Thoughts

Could my thoughts help your thoughts?

Could what I think about be translated into something beneficial to you?

That’s all an idea is. It is a thought. It grows a tiny bit, and an idea begins to emerge. Then more thoughts come and are added to the original thought. Sometimes others will add their thoughts to your thoughts and make a powerful idea!

Observe your thoughts. Develop the good ones. See where these thoughts might take you.

Don’t be afraid to think differently. How many great inventions came because someone thought differently? The sewing machine, the horseless carriage, the telephone, electricity, the light bulb, batteries, bridges…computers, YouTube, Instagram, Venmo, PayPal…   These are things we use every day! (They’re almost a requirement for living in most of the world and we are thankful for them).

Where might your next thought lead you…Where might it lead someone else?

Share your good thoughts!

Don’t Fit In

Stand in your own outfit!

How many times have we tried to fit in to a pair of pants we really wanted to wear? They looked great on the mannequin….!?! Why don’t they look good on me?

We each have our own shape – physically, mentally, emotionally. Our likes, dislikes, talents are just a tad different from our friend’s. That’s why what they have/do doesn’t fit/look good on us.

I have to figure out what looks/works best on me! The right color, style, jewelry, shoes, bed, chair, books I read, job I accept…on and on. Stuff has to be adjusted to conform to me, not me conform to it!

You were crafted to be you, they were crafted to be them. We are on an individual basis….no production line here! This is a one of a kind artist’s studio piece being unveiled – you and I!!!

We need to be our own piece and bring our fullness to the forefront and really work to develop us.

‘It’s too hard 😦 It’s easier just to be like somebody else.’ That’s no fun though, the reward is in the labor, the satisfaction of a job well done!

What one area in your life can you work on to become a better representation of you?

You look more beautiful wearing you!

Focused Inward? Focus Outward!

Oh, man! I don’t know what to write about! If I say this –that person may not like it, if I say that –somebody else won’t like it. Probably no one will like/need/want what I have to say. So I guess I’ll just stay safe and say nothing 😦

All wrapped up in my self-made cocoon, not developing, not coming out, refusing to become/share what I have to contribute.

It’s dark inside this cocoon, nobody to talk to, too quiet, and I feel cramped. Can’t get around, can’t do anything except lay-low and wait….wait for what!?! How long is this going to last? How long do I have to be in here?

Hold on!….. I have a key to get out! That is the key!! Looking outward!!!

There’s a whole bunch of people outside…wanting to see what I’m doing. They want to see what I’m about. Perhaps I can help them…wait! they’re helping pull me out. I can see the sunshine, it feels good on my wings, and I am gaining strength….let’s see, that person over there has a need…I think perhaps….Hey! those guys need help and I know what to do there too! I can’t help everybody, but I’m already pretty busy helping somebody!

That key sure worked great!!!

Now when I get stuck inside…I’m gonna look outside. There is a world of people needing what I have to give.

Throw off the wraps!

There’s work to do!

Will you join me?
