Living With Secrets

A Paradox

Looking within,
Living without...
My thought life
is alive
with imagery,
fantasy,
the should ofs
and could ofs
of life.
Temptation
resides.
I put it aside.
Think no evil.
See no evil.
Do no evil.
Free will is
a God-given right.
I can choose
what I do
and when I do it
and who I do it with.
What will I choose
to do?
A privilege
with consequences.
What will I do?

Our life is of our own making.  You can choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing.  Every decision we make matters.  Each decision will cause a domino effect.  You can choose wisely or you can live with regret.  You are the master of your own fate.  Choose wisely.

Fernando Pessoa

The Book of Disquiet

This is a book about boredom.  It can be read in pieces and parts.  Evidently this poet had a very unique style of writing making the use of heteronyms:  Kind of like see and sea or main and mane.  Interesting!  Learn something new everyday.

Why Smart Executives Fail

Some people learn by example and study successful people and some people learn by others mistakes so you learn what not to do.  Sometimes learning by trial and error can be a good thing and if you bypass it altogether because someone already learned that mistake then all the better.

Real Love

Love is...

Love is
unselfish.
Love is
wanting
what's best
for someone else.
Love is watching
over your children.
Love is watching
over your spouse.
Love is caring
more about
the other person
rather than yourself.
Love is to hurt
rather than
to see those
you love hurt.
Love is kind.
Love just is.

I'm a people watcher like writers tend to be and sometimes I'm amazed at how some people truly don't know how precious love is with who they are already with.

I see a woman who has the security of a loving husband but all she does is talk about another guy all the time.  She keeps inviting this guy to do things with her and her husband.  What is foolish?  To risk the love of a husband and child for mere attention from another guy.  And why would a guy who is married to someone else indulge her this way?  God have mercy on their souls because if they follow through on their attraction they will surely bring the wrath of God upon them.  Adultery is a cardinal sin. I have heard that it is common for married people to develop crushes on other people but what is wise and what is foolish?  The wise thing to do is to flee temptation, not indulge in it.

Do Si Do

Bow to your partner.
Grab an arm.  Shake a leg.  Hey!
Country music dance.

So my resolution this year is to find new things to do that are somewhat out of the ordinary.  So I invited some friends to a country hoedown.  We had pizza and lots of goodies.  One of my friends even won a raffle prize.  The rest of the night was spent laughing and dancing.  Hee Haw!
