Your Monday Inspiration...
"The modern culture's disdain for the ordinary and worship of the extraordinary has rendered us oblivious to the amazing things in front of us, around us, and within us righ now."
Matthew Kelly

Happy Monday. Crazy question, I know but.. have you noticed society, news, social media, YouTube.. how they are just driving home messages that they want us to revel in, listen to and emulate, be a part of? And subconsiously many people watch and say, "I want to be just like that" (or do that, have that, need that, etc.). Yet, many times we just sleepwalking through life, completely unaware of the extraordinary people, moments and possibilities that surround us. Life has lost its flavor for so many because they get caught up in these societal messages, pulling at us, demanding our time and attention. I am right there with you all. I am not saying not to want more, be more, live more. But we need to Wake Up. There are GREAT moments, extraordinary people, thriving situations just waiting for us, within our everyday lives... in front of us, to both sides, behind us and within us. We need to look for these miracles that ARE there and not get caught up in the craziness this world has to offer, constantly trying to throw complexities at us. Simplify, look around and enjoy the simple things in life.. the smile of a stranger or a friend, the opportunity to hug someone, taking long walks in quiet places, playing catch with your kid, asking someone else about them and listening. How will you re-divert your attention this week?
Get Inspired to MAKE it a GREAT Week.

YOUR MONDAY INSPIRATION!
"I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization WORKS if you work hard. That's the thing, you can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich."
Jim Carrey

Happy Monday. I did not use the word 'Dream' although I love that word and we should always dream.. don't stop dreaming. However, it is overused and some people don't take it as a serious word, but rather they discount it for several reasons. So, VISUALIZE! Such a powerful tool that our mind has and allows us to do. The question is.. do we truly utilize this tool (just before competing, or a presentation, or speaking to someone)? Do we take the time... the few minutes, to close our eyes and visualize how we want our body to look like, or what outcome we want, or how we want the conversation to go. But here is the tougher question and I know, it will cut deep with you.. but aside from visualizing, are you PUTTING IN THE WORK OR EFFORT to make the visualization a reality? Ouch.. I know. You see, we have to put in the work to manifest that which we are visualizing or.. "dreaming about". Try it, make a daily/weekly practice of it.. be vigilant about putting in the work and visualizing what that work/effort will bring you and how will you feel afterwards. Get Inspired to make it a GREAT Week. .. and share comments .. any visualization happening for you? ... See MoreSee Less

Your Monday Inspiration...
"Every day I like to wak up and remind myself to be grateful for the simple things."
Miranda Kerr

Happy Monday. Everyday. Not just some days, or this week because Thanksgiving.. but Everyday wake up and REMIND yourself to be thankful for the little things. And what are those little things? Do you give those little things much thought each day? Everyday.. the little things! By no means do I ever want to come across as not being sensitive to those that are sick, suffer from illness and disease, have lost loved ones or the many other reasons that may lead people to lose faith, hope or gratitude. But we can only forge ahead and work on the mindset to make it through life's challenges. So, I will always say.. keep the Faith, always have Hope and be Grateful for the good things in life, many of them being little things. The last several weeks, especially, here in So Cal there has been so much tragedy and devastation that will lead many to just be grateful for what they do have, cherish the little things and don't complain. Together, let's reach out to those in need and send positive thoughts and prayers their way, especially this week! It starts with you, being grateful for the little things and sharing with others. Get Inspired to make it a GREAT Week and Happy Thanksgiving. ... See MoreSee Less

Gravel crunches under your tires as you travel up the drive. Old oaks and elms cast long shadows on a tin roof. Texas limestone shapes a two-story-tall chimney.
