Itโ€™s the actions and words that come my way, especially when they donโ€™t match who I truly am, that cause conflict. Those are the falsified fabricators.

Common sense is having the ability to comprehend and understand the actions people display and the words they say to me. Itโ€™s about being mindful, considerate, and respectful of others until they give me a reason not to be. I donโ€™t get upset for no reason. Itโ€™s the actions and words that come my way, especially when they donโ€™t match who I truly am, that cause conflict. Those are the falsified fabricators. Common sense is knowing myself. Itโ€™s knowing who I am, what I stand for, what Iโ€™m capable of, and what I will and wonโ€™t accept in my life or around my family. Itโ€™s living with awareness, protecting myself and my loved ones from harm, and taking life seriously because I only get one shot. I am the star of my own movie, the author of my own book. Itโ€™s up to me how it plays out. Common sense means making home my top priority and setting positive goals for my family. Itโ€™s having tunnel vision for success, staying focused on my purpose, and remembering that every action brings a reaction, good or bad. Itโ€™s valuing my life by not wasting it, being a leader, and climbing my mountain of success without letting anyone or anything stop me. I wonโ€™t postpone my mission. The world is my stage, so I perform to my fullest.
