Today’s Poem ~ Be the Best of Whatever You Are

by

Be the Best of Whatever You Are

Douglas Malloch

 If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill
    Be a scrub in the valley—but be
  The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
    Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.

  If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass,
    And some highway some happier make;
  If you can’t be a muskie then just be a bass—
    But the liveliest bass in the lake!

  We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew,
    There’s something for all of us here.
  There’s big work to do and there’s lesser to do,
    And the task we must do is the near.

  If you can’t be a highway then just be a trail,
    If you can’t be the sun be a star;
  It isn’t by size that you win or you fail—
    Be the best of whatever you are!

Today’s Good Word ~ Anticipate

by

When we anticipate we think of the future. We use our imagination to create a mental image of what our future looks like. What if we began anticipating a future where we worked together, shared resources, and inspired each other to do great things? 

A Better Life ~ Where are You Heading?

by

Life is now and in front of us. It is not behind us. It’s impossible to go back, the only direction is forward. When we focus on going forward we can co-create the future we want with those traveling with us. Not like we used to be. But, how will we be what we want to be?

Something to Think About

by

There’s a wonderful poem entitled Breathing Underwater. When we’re going through tough times that seemingly will never end, we discover that we have to learn to breathe underwater if we are to survive. Once we learn to breathe underwater we discover the tough times run out of energy and we can begin to live once again. 

Today’s Power Thought ~ Unlock All Possibilities

by

An open mind unlocks all possibilities. It frees one for unlimited potential. Whereas a closed mind runs on a single track with only a single destination.

Give yourself permission to not follow the crowd. Give yourself permission to believe the majority might be wrong and you’re on the right course. Give yourself permission to listen to the inner urgings of your heart and to ignore the clamoring and noise of the crowd.
