There Must Be Change

I took this one last week on my way up to pick up the students at Camp Red Cloud. About 3 hours from Montrose near Lake City Colorado.

There Must Be Change. Us humans have a difficult time excepting change. We get set in our ways and are brains are programmed for repetition.Even the best experiences can get boring if they happen over and over again and again. Our surroundings can feel like a prison if we don't take a break from them.Our life's thrive on change and variety.Being in the same rut no matter how good it might feel can be very tiresome and will get old. The worse thing we can do is fight change. Let change come as it may. Except it with an open mind and use it to your advantage. We often dread the future in fear that what we have now might not last. But how do you know that what is up and coming might be better than what you already have? You don't know unless you except it. Never regret one moment.There must be change in order to succeed. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Limit Your Anger

A beautiful Fall Day near Ridgeway Colorado.

Limit Your Anger. There will be many experiences in life that are out of our control. There will be many things that will cause anger. However the amount of time you choose to hang on to the anger is totally up to you. How you react and the choices you make while being angry will often reflect you and others around you.What we fail to understand is that our anger hurts us more than the others around us.When your focus is on being angry your not much good for anything.When you first feel anger coming on let that be a reminder to quickly let it go.The sooner you let it go the sooner you can move on.Anger can be good in calling your attention that something needs to be changed.But anger itself is not very helpful in making the correct change.So instead of acting out of anger. Stop for one second,take a deep breath and plan your next move. Limit Your Anger,you will be glad you did. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great week.Were almost to the weekend. Woo Hoo

Count Every Blessing

A pond in Ridgeway State Park. I took this picture last week when on a field trip with some students.

Count Every Blessing. Don't take for granted one moment in time.When difficulties come your way be thankful. They are there to put you in a position to learn,grow and become stronger.When you hit your limits be thankful. You just found something that needs improvement.When you make a mistake count this blessing to.Because now you will no exactly what not to do next time.It's easy to be thankful for the good things that come your way. But just think how life would be if you choose to be thankful for the setbacks in the same way.With the same energy and same desire.If things aren't going well right now be thankful that things will turn around. Take everything in stride and don't sweat the small stuff. Don't turn the small stuff into big issues. Count Every Blessing the same and you will be on your way to a much happier life. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone has a great week.

Stick To The Basics

A beautiful Colorado Fall Day.

Stick To The Basics. Achievement is not easy nor will it come quickly every time. Most of the time it will take determination and doing it over and over again and again until your goal is reached.To acquire something worth while will take some time in deed.Winners focus on mastering the basics first rather than chasing every new gimmick that comes along.Often we ignore the basics and everything in between.Then we wonder why we are not where we want to be. You must stay on track and stay focused with a positive outlook and sticking to the basics.Next you must always remind your self three simple words. "Yes I Can". Yes I Can goes a long ways while sticking to the basics. Use these simple fundamentals and you will prevail. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Have Patience

A beautiful fall weekend in the Uncompahgre National Forest.

Have Patience in everything you do.You can greatly increase your odds of making a mistake by being patience.Listen patiently,and you will better understand.Work patiently and your outcome will surely be improved. Patience knocks down anxieties.Patience helps make the right choices the first time. How often do you look back and say "Wish I would of done it this way"? If you would of used a little patience perhaps you would of. The best tool to fight frustration is with patience.With a little patience any goal can be reached.You know the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" So true in deed. Think of a goal that you have accomplished. More than likely it was not easy and did not happen over night. Rest assured you probably used some patience to achieve it. Or perhaps it would of been much easier if you would of used some patience. So step back and take a breath today. Have Patience and you will rise to the top. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday.

Positive World

On a field trip with the students to Ridgeway State Park Friday.Had a great time.

The world will become more positive when you choose to be more positive. Don't sit wishing or hoping that the world will be more positive,your just wasting time. There will always be things in our life's that are negative. But we can choose to focus on the positives.Life is what we make it so make it positive.The things that are out of our control you can choose to except.Choose to make use of them in a positive way.Stop complaining about the bad things and start smiling about the positives.Life is the way we live it. Live it in a positive way and act on your dreams and better things will come your way.Be the best positive example for you and others around you.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. This is my down day. When I say down day I mean relaxing. Logged many hours in the bus this past week.Had a great time. Now watching NASCAR,NHRA and NFL. Also cooking a pork roast in the slow cooker yummi.

Staying Positive

A beautiful day in the park last week.

Staying Positive is easier than you think.Just because life is bringing you down doesn't mean that you have to choose to be down. Choose to stay positive and more positive things will come your way.No matter what your situation is doesn't mean that you have to see it as a burden. Instead stay positive and choose to see it as an opportunity, and it will be just that.If you live in the state that you're stuck in a rut in deed you will be stuck. This is the easy way out but it's just as easy to find a way out of the rut and move forward. If your positive and confident you will in deed move forward.Choose to live with the thought that there's away around every obstacle and you will find a way around.The quality of your life positively reflects the attitude you choose to have.The person you choose to be,the attitude you choose to maintain and the expectations you choose to live with come from you. Not what's going on around you or from any other person or thing.So not matter what happens or has happened choose to stay positive and you'll be on your way to a happier life. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great hump day. A nice rainy day here in Colorado. It's great to get some moisture here.

Don't Worry,Be Happy

Busy Geese I was watching last week down by the lake.

Don't Worry,Be Happy.If you want to be successful choose to be happy. If you want great things to come your way be happy. You can stay in your funk and worry about things or you can keep moving and be happy. Happiness is not living a great life. Happiness is the fuel for the life we live. You can keep trying to acquire more things but that won't make you happy. Try to live with less. Be happy with what you have been blessed with. Stop wanting more and start needing less. Stay positive and being happy will accomplish this goal.No one or thing will bring true happiness. The only one that can allow you to be happy is you,it's your choice.By not worrying and staying happy the tough times will become easier.The bumps in the road of life will be smaller and they will pass by fast with little doubt. You don't have to explain your happiness to anyone or justify it. You don't even have to be happy about one certain thing. You just need to let yourself be happy for being you. Don't Worry,Be Happy. Hope everyone had a great weekend and even a better week. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and Be Happy!

Our Ego's

Happy Labor Day Everyone...

Our Ego's will never solve any problems. Our Ego's won't steer us in the right direction.Our ego's won't convince anyone of anything.It won't make us stronger or happier. What it will do is get in the way. It will slow your progress down from what you intend to accomplish.Mostly our ego's are superficial and are not very effective.Often we say things we don't mean. Often we act on situations then later look back and say that was dumb. Well most of the time we spoke or acted because of our ego's. By letting go of our ego's we become more effective.We make better decisions and allot of our fears disappear.We gain power,confidence and motivation. Set yourself free and let go of your ego today. You'll be surprised how the doors will open and life will be more enjoyable.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is enjoying there Labor Day.

God Bless
