Welcome Into the Mind of a Serial Spiritual Thinker ;)

Sacrifice what does that mean to you? It is apparent that sacrifice means many things to many people but ask yourself what does it mean to you. To me sacrificing means to go without while the people that I love reap the benefits and that often times leaves me last which is not a bother because it makes me feel good to see my loved ones happy. Sacrifice to me means to give up something or somethings to help another person. The general definition of the word sacrifice is the loss or something that you give up for the sake of a better cause. As I ponder on life and situations in life I often think about sacrifice and how much is too much? I feel everyone should really ask themselves that question because I know so many people who are drained by sacrifice or they feel unappreciated due to sacrifice and to feel less than their best for sacrificing to help others and that is an awful feeling that nobody should experience.  The question is should you weigh your options on what you d...

Determination is needed to get through the toughest of times especially when you have lost hope or have no energy to move forward it is essential to always remember to pull out your extra determination to take those necessary steps and reach your goals. Sometimes or shall I say often times life will throw you curve balls and once this happens you must have the strength from within to pull yourself out of the ditch sort of say and get back in the game. Determination comes from the will to want to succeed regardless of circumstances and the atmosphere around you. It is that extra boost of energy that is within you when you want to quit some people have a natural determination and others do not. Some people need help with building their determination because they want to be able to succeed and just do not know the way of going about it. For the people who may need help my advice would be to think about the finish line and how you will feel when you complete the task that you are...

As parents it is our job to protect our children and make sure that they grow up in an environment that is nurturing and comfortable for them to learn and express themselves. As parents and parental figures (for those who do not have children) it is our job to make sure the children are equipped to grow up to be strong leaders and be able to critically think and make decisions on their own. When you allow your child to get hurt in your care not accidentally but knowingly then you are doing a disservice to your child by not acting as his or her protector by putting them in harms way. There is no justifying knowingly putting your child in harms way and acting as if selfish wants and needs are more important than the safety of your children. Under no circumstance is this ever okay to do. I do believe that some people when they have children they grow into being a parent and parenthood makes them a better person. And then I believe there are people who never fully get that parent...

Blessed is the one who is able to have days that are filled with activities whether that is work related activities or day to day life situations that may have you exhausted by the end of the day. Regardless of what you do on a daily I feel that having several activities keeps you out of trouble for one, and two it adds structure to your life.  Structure is great for people who need it and I am one of those people who thrive when there is structure. My days need to be organized and consistent because when they are not it throws me out of my comfort zone and I feel lost and confused. I tend to put myself down and feel bad when I am not being productive which is sad because I do know that rest is needed and I am not superwoman so I can’t always be doing something. Although I know this I still have regrets. I excel when I am busy and have things to occupy my time and when I have completed my daily to do’s and have nothing left to work on I feel that I am wasting valuable ti...
