Everyone is a GENIUS! 

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree 

it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.~Einstein.

I SMILE to show those that thought I was weak 

that I am stronger than they knew! 

I SMILE because it says that I am in control of me 

& that is a power that I refuse to give up! 

I SMILE because knowing ALL THAT 

does in fact give me PEACE 

and make me HAPPY!"

Wednesday's Inpsiration 09/18/13~ How to be OPEN MINDED

Have you ever made an ASSUMPTION about someone 

based on their looks, lifestyle, facebook page 

or opinions of others? 

We are all guilty of this to some extent. 

To ASSUME is to LIMIT THE MIND 

to one way of viewing, 

when by nature our perceptions should be INFINITE!

 In today's times it seems assumptions 

are the lazy way out while 

CONVERSATIONS actually answer questions. 

Today, BE BRAVE! 

ASK QUESTIONS! 

COMMUNICATE with others!! 

Open your mind to the INFINITE POSSIBILITIES of life!!

even when it's difficult, 

that we prevail! 

Did you know that when a storm comes, 

all other birds seek shelter 

expect for the Eagle!

by flying above it! T

oday RISE ABOVE your situation 

and realize YOU were created to SHINE!

Tuesday's Inspiration 09/10/13~ How to HELP OTHERS

HELPING OTHERS when they are in need 

isn't always easy to see. 

For example, 

when another person makes you suffer, 

it is because they suffer so deeply within themselves 

that their pain is spilling over. 

They do not need punishment, 

they need HELP! 

We never know the battles others are fighting 

and it not our job to judge. 

GOOD PEOPLE 

bring out the GOOD 

in other people! 

God has not called us to see through each other 

but to see each other through!

Monday's Inspiration 09/09/13~ The SECRET to SUCCESS!

The path to a HAPPY LIFE is 

led by setting and reaching GOALS! 

Without clearly defined goals in our life 

we end up being strangely loyal to performing 

daily acts of trivia. 

The secret to achieving GOALS 

is MENTAL CONDITIONING! 

Write your goals down and 

review them a few times a day! 

Because WHAT EVER we consistently think about and focus on, 

we move TOWARD! 

Why not make that your GOALS! 

Hope everyone has a MOTIVATED MONDAY!!

Sunday's Inspiration 09/08/13~ How to find PEACE

PEACE can not be found by force, 

it only comes thru understanding! 

Staying in PEACE is about standing in the middle of storm 

without letting a storm stir inside you!

but it is taken one step at a time! 

Make it a PEACEFUL & BLESSED Sunday!

GOOD friends are like stars! 

You don't always see them 

but you know they are always there! 

GREAT friends are hard to find, 

difficult to leave 

and impossible to forget! 

A BEST friend isn't someone who's just always there for you. 

It's someone who understand you 

a bit more than you understand yourself!! 

Either way, 

FRIENDS are the FAMILY we CHOOSE!! 

They lift our hearts, 

calm our fears and 

ENCOURAGE us to SHINE!! 

And the best way to get a friend, 

is to BE ONE!!

Friday's Inspiration 09/06/13~ The TRUTH about OPTIMISM

OPTIMISM is essential to achievement

there IS something GOOD in EVERY day!! 

So find it,

Tuesday's Inspiration 09/03/13~ Your SUCCESS is UP TO YOU!!

Sunday's Inspiration 09/01/13~ Worry less about others!

"MIND your own business, 

take care of your own affairs, 

and don't worry about other people so much"~ Betty White. 

Worrying is like praying 

for something you don't want! 

When you find yourself in place between 

"making others happy" and 

"ignoring your own needs" 

you become the resentful doormat! 

You would worry less about what others thought of you 

if you REALLY knew how seldom they actually did! 

Take time today to 

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!! 

Because happy people do good 

while unhappy people do evil!
