Ownership.....

My Belief for this Day..........Don't blame all of your uncomfortable circumstances on God as if He is giving you a pop quiz. Most of the time our troubles are self made. The sooner we step up to the plate and acknowledge this, the sooner we overcome and carry on.

Vet.........

My Thought for this Day........We all are Veterans of some sort. Each one of us carries battle scars of life. To live is to know joy, and also pain. But for today, please take some time away from yourself and thank a Vet. Because of them, you breath free air, make free choices, follow free paths. Thank a Vet.

Belief.....

My Thought for this Day.......Early morning and my thought is ....I Believe. We all believe in many things, but the fact of the matter is one Belief sets the tone for all others. What is your biggest, most life consuming, changing, determining Belief? Until you recognize and acknowledge and live that one Belief, all others drift like sand on the beach. So set that Belief and then watch how the others fall in line. It's an amazing thing.

Memories.....

My Thought for this Day.......The memories you make today will linger in your world forever. Make sure they are worthy enough to be your lifelong companions.

Assumptions.....

My Thought for this Day......Whom do you assume the best about? And the worst? Are there people in your life whom you know....or think you do.....will trip and fall? Are there people in your life whom you will defend to a fault, never seeing their frailties? I think we're all guilty of both. What a disservice to ourselves and others. We are all human. We all fail and succeed. How sad to not see past your expectations of somebody. Clear your mind of your assumptions. There is love in second chances. Equally, realize that no one lives without mistakes. To assume someone is perfect is stunting their growth. There are lessons in mistakes.

Beacon......

My Thought for this Day.....I've always been fascinated with light houses. It's on my Bucket List to actually visit one. Even though they are becoming obsolete, I hope to one day stand beside one and imagine the tales it could tell. They were truly Beacons of Hope in their day. They lit the way for many a sailor who was lost. I think we all need a Beacon of Hope in our lives. Can you be that light for somebody?

Alone.......

My Thought for this Day.......I think to live your life with the attitude of 'not needing anybody' is harmful. Furthermore it is arrogant and self centered. We all need somebody. We are inherently creatures of love, bonds, and union. We are social creatures; some more than others, but at the end of the day, we all need someone. Don't live your life as if you are a mountain unto yourself. This will rob you of some of life's greatest pleasures.....to give and receive love, to give and receive help, to give and receive acknowledgement. Standing on the podium all by yourself is lonely and egotistical.
