Do you understand?

I wonder why people don't understand that it's perfectly OK, even highly ideal, to claim all is well amongst doubt and confusion?

To be happy in spite of challenges?

To laugh at problems? 

Dance without a partner? 

Sing without a rhyme?

Talk to inanimate objects?

Oddly, most don't and I find  that interesting

Look back

If you were able to look back at your most brilliant successes, stunning comebacks, amazing catches, and smokin' ideas, and you were to find that virtually all of them seemed to materialize out of thin air, when you least expected them, and that they had exceeded even your greatest expectations at the time, how excited would you be about your life as you face the next set of challenges and know that you can overcome them all.

Dwelling on the unimportant

Dwelling on the unimportant, stressing on the unintended, and freaking over the unknown, simply doesn't work... and are a bit like lighting a match in a dark room to make sure no one accidentally sprinkled any gunpowder on your bicycle, kept under the stairs, near the back porch, in January.

Actually, some of that wasn't really important, but hopefully, it distracted from any stigma you may have attached to freaking over the unknown

A quick question for you today..

Do you schedule your life or does your life schedule you?

Now before you dismiss this question as silly wordplay, I want you to think about it a little more deeply.

Yes, we all have certain obligations in our lives that demand our time. But we always have the power to choose whether or not those obligations will continue to be in our lives.


In my experience, successful people (whether you define success by money or simply by happiness) choose to schedule their lives - rather than being scheduled by their lives.
