It's great to live for the now but even better to plan for the future

When you look at life from a different perception it can sometimes turn out to be a great thing :)

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. My response: Due to the stage in my life the road I'm on has lots  forks in it. Though I have lots of decisions to make I feel like most of the time I make the right ones and when i don't I always try to look for a path to get on the right one again even if it takes a little longer my goal is to get back on the right path. My road  has some construction on it as I make mistakes and work  it out. It's being made for me and my life and not many others travel with me. My family and Justin are traveling with me helping me as I move the right way.  Ocaisionally we take different  paths of similar but different ways but we always come to the  same road for travel. I will have education though I'm not sure what  exactly for yet. That'll be just another fork to choose when it comes  my way when I'm ready to choose my turn when it comes. I plan for my own family and home not just a house. I want my existence  to be known not nessicarily for fame but for being known among my friends family and peers as a good person and someone people would  want to be. My road blocks have been many in my past but I  have always gotten through them. Though some have been quick  detours and others have taken a few recovery roads I've always  made it through. I have no doubt I'll have more in my future to work through but I know I can do it because I've done it before. When you take a wrong turn you learn how to go the right way and not the  wrong again.  Sometimes with a detour you see new things and  a good thing comes out of a bad. I'm going to work hard and try  my best, be my own perfection. That will ensure that my end of  the road will be a good life, one I wouldn't change or regret, one  where I dont wish I had done something but instead had. One with joy happiness art and love :)

And the Golden Rule.....Treat others how you wish to be treated

People will see you how you display yourself. If you display hard working ethics and good grades you look smart. If you display yourself as slacking off and sleeping in class you look like a bum. You can control how people look at you by the what you do. How you treat yourself helps too when you treat yourself well it encourages others to do the same.

"You can complain roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses" - Ziggy

Life will be how you perceive it. If you perceive it negative and just see the 'thorns' of life then life is looked through 'dirty' lenses and your not as pleased. But if you see it positively, that such an ugly painful thing can have such a beautiful thing on top (the flower) then you see life in a brighter better way. It's better to see that beautiful things can come out of ugly rather then ugly things ruin beautiful things. How we look at life is our choice but it's proven even trying to look at things in a better way changes how feel for the better. In the terms 'beautiful' and 'ugly' it doesn't just have to be how things look it can be how things feel and act too.
So see the flower as beauty and instead of the thorns being a bad thing view them as a protector for it's beauty.

"What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say"- Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's a great quote, kind of a deeper writing of the well known saying we're told as children, "Actions speak louder than words".The way you act around and toward people gives a much deeper impression then what you say. Your body language, facial expressions, (etc.) stick as a mental image. Usually words aren't remembered and it they are then not as well. Just something for us all to think about this week.
