Moving ahead in life (crossing the street) is just another way of bringing clarity about who you are and understanding of “what” lies before you. Though there may be scary things or challenges to that move, it still is a part of life, the “real” life we are supposed to live.
I’ve been tossing around the question: How long does it take to get healthy? My gut tells me several things immediately; first, it depends on what level of health you are seeking and from what point you are starting. Because there are varying degrees of wellness, we have to pay attention to more specific goals in order to get a clear understanding of our progress.
My daughter showed me this today…so worthy of our attention. Let’s be thankful for the generation of young people who will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Well, the topic for today is one that might make a few of you cringe or at least think about whether I have read your mail…so to speak. It’s just too big of an issue to not address here before God and everyone. So, let’s move on.
I had a strong thought today about the topic of accountability and how important it is. When we can share our goals (even the ones in our weak areas) with another, the chances of accomplishing them are so much greater.
My Missy Moo (toddler girl) has been watching this one episode of Barney and Friends over and over again. Though I don’t have anything against the purple dinosaur, it never fails that the songs get stuck in my head…I then proceed to sing them – a common mommy event, I’m sure.
As I was “introspecting” myself, I really wanted to get in touch with what motivates me to keep going, to press through difficulties, to see the finish line…if there is one. The question is really an easy one for me to answer on some levels, but for the deeper issues, it’s not quite as simple.
I promised you a part 2, so here it is. I left you with some questions to answer about various things that might have to do with chronic anger. How did you do with that? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, go here and read part 1 first.
As I stared at the red chicken scratch, I suddenly realized that our lives produce millions of thoughts, events, experiences, skills, and traumas that stay dormant in our minds or forgotten altogether.
Welcome back to our discussion about time management. The question at hand is a rather important one to ask yourself if you want to get to the next level in any area of your life. You can either do what you have to do to keep your time in check or you can let it walk mercilessly all over you.
Just as the honorable, passionate woman brings beauty and love to the table, her counterpart, the naughty, greedy (equally passionate) gal can ruin your life and her own faster than you can say Desperate Housewives.
Do you remember the last time you really knocked your own socks off with a feat of your personal best? The pride that fills your heart; the praise you get from others; the sudden feeling that you have made your mark on the world all melt into your experience like the best hot fudge you’ve ever tasted.
What are you giving? How do you present YOU to the world? What gifts and talents are pouring out of you regularly? Do you spend too much time wishing that you could do something different only to miss living the life you have?
A woman’s day is filled with opportunities. We give, receive, love, hate; we choose in which direction our lives go; we seek truth or we settle for less. It’s up to us to find true joy and fulfillment.
“The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created–created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.”
