Rip and Real - Day Thirty
The idea that life was meant to be easy was planted in our heads through fiction and fantasy. Think about it. Was it easy to learn how to walk, tie our shoe, or ride a bike? Did we get bruises and bumps along the way, as we learned? Did we get frustrated? What about learning how to talk? How many temper tantrums did we throw because adults couldn't understand what we wanted them to do to make our lives easier?

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Nine
Have you ever noticed, time just keeps doing it's thing. It keeps ticking away regardless of what the rest of the world is doing. One tick forward at a time. What if we applied this to ourselves? When the world seems to be in chaos are we able to continue to take one step forward at a time?

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Eight
Let's get real for a moment. We all have a bit of crazy in us. We all have our idiosyncrasies which can drive other nuts about us, and can even at times drive ourselves nuts. There are times in our lives, when being a bit crazy and taking risks and chances might be what we need. It is those times, when we need to get out of our comfort zone and do something, which causes many... including ourselves to shake our heads in disbelief.

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Seven
It is during the times when the storms of life come, that we need to learn to harness the power of the wind. Every storm in life has the power of destruction or the power to propel us forward. It all depends on how we set our sails and if we choose to stay the course.

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Six
When the storms of life come rolling it, it is time to seek shelter. As we watch the downpouring of life, it is easy to get discouraged and stop believing the storm will pass. It is in these times, the greatest sacrifice we will make in our lives, is sacrificing what could be, because we stopped believing in ourselves when it became hard.

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Five
In a world where shouting and arguing has become the normal way to communicate, it is more important than ever to improve our communication skills. Far too many are more interested in listening to themselves talk, than to listen to another point of view. The verbal altercation has become a contest of wit, to prove another person wrong. It is a mental and verbal battle of wit, which can often extend into a physical battle. But, it always begins with the thoughts of the mind.

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Four
Our strongest relationship we have in our life, should be with ourselves. Unless we can understand ourselves, we will have difficulty in understanding how to interact with others. Until we understand our thought process, our emotional reaction to life, and what engages our body into action, we will struggle with self-commitment and self-motivation.

What we consume affects our health. Whether this be our physical or mental health, our consumption plays a critical part of in maintaining our health. What are we consuming physically, mentally, and spiritually?

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-Two
Far too many of us have been taught that to think of ourselves, is selfish. I would like to challenge that philosophy. Unless we take the time to fully understand yourself and our value, we can struggle with understanding how to value and take care of others. We must show our ability to give, and we must first, practice on ourselves.

Rip and Real - Day Twenty-One
Life can be bitter hard at times. It is in the hardest of times, we gain our greatest strengths. But those who are truly strong, are the ones who don't allow themselves to become bitter and hard.

Rip and Real - Day Twenty
In our journey of life, individuals will come and go. Each individual which comes into our lives, comes to bring us a life experience to help us to grow. The time they spend with us, may or may not as long as we desire. Once we understand the concept of appreciating the experience, rather than trying to control it, we open up a pathway to understanding relationships.

Rip and Real - Day Nineteen
There are times in our lives when hopes and dreams seem to shatter on the ground. When actions of another, seem to cause turmoil in our lives where we don't know if we have the strength to overcome. There are times, when our own action cause what we have worked towards to slip away from our fingertips.
