Keep ON , Keeping On~ Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day : ) 02/15/12

“To get through the hardest journey we need take only


 one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping”


: o )  Chinese Proverbs quotes

We must keep on, keeping on, quitting should never be in the front of the action and plan. 

Tough roads must sometimes be traveled.  The first settlers in America had some very tough roads to travel.

The first troops in Normandy during World War II had some very tough paths to travel and most of them never made it to the shore.  But some did.

Better to try and learn from our failure than to sit and stew with the troubles that creep into our life.  Not all will make it... But some do.

When things, daily things get tough, and they will.  When you feel that you don't know how this will turn out, you just wonder how you will get through this.

Don't give in, don't sit and sink into the quick sand that you feel is around you.  Keep stepping and know that not everything will go your way.... But some things will.

YOU... and YOU along can keep stepping forward.  Don't stop, take time to be still and listen for a better plan of attack to your woes and at the very least keep trying another road.

Often the road less traveled seems to be the scariest, but for those who travel it, it always seems to be the best.

Bible verse of the Day

Proverbs 15:13-14




13 A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. 

14 The mind of him who has understanding, seeks knowledge, inquires after and craves it, but the mouths of (self-confident) fools feed on folly.


Have a blessed day everyone :)

Walking Through Wednesday *New* ~August 31, 2011

Happy Wednesday everyone and welcome and walk with me through another great day, Today is your day!  You make the smile from your heart and share it with everyone but always share the first one with yourself!  Your day will go much better and practice does make perfect.
So last day of a formatted post.  In the future the post will have its title but no mention of the day within the post.  The line up for each day will have a theme but not necessarily a formatted title.  Tomorrow is day one of the new month and I will share with you then the flow and intentions.
But for today a walk through Wednesday and the last day of August 2011. 
What ever happened in your month walk with your head held high, looking ahead not with your eyes looking down.  If you look out far enough in front you will still be able to prevent most problems.  But you also will have the sky and the horizon in your sight.
Looking down does little for the spirit, and nothing for the heart.
Smile and share that first smile with that morning mirror.
Love and share that with all even those who may hurt or dismay you.
Share in the Gratitude that resonates in your soul.
Pray to God for wisdom and direction in your daily activities and forgive those who may have hurt you.  They really have no control of your spirit and soul, only you can allow them to harm you.
Just some thoughts on my daily outlook for today and September 2011.
The month is coming to a close.
The new month awaits us all!
A quote about looking ahead:
Finish each day and be done with it.  
You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.  
Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it serenely and
with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
 ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day and be done with it what true words Mr. Emerson shared.
I also share with you this quote to ponder today:
We crucify ourselves between two thieves:  
regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow.  
~Fulton Oursler
Never let your self become that thief.  Stay focused in the task at hand.
Focused not on your past mistakes or others misgivings to you.
Something I too need to incorporate in my life.
With prayers I enter into that direction.  Prayers sent up each day.
May God gently guide you into your new day.
May smiles easily flow from your lips.

Take Charge Tuesday *New* ~ August 30, 2011

A very happy Tuesday sent out to you today : )  Almost the end of August and a new month, with new challenges, new visions and new opportunities.


May this month ahead be your month!


I don't often or have not often shared to much personal happenings in my life on here.  In fact starting in September I probably will share even less in my daily posts.  These posts are meant to inspire and entertain not share the stuff I am going through.  I write out of inspiration and not what I am experiencing at any given moment.


My wife, my love Janice has decided to move on and move back to MI.  There I said it. Yep, done shared and yes I am indeed saddened, angry, upset, sleepless, unexplainable to my logic and common sense.  I personally can't explain it other than she misses her family, ie. her son.


Now my feeling is her son chose to leave her before I came in the picture and she came because of what she saw and new from prior experiences with me. She made some vows last October to marry me, honor, share, in sickness and in health ....oh stop .....never mind that not many people honor those vows anymore.


Oh sure they do if they were raised in the 30's and 40's maybe the 50's but something happened to America in the 60's.  Marriage has become a new wallet to hold pictures and memories and discard when it become old or faded. Marriage has become like a women's purse fashionable when it goes with the event or outfit but discarded for something else later on.  How sad.....


So on my heart will go, flow but not cease of course.  The pain of heartache is unexplainable but of course songs have been made, movies produced and words written to explain it but only if your in the trench of a current outbreak can you understand that those forms of explanation fall short.


I thank those on Face Book who comforted me yesterday, your messages, chats helped me and I value your friendship.  Thank you.



So back to the post.... Taking Charge is the message and of course in September the format or titles will change but this last Tuesday in the month we shall stick with empowerment of taking charge.


First a quote:
God can heal a broken heart,
but He has to have all the pieces.
~Author Unknown


Every morning I give my heart to God, in prayer and in thought.  It keeps me focused and gives me a sense of his strength and outlook for our lives.

God created us to be happy, strong, independent and interdependent of him and his word.  Plain and simple and very clear in his instruction.

His word has that power to instruct and I seek his direction and will for my life daily.

The word overcome came to me last night.  What a interesting dual intent word.

Lets define (Collins English Dictionary)

overcome

1. to get the better of in a conflict
2. often passive - to render incapable or powerless by laughter, sorrow, exhaustion, etc. he was overcome by fumes
3. to surmount (obstacles, objections, etc.)
4.  to be victorious

What a dual word you can overcome in victory and be overcome with defeat.
You can overcome a sickness or illness or be overcome with the same.

Its not like the word Victory, or Good and contrasted bad.

A very unique word that begs for other words to explain its meaning.  How powerful this word but how weak the absence of others to help in its development.

My thoughts for my day to day is to overcome in the positive sense,  Overcome objections in the process of selling, Overcome any heartache in the process of healing.

May smiles be plentiful for you all this day.


May love find you and the simplest of ways.

Love, Share, Dream and Believe!

When we love and we share and we dream and believe that will make all the difference in our development and the development of those we care about.

Staying in Focus on Sunday *New* 08/28/11

A very happy Sunday to you ! ! Smiles sent your way as always.


This day is yours and keeping focus of that fact is key.  Make a difference with your focus, your thoughts and your actions.


This will be the last 'Staying in Focus on Sunday' post in this format. I will continue to write and share with the intention to entertain, educate and inspire you.  Those are my goals and I will stay focused on that as I always have.  I will share more on the changes on Thursday, Sept. 01.


I appreciate your views, your comments and encourage you to visit my home site at www.makemesmileonline.com   It has been recently reformatted as well to give a more easy to view web site. Its mission is clear and I hope to go over 100 members by the end of October. (ok October 27 is my birthday so its a bit selfish to want this for that date.)  We are at 76 right now so if you choose to please jump aboard its free and so are the smiles.



So some quotes on staying focused to start us out!


'When you focus on being a blessing,
God makes sure that you are always
blessed in abundance.'
~Joel Osteen


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


Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives.
One of the best ways we can get the most from the
energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals
can do for us; concentrate our energy.
~Denis Waitley

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

'Focus 90% of your time on solutions and only
10% of your time on problems.
~ Anthony J D'Angelo

May these words help you as we start to renew our energy and reflect on our past month and even more importantly look towards a new month.

The simple sincere smile can and will play a important part of our future.  With a smile kindness is presented forward.  A dark moment in ones life can be brightened even for a moment.  Add some kind words and a encouragement and you have a start of something very special for that person.

We can be that light house for another.

We can all we need is to focus on this and on making a difference.

Stay in focus on making your smile, your thoughts, and your love shine out to the world.

Dream ~ Love ~ Smile ~ Share

Dream for a better day not just for yourself but for others.

Love for unselfish reasons even though when we love the love will return back.  We are energy and so is the rest of the world.

Smile for that morning burst of energy, for the things God has given to us and for the gratitude in our heart.

Share for when we share we will always make a difference.

Pretty simple stuff but we all need that reminder, don't we?

Have a blessed day and smiles sent your way : )

Fun Filled Friday *New* August 26, 2011

Happy Friday to you all : )  My goal this day is of course to give you a chuckle or a laugh and since your here reading this lets chuckle together.


One joke and three video's and a quote to start us off.


"The person who knows how to laugh at himself
will never cease to be amused."
~ Shirley MacLaine





Great concept video with a chuckle or two.


Hope you like this one even more.....





Ok so we did dogs, cats now for the birds.... : )





Now for the joke about the cat who went to heaven:


Once upon a time, there was a cat who died. When she got to heaven, God asked her how she liked being on earth. She told the Lord that it was awful, she had to sleep in cold back alleys where there was no food and life was hard. God told her that he was sorry it had had turned out that way but here, in heaven, she would be happy and He would give her the most comfortable, warm pillow to sleep on. The cat laid down upon the pillow and was happy.


A few days later, about a dozen mice that came to heaven together and God asked them how they had liked earth. Earth was no better for them than it was the cat.


They explained to God that it was tough and exhausting and their feet were worn out from always running from cats and dogs and people. God felt bad for the mice and decided to give them rollerskates.


One day God sees the cat again and asked her how she was liking heaven. She explained that it was absolutely wonderful. The pillow he gave her was the most comfortable place that she had ever slept on, but even better than the pillow were the meals on wheels.


LOL...Meals on wheels indeed.....


Smiles to you this day, the last Friday of the month.


If your in the path of hurricane Irene, please stay safe, the one precious possession that you can't replace is your life.


The other stuff will come and go....but you are irreplaceable.


Have a great day everyone : )

Sizzling Saturday *New* August 20, 2011


Used today as a verb the word Sizzling. 

As in to be very exciting or passionate.

May this today bring you a sizzling touch to your soul, your heart and your mind.

May your senses come alive with the love of life.

May your dreams become vivid and so real that you feel them coming to life.

May your day be filled with sizzling smile that last for hours and may your laughter be contagious for those who live in your life.
My wish for you today, this day.   Happy Saturday everyone!

A quote to inspire:

Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember, you have within you

the strength, the patience, and the

passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

~Harriet Tubman

The passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

What a passion that would be to hold each morning.

Even if you first had the passion to change your world.

When we acknowledge the need for change.

The need to stop smoking. Lose weight.  Walk closer with God. 
Smile more, laugh louder.

What ever the change may be needed in ones life to enjoy with a more passionate nature.
  
To be closer to the creation that God intended for us.

God did not intend for us to have black and clogged lungs.

God did not intend for us to be become overweight and sluggish.

The creation was to be perfect, with out sin, with out lust, with out the need for ten commandments, that came much later.

When we become passionate for change, passionate to become better for ourselves and the world.  We start to slowly sizzle inside, like a steak on a grill we only really need to keep the flame burning.

What ever flame you have within you as you read this, turn it up!  Turn it up and acknowledge what you want to change in your life!

Turn it up!

Decide to cut off any other outcome will develop because you have turned the desire and passion up.

Is it important to have your spirit and soul burn with passion for a cause.  You bet it is!

What is the cause for you?
What is the cause for you?
What is the cause for you?

Think upon that question, a better body, a better health, a better relationship with your spouse, your family.

A better income or monthly budget?
A better walk with God?
A better smile and increased laughter?

Turn it up! Turn up the flame that burns and yearns within.

Turn it up! Listen and feel the sizzle come alive.

Turn it up!

May your day be blessed : )

Smiles sent your way!

Take Charge Tuesday *New* ~ August 16, 2011


Happy Tuesday everyone and here is hoping that you take charge of your day for the good, for the possibility and for the betterment of you and those around you.

Taking Charge is so vital, looking at the event in front of you and saying yes, this is the way I want it to end, starting with the end in mind.

Knowing that when all is said and done this is the way you want things to look.  

No other way is acceptable or probable because you with your heart and soul look for this resolution.

Much of it is action and execution of a well thought out design for your day. But most of it is attitude.

A quote that I find filled with so much truth, by Charles Swindoll:
“The longer I live, the more I realize 
the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. 

It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.

It will make or break a company... a church... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”


Attitude is everything.

Having gratitude.

Being real with oneself and understanding the truth about having a choice.

Even when we choose not to do the right thing we have chosen.

Right -- wrong -- or with indifference we choose our outcomes.

Everyday in every way.

So breakdown that quote by Mr. Swindoll.  Take it apart and ask yourself. How can I choose to be better.

Better for self

Better for family

Better for those whom I come in contact with.

Taking charge is all about choosing the attitude to have and the outcome that comes with the actions.  The effects from the cause. The reactions from your reactions.

Live, Love, Dream big, take steps towards those dreams but always and I mean always love the living you have chosen.

Till next time keep smiling, and keep taking charge of your life.

May you be blessed today and everyday.

Smiles sent across the miles : )
