We All Fail At Some Things

The poster says:  Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. —Marilyn Monroe

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

I am hearing about the lack of coping skills that many adults under forty seem to exhibit.  The refrain is “they do not know how to accept and deal with failure”.  In our world, not all of us are going to be able to excel at everything.  We are all unique and we are born with different strengths and weaknesses.  These skills require that we find and mesh with others and thus create the teams that are successful.  No one person can do it all.

Blessings,

You Are Here To FULLY Live Life

The poster says:  Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

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

As I watch people aging around me, I notice that the biggest difference between happy people and sad or angry people, is the amount of change that each individual allows in their own life. 

What do I mean?  The happy people are always going and growing.  They learn new things.  They participate in groups or volunteer.  They go beyond what they can or what they have to do to look after themselves.  Many of them are quite active physically in walking, biking, hiking, playing pickle ball or swimming.  The physical activity allows them additional energy to do other things.  When chatting with some of them, they all say that they will give up other things to continue to do the physical activity.  

I think that there is a lot going on about aging that we do not understand and that we can possibly change.  One of the things is going beyond the comfort zone.  What do you think? 

Blessings,

Take Responsibility

Responsibility is about taking credit for your own actions.  When you blame someone else, then you give your power away.  Giving your power away means that people have no reason to respect you, look up to you, or see you as a valuable friend.  

If you want to change the way people look at you, take responsibility.  It is easy to look at the other person, the circumstances, the scene, or the environment, and say that you are not able to make changes – that others want to limit you.  You and I know that is not true.  Yes, some people may want to bully you.  Don’t let them.

Blessings,

Judy
