Feel Good Tip ~ The Storm Will Lose Their Power
Finding Inner Peace
Can you find inner peace no matter how a situation turns out? Not everyone can. The moment’s turmoil seems to capture us and when it does we find ourselves on traveling rapidly in the wrong direction. I’m speaking of a time when everything is going right and boom, an event interrupts the nice flow we were experiencing. Can we ride the unwelcome event without losing our sense of balance until the unwelcome event runs out of power? Metaphorically, the storm that interrupted us will lose its power and disappear. I think a sense of inner peace comes from knowing that we’ve experienced similar storms and made it through. There’s no reason we won’t make it through again. A good maxim might be, “I did this and I can do it again.”

Feel Good Tip ~ We Are Awesome Miracles
Consider the Wonders of You
Saint Augustine said, “Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.” Is it time to stop and reflect on the miracle of who you are? Think of how your eyes feed information to your brain and in an instant your brain sends messages to the corresponding parts of your body. Think of moments when you were deeply in love and desired the moment to last forever. We are awesome miracles. Take nothing for granted. Be grateful for the who you are.
Daily Inspirational Quotes ~ Suck it Up and Do It!
”The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack of will.”

Poem for Today ~ Four Walls
Four Walls
Blanche Taylor Dickinson
Four great walls have hemmed me in.
Four strong, high walls:
Right and wrong,
Shall and shan’t.
The mighty pillars tremble when
My conscience palls
And sings its song—
I can, I can’t.
If for a moment Samson’s strength
Were given me I’d shove
Them away from where I stand;
Free, I know I’d love
To ramble soul and all,
And never dread to strike a wall.
Again, I wonder would that be
Such a happy state for me . . .
The going, being, doing, sham—
And never knowing where I am.
I might not love freedom at all;
My tired wings might crave a wall—
Four walls to rise and pen me in
This conscious world with guarded men.
