Risk

And then the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin

Afraid to be who you want to be.  Afraid to risk defeat again.  Afraid to put yourself out there for all the world to see.  This is not living.

We fail when we find comfort in where we are, and not where we want to be. Life is meant to be always evolving.  Keeping with us –  what works, letting go of what doesn’t, and opening ourselves up to what can be. It takes risk, and faith, and courage to be the best that you can be.

You have made your New Year Resolutions – The “risk” is yours.  Stay where you are right now, and make changes when life forces you; or decide to move towards the life you want.

Thoughts of Love, Peace, and Being Unique

When we are born, we are not given choices of traits.  There is no one asking us what specific Nationality, Race, or Religion that we would like to be.  No choices of being tall, short, or of having a rich family. No choices of whether we want to be artistic, athletic, intuitive, analytical or any number of other characteristics. Yet we treat ourselves and each other as if we did.  We are all unique and we should love ourselves and each other for that reason alone.  There are many things the world would not have if everyone was like me,… which is a relief, that in our differences, we don’t have to be everything.

Sometimes people treat others as if they had a choice. Sometimes we dwell on why our life is harder, because of the choices we didn’t have. And, sometimes we forget that we have choices now. We can choose love,   peace, compassion, and understanding.  We can’t change whether we are tall or short, as well as many other traits that we are born with,  but we can choose to use the traits that we have, and make the best of it.   Choose to use your unique gifts and create your perfect life.

Life – “Just Right”

With Thanksgiving behind us and New Years Resolutions around the corner, I know some of you are already thinking about weight loss, and a healthier lifestyle.  It then, can become a little overwhelming when you start thinking about staying on track, and living your whole life – “Just Right”.  Its time to ask ourselves… Am I headed in the right direction? Am I doing everything that I can do, that will bring me to where I want to go?  Can I do better?  Am I looking at the greater good – the action that will ultimately lead me to my ultimate result? Am I talking less and doing more? Am I living the life I want to now?  What do I need to do today, tomorrow, and the day after? What are the goals for this week, next week, next month, and the year?

Set yourself some goals. Then do what you can today. Enjoy with love and gratitude for the opportunity to live. Stand tall with honor. Try always to be better, and continue to direct the course of your life.
