A place to start ~ 01/01/2017

A place to start and a plan to formulate with small steps of action will indeed create a result.

This is my passion, to make a difference, to make you think, to give your mind a peaceful place to go and either ponder, or comment, or dismiss  My goal is to make you smile, here online.

That is indeed my intention.

I wake up each morning with intent to make this day the best it can be for me, and for others.

With gratitude I step out each morning with a tune in my heart, a smile in my mind and gratefulness in my spirit.  My only prayer each day to the creator above is a few simple words the most important of them... Thank You!

My words that I live with in my spirit I will share with you in the coming days and weeks but let me start with how I describe success.  It is a quote that I have lived with in my spirit for years.

From Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What is success?


To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”


What a simple way to define success!  In a world full of pressure and anxiety and stress we should all be able to define success in the terms above.  How little we stress if we wrapped these words around our intentions.

Daily we should embrace this
Monthly we should read it
Yearly we would reap the benefits from it.

Happy New to all who pass through this post and I hope you return

Taking Gratitude In Force (T. G. I. F. )

When you are grateful the world becomes kinder and less aggressive with your spirit.  Your more calm and you see the universe unfold in a different way.

My hope is that gratitude flows abundantly through the veins of your spirit.


Embrace gratitude
like you embrace hope


start 
begin
grateful thoughts 
let them 
sink in

raise your spirit 
to the sky
allow it 
reach up high

for gratitude is a key
that we should share 
with more than thee


truth
someone else may have it a bit worse

the famous quote

I thought my feet were so tired
until I walked upon a man who had none

oh how he would dream for feet that ached
but in his heart he knows his fate

but grateful is he that smiles from within
no matter his fate 
his dreams still begin


open door to abundance

open door to satisfaction

open door to share love instead of jealousy

Open door to share a smile

just as this smile is shared with you : )

Thursday Tune UP of Happiness

Happiness is truly a choice.  A choice of thought, a choice of action.  Why would you choose any other thing than to be happy?

Choose wisely.....


not much in life is truly ever perfect 
and if it is something imperfect is truly on its way
however
choose to be happy and grateful and choose to love


Have faith
Keep trying
Keep it simple
Laugh
Stay as youthful as a kid

Great advice


Life is a journey

often better than the destination

Enjoy it
Enjoy the ride


Truly life is really simple

But we often make it complicated

So take the time

No make the time

To smile and to share a smile

As this smile is shared for you : )

Taking Gratitude In Force ( T. G. I. F. )

Gratitude, you either have it or your lacking in a big way or a little way.

May you take a step back and find out which way you follow.  To me gratitude is everything.

Being able to say one simple prayer each morning and night to our Creator, Thank you, it sums up everything.

May you take a closer look and walk more fully with Gratitude.


Which is your view?


May we always take the time to say 
Thank you


The idea is living in gratitude
the average mind thinks about the days short comings
the small mind things little of gratitude and all about blame

Don't do the blame 
don't look at what could of been
look with gratitude in what was and with what greatness could come from it


May you return the thanks
may you share your thanks
may you live in the breath of gratitude

May you share a smile 
as this smile
is shared with you : )

Taking Gratitude In Force ( T G I F )

How many days do you wake up grateful?
How many times have you started the day off with a "Thank You"?

Maybe just maybe its time to start!


Be thankful
Be grateful
Be humble 


Show your gratitude
Live your gratitude

Set the example and be glad that you could be


find your peace of mind
let your gratitude come from the inside 
and flow to your outside

the key is to stay Grateful
the key is to stay Strong

The key is to always smile 

as this smile is sent your way : )

Monday Motivation and Focusing on the Present

The present moment at hand and to focus on the current task is often easier said than done.  We often look down the road well before the road has been traveled.  We want to find the end result sooner than it is often earned.

The time to focus is at each stage of the journey, not only so that the journey is completed but traveled well.


The task at hand deserves your focus
The present and your efforts now determine the results 
that will reward you in the future.


Focus on what you do have control of at this moment
don't focus on what others think or say
it is none of your business what others think of you anyway
that is on them not you


To loose sight of the end is not the goal, we must always look ahead
but the focus must be on the present moment but yet not get lost with our overall desired destination.


Truly whatever you focus on expands : )
Gratitude
your love
the power of a life well lived
joy
laughter

and the power of a simple smile

just like the one I share with you right now : )
