Wednesday Weeding of the Past

The past is the past, leave it and let it go.  Learn from it because it is an education but let it go.  The good is seldom repeated on its merit alone and the bad is only duplicated if we allow it.

Let it go and leave it behind.


Learn to read the current chapter only and allow the future, your future to unfold.


The only power it has is the power you give it


The present
your present is here

live it :


Let Go
Let it alone
Move ahead
Don't look back

Live for the now
Love forever
and always smile

Just as this smile is sent for you : )

Wednesday Weeding of Mistakes

Mistakes are a reflection of the past.  Mistakes can be the education that you need to triumph the next time around.

Mistakes are of the past!


Use your best efforts to make a difference

Keep your focus sharp 


 Learn from them

Be honest with them

Sculpt your next action because of them


We fall

We rise

We learn from mistakes

We learn


Be honorable

Be useful

Be that dreamer

Be a doer

and smile just as this smile is yours : )

Saturday In the Park with Wisdom

Maybe this Saturday take time to sharpen your wisdom
Consider old ways of thinking as old
Consider a better way 
Love and Acceptance
Patience and Tolerance
Love without expectations


Consider silence instead of speaking
Understanding instead of condemning
Tenderness over manipulation


Dream instead of just accepting the way its always been


Take the time today to reconsider 
Make the time to day to act with newness


Listen to your heart
and as always
Smiles sent from me to you

Wednesday Weeding of Not Doing Your Best


W. Edwards Deming was indeed a quality specialist that helped rebuild Japan in the 50's.
He often spoke of Quality before just quantity and lectured on Quality first.
So many times we have been taught to do our best but truly if 
your not mastering quality then how would you do your true best?


A yardstick of quality. What a personal concept to have.
A mind set of putting forth excellence even it is not expected or appreciated.

Grow not because the sun is shining, grow because your meant to be more.
Designed to be more
Aligned to be more
When you just settle for second best you often will get it


We all make choices
Some good
Some bad
But truly we learn from the bad choices much more
Sure it can be a set back but the growth and the learning can be profitable
Always strive and meditate on your choices if you can but never be afraid to choose


Always take advantage of the time to learn your craft
To sharpen your saw
To measure 2x  but cut once
To learn from mistakes
To be the best at being you!

Smiles sent your way Always !

Monday Motivation Instead of Trepidation

Stepping into a Monday, we all do it but are we walking with confidence as we step into the day or do we have expectations that are not so high?

It is our choice after all, but some have concerns about "Monday" even before it starts.  Now I am not saying or implying that this is you.  Of course not your head is held high with confidence and you can hardly wait until this day comes your way.  Right?

My intention is to share some thoughts that I have about how I define success, how I choose to live my mantra of daily life and even share my thoughts on failure and learning from it.

First let me say this, I am a work in progress but I understand that in order to progress it takes work and I choose to define my path upfront and carefully monitor my frame of reference so that I can be my own leader instead of someone else's sheep being herded into the day.

Lets start of with a quote:


Indeed we are the student, moving forward, learning, falling and getting back up but even if you fall you need to know your learning from the fall.

How I define success: 


What if you focused and defined success was just being a change agent in someones life that allowed them to breathe easier.  What if you lived by that belief?

How I think about treating each other:


Just imagine if you lived each of your 1440 minutes each day focusing on these three thoughts.

I leave you with this simple question.

What if you did think and focus on these simple beliefs and put them into your action plan each day?

Have a great Monday
