If you knew that today was your last day and you wanted to write something memorable what would you write? For me, I will say this:

Be the author of your own book. Learn to be inspiring by being inspired.

Learn to see what is around you. Have you ever watched a swarm of birds move with the wind? It is so beautiful and something you miss if you don’t look up. Have you ever seen a plane in the sky and wondered who was on that plane, let your imagination run with it? Have you watched the formation of clouds, how quickly they move, join and disconnect; the sway of a tree as the breezes of the air move around the limbs and leaves. Have you ever really looked at dirt, the colors, the grains, the sand or texture?

Do you ever travel the roadways and never really see what is there? Are you just on a journey and not really enjoying the adventure?

 Did you stop and see the red worm moving across the ground or hear the pine cone fall through the trees and hit the earth with a thunder? Did you come across a beautiful flower you didn’t see from the road or smell the scents of the trees? Maybe you saw an eagle flying overhead and hear his/her caw and notice that one white cloud. Maybe you saw a coyote eating his meal, or notice the wonderful markings on a cow, see a lamb nursing or one frolicking in the field. Did you hear the waves breaking against the rocks or see a seal sun bathing? Did you notice the color of the water, or the smell of the sea air?

You are on a crowded street, ever stop and watch the people? Listen to the sounds of what is around you; the busyness of the day may provide a different perspective then what you normally see.

Here is the tough one; learn to let go. We all know that we cannot change the past. Imagine how much weight those negative thoughts and emotions weigh.  If you could put them in a pile, how big would the pile be? Do you really want to carry all that? Is your health worth caring all those condescending thoughts, anger, fear, and hurt?  Think about it, today is your last day for ever; what does that stuff really matter now?

Read. We are given an opportunity to share in the thoughts of others through reading. Pick up a book it just might be inspiring.

Is your future what you preview in your mind?

Your future is the next chapters that are yet to be written. If you take all the steps written above and apply them today you can write a wonderful tomorrow. Learn to be grateful for what is in front of you, even when you hate it; why? They are the lessons that need to be reviewed and deciphered, pull out the parts that you can learn from to change today into tomorrow.

Remember you are the author and if you don’t like this chapter change it. No one has a right to write your chapter for you. Not your spouse, your family, friends, or employer; only you hold the pen.

Learn to live life with love and laughter. Inspire others.

Moving On

Today is Friday, July 15, 2011 and I want to talk about moving on. Well in my past blogs I have discussed many ideas about working on yourself.  Becoming more, letting go of the past, yes I know you say to yourself how hard it is. And I indeed agree with you, but now is the time for you to become what we have been talking about. 

For me, it is becoming the butterfly I was meant to be, you have to decide for yourself what you are meant to be. 

For me it was about releasing all the programming that others have bestowed onto me. I have one more step to take, not a very easy one mind you, but none the less it is all about moving forward. 

I want to be absolutely free of what others think. Why, because it is not their decision that is important. Remember I have said it does not matter what others think of you, only what YOU think of yourself.

Now is the time to free yourself of all that garbage, free yourself of what others think you need to do, free yourself to be you.

It is so important to listen to your inner self; because that is what is or should be your driving force. That is where you will find the ultimate truth about who you are. It is inside of you, has been all along, now is the time for you to let go and listen within.

Wishing you love, peace and a happy self.

Becoming a butterfly,

What is your Focus? Does it define you?

Well here it is Tuesday, July 12, 2011 and I am reading yet again another book. 

Now this is not the first time I have heard this and I am very sure you have heard the same. “What you think about you bring about.”

Now what does that mean to you?  Please take some time, and really look at what you think about….

For me as I continue on my new journey, I have been changing my thoughts from deep down negative to a more positive approach. I am surrounding my self with a more positive atmosphere with the people I hang around. I am eliminating the negative in my life, one day at a time, one person at a time. 

And guess what; it is working. 

They say that if you hang out with the people that have what you want you will achieve what your heart desires. But it is so much more then that. 

Have you heard the saying “Let go and Let God”? How about; “When the student is ready the teacher will appear”? 

Yesterday on a training call, my friend Sarah Thompson was talking about being negative. This wonderful lady as gone from total financial devastation, losing her home and pretty much everything she owns, having major heart attacks, bleeding out internally, literally dying all the while staying surrounded with positive people who supported her, came to her aid, helped her to heal and she is the most uplifting, positive, heart felt, intelligent person I know. 

Can you imagine yourself having that kind of inspiration to offer to others? Difficult to imagine isn’t it?

Now how do I know Sarah? Sarah is my direct sponsor; she is the person who I contacted through the Success in 10 Steps e-book.   

                

If you are looking for leadership, training, support, guidance, someone to talk too, friendships to develop, let me know. I can point you in the direction you are seeking. Let me show you how you can learn to inspire others…..

Oh, by the way, what book am I reading now….The Room, by James L. Rubart….purchased through Crossings Book club, I hope you buy and enjoy it. 

Also reading…. Developing a Successful Mindset….written by White Dove Books.

Your friend,
