2. Change gon Come
This week has been tough at times, but I'm proud to say that I remarkably just rationally handled it in most cases! On top of that I didn't go down the route of feeling bad and making the mistake of contacting that "certain" person we all have that we know is bad for us (and wont exactly help either); but for some reason we tend to want to turn to for comfort in times of distress?! It could be anyone a sister, a lover, a friend they often just make it worse especially if they don't get it! I figure there is always going to be confrontation in this world and we cant change that but what we can change is how we chose to react to those many forms of confrontation. People say the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, so guess what? I figure that change is gonna have to come from me as I cant change other people.
This week I'm reading "Breathing Space" by K.Repka & A.Finger; its got some far out ideas on how our breathing is the one of most important things we do and can form a basis on how you think and therefore live. It has all sorts of Meditation techniques, if your into the yoga thing like me you will probably enjoy it. I find it interesting because it acknowledges and respects the "little" things we take for granted like breathing or being able to learn different things and put them all together, so many people have blinkers on and miss out on so much whilst concentrating on negativity and obsessing about other people!
So on summation what I am trying to say is I am no longer a kid and I cannot LET my past or other people's behaviour determine my own course of action in the present. I have chosen to accept full responsibility and ownership for my actions and that is the only way I will know peace. Everyday should be lived like our 1st because then we don't bear grudges, can forgive and let go of worry. Today is a new day we can ALL start again! There is life as long as we're still breathing!
The jam I turned to this week is by the unforgettable Sam Cooke -the First African American Record Label owner. Peace x

Live everyday as if its the first but never lose the lesson of yesterday when you're forgetting about yesterday otherwise there will be no point in going through yesterday.
