Strength and Happiness ~ Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day : ) 02/11/2012

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and

greatness should be waiting for us in our graves–

or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.

: o ) Ayn Rand

Whats your answer to this quote?  Sure we know perfection awaits us when we cross over.  We shall have no pain, no sorrow.  We understand the word and promise of God.  We get that ... we really do those who have faith and belief in an after life with our creator.

But if God created us to be perfect, to love, to share and to make a difference each and every day for those who need us to help, why don't we?

Why can't we live a life on this earth, in this life shaped and created with love, concern, joy, happiness and love.  Truth of this matter we can, could, should and must live with these values and convictions.

Smile at the world and it shall smile back at you.

Laugh with the world and it shall laugh with you.

Love with the world and it will always give love in return.

Wishful thinking, I hope not.  One person at a time. One smile, one spirit and one love.

May we all find strength and happiness where ever our feet walk.

Where ever our spirit may be may strength and love reside in our heart.

Not just because we are loved, but because we would love any way. : )

Smiles to you this day and every day.

These words are shared not to tell a story.  Not to pen a tale but to enrich your day.  Your moment in time if you read these words may they inspire your spirit to become more.  Thats why I write and thats why I will always share with those who really do care about the human spirit.

Joy and Happiness is Your Strength

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 : )

Monday Motivational Moment *New* 08/08/11

Happy Monday a new day and a start to a new work week!  May all your dreams become a reality and may all your plans become be clearly defined.

This is the day that many people dread, not me of course buy many stumble out of bed and say oh no not another Monday.

Why?  Conditioning perhaps, a learned habit from their past and others on t.v. it just seems right to feel that way to them. Almost a bragging right. But it does not have to be that way.

This past weekend was Hall of Fame weekend as far as the Pro Football Hall of Fame and its induction ceremony. I watched many of the speeches and for me I found Deion Sanders to have the most moving.

He spoke about his dream and goal to make enough in football that his mother would never have to work another day in her life. His whole dream was to be successful and paid enough to accomplish that goal and he linked much to every move he made on and off the field.

His dream came true and know his career and his dream have lead him to the Hall of Fame with other great football players and coaches.

His quote that I use today I hope will carry you through your day, your week and beyond.

The quote from his speech:

The problem is with some dreams,

the dreams are only about you.

If you're dream ain't bigger than you,

there's a problem with your dream.

Dreams have to be clearly defined and have action to them. I heard recently that a dream with out action is just daydreaming.  Very true.

Dreams have to be about more than just you, they have to be about as he stated so well bigger than you.

Life is about making a difference.

Life is about sharing and caring.

Love is a human need and desire that without another person involved in that love, we feel empty.

To be touched in our spirit and body.

To be heard and feel significance.

To be able to care and be cared about in our world.

Very important parts of our day to day existence.

So today after your morning stretch. Your morning prayer to God above.  Your morning coffee and breakfast, take the time to dream with the purpose of making a difference. Not just for yourself but for others.

The bigger the dream that revolves around more than you, the more you just may want to see it through.

Dream big!

Plan now!

Take action always!

Love forever!

Have a great day everyone ......

Smiles to you this day and everyday! : )
