Tuesday Taking Over Our Destiny

Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in design? Free will ?

Destiny defined as a hidden power or events beyond our control which design our future.

Your choice live by your design or allow fate to fall upon you.


What will you choose for yourself?


choose your destiny
allow fate to choose it for you?
what good would / could really come out of this?


i have said it before

Dream Big

Dream with out fear


You must set your sights higher than they are now
you must set reasonable expectations for yourself

You must see your prize
have a big enough why
find the how even if it means some failure
but learn
and gain the handle on your dreams

they are meant to be achieved 
and you are meant to smile

just as this smile is sent for you : )

Touching the wind ~ 10/28/13

"Thought is the wind, knowledge is the sail and mankind the vessel"


Every day we awake, different times mind you but we all start our day awakening from the prior days actions.  We rise and we start out anew, often with a pattern and habits long ago formed.

Are these patterns and habits helping or hurting your vessel as you pull out of port 

Do you feel refreshed or foggy from the rest you rise from?
Do you feel grateful or apathetic that you have to get on with your day?

Some of my best mornings come from awakening with out my alarm, without any plans or hurry involved just with three simple actions.

Action one ~  step out of the bed, feet on the floor and pray the simple yet profound prayer:

Thank you for it all, my chance at another day, my family and all that I am empowered with.
Thank you for it all.

Action two ~  Stretch those limbs out.  Watch our pet dog or cat and you will find one of the first  actions they do is to stretch.  Try it and start your day with more blood flowing.

Action three ~  Stay away from any and all negative self talk.  The day begins and what are your first thoughts.  Are they filled with joy?  Are they filled with anger or sadness?  

Thoughts become things and so your day will flow from these thoughts.

Just three simple actions steps. 

If thought is the wind should we not touch it once in awhile?

May your day be blessed and may your smiles be long held as you venture out.

To inspire, to give, to share and to love

Sometimes we tend to be in despair

when the person we love leaves us,

but the truth is, it's not our loss, but theirs,

for they left the only person who wouldn't give up on them.

~ Melai

I write every day to inspire others.  My mission to have one life breathe easier because I lived.  To share in some thought, that may lead to tears, or laughter or just a quick little smile.  Maybe an ah-ha will be let out.  But to write to inspire another spirit is indeed my goal.  I hope I do right by you the reader.

Oh, I know that I try to.

I almost gave up writing the other day, almost wanted to take some time out and put the fingers to rest.  Maybe it was too painful to keep writing when I was hurting as bad as it has been at times.

Not physical pain, but pain from the heart when someone leaves.  My wife left on the 10th of Sept. Have not heard from her since 1pm that day when she got back to Michigan.

Each day I feel stronger, each day I miss 'her' less.  Sure I still miss her, I hear her laugh, still I feel her touch on that wedding day.  Almost a year ago.

But I know I did my best.  I didin't give up on her, didn't ask her to leave, nor did I beg her to stay.  Because when you beg your really giving up on you.

Watched a message the other day on the Internet, a Christian message and the message was clear.  It was like it spoke to me.

The message was that sometimes our God can allow things to be removed form our life so that we can grow.

God heals and with out a doubt removes pain, can remove sickness.  He wants us to be obedient to his word and his plan for us.

So perhaps God also wants us to choose our plan, our partner, our team better.  So we can make more of a difference for other lives.

This message touched me, so I share that with you.

Maybe you have lost someone, maybe just maybe you have been healed in the past from the pain of relationship lost.  Just perhaps you learned from the experience.

I may be BENT, but not BROKEN, everything happens for a REASON. Because if GOD brings you to it, HE will bring you through it.

~ Author Unknown

I write to inspire, but many times what I write inspires me.  I type with little or no research, it just flows from my fingers.  I pray before and pray after to give thanks.

I share this to give some thought, some smiles, some love.  I hope your visit again, I hope you share in the comments below.

May your direction be filled with smiles, with joy, with love and with a passion to make a difference in the life of others.

Have Fun, live with laughter, love and dream big along the way

Everyone likes to follow fun

but for most there is no fun in always following

Dream Big ~ Laugh Often ~ Love Always

Smile Forever

~ V. Yakin (just me)

Dream Big

Nothing happens with out a dream, a first concept, the ah-ha moment that says this could be possible.

Dreams with out action and a plan are simply day dreams, we need to think out our implementation.

Failure putting our dream into action is not optional, you will fail.  But how do you evaluate your failure.  What notes do you take to keep that failure, in that manner, to only once.

Failure is mandatory when putting our dream into a reality.  It guides you another step closer to success.

Having Fun

When putting your life into motion, make it fun.   Take the time to smile, enjoy the journey.  Taking a journey with out enjoying it makes it too much like work.

Sure life is work, or do you have to work at life?  No matter they both sound right.  However as the old adage goes ....

If its not fun, your not doing it right

Laugh often

What more can be said about the power of laughter.

It heals

It increases our like ability factor

People love to laugh.

Laughter in the morning is perhaps the best.  Just for the heck of it even if nothing is funny right now, and that just may be funny in time...lol  Make the time right now to laugh for 2 minutes.  Just about anything....a hearty, from the belly, through the lungs, out the mouth laugh.  If tears come to your eyes you did it just right.  Go on, who cares who is watching.  Ok, if others are asleep in your home....hold off on this or take it outside.  LOL

How did it feel?  Are you smiling, you felt silly, or are you silly....... LOL

Laugh often, you will feel great doing it and you will feel great for a longer period of time.

Just laugh.....  Watch that smile broaden when your down.

Love Always

All you need is love,  Remember that song from the Beatles?  It is so true.

If you forgot the words or the song, well here it is just for you....

: )

Love always, what a wonderful world this could be, should be.

This is not just dreaming here, its one person giving you some options.

Dream Big ~ Laugh Often ~ Love Always and Smile along the way!

Have Fun exploring today and sometimes you will follow but today take the lead.  Make a Difference.  Share your love and your laughter.

To Choose to have Fun

This day - this very day is yours.  Yours to enjoy, yours to make the very most of. 86,400 seconds, some already gone but many do remain.  The fun you have with this day will not be dependent on another, it can, should and will come from your own thoughts, beliefs and actions.

These following quotes, words, video's are only here to help.  Your day belongs to you, make the very most of it today and share some smiles and laughter along the way.

Some quotes about having fun:

I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself,

and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.

~ Shirley MacLaine

*************

It's the game of life.  Do I win or do I lose?

One day they're gonna shut the game down.

I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as

many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.

~ Tupac Shakur

Whether its a play you have written for yourself or a board game that your taking part of this life is chosen by you.  You choose to partake or you choose to watch from the sidelines.  Choose to have fun!  Choose to enjoy life!

Let no one choose how you should feel.

A quote from the bible from Ecclesiastes 2:24 ESV

"There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil.  This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,"

God of course did create us to have free will.  He wants us to enjoy his creations.  The majesty and beauty of nature.  The freedom to choose has always been a gift from God.

The day is yours all I leave you with now is a wish that you will make the difference in your life and in the lives of another.  That your smile will shine bright and light the way.  That laughter will be heard in your soul and spirit and that you will let it out, let out today.

A video to help out with that : )

Have a great day everyone !

Laughter in the morning

Welcome to a new day, this day is yours lets enjoy it and make it filled with joy!

Here is a thought lets start today with a prayer, with some gratitude spoken aloud and a moment of hearty laughter, the kind that comes from the gut.

Even if you don't feel like it lets follow along here

Prayer

Spoken aloud gratitude

Hearty laughter

A bible quote from Psalm 126:2 ESV


Then our mouth was filled with laughter

and our tongue with shouts of joy;

then they said among the nations,

"The Lord has done great things for them."

~~~~~~~~

Prayer, spoken gratitude and hearty laughter each morning, heck try it what do you have to lose.

A story from CNN:

 

 

Are you laughing yet?  Getting the picture.

Prayer, spoken aloud gratitude and hearty laughter from the belly.

Even if you don't feel like it.

Tell me what do you really have to lose -- to gain?

Better health?

A better morning?

A better life?

Go on enjoy your day filled with morning laughter.

A quote to leave you today with :

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

~ Robert Fulghum

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/ˈTHôtfÉ™l/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 : )

Walking Through Wednesday *New* ~August 10, 2011



Happy Wednesday and here is a wish that today you will have a song in your heart that expresses pure joy, a step that has passion and excitement and a dream that is much bigger than you. Anyone can have these three things you just have to experience them just once and keep the desire to have them forever.
Do you remember the first time you felt loved. The sheer joy and passion you had when you were around that person. The tingle in your pulse the rise in temp that told you how good this felt.
Do you feel that when your around you?
A quote about everyday love and joy:



"You never lose by loving.
You always lose by holding back."

~ Barbara De Angelis 




Don't every hold back on your love.  Don't ever lose or misplace that first feeling that you had when you felt your first love.
Love for oneself is perhaps the greatest and most important love of all.
"If you aren't good at loving yourself,
you will have a difficult time loving anyone,
since you'll resent the time and energy you give
another person that you aren't even giving to yourself"

~ Barbara De Angelis
The cause and effect of love is simple.  You have love to give because you understand love of oneself.  Then you will have an effect on loving others and wanting to spread in the joy and excitement.
The pure joy of love is like watching rain fall in a waterfall it keeps giving complementing the heavy fall of water but never taking anything away from it.  Just giving and sharing in its power and grace.
Thats what pure and unconditional love does it gives. It makes things better. Never taking away just giving.  The feeling and sense of being is so great you just want to give back, share forward and so you do.
May you have that love in your life.
Today -- Everyday.
Enjoy your day everyone and smiles to you all across the miles!

Take Charge Tuesday *New* ~ August 09, 2011


Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a new day, a day to be a little better than the last day.  A day to say I am taking charge of my reactions and I have a cause that will have a profound effect on my life and the life of those around me.
Today! Right now I am in charge of my destiny.
Today I am a mother who is a difference maker with her children.
Today I am a co worker who instead of being someone who tears down another persons spirit I will be a builder of that spirit and give that coworker encouragement instead of something less.
Today I will be an agent of positive change and remove any nay sayer thoughts and words.
Today! Right now I am in charge of something bigger than even me!
Do you feel those thoughts begin to stir in your spirit.  No?  Look in that mirror and say them, look into your eyes and believe them.
Today start to take charge for the good of others not just yourself.
A quote to ramp up this idea:
A very happy Tuesday to you all !  This day is your day.
Everyday is yours of course, free will to do with it what you please. You can live with high expectations for yourself or you can stay in bed all day.  The choices are yours and really they are yours alone.
Oh I hear many of you say I have to get up for work, or get a long list of chores and tasks done.  True it is I am sure but truly the world won't end if you just stopped for a minute or the whole day for that matter.
We know that for every action we take or do not take their is an equal or greater reaction.  Life happens no matter, even if we don't
Todays post is about taking charge in the area of your life, your thoughts and your actions. The area to continue with this weeks theme of sort is understanding and appreciating that every action has a reaction.
First a quote:

To exist is to change,
to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on
creating oneself endlessly.
~Henri Bergson
We all have change in our life.  But it is the one who understands change and is the user of change to make themselves better and those around them that will make all the difference.
Take charge of your day!
Don't let anyone take charge of your life with out your permission.  Oh, some will try but we need ever let them.
Today understand that this is your day and you can make the very best of it.
With your thoughts, actions, smile and words!
Another quote by the French philosopher Henri Bergson:
"The present contains nothing more than the past,
and what is found in the effect
was already in the cause."

How big is your cause?  How big are your dreams?
What is your heart full of? Love -- Joy -- Kindness 
or something less that takes away from this world instead of gives.
The present (the right now) contains nothing more that the past (unless we develop a bigger reason) and what is found in the effect (our results) was already in the cause.
Don't have a big enough cause?  Look around and see the world with curious eyes.  See the world with the thought I am in charge and I want to have a bigger cause.
I choose to be a smile advocate, to teach, to entertain, to enlighten, to inspire others about these things:
The power of a simple sincere smile!
The power of a deep sense of gratitude in ones life!
The power of thought and having the motivation to change for the better.
The power of prayer that can enrich every second of your incoming day.
The power of making a difference by sharing it forward!
If you choose come on aboard and share it forward.
Become a smile ambassador for change!
Become a source of love, of kindness and share in the magic of being different that the status quo.
To smile with sincerity is not the status quo, not in these times.
To teach and live with gratitude in ones heart is not status quo in these times, it is to play at the feet of things and wants more than another persons need.
To choose to make a difference is not the status quo, look around you in every life the status quo seems to say whats in it for me.

Live your life outside the status quo!
Live your life with love and the power, the simple and sincere power that you have the ability to be something great!
Stay hungry and Stay foolish and stay smiling today !
Depends not just on the action taken but the attitude it is taken with that matters even more.
Attitude and especially your attitude as your feet hit the floor in the morning is everything.  It is how you feel, how you breathe and how your body moves that impresses your spirit and soul or depresses your spirit and soul.
Action taken is a reaction that is soon about to take place.
The cause will have and effect.
The cause often is your attitude.
Attitude, your attitude will dictate the outcome of a task even before you start it.
When we breathe deep and think with positive outcomes in our mind this will likely lead to a better outcome than if we are stressed and have less positive thoughts.
Actions come from thought
Thoughts come through your attitudes.
Take time to take charge of your reactions that your given.
They indeed do come from the actions you started the day with.
My day starts with prayer and it often ends with prayer.
Not prayer with requests and wishes but prayer with a thankful heart and spirit.
My wish for you is that you give your morning that quiet moment in prayer not to ask for a better life or day but to give thanks for what you have.
May you be blessed today and every day.
Smiles sent across the miles : )
