Check

10 Apr

Everyone wants an easy life where things go well and we can sail along. If we were all alone and there wasn’t anyone else to mess up our plans or make decisions that create problems, it might be possible. But even then, things would go wrong from time to time and we’d have to negotiate a new way forward. Life is filled with all kinds of opportunities for us to learn and grow, some of which we’d like to avoid. Things will get in our way, we’ll face unforeseen complications and we might hit a wall we can’t get over. We never really know what will happen next, but we are smarter and more powerful than we might think we are, and there will often be a way around whatever isn’t working. In the game of chess, when one opponent corners another they may place them in “check” meaning they are facing capture but there is still a way out. This is far different from “checkmate” where they are captured and there is no escape. In our lives we’ll likely face many situations where we feel we’re in checkmate, that we’ve been cornered and there is no way out. However, most of the time if we look carefully and take the time to see everything objectively, we’ll see another option. Of course, if we simply decide we’ve been overtaken, and throw our hands up in surrender, we’ll never know what we could have done. There will be few times in our lives when there will be no options available to us. Most of the time, if we’re careful and patient, we’ll see a way through whatever is happening. Being in “check” is uncomfortable, but it isn’t the end. We are wise and capable, and can find the answers we need. Every road is possible, and even if we get tangled up and turned around, we can find the way forward. We can be sure of success, and step ahead with confidence.

When we make plans for what we want to accomplish, we may feel sure everything will work out. But complications may come up and we get stuck. If all we can see is the one way we’ve already tried, and that didn’t work, we may feel the goal is unreachable. But there is never only one road to any destination. If the first one doesn’t work out, we can try another. If that fails as well, there will be an additional road to travel. By looking at every possibility before us, we can find the way forward and reach success.

There may be a time when we face a situation where we simply cannot achieve what we’re seeking. There may be factors out of our control that keep us from getting to the goal and we can’t move. We can’t control what others are doing or decisions being made that impact our progress. However, change is constant, and if we’re stuck, we can set the goal aside for a time until the situation improves. Nothing stays the same forever, and when things change, we can try again. We are capable and smart, and will find our way.

Today if you feel like you’ve been overcome and there is no way forward, look at all the options around you and see what’s possible. You are very intelligent and powerful, and will find the way forward. Be patient and persistent. Every destination is there for you. Nothing can keep you from your goals forever. Keep your eyes focused on the way ahead, and you will prevail.

Static

9 Apr

There’s a lot going on all around us all the time. There are people going here and there, talking about endless subjects, continual decisions being made, and lots of activity. We live in a world with billions of others and each has their own viewpoints and objectives, and make an impact wherever they are. Like static on a radio, the background actions and noise are constant, humming along no matter where we are or what we’re doing. If we tune into everything that’s happening and try to hear every word, it’ll be impossible to keep our eyes focused on our own goals. We don’t have to know what everyone else is doing or thinking in order to get ahead, and living our lives as a reflection of others is unlikely to bring us happiness. We can reach out when we need to and still keep our eyes focused on our own lives. If we get distracted by what others are doing, we may lose our footing for a time. There will always be another story and another event to pull us away from where we’re headed. We can get involved in anything we like, but if we want satisfying and fulfilling lives, it’s important to remember what our own dreams and desires are, and work on accomplishing them. True happiness will be ours when we do the things that are most important to us and take us where we most want to go. There will always be noise and distractions, and situations will pull on us and take us off track. But we’re in complete control of our lives, and can redirect our focus to our own personal journey. Life is an incredible gift. Creating the lives we truly desire will bring us great contentment. We can do anything, and all our dreams are possible.

Some people think they have the answers for everyone around them. They may try to instruct us about how they think we should live our lives. We can certainly listen to any advice we receive, but we can make our own choices. Nobody knows us better than we know ourselves. We know what we want and have everything we need to achieve any goal we desire. We don’t need anyone else’s agreement to do whatever we choose. Every option is possible and we have everything we need to reach any success we seek.

There are unlimited opinions for everything we can imagine. They may be interesting but they aren’t necessarily based on fact or even reality. They’re just ideas formed by personal experience and interpretation. Everyone is entitled to their own perceptions but we don’t have to share them. There will always be lots of different possibilities and roads to travel, and we can choose our own. We can make any decisions we want, and live our lives according to our own personal preferences and choices.

Today if you’re being pulled in different directions because of all the noise and activity around you, remember where you want to end up. You are in control of your life and can do anything you desire. Focus on what you want the most, and move forward toward the goal. You are intelligent and amazing, and nothing is out of reach. Every goal is possible, and you can have the life you want the most. Step forward with confidence. You can make all your dreams come true.

Forward

8 Apr

Life is complicated. There are times when things outside our control take over, and we can’t move. We don’t know what others are doing, either right beside us, or on the other side of the world. They can make any decisions they want, and sometimes those choices impact us negatively. If we’re suddenly hamstrung, and stuck, and moving forward isn’t possible, we may feel frustrated and worried about what will happen next. How long will this last? How will we ever get to our goals if we can’t move? We might get answers to some of our questions, but others may elude us and leave us hanging. If we’re in a holding pattern and unable to get away, it doesn’t mean our goals will never be possible. It only means we can’t accomplish them right now. Nothing stays the same forever, and indefinite inertia isn’t possible. Things will change and all the roads that are shut and closed will open again. In the meantime, while we wait, we can plan for our next destination. Taking time to prepare while we’re standing still will give us a boost when we can move again. We can set our goals and get ready, and at the first opportunity, jump ahead and proceed toward any destination we desire. A full stop doesn’t mean the journey is over, finished, and concluded. It’s just a pause that holds us in place for a time. Life will continue on. We will be able to move again, and all our dreams will be waiting. Success is still possible and we will achieve all the goals we desire. We can’t control what comes to us, but we can manage it in ways that help us move forward, and continue our journey. Everything is possible, and with patience and determination, we will reach every goal.

The world is a big place, and there are billions of people making endless decisions. Sometimes those choices have far reaching consequences that impact us negatively and bring us to our knees. We have no control over others, and we may get caught up in a situation we didn’t choose, that holds us down. It’s normal to feel angry and upset if we’re restricted and held in place against our will. However, each day the situation will change a little, and in time, we’ll be able to step out and move forward. Change is constant and nothing remains the same indefinitely. Soon we’ll be able to move again, and reach the success we desire.

There are endless goals we can accomplish. We can go anywhere and do anything we desire, if we’re willing to do what is needed to accomplish it. Important, complicated destinations take time and thought to find the best way forward. We can use any down time to plan ahead, and find the best path to any goal we seek. There will always be a way to succeed, and we are smart enough to find it. We can plan for our success, and be ready when the opportunity to advance arises. Every dream is there for us, and we have everything we need to succeed.

Today if you want to move forward but are being held back, don’t worry. Nothing has changed, and all your dreams are still there for you. You are intelligent and capable, and nothing is out of reach. Plan for the future and be confident. Nothing can keep you from any goal you desire. Every success is possible, and you will reach it.

Blast Off

7 Apr

Rockets are amazing things. They’re huge, and powerful, and can travel in space far above the earth. Even empty they weigh thousands of pounds, and once their payload has been added, carry thousands more with them. With such a huge design, it’s impressive to see them take off. The power is incredible. Once they’re airborne, if they’re made and programmed well, they successfully reach destinations far, far away. They take years to design, and many months to create, and each and every step must be checked and checked again to ensure they are correct, and nothing goes wrong. Successful blast off and mission are the goals. If all goes well, all objectives are realized and every destination is achieved. We aren’t rockets but if we want successful, happy lives, our planning is just as important. We may not be traveling to space, but our personal destinations mean as much to us as any successful space venture. There are many things to consider when we want to journey forward toward the goals we desire most. If we look carefully, considering all our options, and attentively plan our way forward, we have the best chance for success. Things may go wrong, and probably will, the road ahead may not be as clear as we thought, and there may be problems and complications that tangle us up and turn us around a time or two. There will rarely be a paved, smooth road from where we are to where we want to go, but we are strong, and if we’re determined, nothing can keep us from the goal. Our lives are ours to design and there really isn’t anything too far away or too difficult for us to reach. We can focus clearly on what we want to do, and then begin the journey, confident we will succeed.

There is a lot of planning that happens before a rocket blasts off. Timing is critical and everything must be in order. When we have a goal in mind, our timing is important as well. Not everything is possible all the time. Looking at all the possibilities before us, and choosing the best window of opportunity will help us reach the goal. If we prepare for eventualities and unexpected changes, and keep our eyes focused on the road ahead, we can reach success. Nothing is out of reach, and we can do anything we desire. We are powerful and strong, and can achieve greatness.

Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, but we are smart enough to formulate a plan that helps us move forward no matter what happens. The road may take longer than we planned, and we may have to backtrack if we get twisted up, but if we keep our eyes on the goal, we will reach it. By taking the time we need to see the way ahead, and then preparing well before we begin, we will pave the road forward with confidence sure we will prevail. We can do anything. The whole world is there for us, and every dream is possible. We will succeed.

Today plan for the goals you want to achieve. Look at all the possibilities, and choose the best way forward. There isn’t anything you can’t do, and every single dream is possible. You are incredible and capable, and nothing is out of reach. Be strong and confident. Nothing can keep you from success, and you will prevail.

Constant

6 Apr

There are times in life when we may face difficult, challenging situations that try our patience and test our strength. They might come because of someone else’s decisions, or because we took a wrong turn, or they may arise out of circumstances we cannot control. If they’re hard to resolve, and take seemingly forever to get through, we may struggle with patience, and feel we’ll never survive. Some problems take a long time to solve, and if we’re stuck, restricted and can’t move, it may take everything we have inside to manage. We may feel overcome by darkness and dread what will happen next. Darkness comes. When it comes and stays, parking itself on top of us, we may begin to believe there is no light. If may feel as if we’ve been forsaken, abandoned, and left in shadow indefinitely. Like being shipwrecked on a deserted island of sorrow, all alone, with no hope of rescue. Nothing is life is permanent, and change will come. No matter how dark and lonely we may feel, there is always light, constantly shining. We may not be able to see it now, there may be dark, heavy clouds over us, but we can trust that despite everything, the sun is still there. It is always shining. There will never be a moment so disheartening and difficult that it won’t be there for us. The sky may be cloudy, black with trouble and strife, but in time it will lift, and light will come beaming through. Hope is always there and if we trust ourselves, and continue forward, we will find the way through whatever we’re facing. Nothing is too difficult for us to manage or strong enough to hold us down forever. We are powerful and invincible. Everything we need to get through whatever we must is already there inside us. Success is always possible, and with patience and determination we will reach it.

Life is unpredictable and we never know what will happen. Sometimes we may get caught up in a situation we can’t control that holds us in place, and keeps us from advancing. It’s hard to stand still when we want to move, and it can be difficult to be patient when we’re stuck. But as we wait for things to change, we can look at our situation objectively and prepare for our next move once things open up again. We are incredibly capable and very creative. We know what we want, and when our situation improves, will move forward to claim it.

If we’re in a holding pattern, we can take some time to review our goals and decide where we want to go. Life can be busy, and responsibilities and every day tasks can distract us from the things we most want to accomplish. Standing still gives us time to evaluate our next steps and make a plan to achieve the goals we desire. Nothing stays the same indefinitely. No matter what’s happening now, things will change. We can prepare for our journey forward, and get ready to move. There is light ahead, every goal is still possible, and we will prevail.

Today if it’s dark, and you’re unable to move toward your goals, remember nothing stays the same forever. There is always light waiting for you just ahead. When the doors open again, and they will, step toward success. Nothing is beyond your reach. Be confident. Every success is still there, and you will reach it.
