SMILE For No Reason.

Choice Rocks!

If I choose to forget the atrocious it does not denote I do not remember.

If I choose to love it does not indicate I don’t know hate.

If I choose to remain silent it does not signify I don’t know how to speak.

If I choose to salute you it does not represent I am below you.

If I choose to take action it does not imply I have no patience.

If I choose to sing it does connote I will be singing a little out of tune for most part of the song. That’s the given!

Circumstances on days may seem to be king.
But power remains in the company of choice.

It’s the tough days which afford you the independence to make a choice.

In your alone time what thoughts are you thinking? From them the quality of your life emerges. As we get older it gets tougher and tougher to live with attitudes which are not evolving.
This applies to all. No matter whom it is.

You can be sure that when the time comes to rely on another physically.
Our attitude will be our constant companion.
It alone will decide the class of our life.


You have to decide what it is you want.

What is your aim? Where are you going from here?
What do you want to be part of?
And more importantly, what do you not want to be a part of?

Decide and then be prepared to do whatever it takes.
Realization is in the actions which achieve our dreams.

An Awesome Step Forward.

My eyes flew open.
I had a smile on my lips.
My chest did feel light.
Energy soared.
I felt alive. It’s ok.
I sprang out bed.

With a purposeful stride reached the white board.
Marker pen in hand.
Surprising, Amazing, Awesome Breakthrough, I wrote.
Swirling in my mind were happy thoughts.

Thoughts which niggled at me as I lay my head down to sleep that night had turned turtle.
Petty were now their description. For the grip they had on me was no more.

Whatever anyone said or did was meant well.
That was the thought which woke me up. It was 3am.
It is true my subconscious gave me the answer. It was as clear as if spoken to me audibly.
I am living.

There is never a time that there is zilch to say. A kernel of thought is constantly being planted. To grow, flourish or die depends on the attention and focus it receives.

I have two ways to go today. I can dwell on what’s in the pipeline and developing.
Or I can choose to do and enjoy what can be done and is right in front of me.

The former is rewarding insofar as there is something to do on your part.
Once you do all in your power. You have to let it go, and let God.
Nudging the elbow spills the milk.

The latter is in front of me waiting to be done. I immerse myself in it.
I give myself creatively to it. For me it is to be alive physically and mentally where I am.
I am doing things which I thought
I would have the time for only 10 years from now.

I am writing, thinking and creating.
I am spending time with family.
I am making new friends.
I am getting in touch with old friends.

Isn’t it awesome? I find it irresistible!

A Field Day at the Store of My Mind's Eye.

Have you heard the saying “Thoughts become things, choose the good ones”

I began to imagine thoughts as clothing for the mind to help concentrate.

What if thoughts were cloth in the physical world?

Oh, exciting day!

Imagine a store with yarns and yarns of every manner of thought conceivable.

When you wanted thoughts which were lithe with room to breathe, maneuver and remain fresh.

All you would have to do is choose cotton thoughts.

These will bring you to your creative best. Sure to make you happy.

Polyester thoughts are durable, potent with influence and spirit.

So that could be your choice on another day.

Accomplishment and achievement will crown these thoughts.

Synthetic thoughts can ever so often be

a fibber, artificial its strong suit and illusory at best.

Considering these thoughts are you? I would have to be sorry for you.

For the aftermath leaves you hollow and disillusioned.

Wool thoughts can fleece you of your peace, make you put out of sight the important and coat your will dark wishes.

In some circumstances they seem the yummy choice.

In the long run dark wishes take the path of a boomerang.

Tweed is intermingling of

swift and deliberate thoughts, equilibrium of self-assurance and caution.

Highly recommended in the rewarding journey of

self discovery and evolving into a better self.

A Blend is the best for it can come up with an assortment of thoughts that bring together a life so flexible yet united.

You have a mélange of the contented and cheerless.

Both feelings are necessary in the fabric of life.

You create your life one thought at a time.

Choose well.

Go ahead, dress up your thoughts.
May I ask what will you be shopping for today?

Speed Bumps

I was having so much fun driving around on the weekend
and a thought struck me.

What do speed bumps make us do?

We could fly over them to land with a rumble and tumble.
Apologies to passengers required.

Under a lungful of air mumble and grumble, wrench the gears.
Bounce and rattle.
Apologies to passengers required.

Use a stronger language than mumble and grumble.
While the gear stick almost flies out the window.
A personal and private quake follows.
Apologies to passengers required.

Attract and entertain the opposite of calm thoughts.
The plot to kill takes form.
Apologies to self required.

Or

On sight we could change gears,
slow down and sail over them smooth like a baby’s bottom.
No apologies required.

Life is comparable. If you do the math.

Measureless Potential.

I have before me just one thing to do, today.
TO BE HAPPY RIGHT NOW.
It can be the toughest or the simplest thing to do.
It all depends on what I desire to do. It is in my hands.
That’s tremendous power.
Don’t you think so?

Today stop the thoughts of why so and so said so and so,
when so and so did so and so, then so and so said how?
What? Now?
Yes NOW, it’s all I have and so do you.

Today ifs’ and buts’ retire.
‘Not possible’ takes a hike to the back of beyond.
The taunts of ‘problems, challenges and circumstances’ fall on happy deaf ears.

I am happy now in spite of problems, challenges and circumstances.

All harm is temporary even the variety you are inflicting upon
yourself.

All ordeals instruct specially the challenge to overcome self.

All circumstances are transitory whilst your eye is on the big picture.

VIEWPOINT

Buoyancy is to remain lighthearted and spirited in the face of disappointment.
Determination is to find an alternative in the shadows of temporary defeat.

Strength is to believe that all is well, while you carry out day to day responsibility and work.
Courage is to make the best of the situation by helping another in a similar kind of situation.

Guts are to take the risk to trust in the incident of peril.
Staying power is to continue to be inspired by hurdles.

Grit is to swallow the bitter frustration as if it was the sweet fruit of accomplishment.
Stamina is to change approach but keep on track inspite of fatigue.

Fortitude is to do all of the above.

Life is pretty….
Life can be pretty much ‘for the future’ pastime, if you cannot live for today.

At present, questions throng my mind.
Nowadays, is it a trend to appear to be present on the vehicle of progress?
Is it a game at the moment to mouth tired expressions for effect alone?
These days is it easy to succeed and easier to fail?

For one thing I know and that is

NOW is full of opportunity to think better,
act better than yesterday?
