Distracted by life....

Everybody seems to be looking for a fix. It use to be just junkies trying to chase that original high, but now its the teenager trying to loosen his parents death grip of tough love, its the single mom who has a few kids trying to find Mr.Right! Everybody has needs and most are willing to do what ever they need to do to solve them.
My issue is this. I think that when foreigners come to America, they see opportunities and the chance to make a way out of now way. They R well aware that nothing beats a chance but a try. Most speak another language or two and willing to make sacrifices to make their dreams happen. If they don't know how to do something they look, listen and learn. They may drive a hooptie, live 15 deep in an one bed room apartment and do with out the finer things in life to make it happen. What about the people in the first paragraph. Is life tougher for them. Does life have them distracted or is it just a double standard.
Sometimes we just gotta realize that we are often times our own biggest obstacle. And what is an obstacle you wonder? I consider an obstacle an opportunity to use skills that you may not have even been aware that you already have! If you fall down you only have two options: 1). You can learn to crawl while you stay down on the ground or 2). Or you can get back up and learn from your error.
We all heard when life gives you lemons......make lemonade. Now I don't know what that means to you but here is what it means to me. I make no mistakes...let me say that again in case you think I erred! I make no mistakes, I only have learning experiences. So if something does not go like I planned, I learn from that and choose another option in the future. I can't keep doing the same actions and expect different results can I? Of course not!
So here is some free advice from Wardy. Pretend you ain't from round these parts partner and do what others do...Make it happen by making a way outta no way. No one ever said life is easy, but as along as your alive keep on trying to reach for the Sun and even if yOu fail, at least you will be amongst the stars.
