 "Oh, she said, but I'm getting so far behind." There was the self-imposed deadline, several months back, supposed to have been a slam dunk. Preparations for an unforeseen opportunity. Information gleaned, internally filed. Tech changes and glitches that despite best efforts, dragged to a workaround halt. Perseverance. Hours. Weeks gone by. Check up, somehow remembered despite not being written down. Surgery. Family. Then the words: "Life is like a wild tiger. You can either lie down and let it Lay its paw on your head – Or sit on its back and ride it." R I D E T H E W I L D T I G E R You're right where you're supposed to be. Take this one day. Look for the joy. And Ride It.  Photo Credit: CC0 License pexels

How many times do you go through this cycle in your own life? As winter is followed by spring in the northern hemisphere, challenges in our lives are followed by renewal. Wherever you are or whatever you may be going through, stop for a moment. Take notice of the emergence of life that's taking place all around you. In the spirit of the season, may you steadily rise above what tethers you. So you can fully express the beauty, productivity, and creativity of your true Self.  For help in easing your way through stressful life changes, join me on Thursday, April 5, for my free TeleSeminar. Photo credit: pixabay and pexels.com  I first heard the phrase, "Ready, fire, aim" in a seminar. It was about taking action and not being stopped by "analysis paralysis." Often fear can take the guise of over-analyzing and thinking you have to have every exact duck-in-a-row before you can make a decision to move forward. I recently read an article that emphasized making decisions and choices even if you don't yet have all the facts (as if you possibly could). In the long run, having to alter courses is more productive that remaining stuck and not moving at all. It's definitely a balancing act, but a good reminder not to let indecision rob your energy, especially when you have momentum and enthusiasm about making changes in your personal or work life.  For help in moving through change, check out my free upcoming TeleSeminar:  We all have our ups and downs in varying degrees. When (what we describe as) bad things happen, there's a resounding "why?" While that question may never be answered, times of trial and challenge can bring out the best in us – vulnerability that leads to more emotional openness, compassion, kindness, gentleness, support, unity, and sometimes action that propels change. When inner landscapes are irrevocably altered by difficult times in your own life or in the world around you, a choice can be made to broaden your capacity for all of the above.

Hearing the backstories of some of the 2018 Olympians has been amazingly heartwarming. To be reminded of the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" that many have experienced along the way brings a dose of reality to the triumph of the medalist podium. We all have our day-to-day challenges. Sometimes merely getting out of bed and facing the day requires heroic courage and perseverance. This Valentine's Day, don't wait for someone else to acknowledge you. What really matters is that you acknowledge yourself. Remembering to give yourself a symbolic gold medal and bouquet of flowers for what you have and are accomplishing in your life can make all the difference in how you feel about you.

In the spirit of empowering yourself to stay well (or make the best of what is), it brought to mind the following: 1. Sometimes an enforced time-out chair is good, even if it's not fun. 2. Don't try to work on anything important when you're feeling lousy; chances are you'll mess up. 3. Your world can and will survive without you while you take care of yourself. 4. Viruses can live on hard surfaces for 48 hours. 5. They're transported by moisture droplets that come from a sick person through talking, coughing, sneezing. 6. Those viruses can travel up to six feet (yikes!). 7. Wiping down frequently touched items like phones, doorknobs, microwave and refrigerator handles, keyboards, remote controls, etc. with alcohol wipes or disinfectant can help stop viruses from spreading. 8. If you don't already know this one, cough into your sleeve, not your hand. Think about it; you cough into your hand and then touch people, pets, and things, spreading viruses and germs. 9. Avoid touching public keypads in ATMs, checkout lines and gas stations. If you have to, make sure you wash your hands immediately. 10. Note to self: next year, get a flu shot. This Public Service Announcement has been brought to you by(!) Be Well,  Info Source: U.S. CDC (Center for Disease Control) The person who created GM, the gargantuan auto-maker General Motors, was abandoned by his father as a boy and dropped out of high school.  He was ousted by the company he founded twice, and later in life started his own auto-manufacturing company under his own name. He unofficially controlled the stock market for several high-flying years and warned the U.S. President of an impending market collapse. Rather than protect his personal interests by pulling out as his peers did, he kept multi-millions in the stock market to try to soften the impact of the impending crash on the American public. At age 80, he was serving hamburgers to customers in his bowling alley restaurant in Flint, Michigan. Revered in his day, and nearly forgotten in history, he was known throughout his life as being kind, gentle, and a soft-spoken genius supersalesperson. His story brought to mind the following words I've seen on a sign:  From a human perspective, life isn't going to be perfect. It has its ups and downs. Wine aside (as he was known not to drink in his later years), William C., W.C., or Billy Durant as he was most commonly known, rode his life to the fullest. Takeaway: Are you "skidding in" and using your own genius, the gifts you came into this world with? (Yes, you have them.) Info source: Billy Durant, Creator of General Motors, by Lawrence R. Gustin Your comments are welcome!   Einstein is one of the greatest minds of all time. He walked his talk by living simply and humbly. One of his foremost traits was his perseverance that led to his astounding formulas for explaining the nature of the physical universe. Einstein's 3 Rules of Work: 1. Out of clutter find simplicity 2. From discord find harmony 3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity Can you apply these rules in your life?  |
