Pay it forward!

I know that the way we each choose to live our lives daily is a choice we make each morning for ourselves and the people in our daily lives.

I know that my choice to live a more positive and loving life style is not for everyone, but maybe it should be!  Maybe we should all try to be more welcoming and positive.

If more people smiled at stragers, said good morning to their cashier or asked someone in need if they could help them.... maybe, just maybe, the world we live in could become a world over flowing with Love and Compassion.

The world as it is today is brimming with fear and hate.  There are so many things put out there for the shock and awe of the story.  We are taught to fear strangers, for no other reason than that some people are hurtful. Some people.... NOT all people.

I feel like our world is punishing the many because of the actions of the few.  People hate people because of their skin color or who they choose to love, etc.  People fear what they cannot understand and that fear manifests itself as hate.

I think we need to pump more love and acceptance into the world we live in everyday.  Your local neighborhoods, schools, churches, shops, etc.  If we start there and all make a great effort to be less afraid of the man we pass on the street every morning and make an effort to say hello, maybe even ask how they are... that could lead to a world of safety, comfort and compassion.

We've got to dimish these flames of fear and hate and spread the aceptance and love that EVERYONE in this world deserves.  If we can't take responsibility for our part in making the world a better, safer place... then who will?

It's not every man for himself... It is UNITED WE STAND!

Our task as humans is to spread humanity.  Our goal should be to know and love others no matter what.  With the power of the internet it is not hard to spread these messages and reach many people.  If we are willing to start the ball rolling than hopefully others will be compelled to keep it rolling.  We can make a difference in this world, together!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE ONE PERSON AT A TIME... IF WE ALL TRY.

Our Mission Everyday: 

Do something nice for someone in the hopes that they will follow your lead and do the same for someone else; so on and so forth... 

PAY IT FORWARD!

Epic Thought of the Day

Life will inevitably change without your permission.

It is the ability to adapt and the desire to move forward that will allow you to continue on; while still being you.

Be the change you want to see in the world...

It is so easy to judge others, that we sometimes forget to judge ourselves. It is often times easier to point out other people's flaws then to acknowledge our own.

There is no such thing as perfection and we should be glad of that fact! If there were a concrete example of perfection in this world, none of us would measure up and think about what that would do to our self worth.

There are so many other, BIGGER, things going on in the world around us. Death, Sickness, Wars, Homelessness, Starvation, Torture, Hate, Disasters and the list goes on.

Do we really believe that all the little things that irk us daily are more tragic than the actual tragedies that take place on a daily basis around the world?!?!

We are minuscule in the scheme of things. In the population of our planet I am one of BILLIONS. Yes, Billions. My strife is nothing compared to the real life struggles of people far less fortunate around the globe.

So, if love and positivity can spread from person to person and become continuously contagious. Then maybe we could all learn to start leading by example.

Love begets love, just as hate begets hate and if knowledge begets knowledge, then ignorance begets ignorance.

This world, the whole world, could use a lot more love and a lot less hate. A lot more acceptance and a lot less judgment.

Change starts with one person. It starts with me and continues with you.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi

Mornings, UGH!

I am SOOO not a morning person. I always snooze one too many times and make myself behind by just a few minutes. But those few minutes make me perpetually late for EVERYTHING.

Even if it is only by 5 to 10 minutes, I still feel badly. I just hate waking up in the morning... I wonder why that is.

Anyway, since I have been doing so well with the eating habits... still not an ounce of chocolate and I am OK with that... My new challenge is to start forcing myself out of bed when the alarm goes off. I want to be able to eat breakfast at home before leaving for work by the end of next week.

I hate rushing and I hate feeling guilty for arriving late on a regular basis. I will change this bad habit of mine!

I have a busy Friday & Saturday but I plan on taking it easy Sunday and doing some stuff around the house. As long as I get to bed early, I should be well rested to start this on Monday.

Also... Monday is week two weigh in... We'll see if I maintained and/or lost any more weight. I am excited and anxious... but I am being optimistic!

So until next time... Enjoy your weekend!
