Which road will you choose to travel today? Will you choose the road with negative news, negative people, and feelings of being overwhelmed? Or, will it be the road filled with opportunities at every corner, happy people, and good news? It’s all there. The choice is yours.
Every once in a while we see someone who makes everything look easy. It might be a professional dancer, singer, athlete, or a co-worker. There is something about them where they are one with what they are doing. I think we can all be like these people if we learn to slow down, settle in to what we are doing, and lose ourselves into the moment.Â
There are times where silence is louder than a booming thunderclap.Â
One side says, “I don’t understand why they have those viewpoints.”
The other side says, “I don’t understand why they have those viewpoints.”
So, neither side talks to the other side because each side sees the other side as ignorant, biased, filled with hate. What would happen if both sides sat down and explained why they feel the way they do; then listen to the other side do the same?
Some days are great days. Some days you wonder if you’ll ever get through. It’s all part of the ebb and flow of life. Enjoy the great days and be grateful. Be courageous during the tough days, be grateful for their lessons. You’re strong and you’re doing just fine.
The little things make a big difference. A congratulatory text, a warm smile, letting a driver squeeze in front, or remembering someone’s birthday. There are lots of little things that bring a bit of sunshine and make our world a brighter place.Â
It’s good to have differences of opinions. Different opinions cause us to think and reflect on our positions. If we’re open to learning, perhaps we’ll have new insights and develop new opinions. Listening, discussing, and reflecting are pathways to growth.
Fill your tank with love, let it spill over the top and roll all over the ground. It’s time to dance a happy dance and sing a joyful song. C’mon, you can do it. Start singing and before you know it, you’ll catch the fever and pass it on.
Dance with the thunder. Sing in the rain. Before you know it, there will be a rainbow in front of you and the sun will be at your back. Dance on!
What is it that life wants from you? That’s a tough question. One way of thinking about the question is to look at the events that come into one’s life. It’s in this space of reacting to the mundane, the overwhelming challenges, and everything in between that we learn about ourselves. If we don’t like what we see, we can always change how we react to the day’s events.
