Glee Star Departs: Cory Monteith kicks the bucket

The passing of popular TV series “Glee” star Cory Monteith who played the role of Finn Hudson in the show came as a shock to not only Hollywood or his parents or his girlfriend and co-star of Glee “Lea Michele” who plays Rachael but also to the world at large.

Everyone who watches glee is a fan of Finn and as soon as the news broke out about his death the whole world was in disarray.

I am myself horrified at the tragic news!

Amid all this, I gleaned a little insight: If you do not take advantage of the opportunities that life presents to you to pursue your life-long dreams, you may never live to see them again. What if "Finn" was never seen in Glee?

You don't have a spare life, make the most of this one life you have. Make all the mistakes you can, take all the opportunities you can, be all you can be!

LOVE IN TOKYO

It is no longer in vogue, but back in the early 1990’s this was the thing! Whenever a guy and a girl were playing love on the roadside, rather than say they are so in love, the expression was “see love in Tokyo”.

I am not a hard core relationship specialist, but I have some experience and some really profound insight about relationship matters, one of which I want to share with you. We all experience painful moments particularly caused by those that we trusted wholeheartedly. There are many ladies whose hearts bleed continuously because of a beloved who was unfaithful. Many guys carry deep-seated hurt caused by a girl who betrayed their trust. The danger I have so often found is that the aggression and hurt is transferred to other innocent individuals who come the way of these wounded lions and tigers. Without knowing the graveness of their emotional state, they destroy potentially beneficial relationships because of past hurt and negative experiences.

My word to you if you are in this state is to look beyond the experience. You cannot claim to be going forward with your concentration on your rear. You are bound to crash! Take your eyes off the past. Hard as it may seem, it is beneficial for you to progress in life. Bitterness is like holding on to a tree and asking the tree to let go of you. You have to let go, else you may miss out on the real treasure you seek.

If the whole world is cruel, there will always be an exception that perfectly suits you. The day I found that perfect exception, I knew the pain was worth the while. Why do I say this? My emotions had been tried and I had mastered them. See these painful experiences as opportunities to become better in preparation for that special person that will sweep you off your feet.

There is always an exception that perfectly suits your individuality; prepare by first taking your eyes off the past. Next, develop yourself to become such a desirable person. Finally, wait patiently for that special person to cross your path. Listen carefully to the lyrics of this song from Glee; it says “You are the only Exception!”

There is always an exception!

You are an Icon!

To your emotional effectiveness,
