Remember old Looney Tunes commercials where Bugs Bunny would trick his enemy to actually take the dynamite from him just because they wanted ownership of the situation. We all find ouselves at times in these situations that we don't realize what we are taking ownership of.

Arghhh.  One of the worst things in the world is trying to have a serious conversation or asking a serious question and you have to deal with a nonsensical argument, debate, or answer.  Don't you wish that people would just put aside their agendas and ego and have a enlightening dialogue?????  You are not alone!!!!

This is the second part in a two part checkers vs. chess mini-mini-series. Have you ever noticed that there are people who make easy things hard and hard things easy for no reason ? We sometimes get stuck playing the game the "right way" Only to realize that the pieces that we have attained don't necessarily belong in the game that we realize we were actually playing all along. We all fall victim to this but being aware of it can at least help to stop it as soon as you can.

Part two focuses on the issue of trying to simplify complex of difficult issues or just not understanding that things aren't' always that easy.

Part one focuses on the issue of making things difficult as in a game of chess vs taking the simple steps(checkers) that are required.

 

 

It seems as if people love to be apart of a group but don't necessarily love to strive to be great people. Are you principles important to you. Are they negotiable? Do you love your family member and friends more than you love to stand for what is right.?

Are you taking work home every day even though you aren't' physically taking any work home? Do you feel trapped in a job that you hate and that might also possibly treat you unfairly. A job is not much more than a paycheck. You have one life but there are thousands of jobs out there.

Everybody thinks there 2 cents is worth a dollar. Facts and opinions are not always reconcilable and at times opinions are not even valid for making an argument. We get emotionally attached to the things we believe in and attempt to protect ourselves by saying that all opinions are equal to facts or that your opinion should at least be respected. I could not disagree more with that type of thinking.

Congratulations!!! You started chasing your dreams. You are doing more of what you makes you happy and working towards becoming self sufficient. Time passes by and nothing appears the way it did at the beginning.  Let's see if we can figure this out?

Fight or flight?  What position do you choose when faced in an adverse situation?  Power or weakness?  Strength or instability. We all sometimes find ourselves on the wrong side of the equation but, WHY

No one starts at the top, yet most plan to be at the top instead of making plans to ensure all  the necessary steps that are needed to succeed are in place. We have to learn to love the journey and process on the path to greatness.  Success is the bonus!!
