Some more about my boring life
Hello again, for those of you who read my first story and are, for some strange reason, interested in hearing more about my lame life. There isn't much more to tell, but I can partake in writing about multiple stories and thoughts I've had. Of course, I hope you're thinking about the typical, "late night shower thoughts", because those are pretty good. I don't have many of those, I mostly just watch videos of them and proceed to watch my own jaw drop while I realize those things are crazy, but true. Most of the time, though, I hope to write about wise and logical things that people will actually want to read instead of the garbage of thoughts I actually have.

Flashbacks
Thanksgiving Eve 2020: I'm not going to lie. I had a breakdown about 1 am. Cried for 2 hours. Told my daughter, Zoe, not to expect anything on Thanksgiving day. I had gone off my meds a few weeks ago totally forgetting I had yet to survive the holidays and clearly realize now that was a mistake. I made some chocolate milk and took my "happy pill".

A Perfect life
There is no such thing as a perfect life. We would have to be perfect people in a superficial world. Life brings challenges and some tribulations with it. We have to accept that we all have limitations. What comes easy in someone’s life may be the hardest thing to create in another’s. We are all in tune and aligned to our soul purpose whether we have discovered it or not. Finding the miracle of living is the perfect premise for living a boundless life full of hope and promise.

Believe And Achieve!
Many of us underestimate the power of the mind, especially when it comes to our own. As a result of outside negative influences, combined with what we are educated to believe by society, our friends, our teachers, and perhaps our parents, we tend to live our life completely restricted, as a result of the limiting beliefs we have formed in our minds. Each and every one of us have immense potential, skill, and ability, within us, yet so many of us go through life without revealing this talent, all because of our limiting beliefs. We don't believe that certain actions, or certain opportunities, can truly bring us success and reward, because such actions and opportunities didn't work out for others. Without even trying and knowing for ourselves, we instantly rule them out as outlets to success. We don't even know the real reasons behind why others failed at it, we just take their word on it, and adopt it as fact, especially when several others express their failure at it also. All someone needs to do is label an opportunity as a scam, and it sends people running, when in reality, it may be a genuine opportunity in which several people failed to apply themselves, and just expected the results to eventuate. Most people will never admit to failure though, in a bid to avoid feeling embarrassed and inferior, so they will pass blame on the opportunity, or perhaps other people. That opportunity may actually be a perfect fit for us, and the solution to achieving our goals, but because others have shamed it and criticized it, we adopt the belief it's a scam, ultimately limiting an avenue we had to success.

Fight For The Lifestyle You Desire!
Personally, when I hear the word "lifestyle", I think of living a life in which one's schedule, routine, activities, and habits, provide them with satisfaction, fulfillment, reward, balance, and enjoyment, whilst keeping themselves healthy in the process. Perhaps that is how you also perceive lifestyle as being? Interestingly, lifestyle is defined as nothing more than the way in which an individual lives. One thing that is for sure, the way in which we live our life should indeed bring us great happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment, pleasure, and enjoyment, otherwise we are not really living at all, but rather existing. I'd like to say that's how most of us live our lives, and it's probably what most people would say they are doing, just to keep up appearances, but the truth is, most people are indeed not at all happy with their lifestyle whatsoever. You only need to look at various social media posts, or have a chin wag with people, and you'll quickly hear, or see, the complaints and unhappiness come to the surface. Lifestyle, of course, can be broken down into various different components. There's work, family life, relationship, sleep, exercise, diet, leisure activities, socializing, health (including mental health), goals, spirituality, and even finance. To tick the boxes in each of these categories is one hell of an achievement, as we know that life often throws us curve balls, and there's always some area suffering adversity, and in need of attention. These adversities are a given, and can often be a sign that something is not right in our in life. Perhaps we are with someone who is not the right fit for us, or we are somewhere we shouldn't be, or doing something we shouldn't be doing, or we are just heading in the wrong direction in life.

Practicing Gratitude
It is times like these that we begin to feel grateful for the things we may otherwise have taken for granted. Now more than ever, our days are ridden with anxiety and uncertainty for what is to come; so now more than ever, we must look within, take this chance to reflect, and meditate on what is. Not what once was, or what could be, but what is, here and now.

How the Immediate Surroundings Help Bring You Inner Peace
2020 has been an unpleasant year for a lot of people, to say the least. Stringent health measures have been put in place to address the adverse health effects from the current pandemic. Aside from causing widespread panic, the COVID-19 crisis has burdened people enough for many to experience various forms of stress, depression, and anxiety.

For myself, and many others I have spoken to, 2020 has been a year of many new ideas looked-at in the right perspective. I run through the forest, and I breeze past the trees, looking for something to fill my deepest longings, to create meaning in a purposeless-driven world, where purpose has become only about the paycheck. "Now, hand me your heart."

How The Pandemic Gave Me Back My Life
This Thanksgiving will find more empty places at the table. Some are absent because of illness or death, and others are unable to gather because of Covid restrictions. People are struggling to pay bills and buy food. Employment is a daily uncertainty for many as restrictions limit their ability to go to work. Thanksgiving 2020 finds us at a time when giving thanks may be a bit difficult.

Top 5 Things I'm Thankful For this Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving and its in the year 2020. With that being said there was not much that we were able to do but to celebrate with only the people that we live with. Although it has been a hectic, chaotic, crazy year so far there are still things that you and myself should be thankful for. For instance a few of those things should be your Family, your friends, possibly a significant other, your career, and for the ability to have food.
