Stay Focused.....Maintain a positive outlook

 

Don't get side-tracked or shifted from the main course of action.  The first month of the new year ends this week and you should start monitoring your progress, to ensure that you're fueled and you have your plan of action mapped out.  Maintain a positive attitude and meditate on what you wish to see manifested.  Don't focus on the issues that get you bogged down and add absolutely no value to your mission.

Stay focused and keep a renewed mind and fresh ideas, along with an environment which inspires you to greater heights.  Keep putting fresh logs on the fire of enthusiasm, so the flame doesn't burn out.  Keep pushing....keep pressing.....Stay Focused....Maintain a positive outlook....Meditate on ALL things Great!

It's about the simple things.....learn to enjoy them

Take pleasure in the gift of 'The Simple Things' - those moments that will one day be cherished memories, those opportunities that present themselves and become unforgettable treasures......blue skies, green grass, clean air, a child's laughter, wisdom from the elderly.........Quiet, peaceful, relaxing afternoons......Gather memories of precious moments that will one day be reflected upon as magic and undisputed beauty....'The Simple Things'.....Never to be taken for granted....never to be rushed....Hold those times/things near and dear.

Start and Stay in Motion

So...we're a few days into the New Year and hopefully everyone has made the needed adjustments to the goals that you've set to achieve.  The secret to your success will be to first and foremost "Trust Yourself" or those goals will quickly lose fuel and you'll lose motivation and still be at square one months down the road. Surround yourself with accountable partners who will help keep fuel in your tank and cheer you on...those who believe in you and want to see you succeed.  Even the 'haters' can add fuel for your motivation, if you know how to properly respond to that group of naysayers.

The second thing to do is to make the decision to actually Start!  Newton's first law of motion: A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.  Do not allow anyone or anything (outside forces) to deter you on the road to your success this year.  There will be obstacles and challenges that you can push through.....so know this from the beginning and make the adjustments along the way.  Stay the course, don't take a shortcut/detour, if you're sure you're on your destined path to success.  Some people will be continually challenged, because they simply might 'not' be on the destined course to begin with, so do the soul-searching early and know for sure that your soul is calling you to the path you're travelling on.

Get Ready and stay ready...Set....Trust Yourself.....START!  The part that most people miss is actually Starting.......the ideas on the paper create absolutely nothing, so...Stay in motion....stay motivated....keep fresh logs of motivation on the fire, so it continues to burn deep inside and Just Do it this time......Get Started and Keep it Moving! Much love and peace as you journey to your destination of success!

Baby, It's Cold Outside...

In many parts of the country, temperatures are at dangerously cold levels and not everyone has a warm place to lay their heads, nor the proper attire when they're out in this frigid weather.  Now is the perfect time to donate those extra coats, scarves, sweaters, blankets, socks, boots, gloves and anything else that will protect the body from the cold elements to those who are less fortunate. Think for a moment...there's something listed here that you didn't even remember you had this time last year because you haven't worn it in years, and it's still hanging in your closet or tucked in a drawer...so don't bypass someone on the street who might be shivering in this cold weather....you can't possibly witness that and not feel compassion. Help someone stay warm, especially those who are living on the streets; offer them a ride to a shelter.  Do what you can...while you can.... Donate .... you're not losing anything when you Give....you're Gaining! (contact a local shelter/mission and donate or give directly to the recipient)
