A Forgiving Spirit

I now understand that forgiveness has value only when it is given away. By the simple act of granting forgiveness, I release the demons of the past about which I can do nothing, and I create in myself a new heart, a new beginning. I will now and forevermore silently offer my forgiveness even to those who do not see they need it. By the act of forgiving, I am no longer consumed by unproductive thoughts. I give up my bitterness. I am content in my soul and effective again with my fellowman.

For many years, my greatest enemy has been myself....I realize today that it is impossible to fight an enemy living in my head. By forgiving myself, I erase the doubts, fears, and frustration that have kept my past in the present. From THIS day forward, my history will cease to control my destiny. I have forgiven myself.

I WILL forgive those who do not ask for forgiveness.
I WILL forgive those who criticize me unjustly.
I WILL forgive myself.
I WILL Greet this day and every day with a forgiving spirit.

Imbalance your life....ignore balance and strive for fullness because the core skill of juggling is throwing, not catching. A strong life is the opposite of juggling....it lies in knowing how to draw a few things in toward you.

Take Charge

Fear no longer has a place in my life. For too long, fear has outweighed my desire to make things better for my family. Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. Failures make their decisions slowly and change their minds quickly. My decisions come quickly, and they lead to victory. I do not fear failure, for in my life, failure is a myth. Failure exists only for the person who quits. I do not quit. I am courageous. I am a Leader. I seize the moment. I choose now....I am a person of Action (the third decision for Success).

Get in The Boat

"If you are determined to win, you will have to surround yourself with winners"

Don't be discouraged by the people you might choose for your team who talk big but produce little. Keep putting them in the boat to see who wants to paddle as hard as I do......AA

Your future is what you decide it to be

It's been a year since I posted....where does the time go? It's been a busy one (honestly though who isn't busy....don't care if you're single, retired or married with 100 kids.....everyone is BUSY....can't remember the last time someone told me how BORED they were).....That being said, personal development has been my focus (in addition to my family, 2 businesses, etc) and why I've been absent from here, but from so many......I have spent my time reading, listening to audios and building a team.....focusing on 5 key areas: my emotional, mental, physical, financial and spirtual well being.....some may call it a crisis (39 and holding)....I call it an awakening.....finally starting to live and am so grateful it has happened at this time in my life.....all because one person saw something in me I couldn't see.....now I in turn not only have a purpose, but know where I am going and what I want.

One goal of mine is to pay it forward.......The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews (amazing Author and Speaker...have heard him twice now....thank you AdvoCare and Women of Faith) is a book I had the privilege to read this past weekend......I will forever be grateful.....

"You are where you are because of your thinking. Your thinking dictates your decisions. Decisions are choices.....YOU choose....until a person takes responsibility for where he is, there is no basis for moving on" CHEW ON THAT ONE FOR AWHILE.....

Lastly, thank you to my best friend and husband of 15 years for surprising me with an Anniversary getaway this past week....will never forget our time together - we are so blessed......(not sure mom and dad will be recovering any time soon - 4 kids and 2 dogs.....but it was fun.....we asked if they would be available again....they didn't answer and left quickly......it wasn't a yes, but not a no either......amnesia and we're good.....).....

Your future is what you decide it will be......
