Cloud Nine

Dreams give us hope where is there is none,
Inspiration when we are lacking it,
Love where it is needed and Answers to our questions.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Like the billowing cotton puff drifting across the sky, awaken to something creative and light inside of you. Dream" tc

Fires of Life

What are the three most important components of your life?  Is it the thrill of your job?  The fulfillment of higher education? The spiritual growth of your faith? Or, maybe it is the tender touch of a loved one? How much time do you actually devote to the three most important components of your life? If those aspects could talk, would they reply with the same answer?
So many times we THINK we are dedicating enough time and energy to the important facets of our life, only to discover when they change, the truth of our efforts. Where ever you concentrate the energy of your behavior is really where your heart lies. Sometimes, we are offered the gift of a second chance but that does not mean that the fruit of the gift will materialize in the same mode as the original outcome might have revealed.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"All fires die out, if not tended to regularly. That goes for fires feeding our passions, fires feeding our love and fires feeding our dreams. Those not sustained or successfully reignited simply become ashes and old memories." tc

Walk the Talk

I ask you to pause for a moment and think about all the things that pass through your mind in a given day. I don't know about you but for me the thoughts are numerous and varied in just seconds. How many times do you see someone and think that their outfit looks nice but you don't say anything to them? What do you think would happen if you told someone about the dreams that you have been thinking about? What do you do with the negative thoughts that pop up in your mind from time to time?
No matter how many things I think about, they are just thoughts that I entertain in my head.  Nothing is going to happen with any of those thoughts, until I decide to make them a reality.
What if I ignore the negative thoughts? How much fun would it be to ponder a dream with a friend? Think about how special someone would feel with a kind word or compliment bestowed upon them? Do you still think that you have no impact on brightening the world around you? The path before you is not written in stone, no matter what anyone says to you. Tread down the softer path of life and the mountains will remain in the distance.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"There is solidity to the spoken word that binds itself to our reality." tc
