Motivation Mastery on a Monday

A new month is almost here August is about to end and September and 122 days til 2021. 

2020 was a challenging year that is a fact.  But we have the power of our attitude, our dreams and our goals. Right?

Do you have a mission statement?

Do you have dreams for yourself?  Are they just dreams or are they written goals?

Who are you and what do you want for yourself, your family and your community?

Goals without plans are just dreams.

Attitude is Everything

Desire, burning desire to be your daily best

Quality Goals with quality plans with clear purpose

This is the pathway 

Dreams ---> Goals ----->Plan -------> Action ------> Results

Failure is not the ending it is an education.

Rework your plan and refine it and execute it

Repeat as necessary and reach for the stars.

Welcome to Monday

Start with a dream and stretch !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stay Safe.

Be filled with the desire and hunger to breathe and move forward.

Share kindness and share a smile!

Embrace always, smile forever and share united.

Getting Lost in a Picture and Found in the Words (cont.)

The goal is making someone smile, think a little deeper and possibly make positive changes for their happiness intake.  These photos are a share for you the reader, hope you enjoy. 

In the coming days I hope to find others who would share* (with appreciation and source connected) their photos.  So submit them if you have a macro picture or mesmerizing style that you would like to share.  Thank you in advance. 

My email is at the bottom. Smiles sent in advance. : )

A Waxing Gibbous Phase

Waxing means that it is getting bigger.  Gibbous refers to the shape, which is less than the full circle of a Full Moon, but larger than the semicircle shape of the Moon at Third Quarter.  With some exceptions, the Waxing Gibbous Moon rises during the day, after noon.

An early evening picture I took after a challenging day.  We often look up to observe a cloud or a beautiful sunset.  Anything to take us on a short journey to another thought. 

To day dream maybe  just a temporary rest, from the craziness of 2020.

124 days to go til 2021 by the way.  I hold tightly to the idea and the vision that 2021 will be better for all.  Short question should be, how could it not be?

The full moon this month will be Wednesday, September 02, 2020. 

Another chance to look to the sky and lost in a view and breathe in the view of God's creation.

Enjoy your Sunday : )

Getting Lost in a Picture 2020.08.29

Found in the Word

Another Segment of an in-depth thought on a picture that touched me. 
 Just a simple picture and some thoughts and comments.  
Something to give some thoughts upon and perhaps reflect with.

Again I did not take this picture but wanted to share my find.

A weathered park bench 

A bench waiting for use, a morning fog on a frosty day. A distant figure strolling perhaps they will use the bench perhaps just walk on past it and continue on their journey.  Maybe they used it already and are heading in another direction.

Still the bench sits.  Waiting to be utilized.

The trees standing leaves have fallen and perhaps the season is preparing for winter or maybe in the midst of winter.

I love the depth of this picture.  The view few would take a look from. Close up and looking at the weathered and worn boards that give support and purpose.

Never would we take this view, maybe we would just focus on the path not the bench and its close up detail of the structure.  But this artist did take this look.  They gave us much got ponder and to look upon.

Life is like this, we pass on by and look at the surrounding path, trees and walk on by so much.  Maybe we should take the time and focus more.

Maybe our pace is hurried, most often we rush to our next destination.  Maybe we walk with casual intention and meditate on the task at hand.

So much can be healed when we walk with purpose of reflection and meditative pause of our busy minds.

Take the time and make the time to heal your spirit.  Relax and Reflect.

Enjoy the many resources a simple park pathway can present to you.

Walk on or rest but most of all enjoy the moments in life given to you.

May your weekend have a stroll in it. May your weekend be reflective of a better way.

Enjoy and maybe if you find a lonely bench, take a moment and put it to use.

Truth ~ Grit for the long term success

Growth is a constant and is necessary.  Grit drives your focus, and needed staying power and success. It is the fuel and oil that provides performance in your life.

Life is a marathon and consists of consistent measurable effort 

Consistent effort that is monitored and adjusted for improvement 

Improvement that is not for one but for all

For when we all improve the world is a much better place

Rise each day with Grit and Determination

Focus on the overcoming of any fears or down turns

Rise up not because you can but because you must!

What ever the weather Grit will get you there even better

The month is almost over and 2020 has been full of challenges and

 trials of the human spirit

The human spirit has been challenged more this year than ever.

126 days remain in this year

Rise up

Rally caps in place

Better days are ahead and everyday we smile, we are grateful and we push on

Rise up

Smiles sent your way

Stay Safe.

Share kindness and share a smile!

Embrace always, smile forever and share united.

Truth ~ Like it or Love it or Hate it

Just understand that Truth is a Natural Law

The sooner we the people who cherish things like gratitude, love over hate, kindness over unsettled tones of disruption, then we have the ability to shine brighter.

Facts are Facts.

Man's law should be based upon benefits for all human kind

Not a select group

Not defined by human differences but by real solutions for the good of human kind

We need to embrace this vibration of truth

Not focus on the alternate facts as they exist only in a false alternative reality

Focus on love, on healing never on hate or the disease

The mind, your mind is the most powerful tool your body will ever possess

Always will be that powerful, use it for good and growth.

Stay opened minded to the energy force of nature

Follow your intention 

Listen to that small sense of intuition in your gut

Walk your talk

Follow your dreams

Convert them into reality with true founded process and goals 

Ignore the past history of your short falls and make your goals to reach new heights

Live with passion ~ Love with your spirit ~ Laugh often ~ Be kind

Smiles sent your way : )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stay Safe.

Be filled with the desire and hunger to breathe and move forward.

Share kindness and share a smile!

Embrace always, smile forever and share united.
