Big Hammer

19 May

Life is unpredictable and we never know what will happen next. We may be comfortably rolling along, humming a little tune, looking forward to the next turn, when BAM! something unexpected happens that knocks us completely off course. It’s unsettling and disruptive when a big detour or complete blockade suddenly appears out of nowhere, and we may be stunned and momentarily overwhelmed. Crap happens, and sometimes it happens to us. It’s just how it goes. Nobody gets a free pass where every day is all sunshine and roses. We’re all going to face difficult days and trying times at one point or another. When it feels like a big hammer has come down on our lives and we’re paralyzed and unable to move, we may think we’re done and will never be able to move forward again. Trouble may come, but it’s impossible to hold us in place forever. Nothing stays the same indefinitely, and in time, however long that takes, things will change, and a door will open that will allow us to move ahead again. While we wait, we can accomplish other things that are available and prepare for when our situation improves. It’s hard to be patient and stand still when we want to move, but we can use the time to plan for our next move and be ready for when things change. Life is uncertain. No matter how diligently we plan and how carefully we prepare, things will go awry from time to time. By being confident and flexible, we can adjust to developments as they arise and continue forward. Every single destination is there for us, and if we can’t get to it today, we can prepare to reach it tomorrow. We have everything we need to accomplish anything we desire. Nothing can keep us from any goal and with determination and focus, we will succeed.

There may be times when there is the possibility of something going very wrong where we’ll face a big disappointment. We may be consumed with fear and dread just imagining what could happen. Being overwhelmed with worry can stop us in our tracks and keep us from seeing all the options available. Possibilities are not facts – they may or may not happen. Until we know for sure how things will progress, we can choose to focus on what’s going right and confidently look toward the future.

Sometimes we may face the proverbial tempest in a teapot. We may worry and obsess over a seemingly big storm that turns out to be nothing. Since we can’t see the future and don’t know what will happen until it does, we can focus on what is working for us, and let go of unrealized concerns. No matter what happens, even if our worst fears are realized, we will find our way. We are intelligent and wise, and nothing can keep us from success.

Today if you’re worried about a development you can’t control, remember how capable and strong you are. There isn’t anything too difficult for you to manage and manage well. You are amazing and more powerful than you realize. Look ahead with confidence. Every dream is still there for you, and you will reach them all.

Making It Ours

14 May

Strong, healthy relationships embellish our lives. It’s good to build connections with others and share our lives with them, and when we do, we may find great comfort and satisfaction in their company. Most people are kind and welcoming, will value our friendship and association, and treat us with respect. But there are all kinds of people in the world, and we may get involved with someone who is unpredictable, unreliable, or dysfunctional. If we build relationships with them, and spend a lot of time interacting with them, they may create trouble and bring havoc into our lives. If we care for them, we may find ourselves excusing their bad behavior and even taking the blame for them when they act out. Making their issues ours will never fix the problem or bring us happiness. When we first get to know someone and they let us down, we may excuse it because we understand they’re struggling. As time goes by and they fail to follow through again and again, we may continue to give them additional chances and try to be patient. It’s noble to be patient with others but it’s not appropriate to constantly excuse bad behavior if it hurts us. We are valuable and should be cherished and treated with the utmost care and respect. If someone close to us continually breaks promises and leads us along time and again, it is appropriate to step away. Nothing can be gained by being constantly let down and hurt. We can be polite and kind, and let others own their problems by removing their negative influence from our lives. Dysfunctional relationships never work. We deserve complete happiness and can make decisions that will bring it to us. By valuing ourselves, we can step forward with confidence and choose the best roads moving forward. Happiness is there for us, and we have everything we need to reach it.

When we’ve been in a relationship for a long time, it may be hard to walk away even if we’re unhappy. We may feel the weight of history, friends and family may encourage us to tough it out and stay, and we may not want to hurt the other person’s feelings. A lot of things may come into play, but there are no valid reasons to stay in a relationship that isn’t working. Nothing is worth the price of our happiness. Changing direction and starting over isn’t simple, but we are smart enough and strong enough to change anything at any time.

Nobody knows the details of any relationship, but the parties involved. What people see on the outside is just a small representation of the whole picture. Our lives belong to us and we don’t need to feel compelled to explain any decision we make. We know what we want and have everything necessary to reach any goal. We are stronger and more powerful than we imagine and can do anything we desire. By trusting ourselves, and doing what is necessary to be happy, we will find great comfort and satisfaction.

Today if you’re not happy in your current situation, make a plan to change. The future is yours to design, and you deserve the best of everything. Be confident and trust yourself. Every single blessing is there for you. You are amazing and powerful, and every dream is waiting. Step forward on the road that will make them yours.

More to Come

12 May

We achieve a lot of personal goals as we go through our lives. When we’ve reached the end of a long journey, if it’s been hard, we may take a rest and sit for a while enjoying our success. It’s nice to get to a desired destination, but we are always changing and there is always something new that captures our attention. No matter where we are or how far we’ve moved forward, there will always be more to come. Options do not disappear simply because we’ve reached a goal. They will still be there and when we’re ready to reach for something new, we can begin on a new road. Life is all about learning. Everything we do teaches us something as we progress from one thing to another and get closer to the person we want to be. The possibilities are endless, and we are only constrained by the limits we put on ourselves. Our lives are ours to design. If we want a small life that’s easy and predictable, we can stay where we are and do the same things. We can limit our exposure to new ideas and destinations and be happy with what we have. But if we want to see what’s out there, and open every door we can, our world will be expansive and filled with new experiences and possibilities. It’s all up to us, but we must decide what we want. If we don’t take control of our lives, they will roll out according to where we are and what those around us are doing. One thing is certain – it’s impossible to get the lives we want the most by sitting still and doing nothing. It can be intimidating and unsettling to think about stepping onto a new road that is unfamiliar and foreign, but if we don’t take a chance on something new, we will remain where we are. Every destination is possible, and we can do anything. We can have the lives we dream of and reach great success.

There is nothing wrong with staying in place and keeping everything the same if that’s what we want to do. Everyone wants to be comfortable, but once we’ve mastered the situation we’re in and there is little left to be learned, our personal growth will slow, and we’ll lose the refreshment that new ideas and experiences bring. By making the most of our time, and reaching further for something new, we’ll be enriched, and our sphere of influence will expand. We have so much to offer and reaching for something new will bring us great blessings.

Everyone has their own ideas about life. Someone may have an idea about how we should live our lives and what we should do. We’re all entitled to our own opinions, but nobody knows what we want more than we do. We’re in control of our lives and don’t need agreement to do anything we desire. The sky is the limit and we’re in charge. By deciding what we want the most, and then doing what we must to make it ours, we will find great satisfaction and happiness.

Today if you’ve been standing still, enjoying your routine but want something more, look at all the possibilities around you. You can do anything and go anywhere. Choose the road you desire, and step forward. Everything is possible, and every destination is waiting. Be confident, and you will succeed.

Because

7 May

Life is filled with opportunities and possibilities. There are endless things we can do and unlimited places to go. The earth is huge and even if we traveled every day of our lives, we’d never see it all. The same is true of the opportunities available. There will always be more options possible than we can take advantage of. We can do anything we want but sometimes we stay where we are and continue in a situation that isn’t fulfilling for a lot of reasons. We don’t know how things will go, how hard it will be to get there, how long it will take, and we may be afraid we’ll fail. There will always be many reasons not to do the things we want the most, but they are just complications and we can manage them as they come. The only reason to change our lives and step forward toward the dreams we desire, is because we want them. That’s all we need. We only need to desire the change more than we’re afraid of what it will take to get it. We can think about what we want, dream about how it would be if we achieved it, and make plans until the cows come home, but until we start, they will elude us. Every dream is possible, and the road ahead is already there for us. When we’re ready to move, we can step forward and move closer to the goal. After that, we can step forward again. Our dreams only seem out of reach until we begin to make them ours. One step will lead us to the next, and if we continue, in time, we’ll reach the goal. Our lives belong to us and we can design them any way we like. If we want a change, we must be willing to step into the unknown, and trust ourselves to succeed. Foreign territory can be intimidating, but it’s only foreign until we make it ours. The first step is often the hardest, but once we break the mold, each step will be easier. Every single destination, every single dream is there for us. We can have the lives we want the most. We just need to begin.

Some people are very comfortable with routine. They like things to stay the same and don’t appreciate it when others rock the boat. If we have a relationship with them and share our ideas about a change we’re considering, they may try to talk us out of it. They may tell us it’s not a good idea, it will be too hard, we should be happy with what we have or a thousand other reasons. We can listen to any advice they offer, but nobody knows what we want more than we do. We already have everything we need to prevail, and nothing can hold us back from success.

Mediocrity is easy to achieve. We can coast through our lives and wait for things to improve on their own to a situation we desire. Waiting for life to make our dreams reality is like waiting for the sun to shine at night. It’s not going to happen. Everything is possible, but we must do what is needed to make it ours. Change is constant, and nothing is out of reach. By choosing the roads that take us to the destinations we desire, we will find great satisfaction and happiness.

Today if you’ve been waiting and wishing for your dreams to come true, create a plan to make them yours, and step forward to claim them. Every single possibility is there for you. You are amazing and powerful, and will reach every success you desire.

Two Roads

29 Apr

The world is filled with opportunities and possibilities. There will be few times when we have only one possible way forward, and often there will be several options and roads we could choose, and many different prospects ahead. We’re in control of our lives and can design them any way we desire, but where we go depends on the choices we make. Every decision will take us somewhere and change something, and if we’re not paying attention or don’t look before we jump, we might end up somewhere we never intended to go. When we’re standing at the crossroads between going one way or another, the direction we choose will decide what comes next. Two roads may look the same, and we may not be able to see beyond the first curve. There may be no obvious difference at first, but they may end up at entirely different destinations. So how do we choose? There is no way to read the future, but by learning everything we can about the choices available, we can trust ourselves to make the best decision. We can step forward on the road that will lead us to the destinations we want most, and then continue forward until we reach the goal. Life is complicated and there will always be unforeseen developments that may slow our progress, problems may arise that stop us for a time, and we may need to take a detour or two. But if we’re determined to continue forward, nothing can keep us from success. When two roads lie before us, and we must choose, we can take our time, and decide what we want most. We are capable of making excellent decisions and can choose the direction that takes us to the future we desire. Every single possibility is already there for us and nothing can keep us from reaching any destination. By trusting ourselves, and stepping forward with confidence, we can make our dreams come true.

Our lives are often busy. It’s easy to get caught up in routine responsibilities and set our personal goals aside. We may think we’ll get to them when things slow down, but life is complex, and there are few times when everything falls into place perfectly. Our personal dreams are important, and when we’re ready, no matter what’s going on around us, we can begin toward them. The life we want the most won’t just happen because we desire it. We must create it. Every possibility is there for us, but we must decide to step forward and claim it.

Indecision and procrastination are powerful and can hold us in place indefinitely. If we simply think about what we want instead of making a decision and stepping forward, we’ll go nowhere. If we continually put off choosing something, time will pass, and nothing will change. We can have the lives we want, but we must create them. We can be confident, choose the roads we desire most, and then move toward success.

Today if you’re trying to decide which way to go, trust yourself. You know what you want and have everything necessary to succeed. Look at all the possibilities before you and choose the road that will take you where you want to go. Everything is possible and nothing is too far or too difficult to reach. Step forward with confidence. Nothing can keep you from success and all your dreams can come true.
