Challenge #2

Don't waste your time hating people, things, and/or places... Hate, hate. Not anything else. We can accomplish more if we do one thing at a time than nothing at all. Every small move counts. Whether it is passing on a smile, sharing positive advice, or lending a helping hand to others... it counts! The opportunities are endless. Don't wait for it, start now!

Question of the day: What have you done today to help others?

Challenge #1

Challenge of the day:

Refrain from loving "things" and focus on loving people. How many times a day do you find yourself saying "I love this TV show" or "I love these shoes"? I bet if you actually count the times, you will loose track. We weren't made to love things, we were made to love one another. So today, take some time to let those who are important to you know how much you love them. That is real love! The rest is just plastic.

What Do You Choose?

Happiness is optional. It is an act you choose to feel, follow, and pass on to others, however, you have to want it to have it. 

Being happy is easier than you think and while most people might consider happiness found in big situations, it is often found in the smallest things in life. All you have to do sometimes, is look around! Cherish every second, every moment, and every memory. 

There will be times in life when we might feel unhappy and it is then when we must take a moment to pick ourselves up. Nobody else will do it, nobody else will know how you feel inside... it is up to you to want to be happy! Just remember, once you find yourself in a happy place, share it with someone else!

Imperfection.

Is truly what makes you beautiful. Nobody is perfect, we all have scars. Some of these bring up happy memories and others do not. 

Instead of dwelling in the past, focus on where you are now. How have those scars made you a better and stronger person?

Take a second to realize where all of those little imperfections have led you to.

Be positive and know that tomorrow morning you will have a brand new day. A new beginning to start all over again!

Moving On.

Forgetting is tough. Forgiving is tougher.

If you want to move on, you need to make sure that you are not only forgetting, but you are also forgiving along the way. You will not be at peace until you make peace. 

This goes for everything in life, not just people.

Structure.

Not everyone is able to set a strong foundation for their life from the start. Some of us are better at it than others. For example: some people grab different parts of the structure at different times and build their fort of life at their own pace, while others start from the bottom up. Regardless of how you choose to build your fort, you must always remember the foundation. Without a strong base, your structure will collapse. Maybe not right away, but eventually it will weaken.

It is never too late to add a strong base to your fort. Even if your windows have already been set in place, you can still manage to set the tone of your construction. Always remain positive and never forget about the little things that surround you, as these are often the ones that will strengthen anything no matter how big or small the structure is.

Take for example the picture to the right... All we see is the huge wire cables and steel eyebars, but those screws that are naked to the eye, are some of the most important parts that are helping this bridge sustain itself. 

P.S If you ever run into a person whose foundation might be missing, be patient and remember not everyone builds the same way.

Gentle Persistence.

Are you dealing with someone who just won't open up to you? Are you tired of wondering what he/she is thinking? Sometimes we have to be the ones to open up the conversation and invite people in. No matter how mad it makes us and no matter how many times we have tried. The key to getting people interested in you is by becoming interested in them. Take some time to focus on what he/she is doing. Ask about them and learn about them.. this will help make people feel interesting to you and will start to open up more and more.

Practice silence and you will see how much that person has to say.
