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

77 years just isn't long enough.

The average human lifespan is approximately 77 years.  Regardless of health factors, physical location and spiritual belief, in my opinion, that just isn't very long.  Nevertheless, I watch people all the time 'rushing here' and 'hurying to go there.' I often wonder what the big rush is?  Afterall, the self-imposed stress of all that 'rushing' is only going to limit their already short lifespan. And....by the way, where are they really going?

Slow down.  Be still.  Enjoy.  What is important in this life is not the fancy house, big promotion or holiday sale.  Living fully in each moment, revelling in the miracle of your own life and experiencing all that this amazing world has to offer is where you need to focus your energy. 
So, do what you love, have lunch with the girls, leave work early and play with your son, restyle your hair, open the dusty bottle of wine, change jobs, move to the ocean, take a stroll in nature or whatever you have been avoiding or making excuses not to do.  LIVE.  Life is a beautiful thing and we are supposed to be involved in it not running through it or away from it.

On that note, the quote of the day is:

"Take a Leap of Faith and let your path unfold before you."
