Happy Fathers Day, to all the DAD's!!

June 15, 2014

Just like to wish all the dads in this world a happy fathers day. It is a day that was meant for us, a day to enjoy our kids, family and all you have worked so hard to accomplish. Today is suppose to be our day, time for us to shut down the brain, and not think about anything.

Unfortunately, it does not happen that way all the time, we still deal with obstacles, that should have been avoided. Relationships have them moments, just how it is!

We all have happy moments of our favorite fathers day, the day you were made out to feel like a "king." Wow, that actually felt good, and very enjoyable. Some of us are having this type of day, and you have earned it.

Sometimes dads do not get the respect they need, but we are dads we get from them, we forgive and move on. We have the ability to not make things complicated if avoided-able. We have enough stress to deal with, meeting our monthly financial obligations. Not taking anything away from the mothers, many very highly successful women, who never had to rely on this type of obligation or support.

Had to certainly get that one in the opening, for the simple reason, that relationship works best on the power of two. When you have that in your the relationship, it makes good sense, providing you with sound advice on each other.

Most relationships fail for them simple reasons, lack of attention, financial obligations, commitments, kids, and so many other logical or perhaps non-logical reasons. Either way, it just happens, all we can do is watch. How we prepare our minds for this type of mindset, is a totally different topic.

I have always believed in these's words, "Legacy is more important then Currency." When l heard them words being used, l fell in love with that concept. Told me life is a learning curve daily, never forget that! Just how fast and complicated life has become, regardless of who or what you have.

This is supposed to be a special day, and you know it will always be, one for all us dad's, just like mothers day has been and always will be. God, we ask for only one day of the year to be "Special." You know l lost my dad, and so have many of you, but we understand sweet memories will never die. My mom is not in really good condition should have happened but she is still hanging in. Without water, foods, or artificial modifications of keeping her alive, other than her will for the last 7 days.

This article is for all of us who deal with what many of us deal with, not only on a special day but daily. Life is what you make it be, not a really hard concept to understand. Some of us handle obstacles, stress, emotions, feelings better than many. All you need is the correct mindset, that is what keeps my focus, like many of you also.

Hey if we stay away from a negative mindset, we will truly have what our minds thinks, we will achieve it. Steps that will happen, for one reason; we wanted them to appear! The word "think," is the best investment you will ever invest in. When you make your decisions, you have no one else to point figures at.


                                                          
This is how I remember my dad.

The Story of The Boy Who Wanted to Buy a Puppy.

October 5, 2011

I came across this short story of the kid who wanted to buy a puppy, but he wanted a special puppy. I found this to be a fascinating and unbelievable lesson to be learned, from this young man. I just had to share it, with all of us here.

One day an eight-year-old boy went to the pet store with his dad to buy a puppy. The store manager showed them to a pen where five little furry balls huddled together.

After a while, the boy notices one of the litter all by itself in an adjacent pen. The boy asked. "Why is that puppy all alone?"

The manager explained, "That puppy was born with a severe leg and would be crippled for life, so we're going to have to put him to sleep,"

"You're going to kill this little puppy?" the boy said sadly while patting it. "You have to realize that this puppy would never be able to run and play with a boy like you."

After a short conversation with his boy, the dad told the manager that they wanted to buy the puppy with the bad leg. "For the same amount of money, you could have one of the 'healthy' ones, Why do you want this one?"

To answer the manager's question, the boy bent over and pulled up the pants on his right leg, exposed the brace underneath and said, "Mister, l want this one because l understand what he's going through."

How many of us would have reacted like this young man, strange that things have to happen to us before we can accept people for who and what they are we do have a lot to learn from one another.

All the Best,
