THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE

Good morning, everyone.  Happy Wednesday.  The world is a different place these days.  There is so much divisiveness due to a lack of understanding and an unwillingness to look at another viewpoint.  We are lucky that information is literally at our fingertips.  We can research almost anything we want and also believe anyone and anything we want which may or may not be a good idea.

Today's quote is, "Be anything except ignorant - ignorance is not bliss it is dangerous."  Don't pretend you know everything when you don't.  Learning should be a lifelong experience.  Danger comes into play when you make assumptions about things you don't know.  Danger comes into play when you think you know something but in reality, you have no idea.

We are all guilty of making assumptions based on what we heard, what we saw and

what we think but that too is a dangerous place to go.  Ignorance is easily solved by asking questions and leaving out assumptions.  Although it is said that ignorance is bliss, it is actually dangerous.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

TRAVELING FOR THE FUN OF IT

Good morning, everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  The world is a big place.  There is so much to see.  The best way to experience a different culture is to get on a plane to eat a croissant in France, slurp spaghetti in Italy or have a pint in Germany.  Traveling opens our eyes to a world we may never have known.  

Traveling can also be a form of running away but the problem is that when you come back, those same problems will still be there.  Today's quote is, "Travel to see the world not escape from it."  Disappearing is only a temporary solution.  

There are many different ways to travel.  Sleeping longer than normal.  Napping often.  Taking long drives and yes, leaving your home state or country but problems don't just vanish.  They are there to greet you upon your return.  

Travel often and travel safely.  Leave your running shoes at home.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

DOORMATS ARE FOR DOORS

Good morning, everyone and happy Thursday.  There is a difference between being accommodating and letting people walk all over you.  The people pleasers out there have a really hard time in their ability to distinguish between the two or at least acknowledge when it's happening.  Being overly adaptable can lead to being taken advantage of and those poor people pleasers are the ones who suffer.  

Today's quote is, "You are meant to walk on doormats not people, don't do it and don't allow it."    People pleasers struggle with this while the offenders know exactly what they are doing.  

Situations that require flexibility are part of life.  Things happen.  Schedules change.  We borrow money and forget to pay it back, or do we?  I was seeing if you were paying attention.  Of course, a good rule is never borrowing money from friends because it never ends well but if you are a borrower, pay it back.  Give it back, don't break it (and if you did, replace it!).  Respect someone's time, energy and possessions.  

Walk on doormats but never walk on people and never let anyone walk all over you!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy
