The 34th President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, ~You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly.~ In some aspect, life can be compared to a row dominoes that at times can be a tough, as well as frustrating situation as a person works hard setting up something that most definitely takes enormous amounts of time, patience, and effort. Yet, all the hard work one puts into setting up the life he/she always wanted can all be easily knocked down or in this case toppled over not just by the hand of someone else, but from their own as well. If you think about it, each domino individually represents aspects of life each of us want to not have to fall to where we end up starting back at the beginning all over again.
As said before, life can be compared to a row of dominoes and when you're setting up you certainly want a steady hand in order to not let them fall. In a sense, when it comes to our own life each of us try to steady ourselves on something/someone solid as we go on about our business in hopes we don't end up being sabotaged or accidentally sabotaging ourselves to the point where we fall flat on our buttockal region. You see, one of the things that tends to metaphorically knock each one of us down inevitably ruining the awesome day/week/month we were thoroughly enjoying up to that particular point is drama. Essentially, drama is something you can never see coming in the game of life, so to speak, where one simple touch can teeter totter a situation/event/moment causing you to not only hold your breathe, but also experience a domino effect of emotions.
Without a doubt, we've all at some point become too focused at setting up dominoes that you alienated those around you because of selfishly wanting it done your way. Thinking about it, each and every person can get too focused in life to where it can become an absolute obsession especially when it comes to achieving professional goals. For its within those professional goals in which a new path is set up to follow filled with possible fame, fortune, and notoriety all-the-while veering off the original path one originally started out on leading one to gradually ignore the sound advice coming from friends/family. It's a sad situation indeed when a person is blinded by the intense focus of professional ambition leading all the people who lined up behind him/her being the helpful support system through the good and bad times to unfortunately fall back/out of his/her life one by one.
Let me ask you this question, have you ever been so close to accomplishing setting up all the dominoes you found yourself watching it all just fall? How did you feel when it happened? I think it would be safe to say you would feel shock, disappointment, annoyance, agitation, aggravation, frustration, and quite possibly anger. Oftentimes, it's those same feelings you experience in watching all the dominoes fall is in a sense the same feeling you get when it pertains to matters of the heart involving heartbreak. Every person has come so close in the past to hopefully being in a potential relationship with a certain special someone only to find out he/she doesn't feel the same about you. Let me tell you something, the joy, happiness, excitement, etc.are all completely knocked back leaving your heart in utter disbelief.
In retrospect, we all go about setting up the domino pieces in our own life that are deemed important. Marriage, family, friends, money, a thriving career, etc. are all what each one of us hold or would like to someday hold in our hand carefully placing them down one by one on something level and solid in hope it doesn't tip over. However, if you're not looking to God through constant prayer and the reading of his word to keep all the domino pieces steady He will continue to tip them over one by one until you do. God has lined up for us in terms of what was mentioned above and for a certain number of us it has come to fruition. In the end, He can look down with a smile on his face as he tips all the domino pieces of your life and all the hard work...all the pain, suffering, and frustration you went through...and all you truly deserve for your heart...it all falls down into place absolutely perfectly.

Watch Your Step
Jonathan Carroll once said, ~You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into you lover's arms comes only later when you're sure they won't laugh at you trip.~ As said before, you most definitely have to walk carefully in the beginning of love because a person overstep boundaries leaving one not only embarrassed, but considerably apologetic as well. Whether it's your words both spoken and unspoken or your actions the slightest mistake can inevitably stop you in your tracks towards experiencing true happiness. For its in the beginning of love in which personal space should exist in order to show that when it comes to matters of the heart you're willing to walk a slow, steady pace instead of rushing into things whereby stepping on his/her toes, so to speak, causing that person to "limp" in the relationship.
Without a doubt, walking at a slow, steady pace in the beginning of love initially helps in the process of a growing relationship. Every person has heard the saying that roughly goes: to know a person you must walk a mile in their shoes. In somewhat the same context, to truly get to know that special someone you must for all intents and purposes walk a mile in their heart. You see, being able to know someone on a more emotional level all-the-while giving him/her that much needed personal space to eventually be comfortable enough to share of his/her own free will special and/or difficult events/situations/moments of the past he/she doesn't normally share with anyone else without feeling as if they're being pressured into doing so. which is something that I dare say every woman wants to experience for themselves.
Oftentimes, there are people out there who aren't the type who walk carefully in the beginning of love as they are the type who steps up getting all up in your personal space. Thinking about it, you have to be a little creeped out when guys, as well as girls get a bit overzealous to say the least by doing certain things that are unorthodox such as talking about marriage, kids, planning each other's entire life way too early in the relationship. You see, there’s a fine line that every person walks when it pertains to what topics should and shouldn't be said in the beginning of what could be love to the point where if that line is crossed you end up looking like you're completely out of your mind. Hey, if you know someone or are in fact someone like this all I got to say to you is take a step back because the more you step on his/her toes the likelihood you'll end up with a foot up your arse.
Let me ask you this question ladies, would you rather have a guy walk carefully with you in the early stages of love or run with you full speed ahead throwing caution out the window, in a manner of speaking? If you think about it, it touches any woman when a guy is able to walk softly in her heart as he gets to know her before the physical aspect of the relationship happens leading to a much stronger relationship. Yet, its a sad situation indeed when the adrenaline rush a woman felt as she ran alongside a guy who had given her that thrilling excitement within her heart is gone because the physical aspect of the relationship became the primary incentive to run. Let me tell you something, I've read emails/listenedto/talked to a number of women who have taken the long walk of shame within their own heart and if done all over again they would have rather walked carefully than ran.
In retrospect, to walk carefully in the beginning of love is a venture that takes a lot of hard work, time and patience, especially with someone you care about with all your heart. For the question can be asked, how many of you have royally messed up in the past to the point where he/she walked out on you and you vowed to yourself to not make the same mistakes you did in the last relationship? It would be fair to guess it's difficult to do, but you persevered as it indeed took hard work, time and patience on your part because he's/she's absolutely worth walking a thousand miles for. However, you can't be too careful in love or you'll end up, in a sense, tripping over your own heart, which is what many have done a time or two or three. In the end, to those in the beginning stage of love I say to you, learn from your mistakes and watch your step because the times you do trip/fall can be a doozy.

Follow Me
Someone once said, ~Not the cry, but the flight of the wild duck leads the flock to fly and follow.~ In some aspect, love or true love for that matter can be compared to a flock of ducks flying up in the clear blue sky. For its a seemingly wondrous sight to behold to see a flock of ducks flying in absolute perfect formation to the point where you can't help but be in awe of how beautiful and majestic it truly is. To those who are in significantly strong relationships you in a way represent the flock of ducks who have been able to in all intensive purposes fly further than anyone could ever possibly imagine. Essentially, every person wants to experience for themselves a continually soaring love that is so beautifully majestic all aspects considered important in a relationship stick together when the oftentimes unpredictable climate/situations try to break what you both have apart.
If you think about it, we've all at some point stood firmly on the ground looking up at the sky watching a flock of ducks fly by. It can be a mesmerizing situation indeed to be standing there knowing a part of you wonders what it would be like to fly amongst the clouds. You see, when it comes to matters of the heart you want to be where those ducks are as you want to experience being a part of a beautifully majestic relationship with someone special, instead of just standing there looking up from within your heart wondering what it would feel like to be in their position. Hey, for those who are living the single life they're tired of having that feeling of being stuck on the ground in some sort of holding pattern and would like nothing more to spread one's wings in order to finally experience the feeling of true happiness.
Without a doubt, being able to witness a flock of ducks in perfect formation as they do the flying v is amazing. In a sense, the flying v is a representation of aspects in a relationship you want in perfect alignment whereby making the flight of love absolutely smooth. Commitment, trust, honesty, intimacy, communication, respect, friendship, etc. are aspects of love that inevitably help keep a relationship perfectly aligned or close to it to where you and that certain someone are nsync mentally, emotionally, as well as spiritually. However, there are situations where unpredictable forces of nature become obstacles leaving you absolutely frustrated, angry, bitter, cynical, disappointed, etc. and whether they be known or unknown they will try/have tried to break apart the strong, solid v-like formation in order to throw the love you share with each other completely of course.
Let me ask you this question to those in potential and/or significant relationships, have you ever experienced or are currently experiencing the dastardly hunter known as drama who tried to/is trying to "shoot" your relationship down? I think it would be safe to say there are people out there who are hiding in plain sight waiting for the perfect opportunity to lock in their scope, in a manner of speaking, in order to target a particular guy/girl who is in an excellent relationship. A best friend, brother, sister, a co-worker, an acquaintance, etc. are just a plethora of people who may possibly be lying in wait with fire power in hand to secretly keep you from going the distance. For a certain number of people they unfortunately have encountered being winged while others have found themselves in an all out assault in trying to bring down their relationship by any means necessary.
In retrospect, there is a saying that goes birds of a feather flock together and that is a true statement as you will meet someone or already have met someone who is flying in the same direction you are. How many of you can say you have a guy/girl in your life who physically sticks with you through gusty winds that blow extremely hard at times in a relationship. A guy/girl who leads you safely through the utter darkness and into the light at the other end when you're lost mentally and emotionally. A guy/girl who spiritually guides you knowing that when all else fails he/she shows you praying faithfully to God helps keep you on the straight and narrow. In the end, when you do meet this person who you're totally quakers for...sorry I had to do it... and he/she says follow me you won't be scared at where you're flying to because you know in your heart you're forever safe with him/her.

I Love You Came Too Late
Someone once said, ~People so seldom say I love you and then its either too late or love goes. So when I tell you it doesn't mean I know you'll never go, only that I wish you didn't have to.~ Let me ask you this question, how many of you out there were at some point in a relationship with a guy/girl you considered to be "the one that got away?" For it’s that person you deeply regretted not saying I love you to and not sharing within your heart what you didn't have the courage to say to him/her when opportunities presented themselves in the relationship. I think it would be safe to say that some of you possibly have someone in mind as you're reading this to where so many memories that have been tucked away, so to speak, in the back of your heart come flooding back, which are painfully depressing in a good way of course.
Without a doubt, every person possibly has a story of "the one that got away" and by their own stupid mistake let him/her slip right through one's own fingers, in a manner of speaking. Thinking about it, one can most definitely experience feeling the blues when reflecting back on that certain someone in the past who you supposedly cared for with your heart. The color of his/her eyes, the sound of his/her voice, the way he/she laughed, the way he/she smiled are just some of the things that a guy/girl is never able to forget as they're considered a haunting reminder of what he/she could have held on to now, but instead it was all lost because he/she could never really bring himself/herself to say those three important words that he/she has been waiting, as well as, wanting to hear for quite some time.
As said before, there are certain people who can never really bring themselves to say I love you leading his/her potential/significant other to become absolutely frustrated to the point where he's/she's sick and tired of waiting for those three words to come out of your mouth. Why? I think what it comes down to is that he/she may not have been certain as of yet if those three words were just that...words. It's a sad situation indeed when a person simply goes through the motions of saying I love you knowing full well they're not just lying to their potential/significant other, but also to himself/herself as well. You see, for any girl or guy for that matter you want the words I love you to mean to have true meaning as they in all intents and purposes pierce deeply into your heart in such a person and emotional way you don't question it.
For the question can be asked, if it were humanly possible would you go back in Quantum Leap type way to fix the wrong and make it right concerning "the one that got away" essentially erasing all your past yesterdays? If you think about it, being able to change the past when it pertains to matters of the heart is a leap many would not pass up on but unfortunately life doesn't work that way. It's tough for any person to deal with the regret of not opening their eyes in time as he/she didn't wake up to the signs of the lack of attention that he/she gave to that certain someone whereby putting him/through an all out mental, as well as, emotional rollercoaster inevitably pushing him/her away little by little. Oftentimes, the words I love you followed by a genuinely remorseful I'm sorry weren't enough to rekindle what once was as painful as losing him/her again hurts twice as much.
In retrospect, when it comes to "the one that got away" a smile can appear on your face as you know he/she was the one person who knew you better than you knew yourself. Plus it's this particular person who could see through all your bs and has that innate ability to have you open yourself up leaving you not only scared but vulnerable. Hey, it's a fear that every person has faced, is facing, or is going to face and whether you stay in order to conquer the fear or run away completely because you're scared he's/she's going to leave you first is all up to you. In the end, to those who are in a potential/significant relationship don't be afraid/put off saying out loud what's in your heart or you'll end up looking back at past regrets because the words I love you came too late, which is a song by solo artist/NKOTB member Joey McIntyre that best reflects this thought.

Shake and Bake
Dale Earnhardt Jr. once said, ~Target is to run as good as you can every week. Everything else takes care of itself. We just got to go out there and race as hard as we can, take the car we got, do the best we can with it every week.~ In some aspect, life can in a sense be like racing in NASCAR as each of us are in a way going head to head against not only friends, but also adversaries as well vying for that proverbial checkered flag being waved in our favor when experiencing victories that considered to be either small or huge. For the checkered flag is a representation of our hopes, dreams, goals, true happiness, etc. that most definitely motivates one to give it all he's/she's got in order to follow closely behind the person in front of you, stay side by side, or possibly be the leader of the pack.
Let me ask you this question, when it comes to being on the track of life are you strapped in, revved up, and have your game face on similar to that of the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt Sr? Thinking about it, NASCAR is a sport that is all about facing overwhelming challenges as a driver works his/her way to establish himself/herself as THE best or one of the best drivers in the game. You see, you have to have that competitive spirit in you and exude a winner's mindset or you'll end up feeling absolutely frustrated for always seemingly coming so close to victory ala JD McDuffie. In any case, that is how many of us are/should be when it pertains to our professional lives as we work hard day in and day out doing the best job one possibly can in hope of adding to our own individual point standings of life receiving a well deserved reward in the process such as a promotion.
Without a doubt, in any NASCAR race there will always be potential problems for a driver that either need to be fixed, cut/ripped off, or pounded out/in to make the car run better. It's at that point, a driver pulls into pit row where one's personal pit crew tries their very best to keep you in the race, so to speak. If you think about it, it's comforting to know whenever we suffer damages/breakdowns in a mental, physical, emotional, and/or spiritual way you can count on your pit crew of best buds/gal pals who can try their very best to in all intensive purposes help pound out/fix, in a manner of speaking, whatever problems/difficulties you may be experiencing on any given day. Let me tell you something, to have a pit crew you can truly trust who knows you so well inside and out to the point where they will not let you down when you need them the most.
For the question can be asked, what is the one thing that every driver needs to help guide them through not jut well planned pit strategies, but also to victory lane if/when a win happens? For any die hard NASCAR aficionado, having a great crew chief on your team is one of the most important aspects to have as he is the quintessential glue that holds the team together. Essentially, the crew chief that holds all of us together is God and just like a driver is able to communicate with the main man by way of a headset we are able to communicate by praying to Him. Oftentimes, we can lose our composure when we feel like we're being blocked in on all 4 side to where we find ourselves at a complete disadvantage leading us to lose our composure and that is when we go to the Lord in prayer when we're faced with obstacles we think are sometimes absolutely unpassable.
In retrospect, life can be a heart pumping 200 plus mph adrenaline rush where you will/currently are experiencing times of ending up against the wall/part of a multiple car wreck either by your own stupid mistake or by someone else's fault to where you're temporarily knocked out of the race possibly suffering a mental, emotional, and/or physical injury. It can be a difficult situation indeed to strap yourself back in experiencing doubt as to whether or not you're ready, especially when it involves matters of the heart. Ultimately, you just have to take each race day by day as you knowingly or unknowingly will suffer mental, emotional, physical, and/or spiritual dents/dings/scratches you know you can overcome as you have the best pit crew by your side. In the end, leave everything on the track of life as you give it 110% knowing someday you will shake and bake towards victory lane with a checkered flag in hand.
