So what is the reason for self doubt?
Why when perfection was the design from the very start do we doubt that we are able.
You are able. Never forget, never doubt just know you are able!
“The unreal is more powerful than the real,
because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.
because its only intangible ideas,
concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last.
stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but
things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”
~Chuck Palahniuk
Starting to listen to the latest biography written by Walter Isaacson titled simply 'Steve Jobs'. A great listen or read thus far. The story of a dreamer and a doer that thought different and dreamed and did. I strongly recommend getting a copy of the hard copy or audio book at Audible.com.
Steve had magic in what he created. He was a master at getting others to believe in the doing. In working towards a goal and completing it when they thought the could not get it down in time. He made them work harder, faster and have pride in the product they created.
Adopted his parents trained him to believe that he was special and chosen by them. A feeling and sense of greatness that he had early on that would define his belief system that he could become successful and he did.
Make the time to dream each day. Make those dreams into goals and write your story. Choose the words with care that will define your dream into a reality.
Choose words that will enhance your dream and help reframe it into real action and watch that dream turn into a goal and a plan. Watch it come to life.
Steve Jobs indeed was a legend. As was Edison, the Wright brothers and Einstein. They made things come to life from the dreams they dreamt. They made our lives better because the knew their ideas would make life better.
And their ideas and actions and inventions did make our life easier.
We light up our world, we fly across and around the world. We understand our world better. We have been enhanced because of these legends.
You are a legend. Just one like you. Your dreams, goals and aspirations await the future. The history of your life will be written.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.”
~ Winston Churchill quotes
Great quote, is it not?
So for me another trip around the sun, yep going into my 49th year today.
I look at birthday's as a 'new years day' of sorts. It very much is like that. A new beginning of sorts. Out with the old year and in with the new.
For me, much of my life I have looked at as 16 year increments. This is the start of my fourth '16' year increments.
What lies ahead I wonder?
Went back over the blessings I have received in my last 365 days.
The list I come up with speaks much gratitude but here it is.
The blessing of faith in God, in life itself, in my 2 beautiful children Tori and Troy both awesome kids.
Troy moved up here in March of this year and I give much thanks to God that I have him with me.
The blessing of laughter and the knowledge in its power.
The blessing of my posts that I write, how it flows each morning no matter how tired I am, how stressed life can push in on me, it still flows.
You the reader for stopping by each day to read and share your comments.
Thank You.
It has been a challenging year my 48th. Full of joy and yes some unexpected sorrow that I still deal with from time to time.
I do have much love in my heart, much gratitude in my attitude and I always try to think of others even before myself..... It just works for me, not saying it works for all. But it works for me.
You see, for me - giving of a smile, a kind word, a gentle expression of laughter can truly brighten a day. Our spirit, our karma if you will flows out and touches others when we are happy, sad, angry or frustrated.
Why would you not want to send out joy and happiness.
Because when you do.... it comes back .. it rebounds back to the spirit that sent it out. True nuf, it comes back often in a larger reaction that even was sent.
Why? Because one sent out the expression and perhaps all day, all week, all of your life, the expression comes back by many.
I am glad to share kindness and a smile in the words I type.
I am glad to know that one day my children can fall back on these words for wisdom, perhaps... for comfort and joy, I am sure.
God Bless you in your current trip around the sun. May your birthday when comes be full of joy, laughter and love.
Smiles sent to you this day.
Smiles sent to you .... everyday. : )

“Nobody trips over mountains.
It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble.
Pass all the pebbles in your path and
you will find you have crossed the mountain.”
~ Author Unknown
It is how we handle those small steps to any real challenge that makes all the difference.
Think of all the challenges in your life and you can roll back to the beginning of that and see that you either ignored a step, or thought it would all work out ..... just because.
Life has a pattern and when we alter that pattern and try to wing it without participation things go wrong.
A basketball player can't just make free throws with out practicing for a long period of time to be consistent at their task.
Go back even farther and a small toddler does not keep trying to walk just because he falls a couple times. No he gets back up and puts his legs underneath him and finds their center to balance themselves then comes the first step.
They don't quit.
They push, and try harder. They keep giving and doing instead of waiting for things to get better.
The basics to a better day.
More rest and sleep.
Breakfast to fuel the body and mind.
Prayer to fuel the spirit and soul.
Gratitude spoke to acknowledge the gifts in your life that are working.
Being that person in the mirror that takes time to do affirmations and smile and acknowledge the greatness in you.
A review of your goals for the day.
A plan - steps and review of those steps to ensure your on the path to success for your daily goal.
Focus on whats working and whats not working and adjust
Taking time to smile, taking time to laugh and taking time to make a difference.
You get to that and your day will improve, it will be better.
You have the power. You have the ability. Take the time to stay out of those pebbles way.
Prepare to get out of their way.
It is not the mountain you have to worry about or think about.
It is indeed the small pebbles that we often stumble over.
Dream big, Smile often and Love always!
A smile sent your way : )
Always smiles sent your way : )

We postpone the finality of heartbreak by clinging to hope.
Though this might be acceptable during early or
transitional stages of grief, ultimately it is no way to live.
We need both hands free to embrace life and accept love, and
that's impossible if one hand has a death grip on the past.
~KRISTIN ARMSTRONG,

It's hard letting go. It could be a death of a loved on, a death of a relationship or just letting go of a job because of the economy. It is painful no doubt about and above all you have to go through the pain, you need to transition to a higher plane to be able to move forward.
Not saying you should not remember the good and the great of the things you passed. You need to remember the good and the great of that person, or job.
But when we grip to tight on the past, ultimately we have less control of our present and the future. We can not get a firm grip of the present with one hand still holding onto the past.
Remember the past, you bet.
Let the past effect your future relationships, your future trust factor's.
No that is not the way we should live.
Today is a gift. The 86,400 seconds we get everyday we can't stop.
They move on. They are not in our control. They are a resource that is a gift and we need to search for the joy and happiness in each moment.
We need to look up and forward and take time to enjoy 'the moment'.
It is hard, to focus on the now when the past is to fresh in our heart. Our spirit aches but after 48 trips around the sun I have learned through those years that we are in control, of our thoughts, our emotions and our reactions.
Live your life with love in it. With laughter and joy. Share your smile first with you in that mirror and use your affirmations that I shared with you yesterday or you created for yourself and march on into your day.
The seconds in your life tick on. Tick, tick, tick ---- three more seconds fall away but as long as you understand the importance of each second and the importance of living your life for the good of the cause.
The cause you ask --- to be happy of course. To serve another. To love and be loved and to make a difference to another.
Smile on my friend let those burdens be carried away by God.
Let those tears wash away the pain and give gratitude not for what you lost, but for what you got to share in.
Those things, those bright colored memories, let them shine over the dark.
Let them help to brighten your day, lighten your load and let your light shine on for another. For one day your light will dim and it will go out but the memories you left behind will keep someone else's day a bit brighter for them.
Shine on!
Smiles for you this day : )
Love and laughter sent your way ............
