What Is Your Legacy?

What legacy are you leaving behind?  What will others remember about you?  Will they remember you were loving, caring, giving or will they remember the opposite?  If you are reading this, you are still breathing and have time to make changes right now.  Don't wait to tell someone you love them, you are proud of them.  Don't wait to lend a helping hand, a kind word.  Decide right now to live the life you want etched in the minds and souls of others.  Life is short.  Live it out.

Self Sabotage

Stop Sabotaging Your Potential for Change. 

Subconsciously, we use defense mechanisms to protect ourselves from situations we perceive to be scary or painful. A part of you may want to grow and change, but another part may be resisting because change always takes you into new territory in your thinking and emotions.

If you find you are getting anxious, fearful, angry, frustrated, dismissive or unmotivated, then defense mechanisms are at work. Watch for them and know they are signs of fear that want to hold you back. Once you identify that fear, courageously move through it and keep going!

Choose Wisely

Become wise by walking with the wise, hang out with fools and watch your life fall apart. Proverbs 13:20

Make Real Memories

Make real memories

Little Acts Of Kindness, Bring Big Smiles To Others

Random Acts of Kindness idea:  Send a note and $5 gift card from your favorite coffee place to someone who needs a thank you, a pick me up, a word of encouragement. 

Pay for the person behind you at a drive thru.  

Little things bring big smiles to others faces.

Do You See It?

Stop.  

Put your phone or tablet down.  

Step outside.  

Take a deep breath.  

Now, look around.  

Do you see it?  

Do you see the flowers, the clouds, the green grass, maybe a butterfly or bird flying by?  

Don't miss the beauty that surrounds you, everyday. 

Relax.  

Take it in, and let the stress of life go as you breathe in the simple, yet oh so complex, 
beauty of creation.  

Do Little Things

Do little things for others, it will make a difference in their lives, and in yours.
