Awaken Your Day - Jan 12, 2017 - I spy with my little eye something that is ...

"Your self image, the way you see yourself on the inside, largely determines your performance on the outside. All improvements in your outer life begin with improvements on the inside, in your mental pictures." - Brian Tracy

So ... can you handle some truth?
Good.
Have a conversation with you ... about your strengths. Some of you more often default to the easier conversation, the negatives - or what is lacking. It is easier to see those because they introduce themselves so well - for anyone. But ... our strengths are often those strong silent friends ... they get us through things but do not always stand up looking for applause.

Applaud. Let those things be part of a visual character sketch within your inner sight. Let you see you standing tall and identify all the good reasons you are entitled to do so. Don't be shy or modest or bashful... this conversation, or self resume submission, is yours. Noone to dispute you.... no one to debate with.

Applaud. Self standing ovation time. And ride that into your day.

"All improvements in your outer life begin with improvements on the inside, in your mental pictures."

Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You - allowing you to be so.

Awaken Your Day - Jan 9, 2017 - Blind Investment

"I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."
- Mark Twain

How many of us invest a lot of quality emotion and time to what "might" happen? Not to things that did...but those worrys and stresses on what "might" .... that anticipation anxiety.
 
Just like it is so often inspirationally said "if you think it, and believe it, it can be" - so true is it toward the negative and the stress and the What If's in life. More so. Damaging so. Kick you in the ambition so.
I think I Can't I think I Can't...so...


( Side note... why is that not the true dreaded C word ... Can't ...the one everyone thinks is so harsh...why do we not cringe more at "Can't" than that other one ... Can't is a whole lot more damaging)


So... regarding the past troubles... they happened. You are here now. You made it. They cannot get any bigger. Stop the fish tale.

 Regarding what is yet to be... are you selling yourself short on Stressful events not yet happened... is that your chosen market forecast? Shame on you. Shame on me too...I've done it.
Monday morning... Invest your time wisely. Especially that part that has not happened yet.
 
Good morning, Greater Day. Greater you - knowing you can.

Awaken Your Day - Jan 6, 2017 - Your Path, You Lead

"Not everyone will understand your desire to transform. That's ok. It isn't their journey to understand."
- Internet quote

It is your path and you will lead the story how you see fit.

Be careful of two things. You should not alter your path just becuase some of those around you don't agree - however, for those that care about you and may worry due to not understanding, it does not hurt you to share with them some of what is going on inside you - so that they worry less, and may suitably support you more.


There is a whole lot of inspiration out there that says Blaze away and forget those that don't get on board... but it does not need to be the Lone Wolf mentality. I am a collaborator... so I attempt to look at it a little different. Often - it is a simple communication that realigns all things good.


Focus on the word "Transform" versus Change. Focus on "Lead" versus Abandon. Those that care, you can Lead them through your belief and desire about your transformation and you will allow them understanding without alot of effort. Those that question before they listen ... well, all you can do is let them sit back with their portion of the story - the worry or speculation - while you Focus on the path before you - and eventually, those paths should cross again.
Just a random thought on a Friday.

 Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You... Leading where you can.

Awaken Your Day - Jan 4, 2017 - Simplicity has ripple benefits.

 "Organize your sock drawer."
- Pierre Couturier

Sometimes when you need inspiration the most - it is sitting in front of you in a simple Ha ha moment, or a simple task. What you may need is a quick victory. A little fist pump-clear a thought- seemingly meaningless - achievement. But do not under estimate the value in those little achievements.

There is a great connect-the-dots feeling to be had by organizing little corners of your day.
Organize your sock drawer -(define as you wish).
Clean out the fridge.
Check the fluids in the cars.
Clean a shelf in the closet.
What the hell is in this junk drawer and why do we still have it?
Puff up the cushions on the couch.

And for sanity sake - put some music on while you do any of it.
Awaken something in your day - in a simple way.

Good morning...Greater Day. Greater You - in quick little ways.
