Something to Think About

Go for long walks,
indulge in hot baths,
Question your assumptions,
be kind to yourself,
live for the moment,
loosen up, scream,
curse the world,
count your blessings,
Just let go,
Just be.

Carol Shields

When was the last time you “wasted” a day and relaxed, totally relaxed? It takes a heap of courage to let everything go for 24 hours. Here’s a challenge for you and me, let’s take a 24 hour be kind to myself break and as Carol Shields says, “Just let go, Just be.”

Something to Think About

“All things and all people … call on us with small or loud voices. They want us to listen. They want us to understand their intrinsic claims, their justice of being. We can give it to them only through the love that listens.” Paul Tillich

What if each of us were able to listen to another without interruption?

What if each of us were able to understand each another without letting our innate biases color our understanding?

What if each of us felt accepted unconditionally as we are at the present moment?

I speak for myself. I’d like that kind of world. How about you?

Today’s Quote by Descarte ~ Never Quit

You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.

“Love not what you are but only what you may become.” Miguel de Cervantes

 

What do you want to become? Do you dare dream of the impossible, the absurd? What limitations are holding you back? Are the self-imposed? Reach for the stars. They’re waiting for you.

Something To Think About

How badly do you want something now that seems just beyond your grasp?

Do you feel the harder you try, the more illusive it seems? There were similar times in your life when you didn’t quit going after whatever it was you wanted. Can you recall a time where you didn’t quit and you eventually achieved your goal or acquired what it was you desired? Recall your story. Perhaps you may want to share it here to inspire others.

Use the courage and determination already within you to continue your quest. Never quit.

Something to Think About

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

Dr. Seuss

We all faced great challenges. Have you taken a bad event and made good from it? It takes courage. What was the challenge? How did you turn tragedy in something good?
