Laughter is the best medicine, isn’t it? There are some other great medicines we might overlook. Consider the following treatments: exercise, sunshine, sleep, human interaction and peace of mind. These help us recharge and heal. Our bodies were made for natural remedies, not pills.
Take your health into your own hands. Be your biggest cheerleader because you’re going to need a cheering section. Don’t quit when you feel like giving up, and you will. Prepare yourself for something great to begin…
The beginning of the new year is right around the corner. Many people set New Year’s Resolutions, vowing to change some things in themselves. But why wait until January 1st? Start now.
Think of how far you will be in three weeks when 2024 actually arrives. Focus on how you will feel. You aren’t giving anything up. You are investing in yourself.
Start tomorrow on the renewal of you. Better yet, start right now…
My older siblings were Straight A students all through school. Not me. I was an A, B, C and D student. Report card day was always a stressful day for me. My teachers and my parents labeled me as dumb. I wasn’t dumb. I was bored.
There are people who were labeled who accepted the label whether it was true or not. They have succumbed to external opinions rather than listening to their own inner voice. This keeps people from living fully. The judgments of others don’t matter. There is one judge and his name is God. He is the only one who gets to define who you are.
If you struggle to overcome being labeled, my encouragement to you is to find your confidence in yourself. Remember who created you. It wasn’t those who labeled you or want to continue to keep you boxed in. God made you, and that’s good enough for me…
The culture of today will tear you down if you get caught up in it. Fear of missing out, likes and shares of our social media posts and comparison will suck the life out of you if that is your focus. How do you maintain a positive mindset in this environment?
Self-work along with self reflection are vital components to maintaining the right attitude. Work on being the best version of yourself. This work never ends because there is no arrival destination. We are all works in progress or works in regression. If you ever think you’ve hit the top, you haven’t.
Take the time to reflect on how you are doing. Be accountable and fair with yourself, but don’t be too hard on yourself, either. Hold yourself to a high standard and don’t compromise your values. Stay focused.
If you find yourself missing today’s crazy culture, it will still be waiting for you to return. I don’t think you will…
Every year you and your family and friends are creating memories. Are you creating a record of them?
Legacies are handed down over generations. We must preserve them or all will be lost over time. There is no way you can remember everything, so write it down. Keep it safe for others to enjoy.
Take the time to make a record of your life. The written word is the best way…
Aging doesn’t suck. There are a variety of benefits to getting older. You have acquired wisdom, you approach things more methodically, your relationships gain importance, and you have learned what is important in life.
Young people would be wise to pick the brains of older people. Learn from their mistakes. See opportunities previously unseen.
And remember, you are like a fine wine. You get better with age…
Retirement is something many people look forward to. They dream of doing the things they always wanted to do, and now they have the time.
Studies demonstrate that retiring might not be the panacea we hope it is. In fact, the later in life that you retire, the longer your life expectancy. Many people experience mental health problems. Their daily sense of purpose is gone.
Why not do the things you always wanted right now instead of waiting? We truly don’t know how long we will live. Go find yourself and live now.
Experience life. Engage. Dream. And then go do…
Do you have things you dread? I believe we all have them. But our approach makes the difference.
Attitude is everything. Tackling the things we want to do least and making them our first priority gets them off our backs. Confidence grows, and the remainder of our daily is all downhill.
Do the things you don’t want to do before you do anything else. You will be glad you did…
The statement, “we should do it this way because we’ve always done it this way” is backwards thinking. Companies have gone out of business because of this limited thought process. We must be better.
Conditions change. We evolve. Our thoughts, guided by the Creator, should be focused on seeing possibilities. We renew ourselves which benefits others immensely.
Get rid of the old ways if they are not serving you well. Move into the creative side of your mind. It’s waiting for you…
It has been said that ignorance is bliss. Sometimes I believe this to be true.
Some people live in an echo chamber, and they refuse to listen to anyone who disagrees with them. These types of people are self-righteous and believe they are an authority. I believe they are simply arrogant.
Dialogue is essential for civility. Take the time to listen to someone you don’t agree with. Maybe you don’t even like them. But when we listen, we have an opportunity to learn and grow…
