Monday Musings & Inspiration: The Choice Is Yours!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

This week's mastermind was focused on the power of choice.  The more you choose what makes your heart sing, the more power you have to be you. You are always aided by the simple fact that it is always now, regardless of where you are.  

As I write this post in my evening now, somewhere in the world people are already awake in what would be my tomorrow, some are presently sleeping, and some are still awake nearing midnight in my today.

 

"Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life."

~ Mark Twain

 

We had a great conversation on Saturday, with our friend Amy.  She wondered when in our lifetime did all this negativity that we see day in and day out began.  We came to the conclusion that the best thing we can do is take the opportunity to be kind whenever possible.

 

"A little more kindness, A little less speed, A little more giving, A little less greed, A little more smile, A little less frown, A little less kicking, A man while he's down,

A little more "We", A little less "I", A little more laugh, A little less cry, A little more flowers, On the pathway of life, And fewer on graves, At the end of the strife."

~ Mark Twain

 

"True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future."

~Seneca

 

"Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it."

~Kevyn Aucoin

 

And remember, it does not matter if you slip up and have a negative moment, you can begin again, and again, because it is always now...

Wishing Every One A Great Week!

To quote Mark Twain once again, 'Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.'

I like that Ron and Alexandra Seigel and Mark Twain is one of my favorites, even though I am not much of a reader.

Good morning Alexandra. Everyday is destined to be the most beautiful day to paraphrase Mark Twain. Enjoy your day.

This constant negativity is hard on adults but VERY hard on kids.

When I found out my 2 great nieces were told a half hour before they were to catch the bus for their Christmas party day at school, they were NOT to go to school, makes me furious. Someone of someone who rode the bus, might have omicron so no one on the bus could go to school.

This has gone too far and the affect on kids is really heartbreaking.

Love this post!  I couldn't agree more.  Rather than focus on the negativity, but the positive force around your town/city/neighborhood.  Cheers!
