Life-3

Whose side are you on? That question is enough to make you lose your happiness and peace.

So many are clamoring for you to pick a side, to join in with them, to get on a (their) bandwagon. I have not been called to solve the worlds problems. There are tooooo many. That’s why we have a God and that’s why he says bring all your problems, concerns and worries to him.

To live, to really live, I have to fill my mind with good and beautiful and helpful thoughts. After I get me in line, then I can share the good and beautiful and be helpful to others.

Remember, we magnify what we think about, we magnify what we talk about. We have a wonderful country, wonderful minds, strong bodies…let’s see what we can do to increase these qualities.

If I devote my time, mind and eyes to be on the lookout for doing good, improving myself, taking good care of me…then I will see opportunities (there will be plenty) to help improve others lives so they can live better too.

I am all for solving problems, but some (most) problems are not mine to solve and that is when we get frustrated…trying to solve what is not in our power to work out.

Say what you will, but today, I’m choosing to live my life well. I will look for and advance goodness and beauty, I will keep myself at peace and not allow the clamor of others to get me off path. Then I know I will bring my best self to be an example and help others find peace in their world.

Let’s advance towards better living together today!

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?
