You know who I'm talking about. The people who have to give you a piece of mind for every single thing you do. Usually not in the "good opinion" section of how you process their words. Usually seems negative. Well, if you got these people on you back daily, the best way to throw them off guard is to start agreeing with them. Then, disagree. Throw them off course. They need to get that so-called problem of theirs off your back. You didn't cause their current situation. If you did, go apologize today.
And that's Real.

Whine and Fined
Thinking back to original work and time.
When you put your money in your mouth and got quality results,
those results allowed you to get the benefits of a better life.
A happy boss = a happy upgrade. (At least most of the time.)
Not everyone can get these upgrades easily.
You got to stand out.
No matter the profession, when your cornered in too often you will feel the aches.
A happy you = a happy everyone else. (usually.)
Some might not enjoy your good day with you.
Not your problem, but don't rub anything in any one's face.
Share is caring. Caring is daring. (......)
Bite bullets, Save the day, and most importantly Remain humble.
Your mission in life shouldn't be to be the best.
You will always lose that battle.
Be your best. Now that says a lot more, no?
And that's Real Talk.

The Beating of a Life Driven by Insanity
What is it to be driven by the things we lust, yearn, and could die for?
Passion is a word better known for smell, desire, and any beginning title for a product used best to make the nights a little more interesting.
The idea of passion though is to connect to us in a way we feel this moment in time is perfect.
It can be turned into greater or worse.
Passion, however, could be the one thing that turns you from yourself to your alter-ego.
This alter-ego has no-holds-barred written all over its forehead.
In life we strive to accomplish many dreams. Some praised, others frowned upon.
Regardless of the matter, the passion we have inside of us can be the one thing to make us or break us.
In workforce, living matters, and love-related; this passion we build up comes from childhood, builds in teen years to get a more precise idea, and then turns into the final product.
For some of us, it means to reach our current position in life, and others to give more of a way to get where we need to be.
Passion will take you far, and as long as you don't let it become the entire prospect of things, can show to be very enriching.
Taking matters into your own hands is mainly driven from passion in the soul.
We can be idolized and get the content feeling of satisfaction, or we can build a dream from the stone in the ground to the skyscraper in the air.
Passion is one thing we can all agree is a driving force in our lives and will determine how far we go, including any backtracks or hold-ups.
Today, is the day to let your passions come alive and get you somewhere into a place of satisfaction.
The photo-shoots, the complete paintings, the finished products, the recording studios, the show-cases tonight, and even the accounts squared between two business ready to make things go up and steady.
Some of us might not have anything going on currently to apply this idea, but if this is the case be aware that time is of importance. Today is to start this project. Today you don't need a million things done. Today you just need the blueprint. Worry about the rest tomorrow.
The more you fill your plate with food, the harder it becomes to chew and eat.
Then again, the more you try to eat when there's nothing on the plate, becomes a starving situation.
Keep your eyes open and up to the sky.
The limit you hold, is on your own terms.
Be your own champion, so others have something to inspire them.
And that's Real.

Living life on Crutches...
Too many times you can say to yourself,
I need to be my own person. I need to have my own things.
Positive and Negatives can play major roles, but the negatives always have their good as well as good has its bad.
Where do we start?
Let's think about the positives of being on your own.
1. You can do anything shamelessly and not get hassled. (Unless you live with someone.)
2. People respecting your own rules when in your home.
3. Bathroom is yours. (Many of us need this for whatever reason.)
Negatives:
1. Massive bills (CRAZY.)
2. No one cooking you breakfast. (Sorry mom.)
3. Longer time waiting for another big purchase. (Someday...Flat Screen HDTV.)
These might seem pointless but the next time you decide to do things your way and not the way people think you should go, be ready to prove your self more to your checking account then your so called "judgmental crew." The toll will wiegh heavier here than any type of opinion you feel you need approval.
Staying at home at any age for a little time is smart. You want to worry about getting laughed at or judged wrong? Mind yourself, the others will have their turn if they want to laugh now.
Save up your money. Whether you want to pursue a career in music (TONS OF EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT), art (Books, Programs, Supplies, etc.), or even go back to school; it all takes a lot of sacrificing.
Nothing is wrong with wanting to better yourself if the intentions are for your own sanity. No one else will walk you through your life unless there's incentive for them to hold you.
Live smart. Pay the price. Get it right.
And that's Real Talk.

When is enough, enough?
Well when is it?
Sometimes the hardest thing to give up are things you care most about.
It's funny how we take the small things in life for granted and make such a huge deal about the big things we trash up anyways.
Think about priorities.
If you are handed something most of your life, the odds of you taking care of what you get are very slim, but not too rare...but somewhere near it.
If you worked hard your whole life, as you are meant to one way or another you start taking the value in things you own more seriously.
If this hasn't happened to you, it will. If it never gets to, lucky you.
What about the small things though?
Time spent with parents, siblings, or relatives. he time we have is borrowed. Give someone a call today. IT COULD BE ANYONE. Someone who appreciates the call more than someone who might end up calling you tomorrow anyways.
TAKE A BREAK.
Whether your in tough times or in a recent clash, take a break from the stress.
It's time to put more value into your eyes for the smaller things.
STRESS IS WEAKNESS.
Take a drive with your best friend(s), significant other, or someone you wouldn't mind sitting next to for the next hour or so. Take a road trip this year. It's not hot everywhere but that is no excuse.
NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ABOUT PARTIES AND SPRING BREAKS.
Everything in life is surely an experience. Some might be cool to you now, or you might get the short end of the stick when a small good time could lead to a long destroying self image. You are perfect the way you are, you don't need to be the center of attention to be the center of attention.
Sometimes even being the quiet one makes you the most desirable one.
STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU THINK IS WHAT IS "IN".
Think about all the advice you give to your friends. Bad or good, we've all given out the bad before, which in turn can lead to some good for the night, but bad for the worrying mind for weeks if not months.
RELAX.
You think you're in a bad position now?
Some people are dying to make the same moves to get there.
That position?
A stupid decision.
Take the time to give out some good advice to your close people and so on.
Show them experience.
Take the time in doing some helpful work to get a smile.
I promise one smile created through your efforts will take place of 5 different bad things you had to do just to feel good for 10 minutes!
BE YOUR OWN PERSON AND DON'T SETTLE.
If you think you're in a tough spot where you might think about leaving who your with to catch some fling, just remember the consequences. Don't get bit. If you do, don't start to cry or whine. You asked for this. Then again if you know where you are is hard to let go, but you know if you stay you'll end up crying anyways. Leave. It's better for everyone. Trust me.
Take what you got, appreciate it and move on.
TAKE LIFE'S LESSONS AS A GUIDE.
Karma? Dejavu? Negative. Just Cause and Effect.
Life is a circle. One you have to deal with til it's over to continue onto the next.
You do dirt, you get dirt.
You plant seeds, you get crop.
We will meet over a million people in our lifetime, all with similar stories to that of yours, and ones that will cause you to break away from where you are and explore somewhere else.
Caught interest is deadly but can be 1000% positive if the right stuff comes your way.
The opportunity to go skiing in the mountains is great. Getting to overhaul your self on bad decisions, might cause damage.
The only thing I will say to you all is that you all have to make decisions to grow.
Everyone wants to experience something. Temptation is our biggest enemy at times.
Eating that fudge brownie when you know you've got a competition you;ve been working for months for. No one's saying don't eat the brownie, but you need to relax on how many of them you ate. One won't hurt. Five will. I only say this because of facts in nutrition you can easily get from the box.
Everyone needs to see thigns for themselves.
Sometimes knowing you neighbors experience an give you a good ideas of what to expect.
SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO.
LIFE IS NO GAME TO CHEAT IN.
YOU WILL ALWAYS LOSE WHEN YOU CHEAT AT ANYTHING.
(It just may take a little while to occur)
Don;t take no for an answer when you want a yes. But don;t tist arms to get it.
THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW TO START OVER.
WHO SAID YOU HAD TO WAIT?
(oh right...you're still on that vacation in the mountains....well maybe right after that)
Once again readers I thank you all for taking the time to check this out.

Changes - Possible or Impossible?
Whoever said change is impossible is ridiculous.
This one goes out to those who have been blinded by the past and are haunted by it.
Changing a person is impossible, most definitely. Unless of course they work for you as a model, not definitely.
But if you have someone in your life who has either moved onto a different path or is going their separate way no matter how hard it is, you can't change the history you had or the future you might not have.
We can't change another person ever. Even if you did, it's wrong.
Think about your worst fight with a significant other. They have done you wrong, but in their eyes they're still figuring themselves out. As much as you want to change what events have occurred between the two of you, it happened for you to move on, not stick around and say "It's OK, it's OK. I understand why." Big N-O. Because it's not OK.
Maybe you're the person doing the damage. If this is you, well you know how it works. You got to want to change yourself, and you know it'll happen when it's meant. It sure will happen. If it hasn't yet, you're not fully grown to your maturity. If you're 35 years old cheating and lying to your spouse, there is most definitely a problem. A problem the other person can't fix or couldn't change about the other person before their vows.
KNOW who you are dealing with.
You can't change the way someone makes you feel, and vice-versa.
You can't change how someone acts towards you, but you can change the way you act towards someone else. The problem today is control.
Control is knowing you feel dominant or liberal. You don't want to stop the chasing, the fun, and the excitement. If you're in the position to say you're not enjoying that already, maybe you could have been if you had made an effort to have some without someone controlling it for you.
BE THE CONTROLLER.
You may not be able to change who you are, you're personality, or your urges; but what you can do is control your future and your actions. Saying NO to what you know is right for you and for anyone depending on you. Saying YES at the right time to things that might not lead anywhere today, but have a potential gain later on.
You gotta give a little, to get a little.
That is the way the world works.
Everyone wants freebies, everyone wants to play this game of life with you.
Don't try to say to yourself you never have. If you truly haven't, after this you will.
However, there's positive to being used. Your feelings at the moment might be immature, weak, and vulnerable; but the possibilities of being down can only mean the complete opposite later on. Your time will come, and you'll remember who treated you like a person and not a tool. They will wash your hands after you washing theirs. You will wash the hands that washed yours someday as well.
Be alert. The best way to avoid these bad changes is to change your steps into what you know you have faced by looking into the past.
Everyday is a new day, but the occurrences that happen might surprise you. Call it Karma?
Either look away, turn around, or whatever it takes for you to give the red for the bad, and the green for the good.
And that's Real Talk.

How Sick Are We?
In a world of truth and diversity, the story of each character is more realistic than you could ever imagine or believe. This idea is tampered with when greed and corruption begin to take hold of what is available. Another way to look at this is obsession. Obsession can kill a person, by health and mind. When your judgment is based on a want more than a need, it becomes hard to recognize which is more important. Self-relief becomes a priority over self-improvement. Don't be fooled as to what self-improvement really is. Recall the past or your prior experience, and proceed with caution.
How does this affect us The People?
Believe it or not it does. Think about the worst salesman you have ever met. Not only is he a liar, but he wants to give you in most cases, a smaller or used portion of the product. You get a used car that looks great, smells amazing, and then you finally sit in it a day in and already noticing every small detail. Like a gash in the seat...between your legs. Not crazy yet. Until your neat freak side, if you have one, switches into engage.
Processed Food.
Think about the food we eat today. Most of the stuff is preserved with chemicals and even bleached with the same stuff we clean our laundry with. More true than you believe (some "Natural" products are fraud). In any event, all of this information can be easily looked up all over the internet. What you eat and your habits are your gateway from living stress, toxin-free and overly-stressed, toxic.
Smoking and Drinking.
Stress-relievers, but if over-used, might take away any days left to enjoy and then some.
Notice, the best time for smoking is after you've consumed the drink and need to shake off the buzz. Well, at least calm it down. Personally, no matter how many times you can reach over to grab a cigarette, it tastes horrible and leaves the headache you thought you might get rid of. Not happening. Drinking is great when going out or attending a party. Everyone needs to get loose. But the two of these, when not doing anything at all, would be just like killing time. There is so much more in life you can be doing. Conquering fears, proving yourself worthy of things you want, without putting your life in the red. These two habits are also very very expensive. Think of all the other things you can be doing with your money. Saving, donating, retiring. One way or another you should be able to enjoy the habits you do have, but do not let a habit become a routine. Habits at one point were once in a while stress relievers and for the time being happy enhancers, but that only lasts for so long before the last straw on the camels back causes it collapse. Relief has it's price. This is one thing you DON'T want to afford. Rich or poor.
Budgeting is great. When you spend more time with the family, significant other, friends, or even at our workplace keeping busy or having fun without spending 1/4 of your ends. Budgeting helps you achieve personal goals you've always wanted to set for yourself without giving you a nasty overhead or a nasty fly on your back wanting to suck your life away with payments. Save up what you can afford to save. Exclude your long term savings.
Vacations.
Even if your not the type to go out to parties, beaches, or anywhere that you cannot stand too much of noise or people. These are great. No matter where you go, no one knows you, so if you happen to find a nice beach to read your books, not saying to be nasty to anyone, but stand your space and declare some. Especially if there's plenty of beach to go around. A nice mood-setting drink might be in order too. I'll take a corona and lime. The ice cream, too.
Am I telling you to stop your comfortable lives? Not at all.
What I do suggest is home-cooked meals, sports/games for the family, outings/barbecues, and positive out-looking for a self-dependent life. Be in charge of your own routine. Live how you want, but take care of yourself. That car can only go so many miles without maintenance.
The road that lies ahead is a lot bumpier than meets the eye; but when you train yourself to drive properly and safely, the odds of an accident or surprise is dramatically low.
And that's Real Talk.

Save up what you can afford to save. Exclude your long term savings.
Vacations.
Even if your not the type to go out to parties, beaches, or anywhere that you cannot stand too much of noise or people. These are great. No matter where you go, no one knows you, so if you happen to find a nice beach to read your books, not saying to be nasty to anyone, but stand your space and declare some. Especially if there's plenty of beach to go around. A nice mood-setting drink might be in order too. I'll take a corona and lime. The ice cream, too.
Am I telling you to stop your comfortable lives? Not at all.
What I do suggest is home-cooked meals, sports/games for the family, outings/barbecues, and positive out-looking for a self-dependent life. Be in charge of your own routine. Live how you want, but take care of yourself. That car can only go so many miles without maintenance.
The road that lies ahead is a lot bumpier than meets the eye; but when you train yourself to drive properly and safely, the odds of an accident or surprise is dramatically low.
And that's Real Talk.
