Today's Accomplishment

 Today’s Accomplishment

Every day, when we awaken, we are faced with abundant opportunities. And what are we going to do with those opportunities?

Love this ponderable from poet Mary Oliver.

I wonder what it is

I will accomplish today?

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.

Ideal Circumstances

Ideal Circumstances

I am writing in a very cold, almost empty McDonalds today.  It’s not ideal.  The workers are chatting, laughing.  I hear a couple of other customers discussing the world.  It’s not ideal.

I prefer writing ocean-side, the waves crashing, blue water, as far as the eye can see ... nothing but water, water, water.

Rarely do I get that.

And we do life anyway.

If we wait for ideal situations, we would never act.  The stock market is down or up, the weather is hot or cold, the boss is in a good mood/bad mood, my wife is not happy or hasn’t had her coffee yet. 

You know the excuses we tell ourselves. 

And, when we get tired of waiting, we act.  Good for us.  At least we put one foot out there and it didn’t fall off.

Now, how do we make our own circumstances?

Maybe You Shouldn't Stop

Maybe You Shouldn’t Stop

  

This quote stops me in my tracks.  You too?

There are dreams and ambitions I still hold onto, dream about, and write about on occasion.  I think those qualify in light of the above quote.

And so, I keep striving.  I’ll share one.  I want to write the blog heard round the world.  It will be full of hope and encouragement and will lift the spirit of mankind and cause such a reaction that people can’t help but be moved, challenged and inspired.

I never get far from that one dream.

What is your hope?

Keep it alive, somehow, in some way.
