AYD - July 6, 2012 - Priority

"Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."
- Eileen Caddy, Author

No long winded chat today.  Just simply, the weekend is upon us.  Clean up those loose ends at work, tidy up your work area, put things in place for a comfortable restart on Monday morning.

Now, put your priorities in order.
Time for a little You time.  With family, with a hobby, with a book or with a friend...whatever it may be.  But You must Buy In to the idea of investing in quality time.

Good Morning,

AYD - July 5, 2012 - Definitions

I would like to start something new here.
I would like to begin occasionally entertaining a word...and then defining it, for what meaning it brings to me at that time.
And then, to actually follow that feeling until I can better define it as well.
The idea being to introduce myself to something new, and challenge myself to something more.

Fearless.

Why not start with a heavy weight?

Is it a description of whom I wish to be?  A memory of whom I once was?
Is it a goal I have to become?
And how is it measured ?  As in, do I wish to be a daredevil and try any adreneline rush new trend... or does it refer to Life encounters, and I am fearless as to what may introduce itself to me today?

Or... just a little afterthought... maybe it can mean when it comes to my dreams, I am fearless about failure, for set backs make me stronger and help position the guide markers on my journey, and I fear nothing will get in my way for my intention is to succeed so I know I will just climb over obstacles anyway.

I like this word...Fearless... and I like how I can wear the idea of it like a coat, or paste it up in my physical environment like a wallpaper. 

I believe I will look a little deeper upon this word, and explore my past for moments that embraced it, and books that may show me how to introduce it to my days.

Definitions - yours to explore, and You to discover.

Good morning, now look deeper within.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind. "
- William James, 1842-1910


You can alter your whole life...or
the moment,
the day,
the task at hand,
the path to the goal,
your effort to your dreams,
your expression of feelings,
 
and the list goes on.
 
Pick one thing, or one thought you want to alter for forward growth or progress. 
Challenge yourself to make a choice, and then the alteration of your attitude.
 
Good morning - and may you create something that rewards you.
