Books Should Bear a Label

Books Should Bear a Label

Books probably should be banned.  Maybe.  Perhaps.

At least label some of them.

And the label reads:

“This Could Change Your Life”

And so it is.

Has your life been changed by a book lately?

Aware of the Achievable

Aware of the Achievable

Are you aware of what you can achieve?  Then, perhaps, your journey is about to begin. 

I started writing poetry the day I convinced myself that I could possible write poetry.

I began my career as a musical director the day I overcame my shyness and let my musical side shine.  It was an October Sunday in my Dad’s small church in Tennessee and I was in the 11^th grade.

I hope you brush up against some possibilities for your own life.

When You Spill Your Coffee

When You Spilled Your Coffee

(We have a guest contributor today.  I’ve been following Danny McDonald on Facebook for a while now and he always write clever one-liners.  Today, he wrote a very pertinent piece and gave me permission to re-post it.  Enjoy!)

You're holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

News Flash: Whatever's inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever's inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So today I ask this simple question:. "What's in your cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility ... or ... anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Just a thought. You may resume your lives now.

That is all.
