Addicted to Thankfulness?

It is extraordinarily uncommon to be fully conscious and in the moment all day, every day.

Why?  No seriously, why?

If being thankful is such a blessing, why do we spend so little time doing it?  Perhaps the same can be said for being healthy.

If being healthy is such a blessing, why do we spend so little time getting and staying healthy?

I think it’s because we over commit, over schedule, and, under plan. There’s a saying, “Failure to plan is planning to fail.”

I’m addicted to thankfulness.  Grateful for the ability to think about issues like this. Excited to have daily challenges. Encouraged by slow and steady progress toward reconciliation.

Yes indeed, thankfulness is a drug. Don’t forget to take your medicine.

Toughest Thing About Being A Success?

“The toughest thing about being a success is that you’ve got to keep being a success”. — Irving Berlin

Most people go through their life and never comprehend what Irving Berlin is saying here.  It is what it is.

Here’s the thing though.  What do you say?  What do you think?

Do you ever get tired of criticizing other people?  Or does it somehow, foolishly, elevate your life past mediocrity?

These are things that run through my head every single day.  Thought I’d attempt to challenge your thinking.

Oh wait, maybe you want to criticize that.  Hey, at least I’m trying. What are you doing right now that focuses on challenging your status quo?

Take Your Time, But Hurry Up

“You no longer spend your life hurrying around the corner for something which is never there”. — Rex Harrison

If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times.  There is no guarantee in life, except that we will die.

There seems to be a delicate balance between hurrying and not hurrying. We shouldn’t rush blindly through life, bypassing life’s simple pleasures.

But then again, we can’t spend too much time doing what pleases us, because in the end, there really is much work to be done.  Our: mind, body, spirit, money, community, job, sleep, errands, chores, etc.

If we take our cue from nature, animals are constantly trying to survive. There is always the threat of danger lurking somewhere.  In nature the saying goes, “Survival of the fittest”. I’m not talking physically, I’m talking comprehensively.

Ya with me, comprehensively.  This means your day will be really busy. Or not.
