Learn to Have Enough

This morning I listened to the Dalai Lama speak about inner peace. Inner peace would include knowing you have enough and not getting caught up with the desires and the wants of the world. Did you look in your fridge today? Was there enough to eat? Even if there wasn't, did you have money today to get a coffee and a bite to eat this morning? Did you shower and wake up in a warm bed and put clothes on? If you did these things, then you have what you need and have enough. Cultivating a peace to having what we want is not easy as we look around at what others may have going on in their lives, but did you ever consider, that maybe, they may have just as many problems if not more to having more of the desires instead of the inner peace of just being? Please consider today's inspiring quote to help inspire a change of heart today about what is truly important. That simply is YOU, your health and enjoying what you do have instead of what you do not. Too many people are caught in a web and sooner or later they will realize this and it might be too late because they missed a mark in their true happiness. Do not let this be you. Cultivate a grateful attitude towards your life and the relationship you have with others close to you and repeat after me, I have enough.  Now, relax!!!

Saying Nothing is Sometimes Saying Everything

Everybody has a Judas in their lives and sometimes several. Some are friends, but most are unfortunately in your own damn family. I can relate to Jesus. It's hurtful as shit. The reason this occurs is lack of real understanding and so many being so far in their own asses to ever even want to try to understand who you are and why you feel and think the way you do. It's fucked up, but that's what it is, but you know what you do have control over, how you respond or don't respond to the bullshit. You don't have to answer to things especially if they are coming at you as an attack because that's all you will get at the end of the day, your  feeling like you were nailed at the cross. So, don't say shit!!! Keep it moving. Sometimes saying nothing is everything.

Counting Friendship Blessings

I have had more than my fair share of ups and downs in the last year and I am sure there will be a few hiccups to overcome this year, but having the support and love from my kids and friends has been the most wonderful testimony because the ones that are currently by my side even in my darkest days, have shown me they were my true supporters.  We need to go through those downs at times to see that  and you better know I asked the Universe to reveal them and I was pleasantly surprised by it's answer. There were folks that came out the woodworks and have literally told me that I had inspired and gave them the determination to go after their life goals and dreams and that I was their strength when they were down. My jaw dropped to the ground and my eyes have been full of tears because although there has been a battle within my own self, God wanted me to know because of what I did for others, that those same ones would be there to be my strength and guide as well. I am beyond humb

Passion vs. Effort

Image
I hear it all the time from people on what you need to succeed.   “Follow your passion”. Here is is why I have an issue with this advice.   Everyone is passionate about something and usually more than one thing.  We are born with it. There are always going to be things we love to do like music, art, knitting, cooking etc..  The list can go on. Those passions more than likely for most are not worth a nickel. Here's why?  Think about all the things you have been passionate about in your life. Think about all those passions that you considered making a career out of or wanted to build a company around.  How many were there? Why did you bounce from one to another? Why were you not able to make a career or business out of any of those passions ?  Or, if you have been able to have some success, what was the key to the success?  Was it the passion or the effort you put in to your job or company?  If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.
