Challenges
Today is the beginning of another challenging week. Everything is a challenge. Getting through the day, keeping your sanity, accomplishing goals, everything. Being happy, doing the right thing, standing up for what you believe in, having faith, making a salient point, everything.
I love a challenge but sometimes I wish things could be easy. It's almost like everything is a struggle, a fight to get it done. Sometimes, you have to take drastic measures. Sometimes you have to make a great sacrifice. The reward after the fight is always sweet, especially when you know you worked damn hard to get it.
Have a great week everyone.

Insomnia ...
It's 3:26 a.m. and I've been up since 11:45 p.m.
The sleep just won't come. I'm somewhat used to this but gosh ... I wish I could get some sleep already. This will make for a miserable day at work later ... Ugh! The last thing I need is a sleepless night to make my day at work more unbearable than it already is sometimes.
Let me be more positive - Despite my lack of sleep tonight, I will have a wonderful, productive day at my place of employment!!! Really psyching myself up here aren't I???

A Few Words of Wisdom
I got this email a few weeks ago, found it to be so true and relevant that I decided to share it with you. Enjoy!
If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly? Each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships and GOD.
When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.
When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate that you have, for you never know when you might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted because today is the only guarantee you have.
When someone inflicts an injury upon you it teaches you that the human state is a fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best you can, it's the only thing you are sure to have forever.
When someone mocks you it teaches you that no two people are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, don't judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents of their heart.
When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don't turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together.
Times ten.
When someone holds a grudge against you it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.
When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.
When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.
When someone ridicules you it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.
Man's capacity to love is the greatest gift he has. At the root of all kindness is love, and each act of love also teaches us a lesson. When someone loves us it teaches us that love, kindness, charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness and acceptance can counteract all the evil in the world.
For every good deed, there is one less evil deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.
When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence, consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of reality? When you die will your life have resulted in more loving or hurting? More comfort or pain? More joy or sadness? Each one of us has power over the balance of love in the world. Use it wisely. Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in the right direction. For each person who receives this, there will be a little less evil in the world and a little more LOVE.

Hypocrisy
Hypocrites annoy the hell out of me. I understand it is necessary to play the hypocrite sometimes but I am not in support of it especially on a whim or as a habit. My colleagues at work hear me say it all the time that I don't think I could be a really big manager in a company I do not own, simply because of the level of hypocrisy, politics and bureacracy that exists. The pretences, the lies, I'm just not cut out for that sort of thing.
Maybe I'm just being a bitch, or being naive or just plain dumbass. However, I find it very hard to pretend. If I don't like you, I try my best to avoid you. If I can't avoid you then I maintain a civil relationship. I will come across cold in these situations but it would only be directed to that one individual. Does this make me a bad person? I would feel much better to know that a person said "I'm not that into you" than to smile with me, act as though we're friends and getting along, only to slaughter me behind my back in one way or another. I hate that and I don't appreciate people pretending to like me when deep down they really don't.
Did I say hypocrites annoy the hell out of me? What I really meant to say is that I strongly dislike hypocrites. I know there are something that will always be around - double standards, hypocrisy, bureacracy and corruption. They exist and I detest them all!!!
