Ever come home excited with good news and the one you love was waiting excited for you?
Ever watch a sports contest where your favorite team was playing for a championship and someone you loved was next to you cheering as hard as you?
Ever been suffering and the person you love wrapped his/her arms around you and whispered, “It will be okay?”
That’s the difference. Loving relationships make all the difference.Â
Where’s the rush? I’m still trying to figure that one out. Cars speed to get to the stop light. Folks push shopping carts like they’re driving on the expressway. Is it all that important? Maybe it’s time to slow it down, just a tad. Maybe it’s time to smile, smell a flower, enjoy the blue sky, and feel the gentle summer’s breeze.Â
Keep your own counsel. Listen to your heart. The heart speaks loudest when our brains are the quietest.Â
The past may hold great memories; at one time the memories were the present moment. The present moment is where we create memories. Want great memories? Fill the present moment with love, effort, and courage.
Today is a great day. I had a great night’s sleep. I’m healthy. The sun’s peeking over the horizon. The bird’s are singing. I can smell the coffee perking from the kitchen. The day’s only at the starting line. Man, it’s going to be a great day. Hope your day is a great one too.
In life, some get a head start. Big deal. What matters most is the dream we hold in our hearts, how hard we want to work for it, and how much we are willing to sacrifice to achieve it.Â
Don’t let the little blip on your radar screen ruin your day. The rest of the screen is free of blips and it is clear traveling ahead.
I can’t make people love me or like me. Whether one likes or dislikes me is beyond my control. As for me, I will keep an open door and perhaps one day we’ll have a great party and laugh at our differences and disagreements.
It is possible to be a part of what’s going on and simultaneously be apart from what’s going on. Do the best you can to make things better. Avoid the drama and chaos.
You’ve heroic strength. Each morning you get up and do what you have to do. Each time you do what you have to do, you answer a resounding YES to life. You’ve chosen to live and fight on.Â
