Where are you going? Don’t Know? That’s a good thing. You’re not trapped into one way of thinking or being. When we’re not trapped into a single path, every path is open to us. We can pick and choose, try one out, if it doesn’t work, try another. There’s no need to worry about choosing a path, you’ll figure it out. One day you’ll look back and know you were on the right path all along.

A Better Life ~ You Are Made for the Moment
No mountain is too high for you. No road too rugged for you. No odds too tough for you to overcome. No matter the stuggles of your journey, you are made for the moment. Believe it!
A Better Life ~ Change Happens
““A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving (Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu).” In spite of our best plans, life has a way of interrupting them and setting a new course for us. When we live our lives in a way that is open to all possibilities, we open ourselves to new directions, dreams, or hopes as they introduces themselves to us. Change happens, when we’re open and flexible we easily flow with the current.
Think About It
““We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains (Li Po).” The Chinese poet Li Po offers us a great truth. The Earth will continue to take its trip around the sun after we have died. If we reflect on our lives we have an opportunity to examine how we are living and the memories we’ll leave to those most close to us. We can ask ourselves, “What will my life say about me?” Is the answer we find what we want our life to say? If we want it to say something different we can map a new course to our lives. We can also change the attitude we take toward the path we are walking.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Take the First Step
Do you have a dream? Is it time to stop dreaming and start walking toward that dream? Take the first step toward the dream. No matter how small the step, it is the beginning of the journey. Each step forward unlocks a new door and the path you’re to take will unfold before you. It’s all waiting for you to take the first step.
Something to Think About
There’s the easy way and there’s the hard way. Most folks spend an inordinate amount of time looking for the easy way through. It’s why the recent Powerball lottery in the US was worth over 1.2 billion dollars. There is no easy way. It’s the hard way that leads us through. The hard way is fraught with struggles, hard work, and often disappointments. Yet, those who persevere while walking the hard way make their way through. They come out of the journey, successful, stronger, wiser, and better prepared for the next journey.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Be True to Yourself
Being true to yourself often means separating yourself from others. It can be a lonely walk, in the end, you’ll know you’ve chosen your path, for better or worse, walked it with your head held high, and embraced every moment of the journey.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Some Things Feel Better
When we’re helping each other, it feels better. We move out of our isolated sphere and discover there’s a wonderful world full of people wanting to invite us into their lives. By helping each other, we discover the world is not so big, we’re much alike, and we’re all together on this journey.
Something to Think About
Where do you want to go? The best way to get there is to begin the journey. Don’t delay, set out, there’s a voice inside you clamoring for you to start your journey. You’ll figure it out as the journey unfolds. Why not take the chance.? You’ll never know how it will turn out until you dive in. Setting out on the journey awakens the human spirit. You’ll grow in ways you cannot imagine. You learn things you’ve never dreamed you’d learn. And, you’ll have an adventure to tell and retell.
Today’s Poem ~ All is Well
All Is Well
Arthur Hugh Clough
Whate’er you dream, with doubt possessed,
Keep, keep it snug within your breast,
And lay you down and take your rest;
And when you wake, to work again,
The wind it blows, the vessel goes,
And where and whither, no one knows.
Keep, keep it snug within your breast,
And lay you down and take your rest;
And when you wake, to work again,
The wind it blows, the vessel goes,
And where and whither, no one knows.
‘Twill all be well: no need of care;
Though how it will, and when, and where,
We cannot see, and can’t declare.
In spite of dreams, in spite of thought,
‘Tis not in vain, and not for nought,
The wind it blows, the ship it goes,
Though where and whither, no one knows.
