Monday Motivation and Becoming Fearless

To go through the woods with out fear.  Not fear of the dark, the owl, the wolves and just stride through as if you own the woods.  For truly with out the fear breaking out of your aura, you truly do own the woods.  The dark is just a blanket that protects the night from the day.



nothing but an obstacle 
remove it
respect fear but remove it from your will to more forward

the only person that can save you is yourself
not another
not the past it will only tear you down or hold you back
you are in control of you now and future


always be ready
never fear


Stay Hungry
always
Stay Foolish

Never give in

Never give up

Fear only that you will allow fear to control you

Don't 

Just live your life and smile

Just as this smile is shared with you : )

Perseverance, knowing that with ever failure we gain a step closer and a lesson learned

To persevere, to carry on and step forward in faith.


Learn the rules and then play better

Stay hungry
Stay foolish
never give in
never give up
stay focused
step forward


keep knocking
keep pushing forward

Keep moving

and know your one step closer

Keep smiling as this smile is sent for you : )

Quote of the day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day ~ Why its necessary to stumble : ) 01/05/2012

“Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing,
with the result we do nothing.
The way to get ahead is to start now.
While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before
we go ahead, others are stumbling along,
fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them.
By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start,
we discover that those who have gone
fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way,
traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a
lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will
not know next year, if you wait.”

~ William Feathers

It is indeed ok to stumble and in fact as we move forward in life it is almost impossible not to have a set back, or trip along the path of progress.  It is inevitable to have growth without some challenges or adversity along the way.
Life Happens ~ Stuff Happens ~ We decide if the stumble is a block in our way or a stepping stone to climb upon.
We decide for ourselves.  Only you can decide for you.
I choose to look at any set back as a set up for future progress and success.
I faced much adversity in 2011 as I am sure many of you have as well.
But I won't back down, I won't quit.  I won't blame others for my misfortune - No I am the captain of my ship and the first mate and I am in charge of the handling of my sails.  Only me.  Your ship is in your control as well.
How will you guide your ship this year?
 What if you see some rocks or some rough waters will you take the time to steer your way out of the trouble.
You won't just drift will you?
You won't blame another will you?
If you take the time to read these and understand that we all stumble then I bet you will take full control of your ship and steer into better waters.
In fact you are right now!  Smile on my friends and stay hungry and stay foolish.  Hungry to make a difference and foolish to ignore those who say you can't.  Smile on!  Enjoy your ride of life this year!
Video of the day

Scripture of the Day 

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.
Romans 14:13 NIV

Have a great day and new year everyone from

Dream, let your magic and genius bring your actions and dreams to life


"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius and power and magic in it."

~Goethe

How fast a month comes to and end.  The seasons in the northeast where I live come pretty fast, the nice thing about Pittsburgh is we get all the seasons.

Fall came and went pretty fast.  But the magic in leaves turning to bronze, gold and yellow.  It is a painting when you drive past our mountains and hills and see the trees in all their glory.

But alas that is gone.  Now the leaves cling to the trees just waiting for the next strong wind to release them from the tree.

Soon the canvas of the ground will become white with snow on a long term basis and the rolling hills will have that blanket of snow covering them where green and fall leaves once rolled.

That is the northeast seasons.  Now in Florida and in the southwest you have more heat, possibility one season and sometimes people yearn for that.  They get the car and they travel to those climates because it feels good to be warm, to stay warm.  Perhaps that will be me one day.

I do love the northeast though and I do love the seasons as they change.

Does winter dream of fall?  Does it cherish the cold, knowing that its time shall soon come.

Does spring enjoy the path of the sun and know that the warmer temperatures will help the spring flowers and grass to grow.  Does spring dream?

Everyone dreams of something better, a passion comes forth and grows inside for something new and something better to come out of those dreams.

With genius, and power and magic creates that boldness that says 'yes I can and I will, I do so that this dream becomes closer.

How many people dream but don't allow the magic to come and quit just before they had that breakthrough.

How many fall short because they feel powerless or lack understanding and they also quit much to early.

Dreaming is just thoughts and day dreams that idle our magic and genius, if we do not allow them to flow with energy and passion for its development.

Dream big, I often close with that and share with you the video that asks you to laugh your cares away, to see the beauty in all around yourself.

It asks you to pray, because troubles do come our way.

But dream big and take your passion and lift it up.

With boldness, with power and with genius.

Dream Big

 


 

Stay Hungry ~ Stay Foolish

Don't allow another to lead you into mediocrity, don't let them say your not good enough, or it won't happen.

Stay hungry for that dream to come true.

Stay foolish to see your dream through no matter how many people doubt you.

Dreams come true everday.

Let your dream find its day with you.

 

Dream Big ~ Laugh Often ~ Smile and Love Always.

An innovator who thought different passes on (Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011) 10/05/2011


I want to put a ding in the universe.

~Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs passed on yesterday and to say that he wanted to put a ding in the universe well he restructured the technological industry.

He was iconic.

A sad day and words do little to polish his legacy and his innovation.

 

 

He thought different

He made the way we listened to music and the how different

He refined the cell phone and brought others to a higher standard

He brought back the computer tablet and called it the Ipad

He made them better

He made our life more enjoyable

He left his ding and left us with words to think upon

 

 

His words:

Stay Hungry ~ Stay Foolish

We will miss Steve Jobs.

We will talk about him and what he brought us for years to come.

May we learn faster from his words.

May we learn more with his innovations.

May we all not cry for what is gone but for what we may have missed.  He was a legend.  He will always be a legend.

Make a difference

Think different

Create something that will make the world a better place

Even if you just polish the light you shine as you walk

Even if you just share a kind word, share the simple sincere smile.

Even if you just stay hungry to make things better.

Even if you just stay foolish enough not to give up when others say quit.

Even if you just follow your dreams, follow your heart and believe in yourself.

What a wonderful world you may leave one day.

May you get to leave your ding in the universe no matter how small, may you leave a ding.

Thoughtful Thursday *New* August 11, 2011



Happy Thursday everyone!  Today is a great day to be alive.  My little mantra for you to take with you:
Today is a great day to be alive, alive to thrive, not just to survive.
Live, Love and Laugh today
and watch how much 
things will go your way : )
Share that with yourself today a few times maybe a little happy jingle and your mind ( the most powerful tool you have) will have a great perspective that goes with you.  
Better than a mind that looks at the world with doubt and contempt. Wouldn't you say?  Hmmmmm?  Smiles sent your way : )
The theme of this post of course is to share and explain and stir your soul regarding thoughtfulness.
So my question to you is are you thoughtful?
Defining thoughtful found in google.com:
thought·ful/ˈTHôtfÉ™l/Adjective
1. Absorbed in or involving thought: "brows drawn together in thoughtful consideration".
2. Showing consideration for the needs of other people: "how thoughtful of you!". 
Are you thoughtful?  Just a question for you to ponder.
Two quotes on being thoughtful:


Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes. 
~ Mary Martin  
****

Who looks outside, dreams;
who looks inside, awakes.
~Carl Jung
It is always great to dream and wonder what life could be like only if?  But it is better to be awoken by thoughtful actions.
Action and belief that what life is now and how much better it could be with a positive thoughtful attitude and a deeper sense of gratitude.
Again I ask are you thoughtful?  By now you probably know I have been asking all this time are you being thoughtful to yourself?
The hardest person to be thoughtful for is often ourselves.
No I am not talking about filling a compulsive action of shopping or eating or treating yourself to a large bowl of ice cream. 
These things can all be great in the right portions of course.
No I am talking about being thoughtful as in kind, gentle, expressive towards your own being and spirit.
Something to think upon today.  Something to pray about along your way this day.

Love and gratitude is so much a part of being thoughtful.
But first it starts with us.

Smile on and share one along your journey today : )

Take Charge Tuesday *New* ~ August 09, 2011


Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a new day, a day to be a little better than the last day.  A day to say I am taking charge of my reactions and I have a cause that will have a profound effect on my life and the life of those around me.
Today! Right now I am in charge of my destiny.
Today I am a mother who is a difference maker with her children.
Today I am a co worker who instead of being someone who tears down another persons spirit I will be a builder of that spirit and give that coworker encouragement instead of something less.
Today I will be an agent of positive change and remove any nay sayer thoughts and words.
Today! Right now I am in charge of something bigger than even me!
Do you feel those thoughts begin to stir in your spirit.  No?  Look in that mirror and say them, look into your eyes and believe them.
Today start to take charge for the good of others not just yourself.
A quote to ramp up this idea:
A very happy Tuesday to you all !  This day is your day.
Everyday is yours of course, free will to do with it what you please. You can live with high expectations for yourself or you can stay in bed all day.  The choices are yours and really they are yours alone.
Oh I hear many of you say I have to get up for work, or get a long list of chores and tasks done.  True it is I am sure but truly the world won't end if you just stopped for a minute or the whole day for that matter.
We know that for every action we take or do not take their is an equal or greater reaction.  Life happens no matter, even if we don't
Todays post is about taking charge in the area of your life, your thoughts and your actions. The area to continue with this weeks theme of sort is understanding and appreciating that every action has a reaction.
First a quote:

To exist is to change,
to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on
creating oneself endlessly.
~Henri Bergson
We all have change in our life.  But it is the one who understands change and is the user of change to make themselves better and those around them that will make all the difference.
Take charge of your day!
Don't let anyone take charge of your life with out your permission.  Oh, some will try but we need ever let them.
Today understand that this is your day and you can make the very best of it.
With your thoughts, actions, smile and words!
Another quote by the French philosopher Henri Bergson:
"The present contains nothing more than the past,
and what is found in the effect
was already in the cause."

How big is your cause?  How big are your dreams?
What is your heart full of? Love -- Joy -- Kindness 
or something less that takes away from this world instead of gives.
The present (the right now) contains nothing more that the past (unless we develop a bigger reason) and what is found in the effect (our results) was already in the cause.
Don't have a big enough cause?  Look around and see the world with curious eyes.  See the world with the thought I am in charge and I want to have a bigger cause.
I choose to be a smile advocate, to teach, to entertain, to enlighten, to inspire others about these things:
The power of a simple sincere smile!
The power of a deep sense of gratitude in ones life!
The power of thought and having the motivation to change for the better.
The power of prayer that can enrich every second of your incoming day.
The power of making a difference by sharing it forward!
If you choose come on aboard and share it forward.
Become a smile ambassador for change!
Become a source of love, of kindness and share in the magic of being different that the status quo.
To smile with sincerity is not the status quo, not in these times.
To teach and live with gratitude in ones heart is not status quo in these times, it is to play at the feet of things and wants more than another persons need.
To choose to make a difference is not the status quo, look around you in every life the status quo seems to say whats in it for me.

Live your life outside the status quo!
Live your life with love and the power, the simple and sincere power that you have the ability to be something great!
Stay hungry and Stay foolish and stay smiling today !
Depends not just on the action taken but the attitude it is taken with that matters even more.
Attitude and especially your attitude as your feet hit the floor in the morning is everything.  It is how you feel, how you breathe and how your body moves that impresses your spirit and soul or depresses your spirit and soul.
Action taken is a reaction that is soon about to take place.
The cause will have and effect.
The cause often is your attitude.
Attitude, your attitude will dictate the outcome of a task even before you start it.
When we breathe deep and think with positive outcomes in our mind this will likely lead to a better outcome than if we are stressed and have less positive thoughts.
Actions come from thought
Thoughts come through your attitudes.
Take time to take charge of your reactions that your given.
They indeed do come from the actions you started the day with.
My day starts with prayer and it often ends with prayer.
Not prayer with requests and wishes but prayer with a thankful heart and spirit.
My wish for you is that you give your morning that quiet moment in prayer not to ask for a better life or day but to give thanks for what you have.
May you be blessed today and every day.
Smiles sent across the miles : )
