Where are you going?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   The roads of your life are waiting to be created.  You decide the direction.  You choose the way.  You control the building blocks.  Do you know where you’re going?  Begin building the map for your path from what you already have.  This is an adventure into the unknown of the known and a quest to see where it leads and what it creates.  Join in.  Pave the road of your life, one creation at a time, from what you have.

Morning Motivation   It only feels like what you don’t have is what you need.  Instead of focusing on what you don’t have—whatever you think that might be…enough money, the right looks, the best house, opportunities, youth, age, experience, support—think about what you do have.  See it all with fresh eyes.  Consider its potential.  Rearrange it.   Shift your ideas of it.  Look at it from a different angle.  Get creative with what you already have.  When we create from what we have, what we have expands. We always have enough to create something from—a smile, kindness, love, an idea, a new choice. Be fearless. Create something. What are you going to create?  ...
