A Stitch in Time

Happy Mother's Day, Everyone!

Today, we went to have Sunday Champagne Brunch at a nice community golf resort in Alhambra, CA.  Life seemed slow yet pleasant.  My mind was in the present moment.  Sometimes, I forget, in the constant hustle and bustle of everyday life.  But today was different and I am glad.

I'm so happy and grateful that my mom is still here with me.  Not everyone is this fortunate.  I've been blessed with a wonderful life.  No, it's not perfect and there are many challenges that I face, however, I appreciate all of it.  My mom is my motivation to strive for progress and achievement.

The type of business I'm in allows me to thrive when I grow myself and serve others.  When this happens enough, I will have time freedom, because I will have no money worries.  I want to show my mom the world and experience as much as I can with her while she still can.

Sometimes, I feel sad that one day I will have to say goodbye to her for the last time in this existence.  I want to know, when that day arrives, that in my heart that I did all I could to give her my best.  I have her in my heart when life gets tough and there seems no hope in sight.

There were people in my life that recently have become a grave disappointment, at best.  I still don't have the courage to forgive them.   Of course, this will take time.  In a way, I'm glad it happened, because it gave way for better people to enter into my life and brought my true friends and supportive family closer.  Anger can be a positive emotion when its energy is channeled towards doing good and creating success. After all, isn't that what Frank Sinatra called the best revenge?

I do this for my mom.  I can certainly use all the help I can get, like directing and controlling a powerful emotion, such as anger.  This must be done with caution since anger stems from fear.  Obviously, when I reach the point of time freedom, I will let it all go, for it's the mature thing to do.
