We live in an imperfect world, where failures, frustrations and setbacks come our way. It seems like every time we get our lives together we only get knocked down again.
That’s okay. No matter what you see on social media, everyone has struggles. The most perfect-looking people are dealing with stuff we don’t know about. It’s important to remember, we are in this beautiful life together. Encourage others. Strengthen them. And when you find yourself in a battle, keep going, no matter what…
What do you believe, truly believe to be true? I ask this because whatever you believe with emotion attached to it will come true.
It’s just as easy to believe in positive, enriching outcomes as it is negative ones. You must train your mind…
Empathy is shared experience. Who is better qualified to talk with an alcoholic than another alcoholic? In fact, talking about their drinking experiences is how Bill W. and Dr. Bob came to be the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The pain and struggles you have gone through can be used to help others. Our world needs encouragement and hope. Your pain has purpose. Don’t waste it by keeping it to yourself…
The division in our country is destroying us from within. Was Khrushchev telling the truth when he said, “we will bury you and we won’t have to fire a shot?”
We aren’t opponents. We are citizens who, hopefully, stand up for what is right and true. Just because someone disagrees with your politics doesn’t make them a bad person.
Stand up and speak out for goodness. Otherwise, we will prove the communist to be correct…
It’s amazing how much clutter you can accumulate over the years. Most of it sits in piles and is useless.
We clutter our minds, too. Whatever we read, watch or discuss with others is stored forever. We can filter a lot of the noise by not watching the news, listening to the pandering politicians or engaging in gossip. Focus on good books, art and music. Then observe how your mood changes when you eliminate the junk…
What did you think when you saw the title of the blog? Maybe you pictured someone who is in great physical shape. Perhaps you thought of yourself in the gym.
Fitness is more than just the physical. We must exercise mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well. The more we work at it, the stronger we became in all those areas. Take care of yourself so the best version of you shines through…
We live at the speed of light, always on the go. We aren’t meant to be workaholics. We need human connection, play and rest.
Give yourself permission to take it easy sometimes. Rest and relax. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be any good to anyone else…
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends…” Jesus Christ
Whatever you celebrate, whether it’s Easter, Passover or nothing at all, I hope you have a peaceful, meaningful weekend. Peace…
I’m impatient. We live in what I call a “FedEx Society” where we want it now. I want it yesterday. Life doesn’t work instantly. It takes time to build a home, grow tomatoes or raise children.
Slow down a little. Invest time in what you are involved in. Live with purpose, not impatience…
There is goodness all around us. Sometimes it seems hard to find because the crazies get a lot of attention, but goodness is everywhere.
If you aren’t witnessing good, then I encourage you to take it upon yourself to do good. Do something for someone who can never repay you. Be good…
