Don't be lazy. You will regret it.

This is my dads dog being lazy.. Very Lazy

Don't be lazy.Timing is very important and our time even more so.It's the number one thing that we tend to waste. Often we put off doing things that we eventually have to do anyways.Acting early is much more effective than waiting until the last minute. And deffinatly more effective than waiting until it's to late.Its frustrating to get behind and always playing catch up. Besides it wears us out. Are you wore out from always working from behind. Well you can change that by working ahead. Get ahead and try to stay ahead. Procrastination is an exhausting way to live. It might seem at first that by prcrastinating that your saving energy but your accually not your going to have to do it anyways so just do. Take control of your life and get it done. Timing is accually more important than the effort put forth. Once done you can use that energy to move to the next task that needs doing.You will be thankful you did. Well were almost to hump day.I am pleased to say that I have my dates set and will be heading to California at the end of the month. Looking forward to seeing friends and family and going on a road trip.Have to get our hunting stuff ready as hunting season is moving upon us fast.Going to move my GTO into the barn before winter.So looks like I better stop procrastinating and get busy. Don't forget to forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollably, Smile always. To all a blessed Tuesday
I miss you Joanna, Hope all is ok in the UK. Call me soon and get your butt back to CO.
God Bless

Dealing with pain and misfortune.

Clouds last night before the Monsoon hit. What a storm

Well we all have our share of pain and misfortune. Last week I was dealing with the pain of a wisdom tooth and infection. Over the past year I have had my share of heart ache, Confusion and so on. Pain comes in many different forms and just like everythimg else in life it's how you choose to deal with the pain that makes you the person that you are. It's like all the other road blocks in the road of life. Some choose to make it worse and or wallow in the pain making it last longer. Some choose to make the best of it and don't waste it.
I know sounds kind of crazy but it's true. Don't be so quick to throw out the pain and just rid of it.
Listen to the pain and find out what the root of it's source is. Trust me there is always a source.Often the root of the problem warrants a change in your life.For instance lets say your having money problems. Well perhaps a budget. Learning to not over spend might be a root of this pain and by choosing a few smart options you can stop the pain quickly.Next learn from your pain.Listen to it make the necesary adjustments to minimize it or aliminate it. If you don't choose this step then you have no one to blame but yourself.Last reference the pain.I don’t know about you, but I hate pain so much that I’m willing to do whatever I need to so that I avoid experiencing it unnecessarily. Therefore, in my mind, I file away every painful experience. I pull out painful memories when I need motivation or inspiration to perform a task or chore that I don’t necessarily want to do, but have to. There are benifits to the pain believe it or not its all how you choose to deal with it. I love the following pain quote: “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” ~ Unknown. Im sorry I don't know the author of that quote but its a good one. So to all a great Tuesday. Rememer don't sweat the small stuff and choose to turn the big problems in to small ones. Don't forget to forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollaby and never regret one moment even if your in pain. There is value to be found in every moment.
and most of all remember to smile. Even if not happy it will keep others wondering.Thanks for calling me last night Joanna.You brightened my day and night as always dear.
God Bless

Choose to step forward and not backwards.

Our camp this weekend on the Gunnison River in the Black Canyon. This old tree was amazing.

Ok I want to clear something up for my friends and family that read my blog. I have been told by one that these are not my words. At first I was told that I am cutting and pasting other peoples thoughts. Then I was told that its 65% my own word. Then I was told that it's 99%. my words. So I thought if one person is thinking this perhaps others too are wondering. So here it is. I am working on publishing my blogs. I have been doing design work and building websites for almost 10 years. I would never try to publish someone elses work. You will do nothing but cause yourself problems. However I do not claim to be a famed wrighter or anything like that. In fact you probably noticed I am not that great in spelling and I just let my fingers type and don't get to worried with the spelling. Thats another thing that makes it mine. I can tell you that it will be spell checked before publishing. LOL... When I wake up in the morning I have many thoughts going through my mind. I often read a religious quote page that is 1 sentence longI read a prayer book too.I also read other religions to see how they comnpare. It inspires me to wright and gets me going. There are many famous actors,wrighters,directors etc that are inspired and motivated by others words. Once my mind starts moving I type away. I would like to know if anybody sees anything wrong with this? I also will make it very clear that when I do cut and paste a thought I will be sure to credit the author for there quote. As well as use the "" signs. Often it's a famous person that has passed away. These blogs are my thoughts and the way I percieve life. My true friends that no me no that I have many words. Not always right but have many. I often never open up to most of my friends the way I seem to be able to open up on this blog. I find it refreshing. So please feel free to comment below on your thoughts. For now I will move on...

Choose to step forward and not backwards. Every step forward is leading your life in the right direction. Every step backwards is a stall of foward momentum.However don't be discouraged with the stall. We will all have these times and what makes us drive forward is how we handle the stall. If you choose to let it be just a stall your are accually working on moving foward. If you dwell on the stall you will accually be moving in the wrong direction. This is non productive and creates more problems for you and others around you. Don't let a negative person slow you down. Often there is some negative person always there waiting to assist in your backwards steps.But when your moving forward in the right direction often you will not hear from this negative person. It's real easy for a negative person to assist in moving you back. It's not as easy for a negative person to change there thoughts and be happy for your forward progress. So if you can distance yourself from this type of person. Or perhaps you can use your positive energy to move this person in the right direction. Remember to stay positive and choose to move forward. (I don't know who said this but I got in in an email and I use it daily) " Remember to don't sweat the small stuff, Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive quickly and never regret one moment or anything that makes you smile"  I also read a prayer book daily and will start including it in the blog. Of course will reference that it's not my words.
(from book) Do not focus on your problems.It's not your war to fight. "Do not be affaid,Do not be discouaged by this mighty army for the battle is not yours but Gods. Chronicles 20.15  .   To all a great Tuesday have a safe and fun one. My dear Joanna thanks for the emails and encouragement to contine to do what I love. See you soon hun..
God Bless

A full time Job.

A goose landing on our lake.

I don't know if you have been informed but life is a full time job. Don't take one minute for granted.God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. I suggest that you use the time given wisely. I would say use one of the seconds to thank him. Use another to thank the ones that are in your life.Choose to use the leftover minutes to improve your well being and others around you.
If you quit before the work is completed, the work you’ve done is wasted. Honor the time and effort you’ve already put into it by finishing what you started. If you plant a seed, and water it just for a few days, and then stop, you might as well have never planted it. Remember to direct your focus again and again toward those things you’re committed to completing. Being inspired for a few minutes or for a day or two feels good. Being inspired for a lifetime is what actually achieves good  results. Then remind yourself again, and again, on every day, in each new situation. Then commit yourself to staying connected. Don’t settle for just a few moments here and there of brilliance.Choose to make every second count. Make life’s richness a full-time thing.Life is a full time job and if you quit early your boss will not be happy with you.Put in a little extra effort today. Tell a loved one that you love them. Tell an stranger or enemy that you care.Then take the gift of time to move your life forward and reap the rewards. Remember to never regret a second, Break the rules once in a while,Laugh uncontrollably,and forgive quickly. To all a blessed Sunday. Have fun and be save.
God Bless

Life might let you down.But don't let yourself down.

I took this picture last night as I was watering the garden. The clouds were amazing.
and yet another beautiful sunset.

Just because life has let you down doesn’t mean that you must let yourself down. Pick yourself up, quickly take a positive step, and know that you’re closer to reaching your goal than you’ve ever been before.You’ve been through some of the hard part and already experienced some of the difficulty you must go through. So keep going, and make that experience count.Change your approach if that’s what is called for. Learn from where you’ve been, adapt and adjust your efforts to be even more effective.Every day, every encounter, and every outcome is a new opportunity to move yourself forward.Learn from your mistakes.Never regret anything and never let yourself down. Keep yourself focused on the goal .The disappointments are just as much a part of the process as the victories. Be truly thankful for it all, and in your gratitude you’ll find a way to put it all to positive use.Whatever has happened is a perfect reason to keep going.You know the old saying that everything happens for a reason.Often we don't understand why and I don't think we are supposed always understand it.Just keep moving and keep on smiling.Be patient. Good things will come if your are. I am being tested now and everyday with patience.It's one of the hardest things for me to concour.But I will prevail and I will be rewarded for it. Don't take everything so serious all the time and life will be much easier. Smile always,Remember to break the rules now and then,Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive quickly, and never take for granted one moment of you time or anybody elses.Choose your friends wisely and remember you have to first be a friend to have a friend.I lost a friend because we did not work out together in a relationship so this person did not want to be friends and thats just sad. Seems like if you loose a friend you gain a friend. To all my friends that know me. Once you win my friendship you will always be my friend and will give the shirt off my back unless you burn me.Good Morning to my dear friend Joanna Keener I woke up with a smile today thank you very much. Hope all is well in the UK. See you soon hun. To all a blessed weekend, Have fun and be safe. Good Luck to my racing buddies.
God Bless

Choose to make this day a positive one

Picture taken by me last night at Main In Motion.What a great night. Lots of people and a good time.

Choose to make this day a positive one.
If your life could use some positive momentum, make some. Make the choice and take the action that will bring some real, new, positive value to this day.You don’t have to wait for things to get better. Because you can take it upon yourself to be better.It doesn’t matter what else might be going on.It doesn't matter what others say or think.Choose to turn everything into a positive. Just one  positive action can change your day.It all starts by thinking positive. Think of how much more effective you’ll be with some positive momentum on your side, then get busy and do something to put it there.You are never at the mercy of  circumstance. You can transform any circumstance, any situation, any event by virtue of how you choose to see it and to live it.Take this day and live it in the best way you can imagine.Think outside the box.Open up your eyes,mind and heart today.Choose to think positive. Great rewards will come I promise.
If we could regard the events of our lives with more open minds,we would frequently discover
that we did not really desire the things we failed to obtain.Take on one of your worst fears today.Change that fear into a positive thought and just do it. Concur it. Head it off at the pass. Remember to never regret one monment. Remember to Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive quickly. and never regret anything or anyone that makes you smile. To all a great Positive Friday. Be safe and have fun. Prayers and wishes go out to my dear friend in Croydon UK. Come home soon Joanna, I miss you. xoxoxoxo.

Everything is not easy.

Another beautiful Sunset on our lake.

I think easy is overrated. Though easy is nice and convenient, it is not essential.As we take this walk through life we often see that everything is not easy.Well it's not supposed to be easy.If everything was easy there would be no value in life and everything would be taken for granted and wasted.
Many good, valuable and worthwhile things are not easy. Unfortunately, perfectly acceptable options are too often overlooked simply because they are not easy. And yet life is very much worth living, and very much worth the trouble and effort it often requires. If you only seek the easiest way, you’ll miss out on the best way. If you avoid what is not easy, you’ll deny yourself and others many lost oppertunities.When you expect everything to be easy, you’ll have to lower your other expectations. Many of life’s greatest treasures are so valuable precisely because they are so difficult to obtain. Go to the trouble, make the effort, and take on the difficult challenges. For out there beyond the comfort of what is easy, you can create may wonderful experiences. If you find yourself always looking for the easy way or the most proper in your mind you are cheating yourself. Today step out and take on a challange.Choose to pick something harder today and see how it works out.If it don't work out so well don't worry you tried your best. If it does work out I gaurantee you will have a smile and be very happy with the rewarding results.You will be glad you did. To all a great Thrusday. Remember to smile always. Never regret any of your decisions and be honest with yourself.
God Bless

Be thankful and have no regrets.

This is one of my favorites. I took this over looking the Carson Valley,Carson City NV.
Last year as the sun was coming up on a drive from CA to CO. This picture was picked
last night by the winner of the raffle at the Elks Lodge in Montrose CO.

Be thankful for this moment as this moment is your life. Have no regrets and hold no grudges.
We choose how we handle the ups and downs. Choose to quickly turn the downs into ups.
Don’t allow the troubles to get the best of you. Instead, allow those troubles to make the best of you.
Don’t tire yourself out fighting against the challenges. Instead, find new energy by embracing those challenges and working through them to create value.Always remind yourself that discouragement is nothing more than a response you’ve chosen. When you find that you’ve chosen to let it be, you can just as surely choose to let it go.In the place of discouragement, you can put determination. It is your life’s energy, and you can point it in whatever direction you choose.Your most powerful response is not based only on what has already happened. Your most powerful response also takes into account what you wish to make happen next.With every action there is a reaction no matter good or bad it's how you play the game that counts the most. Don't let others discourage you and don't sweat the small stuff. Life is so very short and it's much later than we all think.Hold no grudges move on and make this the best Wedensday ever. Remember to break the rules, Leave your security blanket behind and do something different today. Remind a friend or a loved one how much they mean to you.Laugh uncontrollably with some one else. Perhaps even a stranger. Forgive quickly as thats the way god wants it. Most of all never regret anything thats makes you smile and never never give up. To all a great Wedensday. Hump day we made it. Almost there. Keep those smiles going.
God Bless

Don't waste your time complaining.

Picture taken by me last night as the sun sets on our lake.

Don't waste your time complaining about the way things should be or the way you think they should be.
Don’t waste your time complaining about what brings you down. Instead, get yourself away from it in whatever way you can.If you’re in a negative pattern, break the pattern by establishing a new, more meaningful, positive one.This might be the Break the rules once in a while thing that I am always talking about. Doing what you’ve always done will continue to get you what you’ve always gotten, and to get a change you must make a change.If you feel like your stuck in a rut then now is the time to make a change.Only you have the power to do this and its never to late to make a change.
Reach inside  yourself with what you truly care about. Your authentic purpose is far more important than keeping up old habits.Us humans hate change but most often its the best decision you can make.This is your life and this is your opportunity to do something positive about it. You are far more powerful than you’ve allowed yourself to be.Though a change of focus will initially be frightening and uncomfortable, you will soon feel you’re right where you belong.Dream as if you'll live for ever and live as if you'll die today. Each of us has been put here on earth to do something well.However we cheat ourself and others when we don't use that ability the best we can. Start today right now. Make this Tuesday the best Tuesday ever. Remember to break the rules, Break your pattern, Change the road and move past the rut. Laugh Uncontrollably if for any reason it makes others wonder. Forgive quickly because thats what the lord wants from us.Never regret any moment and this is possable by doing your best even when things don't work out as planned. Have a great day and keep that smile going. Bless our friends in the UK. Hang in there Joanna, Your going to make it hun. See you soon.

Don't let others slow your progress down.

Picture taken by my niece Brianna Pierson yesterday at burney falls in CA.

Don't let others slow down your progress. Distance yourself from all negative activity. Other people and things can stop you temporarily. You're the only one who can do it permanently.Often things in life will not seem fair. Often a hater will cross your path. It's all a test from the man upstairs.Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and contiune your foward direction.Don't settle for just getting by either.
Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real life experiences. A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are here to achieve much higher expectations.
Yes indeed, you will most certainly encounter a whole lot of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are  equipped to thrive on those challenges.You just have to set your mind to it and succeed. Just do it.And if you fail the first time try try try again. Never give up.
If life seems unfulfilling, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.
This is your  unique life, and it is  worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself focused on a purpose. Your very own pathway to fulfillment is just one quick step away. Leave the haters behind and continue forward.
I have a dear friend Joanna in the UK right now and has gone through alot with the haters there. The riots,looting and all. She has lost everything. Her art work and all. I know she will make it. Joanna just put one foot in front of the other and leave those haters behind. God bless you. Remember to break the rules,forgive quickly,Never regret anything that makes you smile. And Never,Never,Never give up.And as stated last week I have opened up my blog for comments.
Happy Monday everyone have a Blessed Day.

Loose the Ego. Live Life

A beautiful day in Ridgeway CO. Im going back today there is an arts and crafts festival in the park with over 150 vendors. Im going to see if I can sell some of my pictures.

Release your limitless imagination from your limited ego. And allow the achievement of whatever you envision.It is your ego that creates doubt. It is your ego that manufactures excuses.It is your ego that gets in the way everytime. Don't listen to your ego put it a side from time to time and live life to its fullest.
Your ego holds your imagination back, and prevents you from achieving the fulfillment you truly desire. Yet you can choose, with love and positive intention, to let go of that confining, limiting ego.
Stop weighing yourself down with judgments about what you think you need.Judgements about others and the way they live. You have a whole beautiful, limitless imagination with which you can envision and fulfill what you truly desire.Who you really are is infinitely more valuable than anyone you could ever pretend to be. Allow authenticity to direct and inform your words, your actions, your priorities and your goals.This is only possable by loosing the ego. Then stand up, step forward, and begin to truly live that vision. Happy Sunday everybody. Remember to break the rules once in a while,Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive quickly,and never regret anything or anyone that makes you smile.Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,And sometimes your smile is the source of your joy. God bless our friends in the UK and our soldiers in uniform fighting for our freedom.

Change for nobody except for yourself

Sunset on our lake last night.
 
Choose to change for nobody.Only change for yourself.If you find yourself always changing for others you are not living life for you. Life is to short to not live for you.
Do you ever find that you are merely trying and not really doing? If so, you’re not being who you truly are.
You don’t have to try to be yourself.Make others understand that they have to except you for who you are.After all it's the way god made you.Life is all about give and take.Except others and they will except you in return Being yourself is where you’ll be most effective.
There is no power, only conflict, in trying to be someone or something you’re not. Instead of fighting against yourself, use your energy to more fully be yourself. What you step forward and do, without hesitation, without excuses and with great enthusiasm, is where you’ll create the most  value.Yes, by all means make the difficult, challenging, complicated and effective efforts. Go beyond the meaningless trying and fill your life with meaningful doing.In other words dont try. Just do it. Do what comes natural and life will be filled with meaningful experiences. Life will always have it's ups and downs. Take it for what it is and except it. Keep your head up and continue to move forward. Nobody can move you forward but you. But everybody else can slow the forward momentum and move you backwards. Life is to short to move backwards.If you find yourself always in a conflit with others then perhaps it's time to make a change. Not for others but for yourself. Perhaps your not excepting others for who they are or perhaps your not excepting yourself. Try to always love and not hate. There is so much hate in the world we live in that it's easy to fall into that catagory. Remember to break the rules now and then. Forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollably,Love always and never regret anything or anyone that makes you laugh.
God bless our soldiers in uniform. Prayers to the haters and our friends in the UK. dealing with the riots and looting. To all a great weekend. Next week I am going to open my blogs for comments. Feel free to post comments.

Life Owes Us Nothing.We Must Choose to Fulfill

Picture Taken by my yesterday as we fished the San Miguel River.
 
If you think Life Owes you something you are setting yourself up for dissapointment.
Life surrounds us and you must except what it is. It is a great blessing and a profound responsibility.
You have at your fingertips the value that is life and its endless possibilities. It is up to you to make meaningful use of it. No person, no possession, no position can give you fulfillment. That will come only from the way you choose to live. Life owes you nothing because life already gives you everything.Through focus, your priorities and your efforts, are the only way you can achieve fulfillment. To hope that someone will do it all for you is to deny yourself the truth of being you. You are absolutely worth the effort of fulfillment, so find joy in making that effort. The challenges are many, and yet the possibilities are endless. Make the commitment, make the effort, and live life at its highest, most fulfilling level. Remember Lifes is short and it's never to late to start. So start today. Break the rules now and then,Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive Quickly,and never regret anything or anyone that makes you smile.
Had a great day yesterday.Decided to take a break from the work and go fishing in the San Miguel River.It was hot but do to the water level we could pretty much walk right down the middle of the river in most spots. The 3 of us caught more than 30 fish and had a great day. To all a great Friday. God bless our troops in the millitary that protects our freedom. God bless our friends in the UK. that our subject to endless riots and looting.Remembe choose to fulfill. Choose to not sweat the small stuff and turn the big stuff into small stuff.
God Bless

Only worry about what you have control over.

(Picture taken by me near Blue Mesa,Colorado)

Only worry about what you have conrol over.Don't wast your time on things you have no say in.
If you depend on some particular thing, or person, or situation for your happiness and fulfillment, you’re setting yourself up for problems and dissapointments. When you depend on what you cannot control, you open the door to fear, anxiety, disappointment and other negative experiences.
However, the world outside of you can indeed provide your life with great richness.Don't misunderstand as friends are a great thing to have and one can't have enough good friends. So although you don’t want to be dependent on it, you don’t want to ignore it either.The best way to end dependence is with acceptance. Instead of depending on what you cannot control, peacefully accept lifes ups and downs in whatever comes your way.By choosing to accept life as it is, you can benefit from your experiences without being imprisoned by dependence. Acceptance puts you in control of your own happiness and direction.Acceptance frees you to enjoy each moment for what it is, without being burdened by worries about what might or might not come next. Acceptance enables you to be more responsible and effective in following your own path to fulfillment.
Accept life in all its many forms, and gently let go of the dependence that would bring you down. End your dependence, and free yourself to live. Life is to short to sweat the small stuff. Remember to break the rules now in then,laugh uncontrollaby, Forgive quickly, And never regret anything that makes you smile. Keep smiling friends.I am so thankfull to be where I am today. I have made it by excepting life for what it is and concentrating on what I can controll. Then throw in the great friends and family I have I am so blessed. Happy Wed, Yes Hump day is here. We made it. To all a great day. My blog and pictures are on there way to being  published. I also am working on a new website that will have my new business,Rocky Mountain Designs.Designs,Business Cards, Websites Pictures, blogs and Printing.Thanks to Montrose Printing Center for giving me the inspiration to make this happen. Look for the publication in  resturants,Hotels,Airports,and Hospitals  soon. You will also be able to sign up. Of course for free to have the daily blog delivered to you inbox daily. Thank you to my friends and family too. :)

Don't be a hater,Make yourself usefull to yourself and others

Don't be a hater.When someone says something you don't like or agree with especially if its hatefull turn and look the other direction. By acting on hateful words you are being sucked into being a hater yourself. Instead turn that negative energy into possitive energy.Make use of the time being wasted on negativity.
If you want to feel more positive, more empowered, more confident and encouraged, then be usefull. Making a difference for others makes a big difference for you. What’s a powerful way to maintain an authentic positive outlook? It’s by getting busy and making a positive difference in life. When you feel useful, everything feels better. When your awareness is wrapped around making a difference, there’s no room for frustration, anxiety or resentment. Being genuinely useful brings out the best in you. Making a positive contribution gives you a more positive perspective.Believe it or not the haters in the world are doing the same thing but the only way they no how with negativity.Don't bother your self or waste time on what others are doing especially if you disagree with what they are doing.It's there life and they can do what they please.This is why we live in USA. So don't get trapped being a hater. Many of your most powerful desires stem from a deep, underlying desire to know that your life matters. Being truly useful is a great way to satisfy that fundamental desire. Make yourself useful. And make your world a more fulfilling place.The haters just haven't learned how to do this so they continue on. So sad in deed. Learn to love and value your time and turn it into possitive energy insead of sweating the small stuff. It all starts witha  smile. Life is short,remember to break the rules,Forgive quickly,and never regret anything that has made you smile. To all a blessed Tuesday.
God Bless our troops in uniform and there fanmilies. Also I have a dear friend in the UK. Dealing with the riots and looting.Her art work has been destroyed and it's just not fair. Thank god your ok. Prayers to you all.Prayers to the haters too as they need the as well.
To all a good Tuesday,
Jason

A new day to fly high. A new day to achieve your goals.

(Picture taken by me this weekend at the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival)
 
Today is a new day to achieve your goals.Today is the day to obtain greatness.A new day to fly high.
You’ve been disappointed, and fallen short of the mark. But that was yesterday, and this is today.
Perhaps you weren’t as effective as you could have been, and didn’t discipline yourself as much as you could have done. But that was yesterday, and this is a new day.We must move on and stop living in the past.Every shortcoming and every disappointment is now in your past. Though their effects may linger for a while, now is your opportunity to start moving beyond them.You’ve learned some painful, yet valuable lessons. Now you can put those lessons to positive use.This is a new day, with opportunities for you to act in new, more meaningful and effective ways. This is when you can work to transform your past experience. Embrace this day. For now you are free to create more good and meaningful substance in your world and others.Move forward remembering the right and wrong decisions you might of made. Use those moments to propell you forward. It might seem so far away but it's accually at your finger tips. Right there just reach out and grab it. Remember to choose to make big problems small and don't sweat the small stuff.
What an awsome weekend at the 20th Olathe Sweet Corn Festival. Great people in a small town enviroment came alive with almost 20,000 people.Almost 100,000 ears of corn given out over the two day event.Nearly 800 Volunteers worked to put on a show and a millitary salute that was out of this world. Country Singer Aaron Tippin was a class act and building a bike on stage as he sang in under 3 minutes was amazing. Then to donate to the Local Toys For Tots shows his true spirit.
God Bless our Millitary and there family's that are protecting our freedom as it has been a rough few days oversees. Never take anything for granted. Break the rules now and then,Forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollably,and never regret the things that make you laugh. To all a great Monday.
God Bless

Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is Happiness

If you had no limitations, what would you choose to achieve? If you could get up from where you are right now and go to do literally anything, what exactly would it be? You instinctively know there are things that matter to you more than anything else. It’s important to remind yourself specifically of what they are.
You may not be able to fully achieve them in your life at this time. But you can take the right actions today to move your life in the direction of your goals. With every choice, with each decision,your are one step closer. Know clearly where you want to go, and even the little moments will bring you closer.Don't let lifes ups and downs side track you. Don't let anybody tell you you can't or that's not proper or right for you. 
Your life is a continuing manifestation of your desires. So focus on the intentions that you most sincerely and passionately desire.Doing what you like in life is freedom. Liking what you do no matter what the outcome is Happiness.Life is so very short as we know it so remember to never give up and keep on moving in the direction that meets your needs. Always remember to break the rules once in awhile. Forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret the things that make you smile. To all a great weekend. It's going to be a Sunny,and warm 93 deg. Day here in western Colorado. Have to soak the garden then Im off with my dad to the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival for a day in the sun and corn eating.

Don't stress if Life isn't what you think it should be.

Dont stress if life isn't working out the way you vision it. Perhaps god has another idea of the way life should be for you. Perhaps your way is not the right way.Perhaps you should adjust your way of thinking to better suit what he has given you.Let it go relax and enjoy what he gives you. Hold yourself to a high standard, yet don’t be so critical of yourself that you never get anything done. What you do is worthy and valuable even though it may not be perfect.
Seek to stay focused, but don’t beat yourself up when you happen to lose your focus, for that will merely prolong the interruption. Simply let the lapse go, and let your focus calmly and confidently return.
Be honest with yourself about your shortcomings, and work to gain strength in the areas where you are weak. Remind yourself often, though, that you are worthy of the best no matter what your strengths and weaknesses may be.Live with intention and positive ambition, but not with obsession.Obsession will stress you out and will only lead to more misfortune when things aren't the way that you vision them. Make achievement a joy rather than a job.
The less you fight against life, the more effective you’ll be. Peacefully and thankfully enjoy where you are and what you have been given.You are here to do great things, and in your own way, you surely will. Let your dreams inspire you, let your efforts flow, and let the results come as they will. Perhaps he has a different plan for you than the way it is. If you find yourself always stressed out about life worring about the way things should be in your mind instead of the way things are you are wasting much energy. Go with the flow. Enjoy it even if you disagress with it and things will happen more in your favor. Life is way to short to stress all the time and or sweat the small stuff. Don't forget to break the rules once in awhile. Even if there your own rules.Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive Quickly, and never regret anything that makes you smile. It's friday hope everybody has a wonderful weekend. I am looking forward to this weekend. I am going to the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival with my Dad. There will be all the corn you can eat for free. Cooked every possable way. Over 150 vendors. Live music all day. Theme will be a salute to our millitary so there will be fly overs all day by the airforce and national guard. Country Singer Aaron Tippin plays at 9:00 pm followed by a fireworks show. Everyone come on out if your in the Montrose CO, area tickets at the gate are 15.00 or stop by any City Market for discounted tickets. To all a great weekend.
God Bless

Opportunity Knocks for self pitty

If you discover that your feeling sorry for yourself you’ve discovered a valuable opportunity. You can transform the negative energy of self-pity into positive energy to improve your situation.
When you’ve been disappointed by life, take a step back and look at the positive value in that disappointment. You now have a reason to become more determined than ever before.
Life has its ups and its downs. And you can choose to benefit from both.
Success is not a matter of having everything go your way. Success comes from choosing to find the value in whatever way things go.
Don’t waste your time and energy making judgments about whether you’re having a good day or a bad day. Decide to take whatever comes and make it into an empowered day.
Whatever form it takes, life is always supplying you with the raw material for fulfillment. Make good use of it all to move your life surely and steadily in the direction of your dreams.The hardest two things in life is dealing with success and failure. The ups and downs of life often side track us and lull us into a state of dispare.Don't let this happen.Choose to turn the downs into ups. Choose to turn the big things into small things. Remember don't sweat the small stuff. There is always someone way worse off than you. Here is something to keep in mind we all knew that the 4 years of Obama's presidency would seem like forever. And it has. But smile it's almost over.Remember to Break the rules from time to time. Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive quickly and never regret anything or anyone that has made you smile. To all have a wonderfull Thursday. The weekend is almost here. God Bless

There must be effort.

There must be effort to have a chance on acomplishing your goals You must go through the process. Yes, the result is very important, yet without effort there is not going to be a result.
Focus on what you desire to create. And then with your focus firmly fixed, get busy and make the effort.
Working through that process is what makes the achievement worth having.
The dreams and goals set the direction. And then it is the effort that makes it all happen.
Effort is what makes the difference. And that is what makes effort such a substantive and authentic joy.
Welcome the process, welcome the effort, and welcome the price that is paid with your action. By paying that price you receive value that can never be taken away.Don't let the haters in life beat you down.Don't let anyone interfer with what you have set out to do.If you don't get the results your looking for at first just keep trying. Never, Never,Never give up.Don't sweat the small stuff and choose to make even the big stuff small. Don't dwell on the past. Move on and get busy with the effort. Remember life is so very short and its later than we think. Don't for get to break the rules once in a while, Laugh uncontrollably always, Forgive quickly and never regret what make you smile. Keep those smiles going it's Wedensday... Half way there. To all a good day.
God Bless

Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?

Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?
When you can only do a little, do it. Soon you’ll have the chance to do a little more, and a little more again, until the job is done. When you only have a moment or two, make full use of whatever time you have. Even when you can’t get all of it done, you can get some of it done.
Forget about the time you don’t have, and use the time you do have. Instead of worrying about how you’ll do it all, focus on doing what you can right now. Achievement requires many steps. So take another one each time you can. Don’t waste your time complaining when the interruptions knock you off track. Just get yourself beyond them and get quickly back to work. Do what you can, when you can, as often as you can. Your persistent, consistent efforts will surely and steadily take you where you choose to go.Our time is very valuable don't wast it as it is later than we think. Example I had a print job yesterday to copy 52 pages. I had other work to do and had until Thursday to get it done. Something told me to just do it and get it done. I finished it in about 4 hours. Well as soon as I was finished I got 4 more jobs in. If I would of put off that job I would of been overloaded. Do today or attemp to do today and you will reap the rewards of getting it done. Dont forget to Always smile. Break the rules once on a while, Laugh uncontrollably,Never regret anything that makes you smile. To all a blessed Tuesday. Now get out there and just do it.

Maximum Achievement

Taken by me sunset on our lake.

Maximum Achievement is a matter of expressing on the outside our true values that’s on the inside. Every great achievement begins as a vision, guided by purpose, and ends as real facts.
Whatever you  desire, is possable by fulfilling that desire and is a process of bringing it to life in the world around you. Energy is within each achievement. Your job is to put that energy to use.
Take the vision, the ideal, the value that’s inside and show the rest of the world how it looks and what it can do.  Dive deeply into the Achievement that lives within you. Feel the power of it that longs to be expressed, and let that beauty flow out through your actions.
Your greatest achievements are already yours. Act on them and let the whole world experience their value too.It doesn't matter what others think or say it's your expression and it has to be let free. It must be shared with friends and family.This will result in maximum achievement every day and the possabilities are endless. No on can stop you and skys the limit.
Don't sweat the small stuff, smile always and don't let anybody tell you differently. It's later than we all think so today,Break the rules,Forgive quickly,Laugh Uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile. Happy Monday everybody. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to smile. Even if your not happy smile anyways it keeps others wondering.
God Bless
