Be Leery of the Calm



Yes, the old adage, "keep calm and carry on", but if you are a passionate person, stay clear of those who like to tout their calmness. They will irk the hell out of you and get away with it. Calm people very rarely get their feathers ruffled. They are the emotional instigators of life—button pushers, if you will. They know that they can keep their emotions in check and not get too riled up about any situation.

One thing you must know about calm people, they are not afraid to put your emotions to the test—and then have the nerve to tell you to stay calm. They are always so seemingly innocent, calm and peaceful on the outside, while twisting the knife on the inside. Basically, they focus on the “inside job” of how to make others’ lives miserable, especially those who are passionate or emotionally charged.

You see, most calm people are often very insecure bullies wanting to prove themselves at your expense. They want the world to believe that they are a better person than you. Don't feed into their insecurities. Just stay clear of them because you know calmness is not in your blood. You are passionate, proud and easily provoked!

Some, in all honesty, are just plain clueless and are not mindful of what they are doing.

Then there are the tiny few that are genuinely good people, and you will know them by their character and not their nature or reputation.



Because modern day society feeds into the premise that “perception is everything,” you are more likely to get a bad rap than they would. Only the wise and discerning head can see beyond that premise and false statement. For me, “Perception is for fools.” So watch out for the calm ones—they are your worst nightmare—they come off cool and sleek, but wreak havoc. Don't let them get your fire out of control. Be Blessed...Be Bold...Be Strong...Be You!!

Be Realistic!

Be Realistic We live in a world where being realistic is a thing of the past and conjures thoughts of mediocrity and cause for alarm in the minds of unrealistic people. It is no wonder we experience so much failure and disappointment in this 21st century.  With Christmas just around the corner, many will be holding unrealistic expectations of gifts to be given and received. Words are taken out of their true context and meaning can

Be Your Own Hero!

When I look back on my own life, there have been many times when I felt like giving up, there have been many times I have given up and there are times when I hang on tight for dear life. What do you think made the difference in actually giving up, just thinking about giving up and hanging on? In all these instances, I have learned that there are somethings worth fighting for and some things are just a waste of time and energy. Knowing the difference will make the difference because you are going to have to pick your battles. Sometimes some things are not meant to be—lay them to rest. If you pursue them they will take you out of alignment with your values and what you really want. You will lose your own way. Sometimes you didn't really want it in the first place—it might have been someone else's desire for you so there is no point fighting for it. Other times it might have been red eye—you see someone else doing it so you think you can do it too—you are compe...

Journey of Self: Who Are You?

How do you begin to answer this question? Do you begin with your name, relations, occupation, achievements, life status or family lineage? How about sexual, spiritual or solar orientation? No? Then you must be your race, creed, nationality, or background? Right?... So, if none of those define you, tell me... do you really, truly and honestly know who you are? How might you begin to find out? As individuals we have so many intricacies and facets to our lives that if we have not consciously taken the time to find out who we are, we could be living a lie or someone else idea of who we are. I know, I know...I can hear the protest loud and clear: "I know who I am." But really, do you? I have news for you. What you do and where you came from are NOT you!  That's right, it is an extension of who you are, but it certainly isn't you in its entirety. You were who you are, long before you learned how to walk, talk, read, or write. Long before your passed or cu...
