It's the small things in life that make life worth while. Watching a sunset or sunrise, hearing a song you haven't heard in a while, seeing a butterfly, a baby watching you and smiling at you etc.. These things make life easier to deal with as you go through your own personal stuff. Look for them and they will find you. Create the day YOU deserve!!! Listen. Share. Inspire.

Whether it's from your family, friends, coworkers, or even strangers, we all at sometime or the other have been let down by our expectations of others. Be disappointed by what we thought ours would've done in certain situations cause we would have done differently. And while it is ok to have expectations of others, it is better to try and understand why they did what they did; to have empathy. Your highest expectations should always be for yourself to limit disappointment, and even then we drop short occasionally. Expect from yourself, understand from others, and limit your disappointment.

All a mirror does is reflect what is in front of it. Fixing or changing the mirror does not replace the reflection, that's on you You a responsible for whatever reflection that is given. Changing it, for the better, is hard; leaving it as is, is much worse. The positive change you want from your kids, family, friends, the world etc... begins with YOU!!! Be the change you want to see.

Take a moment and examine the thoughts that are in your mind right now. How often do we have negative thoughts? How often do they alter our mood? It is ok to have negative thoughts, we have them ALL the time. What we do with them, the actions we take, determine the outcome and direction of our lives. Release the bad ones and lock in the positive ones. Change your thoughts, change your life. Put your thoughts into words, your words into actions, and your life into order.

You know that method in tv shows and movies where they take their time build the main characters whys, reasons, stories etc? Where it can go on for either the entire 1st season or half the film? We should look at life like that at times. When things look as though they aren't progressing, as if they are stagnant or even regressing that's when we should try to see what lesson we can learn for it. See what we might need for the second act or the other seasons. Don't drop it all because you can't see past right now. What's coming is better than what has gone.

One sets the environment, the other reacts to it....the same can be said about our emotions. Either we are reacting to them or creating the conditions that are right for us; either we are allowing persons to nudge us how they want or we are taking control. Sometimes a good cussing resets everything lol. Take control of your emotions, don't give that power to anyone especially without your permission. Create the day YOU deserve!!! Listen. Share.

It's a question that has been asked by us for years and will continue to for years to come. What is happiness? Is it something we pursue? Or wait for? My opinion is that happiness is a combination of contentment and perspective; appreciating what you have and doing the things that make you happy. It changes, and varies, based on age cause what makes a 3yr old happy won't necessary make a 33yr old happy. Finding your happiness means finding out who you are. Whether it is watching a sunset or just a random butterfly flutter by, your happiness begins and ends with you. Create the day YOU deserve!!! Listen. Share. Inspire.
