Live Life Intentionally



  1. Everything changes and ends
  2. Things do not always go according to plan
  3. Life is not always fair
  4. People are not always loving and loyal
  5. Pain is part of life.

1: I always think of Wayne's World when I think of change.  "We fear change."  I like to stick to a routine but the changes that have been made over the year by myself and by others have been okay.  Subtle change is the best change- I think.
2: Tonight for instance, I flipped out because Kevin was in the shower still when I got to his house.  Like, why couldn't he take a shower before I even told him I was leaving my house to Newport.  But you know what, it's okay.  I survived, and we weren't late for anything, the movie theatre was still there.  I got my point across on how it can come off as lazy- whatever it's in the past.  Things don't go to accordingly, but no one dies.
3: Life isn't fair.  People die when you're not ready for them to.  People break up with you and you can't even plead your case anymore because they've already made up their mind.  Asian's don't know how to tip. (not racist.)
4: Everybody has been hurt by another person.  Everybody always thinks of themselves first and that is the way that it should be.  People can be on the wrong page with each other and that is how people get hurt.  What I'm getting at is what one person may think is the right thing to do, another could disagree entirely..
5: I don't think people can appreciate happiness and joy if they haven't experienced pain and sadness.

Yeah, well I just found out about this book.  I haven't read it yet but I am going to.  I like the theme.  I think the idea of living with intention.  Unintentional actions (gaining weight, being late, etc.) happen because of subconscious thoughts... which are intentional in their own way... so why not always be aware of your actions at all times?

& Something that I've heard all my life but I finally realized that it was a good thing is:  Don't make decisions  when you're upset.
