Someone wrote, “If you really want to feel rich, count all the blessings you have that money can’t buy.” Simply stated, but a wealth of wisdom

Giving Love
If one has never been loved, how can one give love. One cannot give what has never been in him to give. Can they?

Striving Still
David Cottrell wrote a book titled “12 Choices…That Lead to Your Success”. This book discussed choices we all must make in our daily lives. Although I could go on and quote the whole book as it is an awesome read, I am going to quote a few things for this post. He stated “Our challenge is to live our character, action and investment choices so naturally that we make the best choices almost subconsciously.” He also recited psychologist Abraham Maslow’s quote, “The human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.” Wow! What a major collection of thoughts in those two lines of words! Why do we often find ourselves struggling to keep living life as we intend to live it? I intend to live my best life, but sometimes things, thoughts, situations get in the way. Yet, I believe I should be able to live my best life even in the midst of those things, thoughts and situations. That is much easier said. However, I strive.
Current Position
I wonder what life would be like if we spent more time focusing on making our current position better than focusing on what is not right and what should be right with our current position?
Trusting Feelings
I once heard someone say, you can’t always go by what you feel. Well, if you don’t trust your feelings, who or what can you trust?

Life Gets in the Way
When life gets in the way;
It teaches us to remember we are not the source of control
When life gets in the way;
It teaches us to look beyond ourselves to see the better part of life
When life gets in the way;
It teaches us to face, grow past, and learn from obstacles
When life gets in the way;
It teaches us to become more than average
When life gets in the way;
It teaches us to sometimes move forward, other times stand still, but always look up
When life gets in the way;
We become our Makers tool,
Yet, we can only become a tool when we allow ourselves to be useful
When life gets in your way;
Get useful;
The way of life, is God

Cultivate Your Spirit
Do we really spend time cultivating what is truly on the inside or do we spend too much time cultivating what is on the outside? Life is about getting to the heart of you and determining that passion that drives you in life. What is it that God has given you that makes you feel best inside? What have you done or do that makes you feel a sense of accomplishment and happy? Whatever it is, do it. Cultivate what brings out the best in you. Too often we get thrown off by environmental factors around us. It happens. Brush those things off and go back to the good part of you. Take time to do a little bit more of that thing that makes you feel good. It can’t grow unless you cultivate it.

Life and Times of You
Think about the last 5 years of your life. Expectations, Memories, Goals. Now, think about the upcoming 5 years of your life. What do you want to do to resolve new expectations, create memories, and accomplish goals to look back on when the next 5 year moment comes? Plan it, Write it, Accomplish it! Know where you are going, how you are going to get there and when you want to be there to get it.
“There are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are different yet they are the same. The success has this over its rivals: He knows where he is going.” Mark Caine

What we seek
Funny how life throws loops. One minute you can be fine and the next…well a challenge. It reminds me of a poem I wrote some time ago titled My Reward. What do we seek? Is it really the list of things man states such as money,success,love? Or is it really wisdom,knowledge, and understanding? Do we not achieve the ultimate in allthese things when we have that type of meat?

Each One Teach One
I just watched the movie The Book of Eli. It is amazing to me how a movie can sometimes have so little in it, so much in it and just enough in it. Although it was never said in the movie, the very end made me immediately think, “Each one teach one”. Not because I believe in one person doing the same thing another person does or did (and that is not at all what I received from the movie), but because I believe when one does what they know they believe in their heart to do, then another can’t help but be inspired to do what is in their heart to do. Isn’t that what we are all meant to do? Live based on what is in our hearts to do? What God gives US to do? If we each do this and if there is one (or more) that seem to get inspired, then there is one more to carry on the great message. Each one teach one. Teach to do what is there. See it, know it, carry it, do it, live it. You automatically teach as a result.
