Living in the moment... One day at a time

Why do we look back or ahead of time instead of focusing on what we can do right now?

Why are we so eager to bring up the past or future... instead of looking at the here and now 

We make plans and we think back on the plans we've made before to say this works for me or this doesn't- We never seem to be in the actual moment of deciding whats right for us and what isnt but still using our knowledge from before - but being able to take a step back and not re live every moment in the past. The future is unknown and we need to do things in the present to lay down the foundation for the future. 

The Daily Grind

I am a city full of people - sometimes I am loud and noisy like on a busy street -
other times I am as quiet and peaceful like the wind rushing through the trees.

I am at times Dark and rainy other times - I am Bright and sunny

The daily Grind Can bring you down the daily grind can also bring you up

People who you learn live and laugh- People who are all around just evil

The Daily grind can seem like just another day- but its small moments and small words of wisdom that make the biggest difference.

How to reach those dreams

Small steps for me to take everyday to better myself and reach those dreams would be -
Going for walks with my dog, studying, eating right and looking for a new apartment knowing that my children will come to me when they are old enough I am able to focus on building a foundation where one day we can live as a family in the house by the lake I always dream about. :)

My mentor

My mentor is my mother Elaine, even though we don't always see eye to eye its the fact she doesn't want me to give up and see me fail at life, she knows when I'm trying and when I'm not and her words during tough times. The funny thing is her words are always with me even when we haven't officially talked in years - things like - The choices you make whether they are good or bad will affect you - or Get your education and a job for yourself, never let a man be the one who has the control in case something happens you need to rely on yourself.
its with these types of sayings that keep me level and grounded and although my mom and I aren't talking I know she would be proud of the steps I have taken :)

Finding a mentor

I have a few good friends who are older and wiser and overall have a lot of experience  in life having themselves  gone thought the same issues as a younger person - their guidance prevents you from making the same mistakes. The right mentor will never steer you in the wrong direction. :)
