Twelve Positive Messages

Sometimes all we need is a little encouragement and a sense
of humor to tackle almost anything the day brings our way. There are those
agonizing moments when we are all alone and don’t know who to ask about things
pressing on our heart. The pressure can squeeze our temples giving us a
headache! Often all we want to do is take a step in a different direction and
start fresh. Life is a journey and we can lose our way. Just like those printed
mazes in children’s activity books—we CAN
start over. Take a minute and glance at some of these messages of hope that
might help with those new steps, giving us a new outlook on life.

 (While you may have
heard similar statements before, I want to say these came from my heart and I've
been in places in my life many, many times where I needed to start over and
look at things from a new perspective. My honest recommendations have helped
those I trained, coached and loved throughout my life and I hope they help you too.)






Listen. There’s ancient
wisdom in listening to nature. Listen to the breeze flow through the
trees. Listen to the rain falling on the leaves. Listen and act or wait
until your moment is perfect. You will know it in your heart. Listening is
spectacularly underrated these days and extremely important. Whom did you
listen to today? Did they say something important? Sometimes even a
stranger can say something remarkable. Listen.
There are billions of
people in the world but only one is exactly like you. Your uniqueness is
the art, the color, the shape and the sound of a puzzle and creation where
you are an integral piece.
 Do something—anything— if you don’t do
it, how will you know? Your clock ticks and tomorrow your clock will look
the same, but it won’t be the same. Change what happens NOW!


Perseverance is the best
way to reach perfection. Practice, rehearse, audition, submit, interview,
enter, sign-up and dare to do what you do best! Don’t be scared. Take baby
steps. At least make an attempt. Try. Someday, you will reap the rewards
of your efforts.
Take a chance and you
might catch a fish. Sit on the bank and pout and you will grow hungry. Active
participation and a positive attitude cannot be texted on your Smartphone.
Assist and get involved while learning or teaching others. Human contact
and personal communication is better than the fastest internet connection
or wireless phone.
Why choose between stylish
and smart? You can be both!  Learning sets the foundation to a fashionable future!
Everyone received a heart
so that everyone can love. 
Erase the sad parts of
your life story. Rewind, delete, delete, delete. Imagine a huge vat of Wite-out pouring over the past. 


Good ideas can launch more
than a thousand ships. Perhaps you are like an undiscovered DaVinci or
Steve Jobs with huge potential and a brilliant mind. Write down those
plans and chart your course for success. The world is waiting for you!
Even flowers will be
embarrassed when they see your smile out-match their spectacular blooms. Yes, there are bad things going on in the world and bad things will continue to happen, but there is still nothing wrong with being happy. Who knows, your smile might make a difference in someone else's life. Spread a little sunshine and smile.
Sure, bird song is lovely,
but you can express so much more! Describe how you feel and tell those you
love because they love the sound of your voice.
If the conditions are right,
you can do anything. Plan ahead and make sure the conditions are right. Act.
