Speaking Another Language

Sometimes no matter what you say to another person, you swear that you're speaking another language. There is definitely a communication problem, but where do you begin to correct it. It seems what ever you are trying to say, the other person doesn't seem to understand. It can be frustrating when you find yourself repeating yourself.  No matter how you put it, it seems to fall on deaf ears. You're not sure if you should just step away for a moment to gather your thoughts and regroup. Nothing you're saying at this time seems to be getting across. Maybe, just maybe it's not you but the other person. What if they are not ready to hear what you have to say? What if they do hear you but need time to process the information? Stop and think of the message you're trying to get across, then give the other person time to think about what you're saying. Nothing will get accomplished when there is too much emotion swirling around. It's not understanding the message that is important. It's learning to have patience with others and realizing the importance of good relationships.

There are no words to describe nature's beauty...

(Sometimes I have to reflect upon what I'm going to say before speaking to people. It's only a check and balance that I'm saying what I want to convey. I know that half the people I speak to don't understand what I'm saying. It's only by asking me what I meant will they understand. Or maybe not.)

You Can Do Anything

What if you had no fears to stop you from attaining your heart's desire? What if nothing stood in your way of doing what you've always wanted to do? What if you were free to break out of the boundaries you've set for yourself? The world awaits you to do as you wish. Nothing is preventing you from achieving your heart's desire but you. It may be difficult to believe because you've given yourself so many excuses why you aren't able to reach your heart's desire that they have become your reality. Change the story that you've been telling yourself, then you can do anything. You are the key to your success. You are the storyteller of your new ending. You are the light that will guide you to all that you have only dreamed about.

Be who you are meant to be...

(Sometimes I'm blinded by my own passions that I lose focus of everything else. I know that I should be more balanced, but then if I'm not driven I won't get what I want completed. It's that passion that makes me feel that I can do anything.)

Don't Stop Now

You may find yourself stopping every once and awhile and reflecting on the past. You want to make sure that you didn't leave anything behind. You can't stop the "what ifs" from popping up in your mind? You spend so much time looking at what has passed that you find yourself missing what is going on right now. It's so easy to forget that there is so much ahead of you when you relive the past over and over again. Somehow it never gets any better no matter how much you go over it. Looking back with regrets prevent you from see the picture clearly. You forget all the special moments that made you who you are today. By being present today, you may have a better appreciation of what you've experienced and the blessings you have. Now is the time to continue on your journey with anticipation  that opportunities are waiting just around the corner. Don't stop in your pursuit of your heart's desire. 

See the miracles that are right in front of you...

(I can see where a person could live with regrets but what good is that. If regrets could change the life of someone to do better or to help others than I say go at it. But regrets are only that. Feeling sorry for myself over 15 minutes doesn't do any good. 15 minutes that was a random time. Let's make it 5. As you can see I don't do regrets very well. I tend to move on.)

Waiting For The Other Shoe To Fall

Sometimes in life, you hesitate in moving forward because you know that something will come along to prevent you from succeeding. You prepare yourself for failure telling yourself that there is nothing in life that you desire. If you don't get your hopes up then you won't get disappointed. You go through life waiting for the worse to happen. But what if the worse is just a part of the cycle of life. And it is by going through adversity that you become the best you can be. You gain the strength to overcome the obstacles that come your way. Know that for every shoe that falls it's the perfect match for the one that you are wearing now. And for a moment in time, you have a pair of shoes that is just right for you.

All the pilots are wearing perfectly matched shoes...

(Sometimes I feel as if I'm going around with only one shoe on. It gets pretty uncomfortable hobbling around trying to pretend that everything will be alright. But before I know it, I have both shoes on again and I'm doing much better. I know when someone owns a pair of red shoes that they feel good about themselves.)

Peace In Your Heart

Although you may have been waiting for the holiday season to come around again, you may still find yourself looking for a quiet spot when the crowd gets too loud. You've been anticipating the special moments that the holidays bring, but when the season finally gets here it may be a bit overwhelming. Balancing life at this time is important. When you concentrate too much on doing one thing, another area may become neglected. Adding new activities to the mix, you can either juggle everything successfully or watch the pieces fall around you. So take the time in between all of your busyness and enjoy the season. You can always find a moment to sit quietly somewhere and just watch the holiday festivities from the side. Enjoy the season with peace in your heart.

Happy Holidays...

(When I think about the holiday season, I used to think that it's just about marketing. But when I looked beyond that, I began to really enjoy myself. This really is a season to be happy.)

Young At Heart

There are so many things that you still want to do in life. It's as if you were born yesterday and have opened your eyes for the first time. Everything is shiny and new. The world is yours to experience and you are ready to take on all the adventures that come your way. Every day is yours to live life to the fullest. It doesn't matter what your age is when you're young at heart. When you look at life as a blessing, then all will unfold in front of you. 

Life is an adventure...

(I haven't tried something new for awhile. I think it's time to do something different.)

I Can Still Be Amazed

Just when you think you've seen it all, you see something that stops you in your tracks. The most amazing thing that you've ever seen. It's not that you've become jaded or that you'd admit to having seen everything in life, but life tends to get boring when you do the same thing every day. You get used to life and every thing seems to be colored by the same paint brush. Then one day, something happens that re-opens your eyes again and makes you remember that there are still miracles in life. We are all blessed with these special moments. Each of us see things differently, but for each of us these moments are forever etched in our minds. They are just reminders that the universe has many things in store for us if we'd only keep our eyes wide open.

There are miracles everyday...

(Things that amaze me, just sneak up on me. My niece just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. No matter how much we prepared for this event, when we saw his pictures we were amazed. What a miracle! Babies are truly the universe's way of letting us know that we must be doing something right because there is another generation that is here to continue our journey.)
