When Things Aren't Happening

Learning to be “ok” with where you are right now is a skill that we have to remind ourselves to embrace. It is easier to get lost in the day’s activities and feel that we have achieved very little at the end of the day.

 

I do believe that the older we get, we may get more frustrated or even depressed that we may “never” find the perfect mate, the job we have always wanted, or wonder if we will ever have the opportunity to make the amount of money we are told that we will need, if we are going to be able to successfully retire. But the reality is that you don’t know that to be true.

 

If you believe that “like attracts like” and the energy we put forward will be the same kind of energy that will be attracted to us, then you should always remain positive. You have to put yourself in situations where positive people are. You have to get out of your own way and try new things. You have to persevere.

 

Is it easy? Not necessarily. Does it take time? Absolutely. You can choose where you want to spend your time. Let us know what you are aiming for. 2014 is right around the corner. It is going to be your year! Believe that. Write it down and put it on your bathroom mirror. Write yourself a note that says: 2014 is going to be MY year, and say it out - loud 10 times a day! You are amazing!  You have the power!  “Now, let’s get going!”  xo Sally

Sally's Spotlight

  • The Relationship Between Humans And Loud Music
    While out walking our dogs with a neighbor on a warm, autumn Sunday morning, we discussed plans for the day. She mentioned she and her husband were going to the theater that evening to hear a New Orleans jazz trombone player and his ensemble. My husband’s ears perked up, as…

Legal Corner

  • What is a probate and why do I want to avoid it?
    Many times, clients come into my office stating that they need to have Last Will and Testaments done and at the same time, they tell me they want to avoid probate of their estate after they die.
