What we've got here is failure to communicate

Ever feel like you're trying to communicate something to someone and it feels like a war? Do you feel defensive? Like you have to protect yourself? What should you do? Stand your ground? Or find another way to communicate? Have you ever stepped back to think about how your message is being perceived by others? Maybe you should. That does not mean you are right or wrong. It just means that you might have to find another way to deliver your message so that the people listening will understand what you are trying to communicate. It's not the responsibility of your audience to understand your message. It's your responsibility to communicate your message in a way that your audience will understand.

"What we've got here is failure to communicate"

How many times can I break till I shatter?

How many times can I break till I shatter? 

Over the line can't define what I'm after 

I always turn the car around 

Give me a break let me make my own pattern 

All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered 

I always turn the car around

Shattered - O.A.R.

How many times have you ever felt like this? So broken? So shattered? And you keep going back to that place that broke you? Sometimes you just have to cut those ties and move forward... 

Your Life Tells a Story...

“Your life tells a story and there is someone out there who needs to hear it.  You may think you story is not sensational, but it does not have to be sensational it just has to be sincere.  If your audience can relate to you and your experiences, and chances are they will, then you need to tell them what you have been though share your life, share your love and share your message with the world.” 

–Mark Brown, 1995 World Champion of Public Speaking. 

Stronger

One thing you learn once you start studying physiology is that muscle strength is created by lifting weights, which creates tiny tears in the tissue. Within 48 hours after creating the tiny tears, they start to keloid, and become stronger. That is muscle strength: tearing and then becoming stronger. This parallels life. If we allow ourselves, we can become stronger in the very places we’ve been broken. (Paraphrased quote of Jane Fonda from “Oprah’s Master Class”.)

Strong

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have left
