Awaken Your Day - Jan 19 - Adapt and Conquer

"Even with the best of maps and instruments, we can never fully chart our journeys."
- Gail Pool

You could do everything right.
You could do everything by the book.
You read instructions.
You take the training.
You do the same job, the same tasks, day in and day out, over and over and over again.

Does that mean you will never encounter surprises? Gliches? Some unforseen obstacle that prevents perfect flow?

No.

One angle on our quote today is to be prepared to adapt to change. Not everything can be fully planned sure, but also not everything can go according to plan either.

If you can learn the art of adapting to circumstance, and then flowing with what ever happens but still keeping your eye on the goal at hand, you will still find success. We must learn that an obstacle is not a reason to quit. It is however an opportunity to learn.

Not just learning to accept the things we cannot change etc etc... no, I mean learning how to adapt to variables beyond our control but still maintain forward movement. Adapt to those variables and not lose our way. And adapt to the variables and not lose control of our emotions.

You can be prepared.
You can have a plan.
You can have the desire.
and...
You can have outside influence that interupts all of those.
Now, you find your awareness...and you carry on.

Monday, and it's reputation, bring a great time to practice our skills...and learning how to move forward no matter what.

Good Morning

Awaken Your Day - Jan 16 - Time Well Wasted

"Regret for wasted time is more wasted time."
- Mason Cooley

Maybe you did not get something done.
Maybe you did not get something started.
Worry about it now, and you put off the action yet again, for a decision you cannot go back and change.
You are aware of what you would have liked to do or should have done.
Maybe the time was not totally wasted. You may not have worked on a particular task, but something else may have benefited.

Guage why you feel it was wasted, and proceed with resolving that feeling with appropriate action.

While some will add more wasted time worrying about past wasted time and adding to the Total Regret ratio, you will have taken the lead on yours and broken away from the pack.

Good morning,
There is a weekend upon you.
May I suggest you pencil in some automatic wasted time for pure release of stress.
There can be a right time, for doing nothing.

Awaken Your Day - Jan 14 - Eyes Up for Success

"When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."
- Alexander Graham Bell

Just quick this morning, for it is mid week and I know we are all looking at the opportunities to come in the next few days.

Times are more of a struggle right now, for many of us, or for someone we know. Everything that is going on affects us somehow. So we must try a little harder, to keep believing that there is opportunity in every situation. Hard times, or harder times ... we can take something of value from it, and knowing that, we must put our awareness to the front of thoughts, so that while it may be a struggle to go face first into the storm - we must if we want to see where the path ahead finds the sunshine.

Good morning.

Awaken Your Day - Jan 12 - Opportunity

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
- J.K. Rowling

Opportunity Monday says that there is a whole lot of life you can give each moment you are in right now, instead of wishing for a weekend.

If all you do is "survive" until the weekend you will find there is never enuf time to live life to the fullest when you get there. But if you fill each day between now and then with more effort to live more fully constantly - the weekend will be that much more free and full when you reach it.

Have the Best Monday you can remember.
