James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  Always remember, that same degree of tolerance you've had to exhibit towards certain people in life, is the exact same degree of tolerance someone else has had to exhibit towards you. Stop walking through life believing that your personality is acceptable to all that know you, because it isn't. You are just as flawed as those that openly display flawed character , only your not willing to allow anyone to see it.

  It's funny how time has a way of effecting us in more ways than we're willing to openly admit. You sit, think, dwell, reminisce and often times wonder where did all those years go? Internally you live with unshared regret you've marinated on for years, wishing you could have done things differently. It's those thoughts you've lived in darkness, sleepless nights and even crying yourself to sleep, wishing you could do it all over again.

  Upon correcting a person, you do not have to insult them during the process. It's a thin line between constructive criticism and insults, they are almost joined at the hip pending on the person delivering the message. It can be something as simple as voice tone, facial expression, attitude, vocabulary, and your choice of timing upon delivering the message. Exercising constructive criticism often times requires a soft touch , meaning some situations do not require instant correction. It may require waiting a few hours, or even the next day in order to make your point without being taken out of context. Telling them you love them can also soften the blow.

  It's the small things in life that mean the most, yet it is somehow overshadowed by the big things that command your undivided attention . Clear your brain of the debris that clutters your thought process , and you'll discover those small things that have been sitting in plain view the entire time. Do not allow the big things to be a distraction to the point it redirects your mission in life .

  Do people know the real you? Or do they know the person you want them to know, big difference? Most people probably know your degree of generosity, the loving, caring and smart person you display for all to see. What about that other person that's kept hidden away in the closet? You know that person, the one that's in plain site but nobody notices. The person that can't seem to hold down a relationship, or has never been married for reasons only you know, THAT person.

  If you are incapable of unveiling information conducive to improving ones quality of life , your purpose in life becomes a almost a moot point . Sometimes it can be misconstrued as being an enigma of some sort, pending on that person's interpretation on life. Do not allow yourself to become a parasite on life, relying solely on the wisdom of others, because in doing so your knowledge on life will be that of ignorance .

  It's been said that if a man disrespects his own mother he will disrespect any woman he comes across. Let's flip that to the other side. If a woman disrespects her own father she will definitely disrespect any man she comes across. It's a very dangerous and lethal road to travel if you ever get involved with anyone that match those characteristics. But the sad part about it, is that in many cases those basic fundamentals discovered until it's to late and the damage has already been done.

If you support something you know is immorally wrong, do not be offended when your beliefs aren't supported. Often times many people will stand behind wrong in the face of right, and that's wrong.
