“Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.”


               One of the keys to life is understanding “life is what you make it”. In life many of us are trying to discover who we are and what a life is. The truth is “life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.” It’s about discovering what we’re capable of and learning from our challenges in life to evolve into the person we inspire to be.
               Whether we realize it or not, every choice we make shapes us into who we are.  It’s up to us if we decide to change our eating habits or exercise.  It’s our decision to stand and fight or walk away. It’s you alone who decides to face the things you’re unhappy with in your life and change them or just except them.
 Bottom line, every choice we make, every challenge we face, it’s how we choose to handle each moment in our lives that creates the person you see in the mirror each day.
                I believe if you view your life as an everlasting lesson of life, you’ll focus less on the problems and more on the solutions to every challenge you face. What we need to do is embrace each problem in life, good or bad, to find the meaning behind it and allow it to become an opportunity to grow as a human being.
With this in mind, you can learn more from your experiences and make the choices that help create the person you want to be, and not let your surroundings make the decision for you.
so “Life isn't about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.”

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine


The meaning is easy to understand. If something needs attention, do it now, rather than wait until the situation becomes progressively worse and finally out of control. This will result in requiring much more attention than would have been the case if it had been addressed immediately.
Why stitches and why nines? Most sources refer to stitches as in knitting, sewing or needlepoint. If you drop one and do not fix it immediately, you will have to redo your work later. The Nine still not identified. Some say it takes 9 stitches before you realize one has been dropped, others say it takes nine times longer. No matter, there is no consensus that I could find.Put into plain words, if you have a tear in your shirt and it can be fixed with one stitch, do it. 
If you don’t, the tear will get bigger and later need many more stitches. So, do not procrastinate. End of story.( Oftentimes easier said than done. I have great respect for people that do everything now...even though it could have been done a little later...)
