Will Work For Food

Have you ever pass someone on the street that had a sign that said will work for food? If so how do you picture these individuals? Do you look at them as a victims of hard times or as a lazy people that need to find a real job and is just looking for someone to hand them money for standing there instead of work for food. How about the ones that have got smarter and now have signs that says, stranded please help.
I can’t help wondering what type of sign will be next, but what I do know is that these individuals are not as lazy as we may think, because it takes a lot of effort and time to travel from area to area and put in the dedication to run their business. Yes I did say business, if you thought that you could make $200 a day doing this, would you? I have heard of individuals that are actually making that amount and more.
No I don’t consider this a legit business or would encourage anyone to pursue it. But I would encourage you to begin creative thinking in seeking ideals on ways if you need to increase your finances. And please don’t let this article discourage you from helping out street vendors because they really are working for food, we all are.

The Same Old Things

Are you or anyone you know part of the same old things group? These individuals are the ones that every time you speak to them and ask what’s going on, you get the reply the same old things. I have some friends and relatives that I may have not seen or talk to in awhile but when I do that is the common response that I have heard. The same old things may be good for some people, but it definably not good for me. I look at it this way, everything in the world change by the seconds so why would I continue during the same old things day in and day out. I will let you in on a little secret if you want some different new things to begin happening in your life, first drop that reply from your response choices, now I am about to go deep here, next begin to observe yourself from outside of yourself. The way you would do this is to imagine that you are two separate you and that a smarter you is standing behind you watching your every move, now see the smarter you looking at everything that you do and either agreeing or disagreeing. Now I know that this may seem crazy but I guarantee that if you came learn to implement this method into your life that you will start to have new things going on in your life. Also let me continue to encourage you to begin meditation, it will change you beyond your belief.

Silver Lining

You may have heard the saying that every cloud has a silver lining. The meaning behind this can best be define as it is always possible to get something positive out of a situation, no matter how unpleasant, difficult or even painful it might seem. I have come to realize that if I keep this saying centered in my mind I begin to look at all situations in my life different. I no longer focus on how bad something may seem but looks for the silver lining that is there that will turn it in to a positive feeling. I know at times it may be hard to find it in the beginning and something’s would seems as though there is know way it could be a positive in it, but I attempt not to dwell on those. I believe that the more I keep my mind in a positive state the better the overall conditions of my life will be. I know that the way I live my life is through feelings so it makes the best sense that I would keep a positive feeling toward all good outcomes at all times if possible. Life is not as hard to live as most people make it; life is about knowing how to live it.
