OXYGEN

 Oxygen

Let’s think about oxygen. We all need it. Deprive yourself of it for a few minutes and you’ll be desperate for it.

From another point of view, consider this ...
What gives you oxygen? In other words, what inspires you?

Popular motivational books tell us this is our ONE dominate passion. Some call it “our driving force in life.”

I’ve identified my oxygen. It is writing and podcasting. When I first started writing I feared that I would someday run out of ideas and then what?

That has not been the case. It seems one idea leads me to the next, and the next, and ten more after that.

My long-time college friend Harold once told me to slow down in working on my book ideas. He felt I had too many going at once.

This I know ... You will lead a really fulfilling life once you find out what and where your oxygen comes from. And when you do, it just might drive you to places you never dreamed of going.

See Something - Say Something

 See Something – Say Something 

I’m a big believer in this concept.

If you see something 

beautiful in someone, 

speak it.   ~Ruthie Lindsey

It’s a reminder for all of us to give roses to people while they live, not after they are gone.

In a put-down world such as we live in, most people live put-down lives. I say 

“Build each other up.

Pay the compliment now.

Give kudos in the moment.”

You Are Born to Become

You Are Born to Become

Slightly fewer than 4 million babies are born each year.  Who knows what all those babies will become.  This I do know, whatever each of those 4 million small lives becomes is because they and someone else in their lives made a decision to do something with the time given on this earth. 

They choose to MAKE something of their lives.

They don’t sit around and hope, long, cry over their plight.  They get out and do -- they DO the important steps to propel their lives in a certain direction.

Now, that is about as simple as it gets for having a life’s plan.

Spectator to Your Own Thoughts

Spectator to Your Own Thoughts

Thoughts are things.  They can have a life of their own.  And if left unattended, thoughts can grow like wild seeds.  And that is not all good.  I’m reminded of James Allen’s classic book – As a Man Thinketh. 

I’m trying to learn to watch my thoughts a bit more closely in these days. 

I learned a Bible verse as a small child that applies to this thought as well.

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?
