Staggered Hope

Used to think I knew what I wanted.

Be careful what you wish for. Heard that before.

You can climb the mountain, but when you get to the top what do you have left?

To slide down on your butt.
Dreams pop in and about. Dabbled tribes of faces come and go.

Life’s missions unfold. Deadened goals eliminated.

What’s in the past stays there. The Universe designs the landscape for tomorrow.

Things happens exactly the way they should. Doesn’t always feel right.

Happiness is earned. Transcribed through time.

Affirmations scribe healing.

Today I feel deafened by sadness.

No job. No money.

Yet I’m able to reach out.

Find food. Feel love.

Appreciate the support.

For tomorrow, there’s staggered hope.

2011 - Setting the Stage

When it comes to setting goals what do you think the hardest part is for most people?

In a recent conversation by email, a friend wrote something to me to the effect of, “Well, you don’t strike me as someone who lets obstacles get in your way…”

My immediate reply was, “The only obstacles are in your mind.”

Take fear. Nine out of ten times fear strikes you from within. Sure there may be external forces at play too, but generally speaking - fear is created in your mind.

For 2011 I’m setting some lofty goals:

• Live healthily so I can help others. Health is wealth.
• Exercise longer, more frequently and encourage others to as well.
• Practice gratitude - daily.
• Follow my heart, no matter what. Dad used to say, “Do what you like, but like what you do.”
• Think/dream big - outside the box. Live it.
• Nourish the soul with creativity and encourage others to as well.
• Practice self-love and self-care often. Teach others.
• Be open to receiving. Love and be loved.
• Take daily doses of inspiration and share it.
• Make a difference through words and pictures - A Fresh Thinker.
• Activate People and Purpose - worldwide.
• Donate blood.
• Explore the unknowns.
• Learn more.
• Blog sustainably.
• Work with OWN.
• Activate a TED Talk.
• Review goals often.
• Smile, so others will too.
• Be. Be me. The best that I can be.

Over to you now... hint: remove the fear by creating a clear and believable path in your mind. You CAN do anything. 


Good luck and remember to be patient. 


Love,
Me
