do, I guarantee you will regret at least not trying the rest of your life. And like I posed yesterday, we should live our lives without regret. And not taking that chance and giving it your 100% best effort means you’re willing to settle. And you’re worth more than that! Never settle for comfortable and safe if you have a chance at having what you’ve always desired. If it’s brought into your life, then grab hold before its gone! You never know if you’ll get another chance.

When we think back on our lives, I’m sure we all have some sort of regret for the choices we made. As they say, hind sight is always 20/20. Now there are two parts to this, so try to follow me here……

First, making a choice you know isn’t the best, but it’s safe and comfortable. Many times this choice “feels” right at the moment, but not 100% “good”. You make it ands then think, is this the right thing to do. And you won’t know for maybe months or years if it was, because things have to play out. But when you make it, you feel that little bit of regret already, or maybe you think you might miss out on something by making that choice.

the other side is making a choice that scares you, but also feels somewhat “right”. It excites you and makes your blood pump harder, but the fear associated with it is the problem. That fear of failure has the ability to make you shy away from making this choice. And again, you wonder if you’re making the right choice. But things have to play out to see if you were right.

So which choice to make? Play it safe and remain comfortable or take the chance of failure…..but taking that chance also means taking the chance of success! And making the “safe” choice might mean you won’t fail, but will you truly succeed? I mean, if you stay where you are and don’t expand your life, are you truly successful or are you merely settling for comfortable for the sake of not taking the chance of failing?

The way I see it, when confronted with this type of decision, take the chance on failing. Why? Because you’re also taking the chance on succeeding and being better! By choosing the “safe” or “comfortable” option, you ensure not getting hurt or falling down, but you also ensure stagnation. And life is not meant to be stagnant. We are ever growing and evolving beings. Whether we want to or not. our cells are constantly growing and dying, being replaced by new ones that, again, grow, mature and die off. Daily this occurs. And daily, we are confronted with choices. Choices to move forward, expand and grow, or to stagnate and slowly fade into obscurity.

And this is true in all parts of your life. From your personal growth and education to your work/business, to your personal relationships. If they aren’t challenging you to grow and expand your “self, are they REALLY where you want to be? Is it better to be safe but live a life of quiet desperation, or take chances and grow, whether you fail or succeed. Remember, you only fail if you give up trying. Each failure gives us a chance to learn more and do better the next time.

Which do you want? Do you want to be safe but stagnant, or take chances and maybe fail, but also maybe succeed beyond your wildest dreams!!!

I made a post today on Facebook that brought this thought up. It was about a video of a vehicle crashing through a store and injuring multiple people. When you watch the video, you would swear someone must have been killed. But, to my knowledge, no one died. But whether or not they did isn’t important. It’s what the episode brought back to mind for me.

Namely, life is short and SO VERY fragile! It can be changed in literally the blink of an eye! Someone who is important to you can be taken away right before your eyes and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

So what does that have to do with choices? Simple. It’s YOUR choice who you spend your time with. It’s your CHOICE what you say and do for them and how often you let them know what they mean to you. I have always gone by the adage that if you love someone, tell them, and tell them often. You never know when you’ll never see them again, and you’d hate to regret not telling them how you felt the last time you spoke to them.

But it’s also your choice who you spend parts of your life with. spending it with someone you know isn’t right or doesn’t fulfill you in every way or excite both your mind and body as well as your soul keeps you from being all that you could be. It holds you back and draws you down. If the people around you don’t push you to be better or give you a desire to expand your knowledge and learn more and become more, what ARE they doing for you? There’s a saying that I used to have a poster of that says “It’s hard to soar with eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys”. Funny, but so true!

So it’s your choice…..soar with the eagles or surround yourself with turkeys and feel safe and “comfortable”. Spread your wings and push the envelope, or settle for mediocrity.

And I’m sure many of you are probably wondering just what kinds of things I’ll be discussing. Well, here’s just one of the twelve things that I have found are proven to help you lead a more prosperous, happy and abundant life.

Release your anger and animosity! Don’t hang on to hurt, pain or hate. Did someone wrong you or hurt you in the past? If so, have you come to terms with that episode and that person and released that negative energy? Have you TRULY forgiven them for what happened? Especially if they have made a true effort to apologize to you and make amends for their wrong.

But, whether they have or haven’t, it’s up to you to decide how that time in your life affects both you and your relationship with that person. If they’ve apologized and truly made an effort to make amends for it, then forgiving them and putting the episode to rest and moving forward will lead to a more positive relationship. That doesn’t mean you necessarily forget what happened, but don’t continue to hold it over the person. And don’t bring it up again in five or ten years. If you’ve forgiven them and released the hurt and anger, then it should be done.

Holding on to negative emotions and refusing to forgive only continue the negativity and doesn’t allow YOU the ability to live more positively. And in doing so, you miss out on potentially many more good things. Remember, no one is perfect. And although you may have been hurt by someone, you may also have hurt THEM. If they’re trying to apologize and make amends, shouldn’t you do the same? It takes much less energy and allows both of you to move forward and live more happily.

Thank about it.

Respect is a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person or entity.

In regard to relationships, respect is something that must be given by and to both parties. If you truly love someone, you respect them. You respect their feelings, thoughts, desires, hopes, fears, etc. And neither person is more important than the other.

Sure, there are times when one person needs a bit more support or help than other times, and that’s one of the best parts of a healthy relationship. Both parties understand that their own needs or wants may need to be put on the back burner if the other person has a need. No matter what time it may be or what else is going on. That is showing respect for the other person….as well as the relationship.

And sometimes, you have to give up what YOU want for the better of the relationship. Sometimes, you have to put the other person first and allow your own wants or desires to be second. If not, the relationship becomes one sided and dysfunctional. And that’s not a partnership. It’s a relationship where one person is superior and the other subordinate.

Remember, neither person in a healthy relationship is more important than the other. They are equals in the relationship and neither has more control over it then the other. It’s a partnership. Both parties need to have support and feel as though their needs, wants, fears and desires are important to the other person. It’s based on mutual trust, respect and honor. Without these, the relationship is going to suffer consistent problems.

Ever been given a second chance with something or someone? Ever screwed something up and been given another chance at making it right?

Sometimes we are given a chance to set things straight that we truly messed up the first time around. And sometimes, we THINK we’re being given a second chance and we’re really not.

What I mean is this. If you screwed up a relationship and are given a second chance to get it right, make sure the other person isn’t holding what happened before against you still. BOTH sides need to let go of the past and be willing to put it behind them for a second chance to work. If not, then you’re only fighting an uphill battle and jousting with demons and ghosts. Until and unless the past is put behind and let go, there is no way a second chance is truly a chance at setting things straight. It’s only a way to get hurt.
