Stay In Your Lane

I enjoy walking early in the morning around sunrise.  It is very peaceful, the highway traffic is very light, and I get to see quite a few sunrises. 

I snapped this picture the other morning because it reminded me of something I always try to remind myself to do, and I probably want to tell more people than I do to do the same.  I don’t though because I try to stay in my lane. 

I have learned over the years that if I stay in my lane, and mind my own business my life seems to stay as smooth as it possibly can. 

When I, or others, cross over that double yellow line it’s often like driving into oncoming traffic.  Dangerous and nothing much good is going to happen. 

In fact, if I saw a vehicle coming head on at me in my lane I would likely take a quick turn onto a side street and exit the situation.

When someone gets out of their lane, which is likely every day if you work around others, realize when you need to get yourself out of, or exit the situation. 

It is always a good idea to check yourself too.   Make sure you stay in your lane when you can and should.  Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you because there is enough responsibility with doing that. 

I’m cheering for you.

When It Seems Like The World Is Against You

I remember having conversations with kids, mine and others, when they would say “nobody likes me, everyone hates me”.
If we’re being honest we can feel that way at times as adults as well. 

I always try to remind people that using the terms “nobody” and “everyone” is painting with a broad brush and not accurate.  

Let’s cut right to it. 

The whole world is not against you.  Sometimes we give the loudest people too much of our attention and we translate that to an untrue opinion of ourself. 

Do not let the loud ones steal your self worth and joy.  Don’t give it away.  They have no right to it because they are only concerned about their needs and what they want. 

Let me repeat two things today:
1.  The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room.  Don’t listen to their noise.
2.  Each day is filled with choices.  You choose who, and what, you listen too.  You choose what you fill your mind with. 

One person, two people, even three people, do not make up, or reflect the opinion of the entire world. 

Stay in touch with the people that support you, will encourage you, and will lift you up.  I guarantee they will, and may be waiting to do so.   You never have to go it alone.

Make the choice as to what, and who you let into your thoughts and mind today. 

I’m cheering for you.

Time For A Break

We go, go, go.  It seems like things just continue to happen and feels like we can never take a break.

While hard work is a given, what it takes, and is required, taking a planned break is good for us too.

I am taking one for a few days. I look forward to getting away, spending some time in the sun, seeing some old friends, and relaxing.

I believe in the need for small breaks here and there and that they can help us to become better.

There are still ways to get better while taking some time away.  Don’t forget to step back, step away, and catch your breath once in awhile. 

I’ll be back with you soon. 

I’m cheering for you.
