Awaken Your Day - 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.

Good Morning, Greater Day. Greater You - here and now.

Awaken Your Father's Day - June 17, 2018

AYD - Happy Fathers Day to all the dads. New dads and old and repeat dad’s and step dads and foster and adopted and pet dads too. No matter if there is one or ten that call you Dad, enjoy your role today because there is not another role in this life you will have that is quite the same. This one is special.

Now I may just browse through some pics and remember all of our little man’s growth so that I can recall all of my own growth thanks to everything Jaxon has helped me become.

Have a fantastic and Awakened day.

Awaken Your Day - June 16, 2018 - This is Now, Because of Then

"Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them."
- Robert R. Updegraff

Just a little reminder. You are here and you are now. Your steps along the way to here are filled with memories, good and bad, as well as Lessons Learned, some hard and some enjoyable.

Life is more understood due to what we experience on our way to this moment. Life in front of us is full of potential because of where we stand mentally and emotionally right now looking forward.

On the big scale, life. On the more immediate ... the day.

Good morning, greater day. Greater you with every day.

Awaken Your Day – Throw me so that I may learn how to land.

There will be times in life that you will most certainly get tossed.
You may land soft, or hard. You may lose your bearings, and surely your breath.
You may lose energy, emotion, and drive. You may want to give up.
You will get tossed… by something or someone and often beyond your control.
And… you will grow tremendously, because Inspiration will find you everywhere, even when you are floating through the air when your feet are taken out from under you.
We can teach ourselves to learn from every toss.
We learn to identify the pain and all of its variations.
We learn to love and what it is to be loved.
We learn to be taught, and comradery.
We learn to stand back up.
We learn confidence, and understanding.
We learn how to avoid the take down, and what to do should we do go down.
We learn to roll, and break the fall.
We learn not to panic.
We learn to communicate, with ourselves and others.
We learn to give the way we wish to receive.
We learn how to feel, and how we influence feeling.
We learn to land, and we learn to breathe.
We learn to find the treasure in every toss.
There is treasure to be found in every toss that life will test you with.
Maybe we are unable to see it right away … I suggest it is more that we often are not aware to try.
One toss at a time … and we will take compounding treasure forward to challenge the next.

So, find a moment in your memory when you were tossed – where are you now? What treasure can you consider that you may have overlooked. Enjoy the day with your new found riches. See where you can invest it.

Good Morning, Greater Day. Greater You – learning to land strong and ready.
