A Few Positive Thoughts and Images for You

Since this week's blog articles have been a bit different in their daily consistency, I thought I'd share a final blog of the week for you. I simply want to share some positive graphics that I've come across over the past few days. Some have been featured on the FB fan page and some have not.
I hope that one or more will encourage and uplift you as you look over them.

"E" in BELIEF

 
- EVERYDAY -
 
As I continue with my thoughts on the word, "BELIEF", I want to apply the word, "EVERYDAY" to the 2nd "e" in this word.
 
Now, before I get into that, let me give another quick recap of what I've shared so far, o.k.?
 
We began with the word, "BEYOND", and discussed how we MUST be able to look beyond our current circumstances to see what CAN be and what WILL be. This process helps us understand the importance of our BELIEF that our current circumstances (what IS), will not remain that way. We then applied the word, "EVENTS", with the encouragement of not allowing our everyday events to darken our vision and our ability to look beyond those events. The word, "LIFE", was discussed in a way to help us all understand that life is happening every day. What we experience - yes, the good AND the bad - is all a part of life and the emotions that go along with those events let us know that we are alive! And then, in the last article, we used the personal pronoun, "I", to understand that "I am responsible for my own actions!".
 
Now then, it is important - even VITAL - for us to be applying these thoughts to our mindset EVERY SINGLE DAY! Not just once in a while but, EVERY DAY!
 
Yes, it IS that important. And, since I feel so strongly about it, I used the word VITAL in the last paragraph.
 
Just as your "vital signs" indicate that you are either dead or alive (or near one or the other), so it is with DAILY activity with these thoughts in relation to your belief!
 
In the same way that you become weak if you do not eat for several days, so it is with this. Friend, if you try to go through several days without adding thoughts like have been discussed in this series (and in this blog on a regular basis), then your BELIEF will be - not "might be" - WEAK!
 
Applying these things to your life EVERY DAY will help solidify your belief. By doing so, your belief will become REAL and SOLID and not something that is just a bunch of words.
 
It's when you begin to LIVE your belief that it finally becomes "real". It becomes "who you are". Or, another way to put it is that when you begin to LIVE your belief on a daily basis, it becomes more than just talk. No one has to guess, no one has to wonder about your belief.
 
When they see you, they see and know what you believe for, you truly do live what you believe.
 
Every day, one day at a time.
 
And, as you do that, always be sure to...

YOUR Amazing Race!

Wow, I'm "pumped"! As you know, my wife and I attended the "Success Symposium" in Dallas this past Saturday and - IT WAS AWESOME!
I'll be sharing a lot of good stuff from that over the next several days and likely weeks!

It was also great to meet Angie Strader (http://www.theworldneedsmorehappy.com/) and her husband, Tommy while we were there. Great people! I had the chance to do an interview with Angie during lunch and I will have that up on a future podcast very soon.

Last night (Sunday) as I was preparing thoughts for my podcast, I was watching the last half hour or so of "The Amazing Race" and it just hit me....WE are all involved in our own "amazing race"! So, I "scratched" what I thought I wanted to talk about and went with this idea. And, I must say, if you listen to that podcast and can't tell I'm pumped then you might need to check your hearing! ;)

Listen friend, we ARE all involved in this race - this JOURNEY - are we not? Every day, good and/or bad, is part of this race/journey that takes place before us each and every day. Here's the kicker - WHAT WILL YOU DO in YOUR race?

Yup, you'll hear me say it again - IT'S YOUR CHOICE!

Some of you may still be sitting on the sidelines and....
- stretching...preparing to enter the race (how long are you going to stretch?)
- wondering if you should enter the race (hello? it's YOUR race, remember?)
- dreading the race and the pain that might come with it (a life without some pain does not exist...those that have no pain are no longer with us!)
- watching....you can't run a race from the sidelines - GET IN THE RACE!
- comparing yourself to other participants -- you are YOU and it's YOUR race!

No one else can run it for you! No one else is you - YOU live and participate in YOUR race in YOUR world. But whatever you do - DO IT! (Why not now? - remember?)

It's AWESOME to experience life. Yes, even the "bad" or "down" times help us to know that we are alive!

So, get off the sidelines and enter YOUR race.
When you "hit the wall" - keep going!
Remember, all races are done the same way - ONE STEP AT A TIME.

Here's to YOUR AMAZING RACE!

And....
"Make it an AWESOME day (and race) - Who else is going to do it for you?"
