Today’s tools await us to apply them to a new creation. There are people we’ll meet. There are people we live with. There are things we’re planning to do. There are unexpected events. There’s the weather. There’s our work. These are the tools we can use to create a spectacular day. What is the focus of our day. Is it confined to ourselves? Or, do we dare broaden our vision to include other people? We have in front of us an opportunity to make today something special for those we encounter as well as ourselves. What are you waiting for? Time’s a wasting.

Today’s Thought: What Is Your Story?
“Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.” ~ Robert McKee
We learn the power of stories in infancy. Stories can transport us to different places, centuries, or affect our relationships. When I play around with writing fiction, I start with a couple of characters and allow them to create the story. The characters carry me along with their adventure. I’ll get lost in the writing and lose track of time. It’s a fun thing to let fictitious characters create your story. It’s a tragedy when we let others create our life’s story. We have a right to create our own story. Our personal story is ours to write. Don’t forfeit that right to another. Whatever your story take ownership. Write a great story.

Today’s Power Thought ~ It Just May Be Possible
We exercise to stay strong. We eat well to stay healthy. Is it time to exercise your imagination? Our imagination allows us to see things which we may not have thought possible. If, however, we can imagine it, we can create or discover it. I think I’ll grab a cup of coffee and imagine what tomorrow will look like for me if all things were possible.

Something to Think About
It’s impossible for us to change the world. It is possible for us to change our personal world. We begin by asking what kind of world do we want? The world we want includes our home, family, neighbors, and folks with whom we work. Having a big house filled with lots of things doesn’t make a house a home. What will make your house/apartment a home? What kind of relationships do you want? Do you want relationships filled with understanding, generosity, forgiveness, and love? Creating the kind of world you want takes hard work.
Today’s Inspiration ~ Is It Time to Change?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
~ Albert Einstein
Something to Think About
Do you have the perfection bug? There is no vaccine to cure it. Think about perfection for a second. Whatever we do, we can do better. Perfection is an illusive goal. One that can’t be achieved. Seeking self improvement is quite different from perfection. Seeking self improvement is a form of humility acknowledging that we are not perfect. Whenever the perfection bug takes a nip out of me, I marvel at a beautiful southwest sunset and know in my heart no painter could ever create or recreate the sunset I am viewing. I return to a place where I am happy with who I am and where I am.
