Eyesight is one thing but are your senses on and serving you? 

We are always poised to feel stimuli. 

Even if we’ve not noticing it, all our senses are constantly in receiving mode.  

Have you noticed the transmission? Are you documenting the report? 

Vital stats are processing data essential to you specifically; if you’ve not using it to your advantage you’re missing out. 

It’s like having a GPS and ignoring the navigation. 

Everything you came into this world with serves a purpose and not developing and/or using these gifts means you’re doing a disservice to yourself and not living up to your full potential. 

Go for all of the gusto life has to offer! 

Set your intention but be prepared to embrace whatever comes. It won’t always be to your liking but it will benefit you in some way. 

Even the bad things have a certain level of good associated with them because you really can’t have the good without the bad.  

Both of them are needed to maintain the balance of the universe. 

We need this balance to achieve great things beyond what we sometimes think we are capable of. 

Adversity allows us to test our own mettle, grow to the next level and sometimes take a few steps back to catapult forward into the achievement of the quantum leap. 

And those quantum leaps often occur when we need a big shot in the arm of belief. 

It’s not because we don’t believe but because we need that belief to grow exponentially to achieve something even we didn’t know we could do. 

Like the woman that single handedly lifted the vehicle up off her child and pulled them out to safety. 

Be the miracle you want to see in your life! 

Just believe it! 

Everywhere you look there are rules and regulations dictating what you can and cannot do. This emanates from the external entities that you can’t control. 

It reminds me of the serenity prayer and the differentiating between what I can and can’t control and knowing the difference. Sometimes it can be subtle but mainly most of the time it’s overt. 

Dissecting these differences keeps us from wasting energy, makes better use of our time and utilizing this methodology would better serve us if we spread it throughout our lives. 

Think of how much better your life would be if you weren’t wasting time lamenting about the things you can’t change. 

Take the time to lean in, keep that brass ring in mind and go for the best you can get. 

Times a wastin! 

If you’re having a bad dream; don’t wake up “TAKE CONTROL”! 

You’re driving a newer model vehicle on a steep grade 15 miles long (like a stretch of road on I-15 between Las Vegas and Barstow), the electronics go out, the wheel is locked, the vehicle has started spinning, it’s rotated 6 times already; don’t panic, stay calm, say aloud “I’m in control, it’s not time for me to die”. 

Take a deep breath, in a calm voice tell the vehicle how beautiful it is, how a crash will make it look and feel bad, tell it to turn on so you can regain control and get you both home safely. 

Miraculously the vehicle will start and right itself in the road and slow down so you can regain control. Gently steer off to the shoulder and rest for a few minutes. 

Does it seem real enough to you? 

It could happen if you believe it. Sometimes we think it’s easier to just wake up, relinquish control and let things happen but we all have free will and choices. The choices may seem few or nonexistent if you’re out of control in a tumultuous situation. Stop in the heat of the moment, center yourself for a second and make a decision. 

Keep in mind though if your ticket is drawn you’ll eventually HAVE to go but you can still sprout wings and fly away to their destination by following where they lead. Even under those circumstances as long as you’re going you still have a choice; just ask anyone who’s been clinically dead for more than 5 minutes. Either it wasn’t their time or they chose to jump back in; SEE MORE CHOICES! 

If you don’t think you’re good at making quick decisions, take time to practice this week. Go with your gut, confirm with your heart, keep track of what you decide and the outcomes value in your life. This works for the large and small alike. 

It’s a skill worthy of perfecting that will come in handy later. 

Maintain Your Cool and Stay In Control! 

Your exposure to people and circumstances broadens your horizons. 

The relationships you cultivate allow you to discern whether your paths crossing are a lifetime or temporary situation. 

It’s usually a fair exchange in whether you’ll be doing something for them or they’re doing something for you. Overtime, it’s a constant back and forth with varying degrees of who’s actually on the receiving end. 

All through your life there will always be instances of give and take. Look at each opportunity when you’re on the giving end to make a difference. 

Pretty soon you’ll discover the balance will always come back to you receiving again and again and again. 

Don’t Stop Believing! 

A smooth level surface is the beginning for a lot of tasks and one with legs even better. 

All throughout life you have ideas; perhaps a task you’re doing can be made better by some minor tweaking or maybe a major adjustment is needed. 

Implementing your ideas on a regular basis initiates a flow. This type of creativity needs an outlet, direction and use for true maintenance.  

You don’t want old stagnant stuff coming through the pipeline that’s just sludge from buildup on the sides. Discover ways to keep the tap flowing even if it’s only a trickle or a drop. 

Even stale bread makes great bread pudding! 

Stay Fresh!
