Good day end Happy Friday everyone! The end of the week and the start of the weekend is almost here, and I hope you have some good things planned. The weather here has a chill with some chance of flurries but only a 45 degree high. It happens!
I wanted to focus on two words today to focus on and ask yourself.
I like to write about how we all can "Make a Difference", first in our own lives and personal development and then turn into helping others and improve their state of being.
Sometimes when we help others of course the person helped the most is ourselves. We gain a sense of accomplishment and contribution which own its own stimulates our growth.
The two words:
What If ?
These words are often used to focus on the past, regrets and how things could or should have been. The context often is empty, and long for change that stands still, thats not the context I want to speak about today.
My vision and my mission is always to take our thoughts to a hope of possibility. To focus on gratitude for things we have know makes our future moments that much easier to grasp or should I say allow to flow in our direction.
What if instead of chasing our dreams we allowed our dreams to chase and catch us?
We often get wrapped up in the race of life, chasing what others have taught us. We go to sporting events pay over priced #1 fingers to put on our hands and shout and scream for nothing less than to be #1. We go to the earliest grade of school, scratch that pre school and day care and tell our kids how they should be better than the boy or girl over there.
What if instead of forcing others to conform to our ideals we tried to understand their ideals?
How many wars do we fight, arguments do we shout over just to get our ideas and beliefs onto a person across the way. We shout over them and their words try to out maneuver our words, constant battle. We often agree to disagree and walk away but yet often worse we battle on. Wasting valuable resources and love amongst the greatest resource just to push upon our idea of right and wrong.
What if we have the best things in life right now and yet turn that deck of cards over to someone else?
So many times we use our resources and discard them way before there life is done. They could be a solid item or one of pure imagination but we give up just when the idea was to develop and spread its wings. We often, you and me both let that rope go when if we held on and pulled a little harder we not only would have progressed further we may even have bettered our life from its outcome. What if we tried one last time?
What if we smiled more at ourselves in that mirror of life instead of picking away at our confidence?
The lowest form of self confidence is when we allow ourselves to bully any chance of happiness for our self. We can't and should never allow our feelings to tear away at our own foundation. In that mirror and behind those eyes is our spirit and our soul. The core value of your life is in that mirror don't ever criticize or put down that person. It may be done by others but really what do you care what another persons view of you is if you can love the person in the mirror for what they want to share with others. A simple smile can be effective and improve not only another persons view of the moment, of this moment it can improve your own view and inner peace.
What if.... A question that can be asked in so many ways.
What if you lived each day with passion what if today was your last day?
A song and video from Nickelback enjoy:
So today take those two words and think about your what if's not from the past but for your future.
Enjoy your Friday and your What if's!
Till next time let your smile light your path.....
