A life 4 sale

“Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us.”  ~ John N. Mitchell quotes
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.     
Going through change is not easy.  For some it might feel as if you have reached the end of the road.  Maybe you have said:  I have had enough of my life!  The memories of what you had before, the friendships that are lost, coping with these changes are just too much for you.  You don’t want to continue. 
It is ok to feel this way.  In fact many of us have felt this way before, but very few of us do something about it.  Ian Usher’s friend Bruce uttered these exact words years before adding that he felt like selling his life: “lock, stock and barrel.  These words remained dormant in Ian’s mind until something triggered him to feel exactly the same way.  The world moved into the age of technology and for Ian it was easier.  He decided to put Bruce’s good idea into action!  A life 4 sale - his.
To be continued tomorrow…

Walls or bridges?

Given bricks – do we build a wall or a bridge? (Unknown)
Every morning each and every one of us receives a new stack of bricks.  Most of us will use it to build walls to protect us from the hurt that others have caused us.  Some will even extend the existing walls because they have experienced hurt before. 
However, using the same bricks, we can build a bridge.  It can be very lonely behind those walls.  Give someone a (2nd, 3rd) chance today. 
Restore those fragile relationships, whether it is work, family or friendship related.  I want to encourage you to build a bridge today.
