Happy Tuesday everyone! A day to be grateful, prayerful and meditative. A day of possibility, for dreams to be turned into action, one step at a time. A day to Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
Stay Hungry in life, with words, actions and deeds. Decide to make a difference for you yourself and those you care about.
Hungry in the realization that with love for yourself, (where love has to start with oneself) and gratitude for our abilities both shown and those yet to be shown, declares that we are able for any obstacle placed in our way
Stay Foolish, dream big and don't let your past failures prevent you from planning and preparing for your next attempt.
"You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing.
I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.”
~ Rene Descartes
You keep trying. Almost all great things attempted and accomplished were done so after the decision to quit and try no more but yet the heart and foolishness pushed on but once more.
Don't quit being foolish, don't listen to others who say it can't be done.
Today I write about what I am grateful for. What I truly appreciate what keeps me hungry and foolish. What keeps me pushing and pushing on, and pulling up to get back on the horse even when I'm knocked from it.
These are the words that keep me hungry and foolish.
Attitude that is described by Charles Swindoll:
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
Defining ones success by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
......To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Failure by Wayne Gretzky:
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Belief and vision by Paul, 2 Corinthians 4:18
New Living Translation (©2007)
So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Love by Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:13
New Living Translation (©2007)
Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest
of these is love.
Imagination by Robert Fulghum:
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death”
In order to stay hungry and stay foolish you have to have some sort of foundation, belief system. You need to know what you know and a firm faith.
Trust in prayer, listen through mediation and act on intuition.
Listen to that little tug of the heart, and never turn your back on yourself. Act with prudence. Love with unceasing emotion and believe like the child who knows no different but dream and imagine.
Stay Hungry, Stay foolish what prose to dwell upon this day and for the future.
In 5 days, 9 hours and counting I will be saying my vows to Janice.
"To share ones faith, hope and love in each other. To love unceasingly. To stay focused on what are values are about, are dreams are to hold and actions yet to unfold. To cherish, to walk hand in hand side by side. To never give up or give in to what we believe in and hold close to our heart."
"In sickness and health, for richer and poorer as long as we both shall live...."
Stay Hungry ~ Stay Foolish ~ Live, Love and Laugh and know
that Smiles are sent your way everyday! : )
Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.
