Thoughtful Thursday *New* August 11, 2011

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today is a great day to be alive.  My little mantra for you to take with you:

Today is a great day to be alive, alive to thrive, not just to survive.

Live, Love and Laugh today

and watch how much 

things will go your way : )

Share that with yourself today a few times maybe a little happy jingle and your mind ( the most powerful tool you have) will have a great perspective that goes with you.  

Better than a mind that looks at the world with doubt and contempt. Wouldn't you say?  Hmmmmm?  Smiles sent your way : )

The theme of this post of course is to share and explain and stir your soul regarding thoughtfulness.

So my question to you is are you thoughtful?

Defining thoughtful found in google.com:

thought·ful/ˈTHôtfəl/Adjective

1. Absorbed in or involving thought: "brows drawn together in thoughtful consideration".

2. Showing consideration for the needs of other people: "how thoughtful of you!". 

Are you thoughtful?  Just a question for you to ponder.

Two quotes on being thoughtful:

Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes. 

~ Mary Martin  

****

Who looks outside, dreams;

who looks inside, awakes.

~Carl Jung

It is always great to dream and wonder what life could be like only if?  But it is better to be awoken by thoughtful actions.

Action and belief that what life is now and how much better it could be with a positive thoughtful attitude and a deeper sense of gratitude.

Again I ask are you thoughtful?  By now you probably know I have been asking all this time are you being thoughtful to yourself?

The hardest person to be thoughtful for is often ourselves.

No I am not talking about filling a compulsive action of shopping or eating or treating yourself to a large bowl of ice cream. 

These things can all be great in the right portions of course.

No I am talking about being thoughtful as in kind, gentle, expressive towards your own being and spirit.

Something to think upon today.  Something to pray about along your way this day.

Love and gratitude is so much a part of being thoughtful.

But first it starts with us.

Smile on and share one along your journey today : )
