Your Life Lessons - Yield

Yield  - to give way to arguments, demands, or pressure, give up the struggle, lay down one's arms, raise/show the white flag.

In life, we need to yield, occasionally.  From forest vs trees, to battles vs. wars - the decision in life is to decide which is best for you.  Sometimes there are so many choices.  Making no decision is your decision.  That is where we get stuck, where baggage forms, where so much time is used to accomplish nothing.  Or is that really true?  Does the world around you change enough that your inaction allowed you to make a better decision that could have been made?

Today it is lots of questions - today I am yielding in order to let some events happen and then one of my choices will have more information - then it will be easier.

How do you Yield?

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

 A game played by many adults - what a waste of time two times over.  

First they play the game, they woulda done something, coulda done something or shoulda done something - and they didn't.  Second they are using the present time to play the game instead of doing something today.

It astounds me that we would give up precious time on something that could not be changed and doing nothing to make today better.

Today is a new day --- this now moment --- do something - a suggestion - be kind to yourself!

Cute poem - thanks to Shel Silverstein:

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done...
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little did.

-Shel Silverstein
