James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  How can you tell someone how to get out of the rain, when you can't even get out of the rain yourself? Some people are always sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, offering assistance for the sake of being nosey. Yet when faced with the exact same problem, knowledge always seem to elude them when matters most.

  Its some things in life that just don't add up, or does it? You've taken calculated risk that's paid great dividends, elevating you to a place in life you never thought you'd be. However, you've taken calculated risk that didn't necessarily resonate with the thoughts to put into those risks. Failure can often times bring balance, revealing knowledge that you otherwise wouldn't have received.

  As the saying goes, "you do better when you know better", don't allow ignorance to be the make up of your character. Yes, some ignorance can't be avoided, but its also ignorance that can be avoided, by simply using the common sense God gave you. Don't allow yourself to become a stupor to stupidity by ignoring common sense. are

  Often times blessings come from someone you least suspect, coming at you in ways you'd never think of. Some of your biggest blessings can come in areas you pay little to no attention to. It can come in the form of an email, a stranger you'll never meet in person, a life changing idea from eavesdropping, or a kid with an IQ much higher than yours. Its a plethora of ways blessings can come showering down on you, but only if you're receptive of receiving those subtle gestures. Otherwise you'll live the rest of your life in darkness, wondering how you missed out on so many life opportunities. Or perhaps you can look at it this way, if it wasn't meant for you to have, it wouldn't have presented itself to you in the first place, opportunities only roll around once.

  Logic reveals to us how things should be despite how we feel it should be, and that's what counts. However, not everybody agrees with logic, nor do they respect it. Perhaps its because some people are mentally twisted, thinking that they can manipulate or rearrange a script that's already been written. Its like trying to coerce scribes into writing distorted scriptures. You can't change what's already been written, nor can you recreate the wheel that's already been spoken for. You must obey logic and know that its not your world to change.

  If you were to ask 10 people to give you the basic criteria for love in a relationship, you would receive 10 different answers. So what does that tell you? It simply means that we all have different views on how we view and want to receive love into our lives. For some, the criteria is very simple and sustainable. And even those are hard to follow for some people. Perhaps if you look at the simplicity of what you're trying to accomplish, companionship can be attained more smoothly. Shorten your checklist of priorities, making it more simplistic and attainable to follow and go from that. If you're using a long checklist you're only pricing yourself off the market.

  If a person has to check off all the boxes in order for you to get involved with them, you'll never find happiness in your life. Why? Because happiness is not defined by checking off all the boxes, its defined by the compatibility you have with that individual. Often times compatibility can come in a plethora of disguises, including physical appearance, financial status, or your willingness to have an open mind. Yes, we have a certain criteria that determines our availability to a person, however, do not allow your criteria's to overtake the value of life itself, otherwise happiness will avoid you at every turn.
