Sunshine, Espresso and Van Halen stripes

Good morning, friends!

Sunshine, some espresso, mini champ, and the black/white EVH stripes today.

Do you believe everyone at face-value or do you notice what kind of fruit they bear? Think about this.

This is a difficult one for people to sometimes handle.
If I said to you, "Hey, there's an apple tree in the back yard. Can you please go pick some apples from it?" You go out to the tree in the back yard and there aren't any apples to pick from the tree. So, you return with 0 apples, and maybe even a little disappointment. But every day, I ask the same thing, "can you please get some apples from that tree?" The trick here is that it's not actually an apple tree; I only said it was.

But, quickly you become normalized that it should be giving you apples, but only because I've either implied it and/or said it directly--repetitively. And for a long time, you're under the impression that maybe someday, just maybe, you'll bring back some apples, but they're never there. Soon, resentment may set in.
Ignorance means you simply accept or don't know what kind of tree it actually is regardless of what people say it is & hope keeps you going back to the tree.

Today's Thought: Watch for what people say they are and the fruit they actually bear. It may save you a few trips going to the tree to find some apples.

Make your day incredible and lead with love and integrity. xo

About

Good day to all of you, fellow Steemit people! As mentioned in my intro post, I'm an avid coffee junkie, guitarist, amp builder, etc. But something that sets me apart from the pack is the fact that on a daily basis, I post positivity. The Internet is abound with negativity and it certainly can take its tolls on those that read/see it. My contributions daily are an attempt to shine light in the darkness, help others, and bring quick observations and philosophies to the table that perhaps, will help you also. We're on this journey together, so check in and be well.
