Purposely

Who doesn’t want to experience the best part of life?  It comes by what we give, not what we receive, and comes by what we give purposely.

We are kind and generous on purpose.  Some days it is harder than others, but that’s where the on purpose comes into play.

Being kind may simply be not being mean to someone.  Not gossipping or talking badly about them can be a way that you are kind, or stopping those who are.

Today, live life on purpose, and for the purpose of giving kindness and generosity to those that you come in contact with.

I’m cheering for you.

Gratitude

How was your week?  Would today be a good day to try and be grateful?

Grateful is defined as appreciative of benefits received; affording pleasure or contentment.  Couldn’t we stand to be reminded to be grateful from time to time?
Some days being grateful is really hard to do. 

When I feel like I am in a rut or my mood gets a bit down I like to remind myself to be grateful.  To see the world through a different lens.  A lens of gratitude.

How do I like to do that?  My favorite thing to do is to go to the camera roll on my phone and scroll through my pictures and I am reminded of the moments, memories and good times. 

I may even pair that with a gratitude walk to get a change of scenery and some fresh air.  My mood changes and I am reminded that I  have much to be grateful for. 

I then mentally or physically write down at least three things I am grateful for as a reminder to live and lead with a thankful heart.

If you ever feel like you need to adjust your attitude or perspective I would encourage you take a gratitude break.  It will help you live with appreciation, pleasure and contentment.

I’m cheering for you.

Words Matter

Words Matter!  Your words matter.  You have the incredible opportunity to build people up every day in every interaction you have.

You don’t have to have a title to speak respectfully to someone.  You don’t have to take a three week course to learn how to do it.

I believe we all have it inside of us.  The ability to make a positive impact on those around us.

It’s a matter of choice.  Don’t let outside influences or a negative situation make you forget that words matter.

The most important decision you make today will be to speak positively and respectfully to those around you.

This is the first step in making a difference in the world around you.  Everyone’s world could use someone to help make a difference with a kind word.  Let that be you today.

I’m cheering for you.

February Check-Up

It’s February 1st.  How are you doing?  I mean really.  How are you doing working toward the goals you set for 2023?

Did you select your “One Word”?  How is that going?  A month ago I encouraged you to take charge of your 2023?  Are you? 

If you’re like me there has been progress, but it hasn’t always been perfect.  That’s alright, it’s a journey.  Remember, slow progress is better than no progress.

Today, maybe you need to reset your commitment to your goals, or your One Word.  Do that.  Continue to take charge. 

Remember this quote from John Maxwell?  “Most people simply accept their lives – they don’t lead them.”

If you didn’t like your progress in January you don’t have to accept it.  You can make your February better.  One day at a time.  Get a little win every day.

I’m cheering for you.
