Greetings folks,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
We all have so many reasons to live from gratitude and forgiveness . . . This is the smoothest path to "making a difference in the world." Tis the season to be grateful for all of the people who have been in our lives - our WHOLE lives. Each and every person we have encountered as we've travelled along has crossed our path for a reason - Each one has helped us grow - Some have stretched and challenged us more than others. I am grateful for ALL.
As you give thanks, don't forget to thank YOURSELF, for YOU are the person responsible for making the decisions that have created your very essence and present circumstances. At the same time, this might also be a good time to challenge yourself. Your buck stops with YOU! TAKE CHARGE! TAKE ACTION!
Live/Love life with reckless abandon and know that you are making positive impact simply by being YOU. Do NOT accept mediocrity from yourself or others around you . . . You don't have time for that. Complacency and "comfort" lead to doldrums. Living life to its fullest is rarely a smooth and orderly thing. The greatest accomplishments emerge from sheer cacophony.
We are ALL winners in this game of life, and there is opportunity knocking on every door we encounter. All we've got to do is "STEP UP!"
WHEW!
Seems I spun off on a tangent . . .
What I meant to say in this post is that I invite you to travel with me down a path of personal discovery. If you're interested in doing this, there is no sign-up sheet nor is there any organized accountability program, It's up to you to plug in and take action. I have just completed reading "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews and am now going to "do the homework" Andy assigned . . . Beginning today, I will begin with the First Decision and will "sit with" this Decision for the prescribed 21 days . . . I will affirm this decision each morning and each evening . . . I will then move to the Second Decision for 21 days . . . and so on and so on . . .
I made this exercise "idiot proof" for myself - Simply schedule a "ding" on my calendar every 21 days :-)
I Wrote more about this adventure HERE If you haven't read the book, I put enough in the post at that link to get you rolling until you can get the book.
I'm not sure I'll get another post in before Thanksgiving. We're traveling to be with friends in Cincinnati for the next few days. I wish you the BEST,
b
