Second Chances
"Second chances do come your way. Like trains, they arrive and depart regularly. Recognizing the ones that matter is the trick." - Jill A. Davis
"It's life and we're just recycled teenagers." – J. Nasuti
I asked this friend of mine why there was so much stuff going on regarding health issues. She Immediately replied, "It's life and we're just recycled teenagers."
I mentioned that I always refer to older people as juniors that are barely just getting started in the game of life.
Actually, life always gives you a second chance but you have to flip the switch in your brain in order to enjoy the best years of your life. As you flip the switch, you will be moving towards your Y.
Let me explain.
Your own personal X factor is anything that immobilizes, derails or prevents you from growing intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, physically or financially .
Your Y is anything that you want to be, do or have more in your life.
Years ago, I remember teaching in a junior high school. I hardly ever went into the staff room to spend time with my colleagues. The reason being is that they were continually looking at their watches and telling everyone how many years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds remained until their retirement.
That drove me nuts.
So, I spent most of my time with the students.
Unfortunately, today lots of those beautiful people are no longer around.
I imagine that they looked at retirement as some magical realm where they could do absolutely nothing.
Doing nothing might work for some people but doing nothing with no purpose for most people is a direct and speedy route to one's demise.
If we flip the switch in our brain towards attirement and not retirement, we could enjoy the best years of our life.
The word retirement says it all, to withdraw or cease.
Deep down in everyone’s psychological house is the innate desire to do something worthwhile and purposeful.
Without this we are already dead.
I am going to suggest that we flip our switch towards attirement.
You won’t find that word in the dictionary anywhere as I invented it when I wrote the following.
Life Always Gives You A Second Chance

The real question to ask is how to we get a second chance?
“The only person that you should compare yourself to is the person that you were yesterday.” – Amy Morin
Don’t compare yourself to anyone but yesterday's version of yourself.
No one in this universe has your DNA.
I’ll say it again that DNA is an acronym for dare to nurture all that is within you.
Stop this nonsense of comparing yourself to anyone else on the planet.
Grab a hold of yourself.
No one can even come close.
When you believe this with your entire mind, body and spirit the essence of who you really are exudes into your outer world.
As a result, people want to be around you and they want to follow you because they want to and not because they have to.
In order to get rid of the naysayers and believe that you can do it, you must persist in spite of present circumstances and impregnate this script into your deeper mind.
“I am so happy and grateful now that I am already incredibly calm, strong, steady and full of life. I believe in myself. I love myself. I feel good about myself. I am already calm, confident, competent and capable. I rejoice that it is so.”
Your deeper mind has no clue of what is real or not and will execute this towards its fruition.
The only caveat is that you must believe it with your entire mind, body and spirit.
Get ready for the ride of your life.
Oh yes!
Get ready for second chances.
Carpe Momentum.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

The Courage To Say What Matters
When it comes to expressing our deepest feelings, so many of us hold back. We let fear, doubt, and insecurity silence the words we long to say. Yet, in doing so, we deny ourselves the chance for emotional fulfillment and meaningful connection with those we care about most.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
