Discernment
Discernment is a word that we should pay more attention to. We all say we don’t have time. Discernment will free us up from being “busy”, to spend time on the important things. Is it more important to watch that TV or spend time with our children one on one; finishing that project that you are going to get to tomorrow; calling your parents just to say I love you; spending some cuddle time with that significant other?
Doubts
“Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself. You may be surprised at how easily this happens. Your doubts are not as powerful as your desires, unless you make them so.” – Marcia Wieder

Mask
When we are young we learn how to be a good girl or boy. Were you the perfect child or did you learn how to hide and not attract attention to yourself? Or maybe you became the family jokester? Today take off the mask you wear to be accepted by others and be true to yourself. The mask mutes the real you, whose vibrant color needs to be seen to complete the picture of our world.
Remarkable
Will you make the decision to be remarkable? You can’t be anyone else as everyone else is taken – you can only be remarkable when you are 100% yourself. You are 1 of a kind and that is remarkable. You were given great gifts & if you hide them by trying to be someone else, your gifts are missing from our world. So, will you make the decision to shine out who you really are and let us all admire your bright light?
Nothing
“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.” – Leo F. Buscaglia
Life is all about the love and laughter and is made all the sweeter by the occasional sorrow!
Bridges
We can turn those places that we now see as being impassible barriers to our happiness into bridges to our greatest accomplishments. Everything we see in a negative way is there to be our teacher. Look back at some of your hardest lessons and you will find that they turned into the bridges; giving you the necessary skills to live a happier life.
Facing Fear
“You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your
mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the
mind.” – Dale Carnegie.
I remember when they started requiring self serve at the gas station, I was scared to pump my own gas, once I did it, I thought how stupid to have that fear – they are really all like that. When you face your fear you wonder why you ever had it!
Wrong Road
Stuck traveling down the wrong road? In a job that has you boxed in on the slow lane? Is it keeping you in 1st gear & not challenging you?
Sometimes it’s not the car; it’s the road the car is on. If you are not using your special gifts and passions with your work, maybe it is time to drive down a new road with curves and steep downhill grades that give your heart an extra beat and challenge you to new growth.
Baby Steps
“Keep on going & the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.” – Charles F. Kettering.
Everyday doing a small thing to accomplish your goals will move you forward on your dreams . Baby steps to your next bright idea to help you skip a couple of steps and shoot the rapids bringing one more dream into reality.
Sail
We have disappointments & challenges. We all have experienced (in spite of our best plans) life just falling apart. The real difference is how we handle the storm or in terms of sailing, how we set the sail. If we look at it with the right attitude then we sail through the storm, a little battered but we make it. If we look at it with the wrong attitude, the sky is falling, we sink.
Improvement
From the Gratitude Log today I got the quote: “Aim for a 1% improvement every single day.” Thinking about this reminds me that we look at a change that we want to make and get overwhelmed by the entirety of it. But 1% is a very small number and we can do that. So if I lose 1% of the weight that I want to lose each week, I can acheive that goal much easier than thinking about the whole enchilada!
