Awaken Your Day - Dec 22 - Your Day, Your Decision?

"Be your own best advocate. You have the talent, energy and truck-loads of charm necessary for success. Now, add to that a little more faith in your efforts and watch things happen."
- Horoscope calendar for today.

Do you ever read your horoscope?
Are you one of those people that as soon as you read it, whatever those words said, you felt it?

Did you believe it?

If it was good...did you grab it and run thru your day using it like a lottery ticket ?

If it was bad, did you give up on the day and drag it with you like a heavy weight draining your energy?

My point? Did you let something someone else wrote - someone who does not know you, has never met you, has no knowledge about your ambition, your dreams, or your passions... someone who just grouped you in with millions of other people who share your birth "sign"... did you let that person tell you about your "daily destiny" and how it is going to be the same as those millions of other people... and from their words you are being told if you will find success, discouragment or a blah blah blah kind of day??

Well...if you are that person who gives all your power of decision to some words in a newspaper ...then try this. Read all the horoscopes...and pick the best one to be yours.

Seriously. If you are going to give up your power that easily - you should at least pick a prediction that best suits your results. And if you don't like that...send me $15.95 and I will surely tell you how to live your day.

Make sense? Let someone, or something lay out your blueprint, and you could very well be choosing the end before you start.

Maybe it is not the horoscope...so you think you are safe.

Well, what about these wonderful destiny controllers?

Coffee?
Cigarette?
Traffic?
Newspaper headlines?
Stock Quotes?
Alarm clock?
Lottery numbers?

Your crutch, you decide.
What fine line do you base your "daily destiny" on?

I invite you to take my horoscope from today, and treat it like a philosophy challenge.
It is not a "good day / bad day" prediction. It is an idea on how to take back control...

Opportunity greets you every morning at the very first fork in the road.
Your day. Your Decision on what path it will follow.

Awaken Your Day - Dec 19 - Simple Things

"Anything simple always interests me."
- David Hockney

Socks.

Okay...Christmas, and socks.

Got a mental picture now, don't you?

Funny how things take on a whole different set of values, as our growth ( phyiscal, mental and emotional) progresses.

Christmas morning, all excited for presents and opening stuff and wondering what you got and Oh Ya one of those! and AWESOME ! you got that ...and .... and .... What's this? A package of socks? Who gives a package of socks? Really??

This morning I was getting ready and much to my disappointment I realized I did not have any clean work socks. More, I did not have any clean pairs of those ones I like, those cushiony ones that make my feet not hurt.

Those cushiony ones that make my feet feel good.

Those...grey socks, with the little emblem on top that should sit right over my middle toe cause then the seam is in the right place and oh you remember when we found those and how soft they were on my feet and how good that made my whole body feel because we know what happens when my feet get sore they just ache and I feel it all up my back and I can feel the agrivation coming on and I get grouchy when my feet hurt and why can't every pair of socks feel like that much cushion and I sure wish I had just one more pair hidden here in the drawer if I could just find one more pair hidden here somewhere it would be just like, I don't know like a gift or something boy would it be a nice surprise to find just one more of those pairs ya that would make my day be just like a ... Christmas morning, when I was a kid.

Socks. Then, and now.

What else in your day may fall under the same banner, or evolved story of meaning...as socks?

I challenge you to find the value in all the simple things in your day that we often overlook...until it is not there.

Objects, people and abilities to do things.
Count your "socks" - count your blessings.

Good morning, good counting - and I urge you to comment here on the things you get reaquanted with.

Awaken Your Day - Dec 18 - Who might you be?

"Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all."
- Sam Ewing

As soon as you mention "hard work" most people picture immediately some form of manual exersion. Hard work... is all around us.

Relationships are work.
Your job is work.
Raising a child, keeping a home, maintaining family values, making new friends, keeping old friends, becoming all you can be with your own personal development ...

All are work.

All can be listed under, "Hard Work".

And so I ask you - Who might you be in each of the catagories we mentioned?

Do you roll up your sleeves and do what must be done, for you are the better for it?
Do you turn up your nose, and turn your back for whatever reason?
Do you put any thought into it at all?

And, are you better off in your definition.
I know in some, I have had to change my response and my action.

Good morning.

Pierre

Awaken Your Day - Dec 17 - Difficult Times

These are difficult times for all of us.

Sorry, did not mean to begin on a down note, but part of succeeding at a time like this is facing things head on and not sugar coating the truth.

What is happening in our world around us affects us all in some ways. Some of us directly and in our face. Others, thru someone they know experiencing some harsh times.

Today, you play a role. Aside from all of our discussions about Victim or Victor - and keep that in mind, the choice is always yours - you play a role of demostration and support.

If you are suffering hardship at this time, you need to demostrate calm for you and your family and do all you can to focus, so you can utilize every ounce of your experience and talents to see thru the clouds that darken our sunshine and find a solution. You are not alone. It may seem very difficult but you must try.

If someone you know is experiencing the difficulty, your role is support. What can we do to help? It does not need to be money. We just need to examine the situation and see where we can make things smoother while this person we care about struggles to find that way thru the cloud. Care.

We are all affected somehow, someway by all that is happening around us.
If we all can agree to not give in and become overwhelmed by it, we can change the tide.
Alone we feel defeated far too easily.

One act of random kindness.
Choosing to be a Victor and not a Victim.
Think about what you have to give - even if just a moment of listening.
Keep our eyes up, and looking at where we are going, and not down in despair.
Ask, "How are you doing?" , and then Listen to the answer.

Refuse to accept hard times as the way it must be.
Opportunity is lingering, although sometimes in disguise.

Good morning - and may we play our role very well.

Pierre
