I’ve been raised where I have not let my emotions boil over just keep them in check until they are ready to burn.  While many of this generation let every emotion run down their sleave even if it’s not that hot.  Maybe it allows them to release their emotions before they get to hot or maybe it just lessons the impact when released. Some in my generation reach their boiling point and commit horrendous acts when that occurs.  I on the other hand wait and ponder about the best way to attack to make sure those that might have burned me are left with a scar that the world sees. This way the temperature won’t rise so high in the future not only for my sake but their’s as well.

Parking a Lamborghini on a street in Beverly Hills is very different then parking it down on Main Street, Ohio.  For one is a status symbol which you have achieved similar to others in the neighborhood and the other is to rub it into them.  We all should be proud of what we have achieved and enjoy the material possessions that it has allowed us to acquire but not flaunt it in a way that tries to prove we are better.  In other words it’s fine to park your Lamborghini on Main Street but please don’t leave it overnight for you never know when the birds will find the right place to bring you back to earth.

Everytime I try to move it feels as if part of me keeps me locked down.  It’s not that I’ve never been happy I just can’t recall when.  People have triggered this emotion in me with their looks or distance or maybe it’s because I’m not even worth their time to say hello. I know something isn’t right I just don’t have the energy to change it.  Maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow but for now I feel as if a weight is pulling me down to the ground even if I tried to escape the pain.

FOOTNOTE- If you or someone you knows experiences these feeling maybe it’s time to have a professional help with the lift.

Not everyone is blessed with a father in their daily life so for those that fill those roles I want to wish them a Happy Father’s Day as well.  For a father is more then blood but heart and soul.  A person that is able to guide another through good and bad times and as result make this world a bit better one person at a time is a father to me and should be to you as well. If  you are one that has been receiving such love and care maybe it’s time you celebrate the day with them. Happy Father’s Day to all those that expect the cards and those that deserve them anyway.

FOOTNOTE- I have been blessed with a wonderful father from day 1 who inspires me to be a better loving person because of the qualities he shares with the entire family. Happy Father’s Day Dad.

Many will seek professional treatment for their physical ailments that cause them much pain but will ignore their mental health which can hurt just as much if not more. When should an individual seek professional health to treat this part of their body? Here are some criteria I’ve set for myself and hope you will input in your life.  For if you can take care of one part of your body why neglect another.

(1) If I feel I can’t perform the basic tasks I’ve performed in the past because pain hasn’t taken over those paths professional help will be sought.

(2) On the occassion that sleeping and eating become more difficult on a routine basis it’s time that I seek the help to bring them back in more life.

(3) Granted that I feel as if I’m on the fight mode with the same daily individuals in my life then I would need the professional help to develop a strategy so I can fly away from this emotional pain.

(4) On the occassion I see or hear things that others have no perception of then maybe it’s time I look in a different direction.

(5) If my mind is consumed with hurting myself or others then I would seek treatment to lessen the blows to my head.

To conclude it’s important to seek professional treatment in times when emotions are controlling your life and the paths you would take.

Isn’t it strange how those closest to you often show their gratitude when other things around them are painful?  When things are good many forget who helped lead them up these steps but when they slip they call for your helping hand and thank you just for listening.  It’s the same with G-D often are most honest prayers are during difficult times when we reflect not only on what is occurring but how great it is to receive divine help.  We make  go to our Church’s, Synagogues and Mosque’s on a regular basis with our body but less of our mind and soul.  Pain is one way all 3 can come back together in our prayers and as such change our relationship back to our true father and king.  May we better learn to formulate these feelings during good times to fellow loved ones and the one that loves us the most so pain becomes less an influence in our life’s.

You really want to see this film but everyone’s scheduled is booked so go yourself and nobody really has to know if you follow these simple rules (below).  Please also know if you go by yourself you don’t have to worry about peer reviews and can come and go as you please.

(1) CONFIDENCE- Nobody really knows if you’ve gone by yourself unless you reveal this fact. For example how many people wait for a friend to buy popcorn, go the restroom, or even arrive a bit later.

(2) COMPANY- Sit next to someone else in the theater. It will look as if you came with those people anyway.

(3) ARRIVE JUST ON TIME- If the movie is about to begin then idle talking won’t be necessary.

(4) BUY LARGE POPCORN- It’s nice to share with neighbors and convince your mind that you really didn’t go by yourself.

(4) COMMENT AFTERWARDS- Ask the people next to you what they thought about the film after it ends. Who knows you might make a friend for your next movie experience.

(5) THE DARK- In the end nobody will even notice that you’re alone in the theater for they will be looking at the screen not you.
