You Will Again

Sunset on our lake 8-25-12

No matter what's gotten in your way you have always moved past it and you will again.No matter how the cards were stacked, you have always figured a way to come out on top and you will again,Against all odds,you've succeeded before and no doubt you will do so again.You should be very optimistic about the future because it's in your hands.The future has been in your hands before and it always seems to work out.You know from experience that there's nothing you can't handle.There's no situation that you can't concur.Through the good times and the bad you have earned wisdom,courage and strength.By using these skills you will again move forward and continue on life's journey.Don't forget to love always forgive quickly and smile along the way.Happy Thursday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Grey Skies

Sunset on our lake August 2012

Grey Skies are a fact of life. We will always encounter them,if not today in the near future.Life is full of them and there is no avoiding them.The good news is they don't last very long.You can choose to make them even shorter.No matter whats on your plate or the horizon you can choose to limit your grey skies.By staying positive and keeping faith you can wash away those skies and turn them into sunshine.We often forget that others would be happy with our misfortunes compared to what they are dealing with.This is one very important aspect of life.No matter what's going on or how you feel it could be worse.Rest assured our Lord will not give us more than we can handle.Start by keeping your head up and washing away those negative thoughts.Stay positive and change the negative energy to positive energy.The positive energy will rid you of the Grey Skies that lurk.Reach through the clouds and search for the sunshine.Capture it and shine your light bright.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Prayers go out to my family and friends that are experiencing Grey Skies.Stay strong and keep the faith.

God Bless

Be Good To Yourself

Fishing the river last summer.

Be Good To Yourself no matter what. I speak on this subject often and feel it's very important.We often let life's setbacks get us down.We often feel that we are non deserving of ones love because of decisions we have made. No matter what has happened in your life you have to be good to yourself.You have to understand that everyone deserves love and faith.You will not be able to love others unless you first love yourself.Life is full of ups and downs,in fact the ups would have little meaning if it wasn't for the downs.How we handle the downs are so important in life.By handling them wisely you in turn will be loving yourself.You can make life much easier by not dwelling on the past.Choose to move past the obstacles and don't make mountains out of mole hills.You are very deserving of this and you can do it.Start with a positive attitude and a smile on your face.Next don't over analyze life and it's issues.Don't get caught up in someone else's problems.Live life to the fullest,continue to move forward and Be Good To Yourself.Most of all have faith that you can and will do this.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone one is being good to themselves on this great Thursday.

Don't Be Lazy

Panorama picture taken yesterday on the Colorado River.

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 definitely 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 procrastinating that your saving energy but your actually not your going to have to do it anyways so just do. Take control of your life and get it done. Timing is actually 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.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday.

New Opportunity

A couple geese watching us fish today on the Colorado River.

Every day and every moment will bring New Opportunity.Opportunity is all around us everywhere.However they are meaningless unless acted upon.When acted upon they can be turned into great achievements.Each day we enter will have it's own challenges and opportunities. Each day will have it's own value.Things that can be improved on and dreams that can be answered.Instead of searching for the perfect moment or a better opportunity,make the most of the opportunities that you already have.The opportunities that are with you right now on this day in this moment.Even if it doesn't seem like much if you act on it you might be surprised what value it brings.Never regret any of life's challenges.Everything happens for a reason even though we often don't understand why.Often these challenges can be turned into new opportunities.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone had a safe Presidents Day and used every moment to there advantage.

Celebrate Life

Mt.Sneffels on the western slope here in Colorado.

Celebrate Life Today. Today is the day to celebrate with passion.Celebrate each moment by giving 100% to it.Give your very best in a positive and purposeful way and you will reap the rewards that each moment has to give.Instead of wishing you had started earlier go ahead and start now.Use the time that you have in this moment and make good use of it.Even if the moment seems bleak there might be a small opportunity deep within. By taking advantage of even the smallest opportunity you will gain wisdom and strength.Often a small opportunity can quickly turn to a large opportunity so never under estimate the moment and what it might bring you.Make each day a day to celebrate and shine your light bright.You can't stop time from passing so make good use of each moment and have a reason to celebrate life.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend and is celebrating life.

Do Yourself A Favor

Fishing a on a beautiful Colorado Day.

Do yourself a favor and give yourself a goal. Make it meaningful,Make it exciting and make it challenging.Then make it happen.Set your goal beyond what you already know that you can do.That way when you reach it not only will you have the achievement but you will have an increased level of confidence.As long as your giving the effort of life today make it worth while and give yourself this goal.Working steadily and progressively towards this goal will energize your engines and keep you going in the right direction.It is a blessing that all of our dreams just don't instantly come true. We need to take our dreams and turn them into goals so that we can reach them.Working towards our dreams or goals is what makes them worth having.Your dreams will not come true in an instant. But you can start working on them instantly.You will learn and grow as you work towards your goals. Much satisfaction will be gained once a dream or goal is accomplished.Sky's the limit what ever you truly want you can obtain if you set your mind to it and never give up. Just put one foot in front of the other and reach out and grab it.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Friday everyone and thanks for visiting my thoughts today.

Make Life Fun

A beautiful late summer day in Colorado.Taken a couple years ago above Ouray CO.

Make Life Fun.Whatever you like to do. Do it. Do it often and do it well. Ever notice when people do something well they make it look fun? Have fun and laugh out loud.Figure out how to put more fun into every day activities.There's nothing wrong with having fun and in fact its healthy and will raise your quality of life.Rather than looking for reasons to complain look for reasons to smile.A smile can quickly take you from negative to positive.Think how wonderful life could be if you were more positive,more energetic,and more enthusiastic.Well doing something that you do well and having fun will bring all of this to the forefront.I have witnessed first hand how not having fun can bring you down.It also can end a relationship with a spouse or loved one.If you get to caught up in working,owning a home,cars etc. You loose touch with reality.You forget what's really important in life.What's most important is Faith,Love,Family and having fun along the way.So no matter what's going on in your life right now.Stop today and have some fun. Pick something you like to do and do it.Do it now and do it well.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.I hope everyone is having a great week so far.Thanks for visiting my thought today.

Different Options

Some beautiful fall colors near Placerville Colorado.

No matter what's going on in your life you always have Different Options.If somethings not going right you can always try a different approach.It's never to late to go a different direction.Never to late to go around the road block.No matter what, there's always different options at your finger tips.You might not know what these options are but sure enough they are there.Just knowing that they are can often make a big difference in the outcome.If the road is blocked there is another way to get there.If the door is shut there might be a window close by to crawl through.So relieve the stress and consider your different options.Worrying about the results will do nothing but cloud your judgement and slow your progress.You can stay positive and reach any goal by remembering the different options that you have.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Keeping It Real

Taken a couple years ago on one of my trips to the Eastern slope in Colorado

Keeping It Real is one I mention often in my thoughts. Keeping an open mind and being true to yourself and others is a very important part of life. No one is perfect and we all have our faults but this is what makes life so great. By keeping it real and being honest to yourself and others will make life much easier.When something goes wrong in life we are quick to judge or blame others for the mishap.However by keeping it real and having a clear view of the problem is the first step in fixing it.By blaming others you limit your possibilities for solving the problem.You might fool others but you can't fool yourself.So keep it real and continue forward.Take each moment as they come and enjoy what life has to offer.If you don't seem to be happy then perhaps your not keeping it real.One will never find happiness until they find happiness within.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great weekend and are Keeping It Real.

Step Back

Another beautiful Colorado Day.

Take a moment today to Step Back. Take one step back and take a good look at what's around you.Take a little time to analyze your life and understand what direction you are headed. Understand where you are now and where you have been.Life is good but you can always make it better if you choose to.With a solid effort the challenges will become valuable opportunities.By taking advantage of these opportunities your life can go wherever you want it to go.Your wildest dreams can and will be answered.Make good use of what you have and everything that's around you.Step back and improve your life today.Never take one moment for granted and be sure to shine your light bright.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. A great Thursday this is and Friday is just around the corner.To all a great day and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Learning To Adapt

The road into Curricanti last summer fishing.

Throughout life you have been excepting change and learning to adapt.Sometimes it's easy and sometimes its a little bit harder.With every change that comes your way seek the opportunities in each one and use them to your advantage.Learn to adapt and move your life forward in a positive way.The quicker you adapt the better your life will be.No matter what has happened in the past,that is over and new opportunities are waiting for you.Instead of wishing life was different,except what it is and what it has to offer.Instead of letting change bring you down choose to be lifted up to a new level. A level that will bring you smiles and happiness.We seem to notice the quick changes more than the slow and steady changes.The fact of the matter is that life is always changing with every moment and every experience.Continue on and upward learning to adapt.Don't forget to smile always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Wednesday everyone,we're half way through the work week. Continue you forward learning to adapt.

Road Block

Panorama sunset on our lake last March.

Have you hit a Road Block? If so the last thing you want to do is quit. Just because you are slowed down does not mean that you can't get there.If something suddenly seems impossible choose to look at it in a different way.Perhaps take a different approach.When one avenue is blocked pick another route.What makes your dream your own is how you get there.You must find your own way to achieve the goal.When the road is blocked it's not a setback. It's an opportunity to be creative. An opportunity to realize that things don't always go as planned but with confidence the same goal can be met.There's always more than one way to move forward. Sometimes the best way is not the easiest way.Stick with it,go around the road block and continue moving forward. 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 so far.

Figured Out

Fishing near Ridgeway last year.

Have you ever thought that you had it all Figured Out? Just to find out that you really didn't know all that your thought.Or perhaps things were not what they seemed to be.That's OK if you except the fact that we will never understand everything nor would you want to.These misunderstandings of life can sometimes be your greatest blessings.These setbacks can motivate you to make improvements.Our troubles show us our weaknesses.This in return will propel us to take the first step. The first step in turning these weaknesses into strengths.You will often find that you will quickly be back on top.You will quickly figure it out.This makes life exciting and keeps us on our toes.If we are not challenged once in awhile our accomplishments would be meaningless.Choose to find a positive side with every situation and you will figure it out in a hurry.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Monday everyone and thanks for visiting Jason's Thought today.

Being In A Rush

A sunny day last spring on our lake.

Being In A Rush will often slow your progress down. It will lead to costly mistakes and loss value.Every day there is work to be done but rushing through it is not the answer.Live life at the pace that it comes..Don't rush into tomorrow when today is so valuable.Tomorrow will come in good time and you will have plenty of opportunities to capture it's value. By rushing today you might miss something important.Making life go faster does not make it better.Sometimes you just have to take a breath and relax a little.Take a moment to look around,enjoy the moment your in and what it has to offer.Life has it's own pace and there's no reason to try and outrun it.Take time to smell the flowers of life.Take in everything you can without being in a rush.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone is having a great weekend and thank you for visiting Jason's Thought Today.

Reality Check

Camping at Ridgeway last summer.

Every once in a while we all need A Reality Check.The world is the way it is and you are the way you are so what can be done about it? Are you going to dwell on the past? Wish you could go back in time? Or even stop today in it's moment. This is all a waste of time. The sooner we realize that time moves in one direction the better off we'll be. Time moves forward and only forward. Are you going to sit around and wait for someone else to solve your problems for you? If so your going to fall further behind. Are you going to waste energy because you feel you have been treated unfairly by life? If so the negative outcomes will increase.It's your choice to make.You're in this state because you have chosen this road. So why not choose to be positive? Why not wake up to a Reality Check? Except the way things are and start doing something about them. It doesn't really matter who's fault you think it is. It doesn't really matter where you have been or where you are now. What really matters is the choice is yours where you go from here. Use this day to improve yourself and others around you. Improve your situation right now. It's never to late for a Reality Check. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Take a moment today to tell a friend or loved one how much you appreciate them in your life.

God Bless
