The best way to live our lives…

The way we want it, is to first see it in our own minds.

Once we see it in our own minds, we develop our thoughts, decisions and actions that will be in alignment with what we envisioned, helping us to guide our future.

We can’t create our future by seeing only the things we don’t want, we must see what we do want…to allow the “blueprints” to be made.

It’s not a burden…

It’s a gift.

A good reminder of this is the song “He’s not heavy, he’s my brother”.

So what do we have in our world that we perceive as a burden, but would be heartbroken if it were gone?

Our responsibilities of our work, having to deal with our family, our relationships or our friends?

We need to stay mindful of the responsibilities in our lives must not be, or become a burden…as everything in our lives is a gift – and some more valuable that others.

Tough Times…

And a tough economy? Join the club, and lets’ see how we can ride through tough terrain.

Let’s start by throwing off old baggage of self pity to lighten our load.

Let’s use some horse power of positive thinking and get some extra torque from inspiration.

Let’s put more love into our decisions and actions to allow for us to gain some additional help.

For however rough our terrain may be, we can always ride it out, using the opportunities that surround us.

We all lose…

And fail, it’s part of life.

We aren’t born to be 100% successful and it starts early… we know this from trying to take our first steps, as an infant.

We may not like to lose or fail, but both have a great deal to teach.

It teaches us to re-think our efforts, so we can attempt again or in another way, until we get it right.

So let’s all embrace a part of life that is one of the greatest teachers we can have. Because when we lose or fail, it even allows us to have “do-overs”, which is pretty sweet.

We need the bad…

To appreciate the good. Word.

We can’t always have good things happen or expect good things to be always coming our way, 100% of the time…it’s just not the way things roll.

We really do need some “bad” things to happen once in a while for us to really appreciate the good things that come into our life.

Not that we want to attract bad things, but just knowing that they are going to come around from time to time, and that we take them in stride, for they are the very things that can make us really appreciate the good.

So remember – the bad makes the good that much sweeter:)

If we really want to get something done…

All we need to do, is focus on it.
We’re not just meaning giving it some occasional attention, but to make it part of most every move we make and part of our vocabulary.

Just like Bubba, in the movie “Forrest Gump”. Where all he can think about is shrimp. He’s going to open a restaurant someday and everything is shrimp to him – barbecue shrimp. lemon shrimp, sidewalk shrimp, potato shrimp…that’s all he talks about.
So next time we really want to get something done, make sure our focus is part of everything we do, considering if it’s in alignment with what we want, and a part of who we are, and part of our talk?

Remember this type of focus – slow and steady – will help us achieve whatever we need to handle.
