Three Simple Rules In Life

Lindsays Grandma — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 04:10:40 GMT

1. If you don't GO after what you want, you'll never have it.

2. If you do not ASK, the answer will always be NO.

3. If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place.

Other words to ponder...

It's your road and yours alone, others may walk with you, but no one can walk it for you.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationship we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

That's a good post. Could I add another "thought to ponder"?

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll never know when you get there." This has to do with setting goals and making plans, whether it's for your life, for your job, your family. If you know where you want to go, it will be easier to enjoy the journey.

- Plan every step and you will be limited by your own knowledge and imagination.

It's the times when I wasn't sure where I was headed that I ended up in places better than I ever could have planned or imagined.

So often in my life- esp in my career - people would tell me how ""lucky"" i was to be a nurse. I always answered that luck had nothing at all to do with it. I wanted to be a nurse and did the hard work to get it. I never understand why people think that others are just given things - you have to know what you want and work to get it. I think this is why some people spend their whole lives wishing for what they don't have - either they don't know what they really want or they aren't willing to do what it takes to get it.

You don't always get what you want but you always get what you need.

If that were true we would not have homeless sleeping in doorways and eating out of dumpsters would we? We would also not have people so desperately in need of mental health care that they commit suicide. Or a hundred thousand people stuck on a mountain top starving and dying of thirst in Iraq.
