<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ever notice how life throws you curves on a pretty regular basis - and pretty serious ones? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What did you want to be when you were a child? Didn't happen did it? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember when you were about to graduate high school and you knew exactly where you were headed? Took a different route didn't you? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How about that dream spouse you envisioned? He/she is great but not at all like the person you fantasized.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who would have guessed you'd have the friends you have or the car you drive or the house you live in or attend the church you attend or the kind of kids you have?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It would be nice to have a crystal ball sometimes - just so you know what's coming. But my guess is that, even then, you would find a few surprises along the way.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is the thing: We should EXPECT the unexpected. That's life. Sunshine and rain, storms and clouds and warm breezes - it all happens in a way we can't really control nor anticipate. But we can live our lives in anticipation of changes that surprise us. We can welcome them as blessings or new challenges or opportunities or we can be "bummed" every time we are blind-sided. I think we ought to choose the former rather than the latter. We'll be happier. We'll be more satisfied with life. We'll be ready for the next big surprise to surprise us.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-30031385087261161462012-08-07T12:33:00.001-04:002012-08-07T12:33:28.537-04:00DON'T HURRY - DON'T WORRY<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U37MNsRZ0Do/UCFDM3wp3lI/AAAAAAAAAkk/XXdFqE6-uZA/s1600/hurry-worry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U37MNsRZ0Do/UCFDM3wp3lI/AAAAAAAAAkk/XXdFqE6-uZA/s320/hurry-worry.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">The two biggest happiness and health killers in our lives are summed up in my title: Hurry and Worry.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we are constantly on the move - going at top speed to get done all we think we have to do - we harm ourselves. The stress of always being on the go and feverish accomplishment simply is not good for us. We get headaches and stomach aches and muscle tension, we feel tired all the time, our heart rate and blood pressure is elevated...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Worry does much the same thing. When we worry we are distracted and unable to think about nor appreciate the good things in life, we become irritable, we have nightmares, we feel irrationally insecure.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So take a break from the busyness of the day. Take a deep breath and realize that worry has never accomplished anything and try to see the positive and good in your day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I subscribe to one of those joke-a-day emails. I begin my day, like most
Americans, by watching the news. Probably not the best way to get off
to a positive start. So I attempt to neutralize it with something
light-hearted. Today I received one of those "Ever Wonder..." lists.
Ordinarily I wouldn't pass it on but today I saw one that really struck
me as somehow significant. Here is the list with the one that hit me
highlighted:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">- Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?<br /><br />
- Why women can't put on mascara with their mouths closed?<br /><br />
- Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?<br /><br />
- Why "abbreviated" such a long word?<br /><br />
- Why it is that doctors call what they do "practice"?<br /><br />
- Why it is that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?<br /><br />
- Why lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons?<br /><br />
- Why the man who invests all your money called a broker?<br /><br />
- Why the time of day with the slowest traffic is called rush hour?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">- Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?<br /><br />
- Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?<br /><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">- If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The world is watching the Olympics this week. It's a wonderful thing to see the nations of the world getting together and compete in peace. There ought to be so much more of that. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wl6kLc9mMwc/UBaj2lWmcKI/AAAAAAAAAkE/m_u08kMDuxk/s1600/Abide+With+Me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wl6kLc9mMwc/UBaj2lWmcKI/AAAAAAAAAkE/m_u08kMDuxk/s320/Abide+With+Me.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">A friend sent me a link to a section of the opening ceremony that Americans didn't get to see. For some unknown reason NBC omitted it in favor of a Ryan Seacrest/Michael Phelps interview. It is, apparently, not uncommon for networks to cut from some of the opening ceremonies to insert commercials but to omit an entire performance NOT because of commercials is unprecedented. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I wonder if it had something to do with the religious tone of the performance. The music was a hymn: "Abide With Me." Nevertheless, the performance was a tribute to terrorist victims of 7/7, Britains attack the day after the Olympic Committee chose Great Britain as the site for these games.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The announcer announced it this way:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Ladies and gentlemen, please pause silent for our memorial wall for
friends and family who can't be here tonight. The excitement of that
moment in Singapore seven years ago when England won the games was
tempered the next day with sorrow from the events of July 7th that year.
A wall of remembrance for those no longer here to share in this event.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Watch it. You will be one of the few Americans who have the opportunity. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I usually think of myself as being pretty "even" temperamentally. I don't often get stressed or uptight about things. I am not much of a worrier. But I know a lot of people who are. I've even tried to convince some of them that worry doesn't actually change anything (except within themselves - all change being for the worse). So I was a bit disconcerted when I received a link twice today for the same site - <a href="http://www.calm.com/">calm.com</a> Are people trying to tell me something?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's really a pretty cool site. The idea is that you take a couple or a few minutes every so often to just look at beautiful scenery, listen to soothing music and, a new addition, listen to words of peace. I can't help but to think that, if everyone did this each mid-morning and mid-afternoon, our own personal worlds would be better places to be.

The suggestion is that life is so very difficult - it is filled with heartbreak and problems. Life is filled with clouds and storms and discouragement. But perhaps, even in the midst of all that, if we can muster a smile, life won't be so hard. Crying does no good, giving up does no good, being sour does no good - - but maybe putting a smile on your face will work to change your perspective - your life - your fortune - your world.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Of course you have. We forget 90% of what passes through our fertile minds. The internet has made it easy for people like me (and you if you are so inclined) to spout forth our ideas and impose them on anyone who has a bit of time on their hands and doesn't mind reading. But many have more private thoughts - deeper thoughts - more trivial thoughts - that ought to be chronicled. Start a journal. Do it on line if that is the best way for you (blogs can be made private by simply checking a box). Over the course of time you will find it interesting, fascinating, wonderful and scary to go back and see what you thought about things, people, events, ideas from your past. Setting up a Blogger.com blog takes about ten minutes and the "learning curve" is small. The down side.... Well, I don't think there is one. You've always wanted to journal. Start doing it today!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-422983546296829872012-02-27T17:38:00.000-05:002012-02-27T17:38:39.350-05:00IDEAS ARE FOR SHARING<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-glKykpwj6ow/T0wFr6UwTQI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Ldv6NPiP43E/s1600/ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-glKykpwj6ow/T0wFr6UwTQI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Ldv6NPiP43E/s320/ideas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I just met a house-full of my daughter and her husband's friends. What a pleasure. Each one interesting and friendly even to their friends "parents" who were, for some reason, at a party for thirty somethings (well, we DID have a valid reason for being there - our grandson's first birthday). It was fun to see the way they stimulate one another and get into deeper-than-normal discussions and debates. That's what young people do (although one fellow showed some signs of aging when he said he and my son-in-law met for coffee recently and talked about nothing but kids for two hours) and it reminded me that we all ought to, from time to time, refrain from discussing the weather and aches and pains and who did what and discuss issues and ideas and religion and politics.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I once heard someone say that shallow minds talk about people, normal minds talk about things and great minds talk about ideas. I don't know that that is true - even a little bit - but I've always remembered it - especially when I find myself talking about others. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> So next time you get together with friends talk about ideas - what happened in the world this week - what new discovery science has come up with - how Jesus' "do unto others" fits into our world today - the plight of the poor and downtrodden of the world - what you'd do if you were a policy maker to overcome the economic woes or the unemployment problems of our country.... or any number of other issues.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Talk - stimulate one another - challenge - enjoy - feel young and "intellectual" again.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">An idea is a terrible thing to waste.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-19713052202898501882012-02-26T11:40:00.000-05:002012-02-26T11:40:37.756-05:00LET GO OF THE PAST!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tZlcdGaSIYY/Tz2CLXafI2I/AAAAAAAAAaU/OjX9h-OtLek/s1600/REACH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="361" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tZlcdGaSIYY/Tz2CLXafI2I/AAAAAAAAAaU/OjX9h-OtLek/s640/REACH.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-66953096206970338252012-02-18T17:41:00.000-05:002012-02-18T17:41:59.825-05:00DO MORE THAN THE OTHER GUY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T7xekVFD8zk/T0Ao3-7nSEI/AAAAAAAAAbg/9mClktOTCF0/s1600/HeyYouCardExtraMile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T7xekVFD8zk/T0Ao3-7nSEI/AAAAAAAAAbg/9mClktOTCF0/s1600/HeyYouCardExtraMile.jpg" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I've got a way of getting the edge on the competition. It's a little secret that has been around for a long time and has always been thought to be a good idea but, it seems, has been rather forgotten in business, in relationships, in marriages and all kinds of inter-personal interactions in our culture. Some might call it "accommodation." Being in a religious mindset I prefer to call it "Going the Extra Mile." </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> What it means is to do more than is asked or expected of you. Many question that philosophy: "Why would I do more than I need to? Why would I put in effort that isn't necessary? What would be the advantage of doing more than is required to get the job done right? And those questions are legitimate. The very words used give the answer: "need to," "necessary," and "required." The answer to all is YOU DON'T. That is the point. Everyone does what they "need to" or what is "necessary" or "required." Doing more sets you apart - makes you different - draws attention to what you do and how you do it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Always do more than expected or that you have to to get the job done. That doesn't mean working harder, it means working with excellence and with the attitude that any job worth doing is worth doing better than the other guy.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-82330249306151901292012-02-17T08:03:00.000-05:002012-02-17T08:03:37.153-05:00YOU - TODAY (a bit of fun)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ouNX7Ms2VVw/Tz5PzdeWLPI/AAAAAAAAAac/K2LMySthDxM/s1600/You+are+You.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ouNX7Ms2VVw/Tz5PzdeWLPI/AAAAAAAAAac/K2LMySthDxM/s640/You+are+You.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-53954535723769226412012-02-16T17:14:00.003-05:002012-02-16T17:17:28.227-05:00TODAY<div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 24pt;"> </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RbUSIG2SL6o/Tz1-2YAIFYI/AAAAAAAAAaE/_CYW5ALmBWE/s1600/Today.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RbUSIG2SL6o/Tz1-2YAIFYI/AAAAAAAAAaE/_CYW5ALmBWE/s320/Today.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><ul><li><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 36pt;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today there is work to be done.</span></li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Discouragement is something everyone faces from time to time because our sights are usually set higher than reality allows.

Michael Jackson is dead but everyone knows how much he enjoyed life with his vast fortune.

A University of California psychology professor says “Satisfaction increases when you feel you have more control over your life, and you have more control over your life if you have more financial resources.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

Oh, I suppose we don’t HAVE to be responsible, but when we aren’t we suffer some pretty painful consequences. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes responsibility seems like such a burden to bear. We have to feed and cloth our families. We have to go to work every day – on time. We have to work conscientiously all day long. Then go home and do it all over again tomorrow. <br />
<br />
On the weekends we have to spend time </span><span style="font-size: large;">with the kids and family, go to church, call our mothers… It just never ends. When is it going to be “ME” time?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a little secret: It’s ALL “me” time. Being responsible is not really a burden. It is a blessing. We have been entrusted with things in this life because we ARE responsible and, it seems, the more responsible we are the more we are entrusted with. If we are mature adults and accept the responsibilities we are handed and do what we are expected to do, our lives will be rich and full and more responsibilities will come our way. Be faithful. Do all that is required of you and even more. It's ME time!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-91447935746118417922012-01-23T12:32:00.000-05:002012-01-23T12:32:35.727-05:00THINK FIRST<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">You know them. You know people who "shoot from the hip" most of the time. They react and respond to things before giving the idea or happenstance time to process. Sometimes that works - sometimes it is disastrous.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

We need to get perspective and come up with an effective response.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the keys to successful life is to learn to under-react rather than overreact. Not only will you reduce your level of stress and anxiety but you'll be able to more effectively handle the challenges that come along.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Learn to accept the fact that some things will not be immediately resolved. Calmly, thoughtfully, carefully, diligently move toward a well-considered and desirable outcome. Almost always this is the best approach.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">When faced with an emergency, of course, this advice goes away - take immediate action. But emergencies are rare - keep that in mind, too. In most situations life throws at<span> </span>you, you have the option to put them on the back burner for a bit to think rationally. Then, after considering ramifications and options and possibilities, come up with the direction you ought to take.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-43841881365966584332012-01-11T10:03:00.000-05:002012-01-11T10:03:10.327-05:00DESTINY UNFOLDS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pnJRY5syiBk/Tw2jCRierfI/AAAAAAAAAXM/R1gZc5QOaow/s1600/character.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pnJRY5syiBk/Tw2jCRierfI/AAAAAAAAAXM/R1gZc5QOaow/s320/character.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Who we are each moment of our lives has an impact on the whole. What we allow to enter and be entertained in our minds makes a difference in the long term. One person said it like this:<span style="font-style: italic;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Watch your thoughts, </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">for they become words.<br />
Watch your words, </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">for they become actions.<br />
Watch your actions, </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">for they become habits.<br />
Watch your habits, </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">for they become character.<br />
Watch your character, </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">for it becomes your destiny.<br />
- Anonymous</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes we forget that simple progression. We entertain thoughts that are unsavory and our words become coarse, our actions become unthinking and unfeeling. We begin to live as though that is the way life is supposed to be and all of that adds up to be US!</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But the opposite is true as well. When we are able to concentrate and visualize good things, our life changes for the better. We become better people and others respond to us in a more positive way and life simply goes in directions that are more desirable.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">So today keep good thoughts in your mind all day long and see what comes out of your mouth, what actions you naturally take... and see where it gets you.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />

The idea is to do nothing for two minutes - to sit back and relax and recoup. We all need to be able to do that from time to time and especially now, during the Christmas season. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>So go ahead, go to <a href="http://www.donothingfor2minutes.com/">http://www.donothingfor2minutes.com/</a> and do nothing for a couple of minutes other than get a bit of perspective on life and Christmas and what both are all about.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-48979245515921545212011-12-06T09:53:00.000-05:002011-12-06T09:53:14.227-05:00PEACE<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

This last one is the most important even though it comprises only 1/7billionth of the earth's population. In theory, if each of the 7 billion people on earth had internal peace, there <br />
WOULD be peace on earth and between individuals. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But peace is illusive. Even the definition is a bit vague. But we all know it when we see it or experience.<span> </span>If just feels "right." </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We don't need to resolve every conflict in our lives to experience peace. We don't have to solve all of our problems. Peace comes when, in the midst of conflict and in the midst of problems we are able to let them go (when I was a child I remember our minister say, "Let go and let God..."). THAT is one of the keys to being happy in life - being at peace.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Peace is available to each one of us if we practice the habit of letting things go. Things may work out right or they may not, but fretting over them does absolutely no good. In time all will somehow work itself out. Be at peace. Practice being at peace. It's really the only way to go.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://Insight4LivingToday.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154404346006138763.post-80761668950590787862011-12-05T14:33:00.000-05:002011-12-05T14:33:56.379-05:00GETTING THERE<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

But all of them are HUGE. How can you possibly get there? The answer is simple - and it's the only way: one step at a time. Nothing worth accomplishing can be accomplished over night. It all takes time and, more importantly, each one is brought to reality in small increments. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
