Sometimes You Just Need Reminding

02 Jan

You know how sometimes you know something, but you don't know it know it? We're human. We forget. And that's where the reminders come in handy. Reminders of what to do, what not to do and everything in between. Life is full of reminders if we just pay attention.

For example:

Overeat and you'll be reminded with a stomach ache and added weight.
Be rude and guess what you'll get in return?
Smother someone you are interested in and you'll soon find them running in the opposite direction.
Can we all say hangover?
Put your face next to a dog's food bowl while eating and you'll get a quick reminder why that's not a good idea!

And the list goes on...
Life is full of little reminders. Sometimes we just get desensitized to them and don't pay attention to them. That's when we tend to falter... Personally, I tend to see the reminders a lot more than I used to. Before, I would walk around, oblivious to anything that may help to guide me to a better life. I had blinders on. A one track mind, so to speak... I was hard headed and never gauged my success or failure. That's like taking off in a boat with no idea where you're headed. You just go and hope for the best. I lived so many years just hoping for the best. Guess what? Hoping for the best isn't nearly as effective as looking for your best and making the necessary adjustments along the way. It's much less stress and so much easier! And as I said before... Sometimes you just need reminding...
