What's Driving Your Motivation

We live in a fast paced world full of images to entice, encourage and even discourage everything from creativity, to doing the wrong thing. That's a lot to take in when trying to craft a life that supports your dreams and aspirations while making a positive contribution to this world. That's why we have to stop and ask ourselves, what's driving our motivation? In today's world mixed messages is an understatement. The good is deemed noble but at times not worth it and the bad is encouraged and lauded. Think this dichotomy of sorts is exaggerated, just sit and look at the world with your eyes wide shut and you'll see a world full of hues that can camouflage good and evil. Talk about a masquerade, you literally have to be sure of your vision for this life and what you have to offer. Have children? While you are assessing the world you live in, you may want to assess their world too? You may think it looks like yours but think again? It's possible to be headed toward different destinations... This doesn't have to be all bad but a double check is worth avoiding the wrong turn in life. The wrong turn isn't about making mistakes it's about being misguided or not surrounding yourself around the truth that honors who you are as an individual.

As we drive with a spirit of positive inspiration, make sure you have positive influences to support, embrace and encourage where you are headed in life. Create a life of honoring others who reciprocate the same. And when all's a go, put the gear in shift and drive full steam ahead. !!!

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.

Thought For The Day

"Life is not about the destination but about the journey (quote from Movie Step Up 3) Towards the end of the movie one of the main characters Moose makes this statement. It resonated with my spirit because I believe that life is about both. The journey and the destination but, I totally understood the point he was making. So go on a little journey with me tonight as I share my thoughts and insights with you throughout the evening well unto the New Year. Also keep checking back with me. As we near the count down I am bringing a poem out of retirement that I wrote years ago. I don't know for how long but I think it's fitting as I look over 2010 and with anticipation as we head into 2011.
