Happy Monday to you all! Are you ready for it? I mean really ready for today. I love the day, I love most days but trust me life is not a rose garden for me with out any thorns. I don't want you to get the wrong idea of life in my world.
It is just the idea and the attitude that I try to carry within my heart and soul that I can make a difference and that my self talk and gratitude attitude sets the pace for the day.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and that you made a difference whether for your family or a complete stranger.
Yesterday I spoke about taking care of the garden of thoughts that we all have the power to tend.
To keep with that theme a quote:
A man sooner or later discovers that he is
the master-gardener of his soul,
the director of his life.
~James Allen
It is far better to know this sooner in life of course. It is also a must that you try to teach your children that quote as well.
Imagine if you knew that as a young child, as a young adult and prevented I am sure mishaps along lifes journey.
No probably at that young age you thought you knew most of the lessons of life, or so you thought.
You looked at your mom and dad and said, 'I will do it better'.
And life went on with the twists and turns and the speed bumps.
Sure everything happens for a reason, with out a doubt.
Failure is perhaps the best teacher in life.
But too often we think as we stumble and fall that this is so tragic and that how is this fixable.
In fact everything in life is like a garden, if you pay attention and take care of your crop you will sow a nice harvest. In life the nice harvest would equate to gratitude, happiness within, the ability to enjoy laughter and even enjoy a tear or two.
Does life always promise a harvest of joy, hardly, storms do come but I have said this before it is how we handle the storm, how we react to the storm that matters most.
Take life slow and steady in your decisions and actions. Allow yourself the time to think out the possible outcomes.
But as far as laughter, or dreams, or the passion to do your very best. Take the plow and the hoe and take to the fun of planting your dreams in strong and steady soil.
The soil that will help the roots of life's decisions take a strong grip.
Dream
Laugh
Smile
and yes even cry each day, just a little and you will find your master garden blooming plenty to go around.
May your pantry in your soul be filled with love and smiles. Plenty to share and even enough to give away.
Have a great week everyone and have fun playing in your garden.
Smiles to you this day and everyday! : )
