 There is beauty in a glimpse of optimism.  We have to be intentional to shift our focus on the solutions.  Sometimes we may not even see the solution, BUT through life experience, we generally know what leads to our "success" or demise..  The fall can come from a million reasons.  Eliminate those as options.  If there is ONE single thing that can lead to a better result, FOCUS on that ONE thing alone.  Even if it means a better next 10 minutes, make the choice.  Only you can.  

In order to be better, you have to think better, DO better, and align with the grain that flows to growth.  Stop going against the grain.  Eliminate the rough cuts and splinters.  We can do this.  Its time to focus.  Look at these eyes......Put the blinders on and eliminate the periphiral.  One direction.  One step.  Take that step.

The Triumph of Faith
…2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope.…

Light of mine

 This little light of mine…I’m gonna let it shine. I sure hope everyone had a very joyous and en"lightening" Christmas.  This season brings a roler coaster of many things.... Bouncing around from house to house, a last minute trip to Wal-Mart, introspect, retrospect, a moment of silence to explore the true reason for the season, and the immense noise of the outside.  After all has settled, I hope that you can calm and find the light.  The song "Amazing Grace" has a whole new meaninng when you or a loved one has been in the dark, and now sees the light.  The New Year is upon us, but don't you ever dare think that it takes Jan. 1st to see the light in yourself or another.  That twinkle in someone else's eye can spark a beautiful thing just as the one in your own in ANY given day.  

I pray that ANY day may be the day that the switch is found in the dark and blackness is turned to light.  When Helen Kelller's caregiver began to try and explain who God was to a deaf and blind girl, Helen already knew.  There is a light in the dark without even having to know the name.  Today may be just the day to sing the song...." This little light of mine".........  Let it shine

Decisions

 Choose your path. If it has to go upstream like Salmon, so be it. It beats being a dead fish flowing toward the ocean to be eaten by seagulls. Fight

 The most inspiring stories I have witnessed are the broken that completely transform their lives into unbreakable warriors.  What is the secret?  Its simple.  They don't quit.  They pull out their gratitude list each morning.  They remind themselves of their worth and do the things that make themselves worthy of all they have deep inside.  With time and consistent action, it pours out of them.  Its as if a light follows them.  Thats how the Law of Attraction works.  Its inspiring and gives hope to transformation.  Its in there.  Do not give up before the miracle happens.  Plug along my friends. 

 What one thing are you going to do today to prove to yourself that you are a warrior?  You are worth the investment to be better than you were yesterday.  Embrace the journey.  Have faith with each forward step, and keep feeding the light that is soon to come bursting out of you with an intensity that rivals the sun, itself.

Sometimes

 This may not be the most popular post, but...................

Ive been a fan of David Goggins for more than a decade.  This dude simply reinvented himself.  He was not happy as a 350lb out of shape bug exterminator and became a Navy Seal, along with the title of Army Ranger, and more than a few other items in his "Cookie Jar".  "Cookie Jar"?  These are the things you can look back on and appreciate what YOU accomplished.  When life beats the crap out of you, look at the list of ridiculous things you accomplished.  You've pushed through and accomplished sooooooo many things.  Its who you are.  Do not allow others or society to tell you who you are.  You are a BEAST.  Resiliant, and will not give up.  At he end of the day, your reflection in the mirror is what you have.  

You are NOT what others say you are.  You are who God tells you that you are.  Do the work.  Nobody else is going to do it for you!  Add to the "Cookie Jar", and know who you are.  I'm proud of you.  Be proud of yourself.  Those that don't see or get it, may need a finger.  Walk away in confidence that you are on the path of a better YOU.  Their approval is not needed.  Yours is!  This is YOUR life.  What are you going to make it?  

We were born to be GREAT  See it.  Be it.  Do not accept less from yourself, .....and screw everybody else.

Your choice in action

 Intention is one thing.  Action is another.  We are what we do, what we eat, and who we choose to spend our time with.  We can create new habits, better choices, and surround ourselves with those that make us better.  The result of newly formed habits create a future that will not dissapoint.  Trust the process.  Its time to form new habits.  Out of an entire lifetime, you can afford the discipline for 21 days to dig deep and embrace new habits.  You are worth it.  Your future awaits.  What is the future that you would like to see?  Who and what do you aspire to be?  It begins TODAY.  Transform your thoughts, your words, and your actions.  The results and the fruit of the actions will come pouring through.  Its contagious.  You will soon be in a place to embrace the future that comes flowing to you.  It begins with a decision and consistent action.  We got this.  Its time to be extraordinary!

Be ready

 As impatient as most of us are, we have to trust the process and have faith we are exactly in the place we are supposed to be when we are there.  We simply have to embrace the process of the journey and do the best where we are.  Constantly evolving and progressing.  We may not see or feel it, but have confidence in the reality that all is working out for your good.  Plans to prosper you.  Do your best to be prepared to be in a place to walk through the doors that open for you.  Pray for the vision to be able to see the open door while amping yourself to sprint through and tackle the next adventure.  How exciting it is to know you are prepared.  You've done the work on YOU.  Be confident as you storm through and know the wait wasn't punishment..  It was preperation to be in a place to embrace all that was being prepared for you.

You simply cannot be in a place of going through the next door while sitting on the couch.  Get up.  Get out.  Train.  Grow.  Be comfortable with the uncomfortable.  That is where growth happens.  Be intentional.  We are capable of far more than we limit ourselves to be.  Toss out your own logic and allow the process to open doors that were meant to be opened for you, and you alone.

Its time
