Using the Tools We Have ~ Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day : ) 02/07/2012

Any human anywhere will blossom in a

hundred unexpected talents

and

capacities simply by being given

the opportunity to do so.

: o ) Doris Lessing

What a quote to pray upon and think and meditate on today.

Maybe for more than a day, we should think upon this quote.

Any human anywhere ...

Means you and me I imagine, right?

Will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities.....

Does not say perhaps they will it says they will blossom, in a hundred unexpected talents.   In a hundred different capacities, a leader, a creator, a follower, a trend setter,  a builder of dreams, a dreamer of better things to come.

Simple by being given the opportunity to do so.

I would have to say we are given the opportunity to do so every day we wake up.  Everyday by the grace of our creator we are given the opportunity to do so.  To create, to dream, to live, to build, to share a smile, to spread joy, to love, to enjoy, to pray, to give thanks....... You get the picture.  Your camera is ready take your best shot to make the best picture for your day.

 Smiles to you this day and everyday : )

Have a blessed day everyone :)

Even If ~ Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day : ) 02/06/2012

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

: o ) William Shakespeare

Lets repeat that shall we?

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Put that on your bedroom mirror, your fridge, your bathroom mirror.

Love All

What if we did this, truly loved all, even if those people hurt us with our without malice actions.

Would the world be better for it?  Would are world be a little better for it?

Trust a Few

Sure the world is not full of rainbows and puppy dog tails.  We can understand that up front.  So did Shakespeare, he got that too.

But if we can trust a few close to us.  Give those who we truly care about the benefit of the doubt, maybe we would have less broken homes?  Or maybe divorce would fall a few percent, what if just 2 or 3 percentage points.  How many single parents would we have then?

Trust a few close friends, especially your family.

Do wrong to none

How hard should this one be, I mean really?  Do harm to none.

Even If......

Just some thoughts along the way... enjoy your day, your week and smiles sent your way.

Even if ... I fall ... I will rise again.....

Scripture of the Day 

1 Corinthians 10:13

 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Have a blessed day everyone :)

Quote of the day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day ~ On Taking Action : ) 01/17/12

“It is not the critic who counts;

not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,

or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who

strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;

because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;

but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the

great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a

worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph

of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least

he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be

with those cold and timid souls who

know neither victory nor defeat.”

: o ) Theodore Roosevelt

That is a long quote huh?   But how true.  We will stumble and come up short at times.  Not all the time mind you but life is a series of waves.  Sometimes your riding the wave other times the wave is crashing on in.  Why is that?

Well for one thing the world is full of cause and effect.  What we put out will always have an effect.  Just like what we don't put out will have an effect or counter effect if we should have done something.  Did you catch that?

Listen to your spirit, if you feel like your supposed to do something and you ignore it well you will have an effect.  The cause was the lack of taking action.

Take time to listen to your energy.  Take time to respond to your calls to action. If it does not work, it does not mean just give up it means rework the plan and find another way.

Smiles to you this day!

Quote of the day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day ~ On Luck and Cause and Effect : ) 01/13/12

Shallow men believe in luck.

Strong men believe in cause and effect.

: o ) Ralph Waldo Emerson

Imagine me using Emerson.... LOL

Ok you have to write about the power of luck and bad luck in ones life on Friday the 13th right.  So here goes.

First off ask yourself do you believe in cause and effect or do you believe in chance.

Luck from random actions or Luck from hard work and practice making things just turn out right.

So by now after all of my essays you must know my feeling right.

Cause and effect

Action and reaction

Two statements I believe in.

The high energy of laughter to improve a mood in a room and help others who may just need that laugh.  Action sharing some laughter reaction the whole state of emotion changes. Just like the power of a smile.  Just like it, you share a smile, the other sends one back just because they felt uplifted and inspired to share in the magic of the given smile.

Cause you wake up with a great nights sleep, full of energy, full of love for the live you have been given.  A blessing has been bestowed on you as you have just been given another moment of life.  A fresh 86,400 seconds await you and your the captain of the vessel that you guide along life's journey.  Pure magic awaits you.

The effect of the laughter, of the blessed day you just woke up to. Well its not luck, its the pure direction that you guide yourself with. The magic starts when you say, Thank You!

Spoke gratitude that says thank you for this day, this moment at this time I am grateful.  Pure magic awaits you. Today right now.

Not luck, not because you had a rabbits foot, no just because you prepared yourself for this moment.  This moment when you arose from a slumber, stepped out into this world and said thank you, how can I help, how can I make a difference.  Pure magic awaits you!

Will you take the time to make the magic work for another.

Your turn..... Welcome to your moment of magic

Smiles shared with you this day and every day!  Pure magic awaits! :)

12 Things to Remember and learn 

Scripture of the day :

"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”"

James 4:13-15 ESV
