TAKE COVER

We live our lives in our own personal bubble to shield us from the things that we don't like. Some of us rarely open up because the fear of rejection isn't something we can handle easily. So we would rather keep our guard up and keep things simple, even though what we show to others is only just a small part of us. Keeping our personal space limited gives you no outlet when needing someone to relate to. Without a connection between people you are left to fill lost without the hope that only human compassion can give you. So give your friends and family the joy of knowing who you are without hiding your rough edges because it's our idiosyncrasies that make us who we are.

SEE IT ALL

If you open yourself to the possibility that not all favours done for you have your best interests at hand, you will find it harder to close your eyes to the lies you get told every day. So being naive not only results in losing your power to take control of your life but also gives others an upper hand on how to manipulate you. If your goal is to try and make everyone happy at the expense of your own happiness, then ignoring the things that might upset you and focus solely on how you can please those who surround you. Sadly it is impossible to satisfy everybody because helping someone may result in displeasing some body else. So you may as well start with your own happiness and take charge and show those who try to turn you into a puppet that you do have a voice of your own.

FRIENDS OF CONVENIENCE

It's funny that when people make insensitive remarks supposedly by accident and you don't let it bother you, then they go for round two. Those kind of people who aren't happy until they have made you unhappy are an example of how misery seems to need company irrespective of the consequences. Cut these friends of convenience out of your life because they will only hold you back. Friends who get jealous of your endeavours will only be saddened by your succession. So choose your friends wisely and you will have friends that will support you through thick and thin or the alternative, having a room full of Facebook friends who just want to show others they are more popular then everyone else which can make you feel more alone because of the lack of compassion highlights your so called friends true motives.

TRUTH OR DARE

Good friends are able to talk to each about everything, even the most sensitive of topics are not restricted. So why do a lot of people hide what they really think from the ones that matter most to them?, is it because they believe that their might be a chance that they will offend their friends and family?. When did we change into a people that can't handle the truth from our closest friends to a person that doesn't know each other's true feelings of our true friends?.

YOUNG MIND, OPEN MIND

As role models our actions are sometimes mimicked by our children and of those who admire our lifestyle. Impressionable minds take sway to prejudices we have, and carry through life like wildfire to others who are willing to listen. So if you don't want to live in a cynical world we all need to watch what what we say and how it will impact the minds of others. Negativity breeds fast especially when you try to control the truth. Having only negative views doesn't do any good for our community, unless you are able to advise with an open mind you may as well blame yourself for contributing to the negative pollution that sometimes stands apparent.

UPHOLD THE POOR, I MEAN LAW

 If all laws are evaluated as a whole, then we are lucky to have a good system in place, but the system has some issues which seem to neglect a lot of the community. This must be a challenge for those who are in charge of upholding the law  even when they themselves don't believe in them. One of the many laws that should be reassessed states that moving your mobile while driving is using it, can this same rule be used for other items in the car. The males driving their partners car make sure you don't move your wife's lipstick or you may be accused for using the lipstick or don't pass a dummy to your child because dummies are for children under three. Most importantly make sure your home is hazard free you don't want a burglar to trip they might sue you for everything you own including your house.

REVENUE OR SAFETY ?

We are told that speeding cameras save lives because they will stop us from speeding. So why does it take a couple of weeks before we get the fine ? Is that because it is harder for us to recall the instance which usually means we won't dispute the charge. Wouldn't it make sense that we were stopped at the time of the offence so it will slow us down from the accident they claim we would of had. Or maybe our donation to the council is the perfect recourse to going faster than what they say is right because they know best.

ARE WE PEOPLE BEFORE OUR NATIONALITY ?

Our nationality is based on where we come from and can be recognised by what language we speak. But if it's the land we are born on that determines what we are known to others as then what about our heritage and how far do we have to go to be able to call ourselves part of that country. Pangea was the name of continent before the land separated. So our past has Pangea history. Life would be simpler and less confusing if we treated each other as people and not change how we communicate based on where we come from. On a brighter note happy Australia day !!!

I WANT IT NOW

We seem to have changed into a society who refuse to wait and expect things now. Technology leaps have shown us that we should expect more out of everything and on a much shorter time frame. This has affected some into being impatient and rude while others really didn't need the excuse. So maybe its time to slow down and use that extra time you now have to be compassionate and empathise with the common man and woman. Unless you'd prefer to sweep all the problems with the world under the rug, now that's up to you and your initiative.

SURRENDER TO YOURSELF

The misconception that we hear a lot of, is that we are in complete control of who we are. But the truth is we can only succumb to who we are if we expect to live a happy life. Trying to control how we feel will only suppress who we are, the ability to convince ourselves that we have control of who we are supposed to be and how we are going to react during an emotional moment will take us further away of accepting ourselves. Trying to change our core is like swapping our soul for another more preferred one, but we are who we are and half the battle is discovering that. Life is discovering what you like not making up likes that seem to fit the person you want people to see. Acceptance can only occur with yourself,  when you allow your true self to be seen, otherwise you'll always be lost searching for the reason of why you can't make yourself happy.

BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS

There is a type of narrow minded thinking that restricts people from looking deep into things. I like to refer to this as O.W.T which stands for old wog thinking. Now I'm sure this type of thinking can be found not only in the old stubborn minds of our community but also can be found in the younger generations. It's sad to think if your hoping to gain only useful knowledge from those who have lived longer than yourself its not always the case, because your naive mind may fall prey to the weakness that usually comes when spending time with a deteriorated mind. At first their beliefs may sound convincing but once analysed the bias and negative views stand out and don't match your own outlook on life. So if you don't want to be a backward thinker hold onto the good and filter the bad before you get O.W.T

SAFETY AN ILLUSION

We seem to be bombarded with information to fill us up with fear. An overwhelming of focused fear from the media ,church's and even our family. All this to control how we think and what we do, a false sense of security that is assured to us as long as we stay in the parameters of what is considered right for us. The sheltered security blanket is just a distraction to make us feel we are safe, but without freedom of choice then what is the point because we end up losing what is truly sacred , our self. No one is really 100 percent safe in life, but it doesn't have to mean you live your life in fear. Living cautiously doesn't require constant reminders of how the world is a dangerous place. So trying to control the population with promises that can't be kept isn't fooling anyone. Their is no hiding from your fate that's why our time should be spent educating our community not treating people as if surrounding them with cotton wool will protect them from the dangers around them.
