Thankful for and sharing the gift

We have so many gifts that we forget how blessed we are and that we are called to share the gifts we have.

Being Thankful enough to be a blessing

Only as we realize how blessed we are can we look past ourselves to bless others!

Proper Focus

Focus is the one thing that can defeat us in being the best we can be. Sometimes we can be to introspective but in general I think we don't focus on ourselves in the right way. Focusing on being what we need to be rather that focusing on what others are not. Because if we are what we need to be others can have an example of what they need to be in their lives. We need to focus on being rather than doing. If we are right in our being we will be right in our doing.

Make a difference Pursue patiently Limit your freedom

If we are ever going to make a difference in our lives and the lives of others we are going to have to care about making that difference more than making our point. We are going to have to pursue the truth patiently as we do not all come to truth at the same time and same way. We also sometimes must limit our freedom to allow others to find theirs.

Who’s your daddy? Who or waht controls your life?

All men are given to embrace some power to which they give their loyalty and life. Who is that for you? Yourself, mankind, the cosmos, a philosophy or God.

How do you handle the Storms of life?

Have an attitude of gratitude turning obstacles into opportunities. Realize that resistance makes growth possible in life. Learn to ride the winds of adversity instead of being blown around by them.

Our Joy in life depends on our outlook!

We have a choice each day to be negative or positive in reaction to what happens to us. We also can choose to be grumpy over slights, offenses and losses or to be grateful for our blessings.

Bein Grateful changes your outlook!

You can be grateful for where you are or miserable because of where you aren't

An enemy may just be an unfound friend. Plus peace in the mindfield!

How can you hate someone you do not know yourself? Finding peace in the mind field takes looking at the source of peace and not the turbulence. 

Yesterday is Gone. Tomorrow is not Promised. So live in the Present!

Looking back to much leads to regrets and shame. Looking forward to much paralyzes the present. So, just live in the moment.
