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. !!!

Just thinking

Love is the thing that makes you smile, knows when you need a hug, supports you when you need uplifting, is a calming force, an ally when needed, but more importantly a hand to hold in times good, bad, and otherwise. Love is not be feared. But we should fear never giving ourselves and truly loving.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say

Movie Watch

Keep the reel running. Just kidding kinda. Actually I say that because I was not a big TV person(literally). It was not uncommon for several weeks to go by with out me turning it on. But I've probably watched more TV this year than I have ever. That being said, I've learned a few things. TV has given me a different perspective on life. Not entirely but enough to learn something. Of course some of the greatest fun I've had is identifying what I like and don't like about the films and why. Some lessons learned have come out of the most unsuspecting shows. Here's something interesting to do, think about the movies and TV shows you've seen this year and think about how they have made you ponder during the 1st decade of the 21st Century. Here's one of the realizations I've discovered in 2010. People can be reckless with the lives of others. And after having learned that, here's the reality check I got in my own life- those who are reckless in their ca
