Thursday Tune UP of Living with Positive Energy

Lets start of with an explanation of energy, no better way than to allow a quote...


So lets stay happy and filled with love 
no matter what

lets feel good and laugh even if we want to be angry
no matter what

Its a choice, your choice



It is truly as simple as that


Focus on the new
Focus on what you want to build with your energy
let the positive energy flow through your body, your mind, your spirit

Let it go

It truly is that simple
Start with a thank you to the world
Love the first foot step you take each day
Be happy
Decide to be in that good mood
and smile
Share that smile

Just as this one is shared with you : )

Thursday Tune Up of Staying the Course

We are all on a course.  From the very minute you go to bed and rest and awaken the next day you have your course plotted. The only people that don't have their course plotted are those who allow others to plot there course for them.

They exist, those who just plod along, waiting for something to happen to them.

Are you on that course or are you designing yours?


Create it
Design it
Make it happen 
From your dreams to the reality.


You are on the bridge and to get to true wisdom
there will be mistakes
there will be winds that try and blow you off
in the end you will gain wisdom.


Your design
Your destination


Focus

and lastly 

Set Goals
         Measure Results
         Increase energy
            Live with passion
      Enjoy the ride

Smile

as this smile was sent for you : )

Quotes of the day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day ~ The Purpose of Us All : ) 01/26/12



I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be
responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate.
It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have
made some difference that you lived at all.
:  o ) Leo C. Rosten
*******************************
The purpose of life is not to fight against evil and misfortune;
it is to unveil magnificence.
: o ) Alan Cohen
Today two quotes, how lucky can you get : ) Smiles sent.
What is our purpose in life.  Not yours and mine in particular I mean all of us in particular, the man and woman purpose in life.
I love the idea of unveiling magnificence.
What a concept.  Love it.
So it got me to ponder about all that I share with you the reader, the purpose that I share words to inspire, to enlighten to entertain and educate.
I like not love this interaction and sharing that takes place.  I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.
Starting 2/01/12 I will be posting during the day the Smiles and Inspiration 2012.  I have prayed about this and listened to my inner spirit and it says to give it and share it with all.  So that is what I choose to do come 2/01/12.
To those who got it via email I will continue to do that until you say thats ok.
But I thank you 33 who wanted it and received it freely and I hope you respect and like my decision to share it with all.  Who am I to keep it for only 33 and so it will be shared 2/01.
So my smiles to you all and love shared as well : )
Video of the Day

Scripture of the day

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Change in the air and in our time


"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned

citizens can change the world.

Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."

— Margaret Mead

I believe with all my heart and spirit in this quote. Apparently the Occupy Wall Street movement does as well.  Apparently those in Egypt, Libya did also.

The Tank Man in June of 1989 believed in this thought.
The video shares the images and some thoughts:

The change that this world is looking for now is very real.

Our founding fathers of the Republic did not invision what we have now.  They served in the government they did not seek this position as a career.

We need to rework our country.  We need to stand up and explain to our leaders what we truly want.  What we need from them.

The only way we do this is to get involved.

Not to be led around in a maze and conformed but to be an active participant in the way our voice is heard.

Does this take effort and work?

Yes

Does this take standing up for what your believe in?

Of course

"Every generation needs a new revolution."

~ Thomas Jefferson

***

"The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to

the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with

difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion.

As our case is new, so we must think

anew, and act anew.

We must disenthrall ourselves,

and then we shall save our country."

~ Abraham Lincoln

12/01/1862

in a Message to Congress

We must Rise.....

 

 

The voice of change is in the air.

We must rise.

We must speak out and stand.  Nothing will come easy mind you but change never is.  Change never is.

I took some time last night and watched some video that can be found on Livestream.com.  The video was some interaction with those in the Occupy Pittsburgh demonstration going on day 5 as of today.  The movement at this point is people of all ages, all different race, all different coming together and having a conversation.

A conversation and a togetherness for change.  That to me is the start of change the coming together and forming a more perfect....no a more improved way to implement change.

Change for our children, and their children.

The next step is to start some type of reform, a reorganization of ideas and placing them within our own individual lives.  Change that will make a difference for those who seek it.

We must rise........

Become the voice of change. If not the voice at the very least listen to the conversation that these groups are trying to have.

Are some of the conversations beyond real possibility?

Maybe but back in the day we didn't think we could ever fly in a plane.

We never thought we could watch images on a box in our living room that we would plug in.

We could not imagine getting rid of our vinyl for our music and replace it with an MP3 player or an Ipod.

The world changed, over time it always does.

But never will the power of a simple, sincere smile...... unless we stop using it.

Never....at least not from me to you.


Smiles sent your way today and everyday : )

Faith, in our design and our purpose

The grass withers, the flower fades:

but the word of

our God shall stand forever.

~Isaiah 40:8 KJV 2000

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

" We cling to our own point of view,

as if everything depended on it.

Yet our opinions have no permanence;

like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

~Chaung Tzu

Oh how our point of view can matter so.  It can mean everything to us of course but it too over time and experience shall change.

The things we cared about as a child changed as we became an adult. They same things that were important changed once again as we became a parent.

As the seasons run by us and the winters turn to springs one thing we can be certain of our faith in God.

Now I know that I share with you my belief and faith and it is not to lead you to that it is truly just me sharing.

I believe that faith and spiritualism is a personal thing and only you can be lead into your beliefs you can never be dragged there.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for

the evidence of things not seen.

~Hebrews 11 : 1

Just because we don't see the wind does not mean it is not present.

We see the effects of the wind.

We see the effects of God and his creations.

A passage from Ralph Waldo Emerson from his essay Nature:

In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity (leaving me my eyes), which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part and parcel of God.

Indeed how how nature returns us to source.

The roar and sound of the ocean waves.

The peace and tranquillity of the forest.

Nature how intricate its design and how intricate is our design.

Built with two legs and feet to carry us.

Built with two arms and hands to hold.

Built with one heart to pump life and to embrace love.

Designed to have two eyes to see, two hears to listen and one mouth to speak.

How intricate its design.  Built for love and making a difference.

Yet for most its a body built to kill and destroy, overflowing with the ego to have more, control more and possess.

Nature does not posses anything.

It just exists for our pleasure and eco system.

It does not hate but can express fury.

Nature how impressive and full of God is thee.

Explore your faith.  Understand and learn more about what our design and build can be put to better use.

Love each other.

Embrace laughter.

Share that simple sincere power of the smile.

Just as I do with you here, today.


As always smiles sent to you this day .... : )

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 : )

Walking Through Wednesday *New* ~June 22, 2011

Happy Wednesday everyone and welcome to the middle of the week, some call it hump day as in over the tough part of the week. But really by now you have heard me say everyday is the same its how we allow the day to be viewed and used.
Think about this everyday has the same amount of hours, minutes and seconds.  We all get the same amount of time we just choose and decide to use it differently and with different people.
My thoughts for the new format for this post is the word adversity and on Wednesday I set aside the day to inspire you to overcome and focus on a more positive outcome.
This quote will fit this post nicely on this subject:
Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you 
wanted but getting what you have, which once you have
 got it you may be smart enough to see is what you 
would have wanted had you known.
~Garrison Keillor
So much truth to this quote.  Goes in line with be careful what you wish/ask for because often when you get it, turns out that you didn't really want that in the first place.
Thinking before we take our first step can avert a slew of problems.
When fireman fight a fire, they plan it out and have quite a few weeks of training before they step into that burning building.
A surgeon has quite a few years on applying his skill before cutting into his patients body to cure his sickness.
So should we take some time when we step into our day.  Walk steady but know what you really want from the steps your taking each day, each hour, think and ask what is that I really want from this experience.
Ask better questions you will get a better answer.
It is all in your initial perception and thought about that topic that often dictates YOUR reality.  Noticed I put a strong emphasis on your. Because another person may see that same thing differently.
Now what he/she is wrong, always wrong, really?  No before you try to point that belief of yours out try to look at from a different perception.
Ask better questions you will get a better answer applies here as well.
There is much luck in life, some call it opportunity but you first have to show up and participate in life to take advantage of that luck.
You have to take the first step and show up with the right attitude and preparation.
The right attitude towards life, with an open mind, an open heart and open arms.
The right preparation towards your day/moment with a plan that says today I will succeed, I will prosper, I will plan and execute to the best of my ability and if my plan was not the best, I will adapt and push forward.
Because when we push forward we at the very least don't fall back, we keep moving ahead.  With the right heart and spirit ahead is always a new and fresh opportunity and just may have the 'luck' that brings you a brighter day, and a better life.
For yourself and those around you thats really what we all want!
Have a great day everyone!  Enjoy your walk.
