Dwayne's Word

It looks like it has been a couple of days since I made a post on this blog. Wow how time can fly by. That is not good when you want to keep readers and increase traffic.

Last night I spent a good bit of time chatting instead of blogging. I had all intentions on making a post then. But the chat was just fine, and besides I think I help clear someone's thoughts a little bit.

No matter how you look at things, life is the hardest thing you ever have to do. Sometimes the hard part comes all at once, and for others it may be hard all the way through. But everyone is going to have to struggle at some point. There is no getting away with it. These are the times that you really have to take a look inside of yourself and make yourself move forward. For some it may be something small, for others it may be a loss of a family member, or financial struggles. Whatever it may be, you can over come these obstacles.

I talk to people all the time that worry about things that have happen in the past. There for a year or so, I was the same way. But worrying about the past, is only wasting away the future. You cannot change the past, it is that simple. And when you waste your energy on what happen yesterday, you feel like you have no strength to face tomorrow, but you can change that.
The first thing that you have to do, it to learn to like yourself again.

If you do not like yourself, trust me, no one else will either. And your negativity about you will transfer to others. But if you feel good about who you are, others will feel the same way. It does not matter if you have made mistakes or could have done thing differently. What matters is what you do with today, tomorrow and the rest of your life. Yes, sometimes you are able to make amends for things done in the past. And if at all possible, it is the best things to do. But if you cannot, do not focus on that and let the future be ignored.

Someone once said " It is not whats inside that defines a person, it is what you do with it" And that is up to the individual to do. No one else can define you but yourself. Whether you choose to do so is up to you though. But understand you cannot do it all in one day. When you look up a definition in the dictionary, it starts with one letter. Then you have other letters that follow to make a word. Those words end up making sentences and the sentences complete the definition. And while you are defining yourself in life, you will have mistakes. When you come upon them, do not just stop and not move forward. Do what you can to correct it, and continue on.

There may be words in my definition that some may not understand. But when the sentences are complete and the book is closed; it shall be a masterpiece. And yours can be also.
