Find Your Strength

The poster says:  Strength does not come from physical capacity.  It comes from an indomitable will. — Gandhi

*******************************************

Strength moves us from a place of helplessness to being powerful.  Even the smallest child can have incredible strength if they have incredible will!

Our will – our truth deep within our Spirit – manifests so many ways, and yet we do not see how we are being strong.  We see others that are strong, and we remark on how powerful or willful, they are.  

Some examples are the will of people who are ill, to live.   Or, the will of someone to go to university and the most adverse situation.  Or, the will of someone who has different learning disabilities to learn to read and write, and then to write best selling books.   Gandhi is a wonderful example of the will of one man to make change. 

I think about our Ancestors and how they had the will to move from Europe or Asia to North America in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, and then hook up with a wagon train to travel west.  What courage and will!  

Is there something that you need to find the will to do?

June 1 - On Happiness

                                            Picture of happy flowers - J Hirst 

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.  Eleanor Roosevelt

****************

As June rolls in, I think happy thoughts of summer and barbque and drinks on the deck and enjoying the sun and the growing garden and the flowers.  Yes, lots of little things make me happy.  

Today, think of all the things that make you happy and work one happy thing into each of the days ahead.  It is worth the effort.

Blessings,

What Are You Thinking?

The poster says:  Stop thinking of what could go wrong and start thinking of what could go right!

***************************

This poster was a really nice wakeup call for me!  I was falling into a trap that existed around me, on a project, where everyone worried about what could go wrong.  I thought about what I was thinking – that is when you realize how far out you can go with your thoughts!

I normally think happy thoughts.  I am grateful for my sisters and our closeness so I often think about situations that made me laugh when we three sisters were together.  I clicked into a knowing that I let that go… Why?  I was being sucked into “grim”.  

I am letting go of grim and going back to happy.  I made a list of all the good things, and I have it visually pinned to the cork board in my office in my head.  I look at it every day, sometimes twice a day, or when ever I need it.  Things do go ‘right’!

Blessings,

Judy
