Timing is everything. There’s a right time to speak and a right time to listen. There’s a time to take the lead while there’s also a time to step back and watch things develop.
Your time is now. Unwrap the dreams of your heart and act on them. You won’t have everything figured out beforehand so don’t concern yourself with every little detail. Just act.
There has never been a better time than now…
Depression is real. There are multiple types of depression: clinical, seasonal, post-partum and more. Where someone says they are depressed, please listen to them without judgment.
The hopelessness of depression can lead to all types of irrational behavior. How many times have you heard of or experienced someone who took their own life, yet they had everything? It doesn’t make sense to those of us who aren’t depressed, but it was very real to them.
The holidays can bring on weird moods. Please raise your awareness to what your friends, family and colleagues are saying. They might need a listening ear…
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…
The very moment you were born you altered history. That’s right! You are part of the story of the world.
Use this revelation as fuel to create your legacy. Blaze a trail. Leave your mark. Find out why you are here and pursue it with everything you have in you.
It’s your time. Make something of it…
In 1854, Henry David Thoreau wrote, “Most men live lives of quiet desperation, and die with their song still in them.” Do you want to die unfulfilled? I don’t think you do.
Let’s go on a journey together to find purpose and meaning in our lives. The first thing to do is pray. Ask God to show you the way to your higher purpose. Then ask God for the courage to follow through and do it.
Step two is to take an inventory of what you are good at. What makes you feel alive? Write everything down. Keep your list with you and add to it as things come to light.
Step three is to begin. Start moving in the direction you are led in. Don’t concern yourself with having everything figured out beforehand. The pathway will open as you take steps. Be fearless.
Expect setbacks and frustrations. They are natural. Work through them and keep moving forward.
Finally, thank God regularly that He is on this road with you. Thank Him for guidance and for lifting hurdles.
Start now. Do not hesitate. I look forward to seeing you on the road less traveled…
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…
Do you have any flaws? I certainly do. One thing I’m grateful for is the fact I can recognize my shortcomings, and I’m willing to work on them. This isn’t easy.
Accepting ourselves as we are is a struggle for many. We know ourselves and our history of making mistakes. Those can put a chink in the armor. Yet, most of us are trying to improve ourselves and our character. This is a lifelong battle.
Look at yourself objectively. Think of ways to improve yourself. Then take the first step towards a better life as a better version of yourself…
Books have been written and speakers talk about achieving work/life balance. I believe the ones who propose this is possible are charlatans trying to make money off what people desire.
Living fully means giving your all to life. Something will be out of balance. Always. Prioritize what is most important in your life and try to limit your list to three things. Then commit yourself to making a difference in those things.
Along the way you will have to learn to say no. The first time is the hardest. Setting boundaries is a healthy habit!
Find your why and then give it your all. Balance isn’t necessary…
On Thursday of this week, we celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. It’s the one day of the year where people take time to reflect on what they are grateful for.
Gratitude should be actively practiced every day. If you woke up this morning and you are reading this, be grateful that God gave you another day to live. Life is routine and we take things for granted. Only when the unexpected occurs do we snap out of our comfort and live differently.
Look around. There are miracles everywhere. And then be grateful you noticed them…
