Monday Motivational Moment *New* 08/01/11

Happy Monday to and welcome to a brand new month!  The birds are chirping here, the sun has not yet pushed through and today shows so much promise and possibility.
Are you ready to jump in with both feet?
Do you have a plan for what goals you have set?  Have you set any goals?
Have you told those that you love that you do indeed love them?
Have you taken the time to tell them why?
Did you get to take the time to say a morning prayer of thanks to your creator?
Wow you say all these questions so early.  But with better questions you always get a better answer, just because you asked it.
Thats the affect of the action taken or the cause.
For every action that is taken their is an equal or larger reaction.
Thats what this month is about the action (affect) that we take and the reaction that we are given (the effect) from the cause that we 'stand' for.
The reasons we do anything need to be questioned but more importantly how we allow the things that we do to effect others needs to be questioned more.
Don't let the way you feel impact another persons day unless you truly making a difference for the good.
Keep the bad to your own microscope when we share what is on our slide that we are inspecting it can have a strong reaction and its not always for the best.  Often it can only make our experience worse.
To keep with this idea and thought a quote
Thinking is the place where intelligent actions begin. We pause long enough to look more carefully at a situation, to see more of its character, to think about why it's happening, to notice how it's affecting us and others.
~Margaret J. Wheatley
To think before we leap.
To question our motive before we take action.
Often we look at a situation in life to quickly and we allow our actions to be quick and swift.  The reactions taken to our hasty moves can be even swifter and quick to inflame.
Why?
When we allow past to filter into our present conditions we are not giving the current energy to be free of past impressions.
These past impressions now pollute our current way of perceiving the present and out future.
A person abused in any way becomes wary of her surroundings and allows past infection to feast on her present actions and reactions.  Often with results less desired.
A person who was a victim of a crime tends to look over their shoulder with distrust even when they are moving forward in life.
Not all people hurt other people but the effect from that hurt can last a lifetime if we allow it.
The past actions and reactions do not effect your current actions unless you allow it.
Take stock in what you have right now which is good.
The beauty of the day and the sound of nature.
The love of family and the awesome power given to you as a parent or grandparent.
The health no matter how suspect that you have that gives you breath for another day.
Live life!
Love life!
Dream Big!
Stay focused on what you truly want not what you truly had.
Bad things do happen to good people, you betcha they do.
But they don't have to keep happening and often the will not. However if you keep looking for that bad thing to happen.  If you wait to express love just because of past hurt, if you choose to remain still when you should be reaching out with kindness, you will have an effect on others but what affection are you holding back?

Live life
Dream Big
Love always
A quote I found on twitter last night of all place I share it with you all today.
Love is the beauty of the soul.
~Saint Augustine

More on that tomorrow but for now have a great day and a better week.
But live, love and take action for the best today!
Smiles to you this day and everyday! : )
