Positive Thought of the Day ~ Embrace the Challenges

“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” Joseph Campbell

 

NOTE: I was out of town this past week. I took an early morning walk. A woman, walking in front of me, wore a t-shirt with the following message printed on the back of her shirt: “If it’s not challenging, you’re not changing.” Wow, there is truth in that statement. Easy may be nice, but it doesn’t give us the opportunities to grow, to discover the stuff we’re made of. Embrace the challenges. You’ll discover your stronger and tougher than any challenge that comes your way.

Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Smile and Smile Often

Smile at everyone. Smiles can be highly contagious and dealing with nice people will make your day much better.  Projecting a warm feeling encourages others to send it back to you.  Set the tone for your day by sending out positivity and kindness with a smile. Source

 

NOTE: Smiling is a wonderful gift we give to ourselves and others. It tells us that the universe is a friendly place and life is good. It tells others they are loved and a friend is nearby. A warm smile is priceless, it can lift another’s spirits.

Smile big, warmly, and often.

Poem of the Day ~ Promise

Promise

Georgia Douglas Johnson

Through the moil and the gloom they have issued
    To the steps of the upwinding hill, 
Where the sweet, dulcet pipes of tomorrow
    In their preluding rhapsodies trill.

With a thud comes a stir in the bosom,
    As there steals on the sight from afar,
Through a break of a cloud’s coiling shadow
    The gleam of a bright morning star!
