The Mind.

The Mind! Your mind, my mind the mind of mankind.

God gave us a good mind and the ability to think.

Noise, commotion and other voices shout in the breeze, hoping to land in your mind to make you think their way.

Don’t be tricked! Your mind is yours. Use it well to benefit you, yours and those around—to do and be your best!

This world, your community, your family needs all your best thoughts. We don’t have time to get side-tracked by things that will drag us down, rob our time or prevent us from becoming the better person.

Be like Santa Claus and make a list, check it twice whether those thoughts are of naught or nice.

It will be a present you give to yourself.

Make it a good gift!

Delete, Repeat

Delete what’s not working for you.

Today I wore a shirt that doesn’t look good on me–truthfully I don’t like it, and when I bought it I knew the color didn’t do anything for me, but it was on sale…and I have since paid over and above for it. Twice I have started to give it away, but pulled it back– since it was ‘good’ and I got a bargain.

But I don’t feel my best, most comfortable, confident self when I wear it.

It’s going in the Goodwill bag tonight, I told myself! (along with a few other things in the closet—bought under the same guise!)

Why do I do this to myself? When am I going to learn???

Delete, repeat.

There are some things in our lives, physical, mental, or emotional that are a hindrance to being our best selves. Either they sap our energy, rob our confidence and courage, or just plain waste our space and time!

Enough is enough!!!

It begins today…going through my ‘stuff’ little by little deleting and repeating, until it feels right hanging on to what I have.

Do you need to delete something from your life too?

The Imprint

Every human being is born with an imprint on them. We could liken it to a permanent tattoo from God.

It marks us…as important, needed, wanted, valuable, vital, individual, and truly unique.

That’s nonsense! I don’t feel any of those things, I know I’m nothing special…just a ordinary human being.

*Ordinary = no special or distinctive features, uninteresting, commonplace.

*Unique = being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. particularly remarkable, special or unusual

Everybody likes their pet. They’re lots of dogs, cats, horses, even cows, but each one, although they may appear similar, is instantly recognizable by the owner.

Their special features …hair, build, eyes, strength, color, disposition distinguish them from the others.

That’s us! Each is imprinted with a special look, talent, skill set, personality, nationality, likes/dislikes to function perfectly where we are placed in the world to advance it and make things better…because we are there!

Can you believe that? You are where you are …with God’s name-tag on you, signifying He crafted you! and will stand behind you! to help you do what you really want to do!

After all, God puts those dreams, desires and wishes inside us to strengthen, grow, and improve this earth, to live a better life each day.

Begin to look for the imprint placed on your life and move forward in it.

God, Himself, will help you.
