Time to Stop

29 May

Everyone has goals and dreams they want to pursue. We all have our own desires and dreams about what we want to accomplish. We can do anything we like, but not everything will always be possible. We may dream of running a marathon, but because of circumstances beyond our control may not be physically able to accomplish it. Maybe we imagine being a super model but we’re far too short to make the cut. We can dream and wish and hope, but if we aren’t physically able to run the distance, or meet the standard, there will be no way to succeed. Nobody gets a perfect life with only paved roads to success. Everyone one has their own issues and limitations. If we’re determined, we can try to do everything in our power to overcome whatever is in the way, but if all the trying, and working, and pushing doesn’t help, it may be time to stop. Although every dream is possible, there will likely be times when what we want isn’t available to us. If it’s something we really desire, it’s disappointing to realize and hard to accept the goal is not within our reach. If we can’t actually run the marathon, or walk the runway, there will be other ways to be involved. It’s possible to modify our plans when we must, and still find fulfillment. Recognizing what is truly possible, and then moving forward with clarity and wisdom will help us find success. There are endless dreams and opportunities and if one road is closed there will always be another to take. We can decide how we want to proceed and by looking at everything openly and honestly, will find great satisfaction and happiness.

When a child is born with a talent, their family may push them to pursue it to perfection. They may see any other possibility as a waste. Talents are wonderful gifts, but just because we’re born with an innate ability to do something doesn’t mean it must define our whole lives. A gifted musician may push toward concert performance, and endure endless hours and years of practice to reach that goal. Or they may instead decide to use their gift in other ways. There is no one perfect way to do anything. We can decide how we want to express and share whatever gifts or talents we possess and find personal contentment our own way.

Tunnel vision may help us effectively reach a goal, but if all we see is the road ahead, we will miss the enrichment and embellishment of what’s happening around us. Everyone around us has something unique to offer, and different perspectives give us a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We can pursue the goal, and still take time to look around and interact with others. There are answers everywhere, and when we’re open to seeing them, the road ahead will be easier and more joyful.

Today if you’ve been trying and trying to reach a goal but because of things you can’t control it has been unattainable. Look at everything objectively and decide if it’s time to stop and go in a new direction. There are endless destinations possible and the inability to reach one doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You can choose another way forward and find success.  You are amazing and more powerful than you realize. Choose your next step forward and proceed with confidence. There is great success just ahead, and you will reach it.

Choosing Kindness

17 Apr

We make millions and millions of decisions as we travel through our lives. Some are inconsequential and don’t impact us, and others are more important and can be far reaching. It really won’t matter in the long scheme of things which shirt we decide to wear today, but our lives may be intensely impacted by who we marry, where we work, and with whom we affiliate. If we’re careful and take our time to make the best decisions we can, we may avoid complications, but even then, unexpected things may arise that give us heartburn for a time. Everyone has their own ideas and opinions regarding what they’re doing and what’s happening. If we feel others are missing the mark and we have the right answer, we may disregard them and push them aside. Everyone has something to offer, and nobody knows everything. If it’s important to us that others accept our opinion, we may insist that our idea be the one chosen. We might have the best answer and we might not, but one thing is certain. If we demand that our views are the only ones permitted, we’ll never get the chance to see what others have to offer. We’re entitled to our own opinions, and so is everyone else. Being right might be important, but if we must choose between being right or being kind, what we choose will determine what comes next. Our relationships are important and how we treat them often sets the tone going forward. If we value everyone’s point of view, and treat them with kindness even when we disagree, we will keep the lines of communication open, and protect our connections. We can share our own viewpoints, and be confident in allowing others to share theirs.

Our ideas are important, but not everyone will agree with us. We don’t need permission to do anything we desire, and we don’t need others to align with our choices. However, if we’re in a situation where we must follow someone else’s lead, and we disagree, we can still move forward with grace and patience. We don’t always have to be in control. Everyone has good ideas and there are many roads to every destination. If we must go along with something we didn’t choose, we can do so with determination and focus, and reach success.

If being right is the most important thing to us, in the rush to make others agree, we may forget how important our relationships are. We all want to be heard, and nobody wants to be bullied or pushed around. If we’re sure we have the answers, we can express our opinion with patience and kindness, and then ask for support. Others will be more interested in hearing our proposal if we’re considerate and open to their opinions as well. We are smart and capable, and with patience and grace, will accomplish all our goals.

Today if you’re sure you have the best idea for moving forward, share your thoughts with those around you and allow them to contribute. Be kind and open to other opinions and reach consensus that involves everyone. You are amazing and talented, and can accomplish anything you desire. Build connections as you move forward, and you will reach every destination. Nothing will stop you from achieving success.

Hats

9 Mar

Our lives are filled with endless opportunities for growth, change and the ability to move ahead. We can decide what we want, and then look at all the ways forward that will take us there. We have many talents and each day we get the chance to do something new. Like trying on different hats, we can choose which we like and what fits before we move forward. Some hats may be too big, and at the first gust of wind, blow away never to be seen again. Some may be too restricting and uncomfortable, and it’s difficult to get them on and wear them for any period of time. However, some hats will fit us perfectly, and we can put them on and wear them with confidence moving forward. Our lives and the things we do reflect all the choices we make and the goals we want to achieve. We are highly capable and can do anything we set our minds to, but there may be times when what we want to accomplish doesn’t fit into our lives at this time. If we’re too busy, that hat may be too tight. If we haven’t clearly defined what we want to accomplish, it may be too loose, and we need to wait until we have a better idea of what we want to do. Not everything is possible when we want to do it. If the goal isn’t available right now, we may need to set it aside until things change. We can review our objectives, look at all the options possible and then decide what works best for us. Life is long and there will always be many opportunities available to us. Once we decide what we want, we can plan the way forward and move toward the goal. Everything is possible, and with patience, determination, and focus, we can have the lives we want the most.

Everyone is different and we all have varying talents and gifts that enhance our lives and the lives of those around us. Our individual contributions are what make the world interesting and rich with differences and interpretations. Some are good at one thing, some at another, and each offering adds something new to the equation. Nobody can do everything well, but altogether we can blend our talents and create something amazing and incredible. Every idea has worth and value, and working in tandem can bring about results beyond our imagining. We are powerful and wise, and bring great depth to the world around us.

We’re all good at many things but nobody is good at everything. Maybe the negotiation hat doesn’t fit us well, but we’re good at listening. Maybe we can’t manage the technical realm but we’re excellent at interpersonal communications. Understanding where our talents lie, and then making the most of them will enrich our lives and pave the road ahead. We all have a lot to offer. Recognizing our unique gifts and sharing them with those around us will bring us great depth and understanding.

Today, look at all the possibilities before you and decide what you want the most. Make a plan and take the first steps forward. You are smarter and stronger than you imagine, and every goal is possible. Choose your destination and with determination and focus, move toward it. Nothing can keep you from success. Be confident. You can make your dreams come true. Every goal is possible, and you will win.

Right Now

1 Jan

There are unlimited things we can do in our lives and endless goals we can accomplish. When we have a lot of different ideas about what we want to do next and want success to come quickly, we might try to do many things at the same time. It’s always possible to work on more than one goal at a time, but trying to travel many roads at once doesn’t always make the journey go faster. We are highly capable of succeeding at anything we desire, but if we try to do too much, we may get overloaded and unable to move forward. It’s impossible to be completely focused on more than one thing at any time. We can decide what we want the most, and then keep our eyes trained on the way ahead. Our success depends on how effectively we move toward the goal and how we manage any complications that may arise. Every goal is possible and with careful planning we can achieve them all. We can focus on what we want to do today, and manage what’s happening right now, and when we do, have a better chance of reaching the destination. Spinning around in circles trying to manage many different objectives at the same time may keep us from finishing anything. We can stop and see what’s in front of us right now. There is no need to worry about what will come later, how things may change tomorrow, or what may get in the way. We need only focus on the next step forward. Each step we take will open another door ahead, and move us closer to the goal we want to accomplish. With focus and determination, we will find success. We are powerful and wise, and know what we want. There is no detour or complication that can keep us from our goals. Everything is possible, and we can have the lives we desire.

The world is full of ideas and suggestions for success. Everywhere we turn there are invitations and recommendations to do this or that to achieve something new. Those around us may offer endless advice and we can certainly listen to anything that’s helpful. But in the end the road we choose is up to us. We don’t need permission to do things our own way and never have to follow anyone else’s idea of the way ahead. We can design our lives any way we like and reach any destinations we choose.

We all have unique talents and abilities. What works for one person may not be effective for another. There are endless approaches to every goal and never only one road to any destination. Those who have reached the success we desire may tell us their way is the best way to move ahead. We can follow anyone we like, but we are intelligent and can design our own road. We know what we want, and with patience and focus, can reach any goal and find success.

Today if you’ve been trying to accomplish many things at once and feel like you’re spinning your wheels, stop and decide what you want the most. Choose the next step that will take you closer to the goal, and step forward with confidence. Take it one step at a time and you’ll reach success. You are amazing and powerful, and nothing is beyond your reach. Every goal is possible and you can make all your dreams come true.

Hold Me Up

1 Mar

There are times in everyone’s life when things get complicated and we feel unsure.  The way ahead may be confusing, we may stumble trying to find the right road, and might feel we can’t succeed.  When we feel weak or lost we may be tempted to latch onto someone else and depend on them for strength.  It’s good to rely on others and work together when life is difficult but there are limits to how much that will help.  Our lives belong solely to us and every decision is ours to make.  If we need help we can find it, and if we need support those around us may give it.  But ultimately, we must stand on our own and choose the next steps forward.  If we lean on someone for too long and let go of our ability to decide on our own, we will ultimately fail.  Nobody knows us better than we know ourselves.  Expecting anyone else to know what road we should travel isn’t workable.  Everyone’s experience is different and what seems right to one may be the wrong choice for someone else.  We can’t expect anyone to hold us up indefinitely.  We have all the power and intelligence we need to find our way ahead and we can step forward with confidence making the best choices possible.  Everything we desire is there for us.  We can achieve anything if we’re willing to do what is needed to accomplish it.  The possibilities are endless, and our power is limitless once we decide what we want.  Life is a great blessing.  Standing strong and trusting ourselves will help us move forward and find success.

Everyone has times when they feel uncertain.  We may be in a situation that is so daunting and confusing we wish we could hand it to someone else to manage.  While it’s always possible to push our responsibilities off onto others, if we do, we will never gain the lessons and experiences possible by taking care of them ourselves.  Everything we go through teaches us something of value to carry forward.  Our most difficult trials often bring us the greatest blessings.  We can manage anything that comes and are strong enough and wise enough to find any answers we need.  Every step forward takes us closer to our goals.

When we’re working on something difficult and complicated, if it’s taking longer than we thought it would we may begin to tire.  We can always step back and take a break.  We can move away for a time to refocus and review all the options before us.  Sometimes a short break will help us see something new that will open the way ahead.  There isn’t anything we can’t do and all the answers we need are there for us.  We can be confident in our ability to prevail and conquer any challenge we are facing.  We are strong and capable, and nothing is out of reach.

Today if you’re facing something difficult and feel overwhelmed and unsure, remember how strong and capable you are.  There is no problem you can’t solve.  Get the help you need and look at all the options available.  You will find the answers and succeed.  You are amazing and talented, and nothing is too difficult for you.  Look up and move forward.  Success is just ahead.
