James W. Inspirational Thoughts

 Have you ever sat back and ask yourself, "are the friends you proclaim to be friends, truly your friend"? Many people are quick to embrace people they can benefit from, whether that be family or friends. However, if you truly want to know exactly where you stand with a person, (hold a mirror to them and observe the responses). You'll be surprised. And oh by the way, upon holding up that mirror, don't get so beside yourself that the same exact mirror can't be rotated around towards you to see your response. Sometimes in life you have to test the waters just to see where you stand on the totem pole with people you hold in high regards.  

 If someone tells you something that you already know, do not remind them by referencing " I know" to them, that's arrogant. Exercising humility can be very difficult, even during the most simplistic of moments. Attentative listening can take you a long way in life.

 Whatever it is your looking for in life is looking for you, and everthing you ever wanted to be is sitting in front of you. Truth and honesty has taken a back seat to lies and deception. People cringe over the truth because they've denied the person they see in the mirror. That being the case, what is your purpose in life? Because without a purpose you have nothing. 

 Did you know that not everybody has good communication skills? Just because you can put together a complete sentence with a sound mind, it doesn't automatically qualify you as a skilled communicator regardless of your place in life. So if your one of those individuals that's skilled with communicating with people, do not become alarmed with those that do not possess that same gift. Some people have it, some people don't, it's just one of those things. 

 Ignorance can be very difficult to ignore when it's unprovokedly forced upon you. However, it can be done by simply walking away in silence. Nobody can force you into something you opt not to engage in.

 If the answer is always no, how can you enjoy life? What is the alternative and is it worth it? It comes a time in life when you have to ask yourself, how did you get to that point of using rejection as your sole foundation to life? Your probably saying to yourself, you know what the other side looks like based on previous experiences. Problem is, you can't use previous experiences as the foundation of the future, because every situation is different.
