A king would rather be feared than liked.

That was because he had a captive audience.

But today, a King would rather be liked than feared.

This is because his audience has choices.

You are Royalty…are you keeping up with the changing times?

When we have the mindset that the time for everything is Now, we can get anything done.

Putting things off to tomorrow, will not get it done today.

What we don’t do today, will be coupled with the things we should get done tomorrow.

And over time, we will have yesterdays tasks, and today’s jobs pushed well into our dreams for our future.

So let’s all make time today, to do what needs to be done…after all…thinking about it, sometimes takes more time than doing it.

Sure, we all have been distracted before.

But, occasionally our focus stays on the distraction long after the distraction is gone.

Someone cuts you off in traffic, or is rude in the grocery store…each scenario is short, and they are in and out of our lives in less than 5 minutes.

So why do they stay in our head for the rest of the day, coloring our every thought and action?

Answer that question correctly and you’ve solved the puzzle.

Than our self image…It would be nice, but it just doesn’t happen that way.

Our self image governs what we do, and if we attempt to do something that is better than we think we are, we subconsciously know it is better, and we will do everything in our power to bring it back down to where “we” are, or we sabatoge our efforts.

This is a simple “loop” that we all subconsciously create that satisfies our self image.

So we need to raise our self image first, and then what we do, will help to take our life to the “Next Level”.

A lot to teach, and that is why we should take the good and the bad with a learning approach.

We don’t always get things right the first time, that lesson started for all of us when we learned to walk.

And experience comes over time…”we can’t put an old head on new shoulders”.

Remember that, and we can all smile when we have to do a “do-over”.

The sweeter the juice.

Yes, since things mature over time and with age, they can be harvested to bring out the maximum desired results.

But in today’s society, the “McDonald’s” factor of wanting it now and demanding a forced result before it’s ready, often times, makes us “pick it” before it’s ripe.

We must be patient for all good things to come to be, at it’s own pace, and not ours – otherwise we can’t harvest all that there can be.

The Latin phrase “Pauca sed matura” meaning “Few but ripe” is all that we need to remember.
