Grey and Grounded

Expect more of yourself, in order to be tolerate of others. In everyday dealings with others, your values should be your guide. #mindfulness #personalgrowth #greyngrounded #mesagetomysons #alwayslearning

The saying "time heals all wounds" may or may not be true, but time does give us a chance to look at a particular situation in a diffferent "light" as we grow we can then look at it as a different person, and in that, we can heal, learn, and grow. #greyngrounded #mindfullnes #mesagetomysons #lifelessons

The worse thing you can do is to stoop down to the level of those who wish you ill will, and harm. Eagles only fly down when they have to take out their prey.#greyngrounded #amorfati #mesagetomysons #mindfulness #personalgrowth #mindfullnes

Being rich is not in needing alot of money, or fine clothes, big houses and fancy cars, it is not having the need for all of that and still be content with what you already have. #greyngrounded #amorfati #mindfulness #mesagetomysons

Remembrer, memento mori

What stands in the way becomes the way. I've always found the best way to deal with tough times is to be just as tough. Do not shrink in the face of adversity, or turn a blind eye. or a deaf ear. We all have problems, we will continue to have them until the day we leave this world. Do not waste your time in wallow attack the problem so you don't waste what little prescious time we have waiting to fix something.

I like the old adage, of hate the sin but still love the sinner. We should try to be tolerant of others, with the views, their ideas, their personalities. We can let them into our lives, but within limits. We should be tough on ourselves and our working on our on selves. That is what we should be focusing on. I have done a good job at this for the most part. What about you? Join me on the journey.

 It's through the books that we read, where we can really talk to people who are no longer with us. Though they may be gone, but in the pages of a book, those persons we are reading about are alive and well, and their memory lives on.

The Stoics say Amor Fati, love your fate. Whatever will happen has already been planned already. How you respond to that action is all you can control.

We should always be asking ourselves as to what we are doing whether it be at the moment, with a task, with our lives, "is this necessary?" How much time is spent on things that are not necessary, that wastes our time, and takes away from living and being? Let's take this journey together.
