Treasure Every Step

The gondola on it's way to up to Mountain Village.

Treasure every step you take. Don't rush them, they have more value than you could ever imagine. Don't worry that you're not there yet. Part of the process to reaching a goal is the process of getting there. If things happened over night they would lack value and substance. The journey along the way has great value in deed. The more effort you put forth the more value the goal becomes. With every step you gain knowledge and wisdom. Don't be afraid of the time it will take to reach your goal. When your moving in the right direction take time to enjoy each step along the way. Be thankful that you're headed in the right direction. Don't get caught up in how long it has taken. Enjoy where you are and how far you have come. Remember you can't turn the corner until you come to it. Do the work and treasure every step it takes to get to the corner. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. We have made it to the corner of the week, Wednesday is here. Now lets turn the corner and treasure every step.

Work On The Things You Can Change

Some ice in the Black Canyon last week.


Work on the things you can change. In life there will always be things you can change and things you can't. Some things are just out of our control and are a waste of time to worry about them. Life is to short to spend time on them. Don't misunderstand me, you should notice them and understand that the things that you can't change will teach you patience give your courage and move you forward. But just don't spend to much time focusing on them. Use your time wisely to work on the things that you can change. The more you work on the things that you can change the better life will be around you. The sooner you except the things that you can't change the sooner you will be laying the ground work for the things that you can change. In both situations be sure to make the best of both. Learn from both and put into action the things that you can change. Be sure to shine your light and shine it bright. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Turn It Around

Following up last weeks golden eagle picture with this weeks bald eagle picture.

Tomorrow is the day that you can turn it around. If today was not so great, tomorrow can be better. If life is getting you down make a promise to yourself to turn it around. The first step to solving any problem is changing your thought process. When it's not going well then make a change and turn it around. It's really not that hard to turn a disappointing and frustrating day around. All you have to do is choose to make a change. Turn a negative into a positive by heading in the right direction. Wake up with a smile and start your day off right. Don't focus on the negatives so much that you drown out the positives. There are positives occurring all around us, the problem is we miss them. We are so caught up in the every day drama that we miss the positives. Instead of looking for reasons to complain, look for ways to laugh. Do something that puts a smile on your face and the others around you. Make life fun and turn it around. No matter what you have to achieve, challenge yourself to make it fun. Look for the positives and turn it around. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. After all tomorrow is Tuesday, what a perfect day to turn it around.

Don't Stop Yourself

A beautiful morning below Morrow Point Dam last Monday.

Don't stop yourself today or tomorrow. In the past you have stopped yourself more than you can ever imagine. We often make excuses why we can't do something. We stop ourselves before we even get started. Some times we  even place blame on others why we can't achieve a goal. This is again stopping yourself from doing what should and could be done. Stop holding yourself back and get busy with the task at hand. Having doubts have no value to you or others around you. No mountain is to high, no goal is unreachable. The only limitations that can stop you are the limitations you place on yourself. You have to let go of those thoughts and carry through with what you intended on doing. Stop holding yourself back, take action today. Don't stop yourself from rising to the top. Stay positive and stay focused, you can do it. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Temporary Situations

An eagle posted up in a tree, yesterday in the Black Canyon.

Everything in life is temporary. This day will pass just as yesterday did and just like tomorrow will.
So no matter what's going on in your world keep in mind that it's only temporary. Situations change so does life. While you're in this day give it your best effort. Do everything you can to make tomorrow even better. If things are difficult right now you can make them better. As good as life is right now you can make it even better. Always work to create a positive future and be sure to take advantage of the good things each and every day. All situations are temporary so work to make the most positive outcome you can. If life is going well, make the most of your situation. Work to make the situation even better. If life is not going well keep in mind that it's only temporary, continue forward and take the steps to make it better. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday.

Do It Anyway

Some ice on the river today.

There will always be someone there to criticize what you do and the choices you make. But do it anyway. There will be setbacks along the way but choose to do it anyway. It will take longer than expected to accomplish but do it anyway. Right now there is something that you probably want to do but you keep making excuses not to do it. You should set your goals no matter what is slowing your decision and just get it done. If it's something you are thinking about and it really means something to you then it's meant to be done. It won't just happen on it's own. You must put effort in and do it anyway. Stay positive and take that first step to move forward. It might just be easier to reach than you think. There's no better time than now to get it done. Just Do It Anyway. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Thanks for visiting my thought today.

What To Expect From Life

Frozen Trees.

Do you know what to expect from yourself? What if you were to decide to expect a little bit more? We get real comfortable with what we do and what we accomplish. What if for once you wanted to accomplish more? Well there's great news. Where you are now is the perfect place because you can start from where you are. You can push for just a little bit more. You can start from where you are and expect a little bit more from yourself. You can take what your doing and do it just a little bit better. Raise the bar a little bit. Jump a little bit higher. Take what you already have and build on it. You have been successful in life to this point. Take that success and use it to your advantage. Make today the day that you step out of your box. Get out of it and stand on top of it. Hold your head high and smile. You have made it this far and you know what to expect from yourself. But don't stop here. Keep moving and keep pushing on. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone expected a little bit more today. If not start tomorrow,  expect more and receive more.

Remind Yourself

Fresh snow last Saturday, above Mountain Village Colorado.

Remind yourself what you have to be thankful for. Remind yourself what you love. We often think of the things that we dislike. Perhaps things that annoy us or that we hate. Well change it up today and put those aside. Concentrate on the things that you love. Things that bring a smile to your face.The things that really make a difference in your life. What do you like about today, or maybe yesterday. We all have our own share of problems but choose to put them aside today and think about the good things you have going in this moment. The more you focus on the good things the more they will grow and the more joy they will bring. You will then find that the bad things will be less important. Be thankful that you woke up today. Be thankful for the people that are in your life. Have no regrets and never look back. Don't forget to remind yourself to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Invest In Yourself

Another beautiful Colorado Day.

Invest in yourself today and every day. Don't just go through the motions day in and day out. Give life meaning by investing in yourself. Understand where you are and where you want to be. By investing in yourself you will make better decisions and will move forward in life. You might not always make the correct decisions but that's OK. Invest the time and effort and even the wrong decisions might not be all that bad. Accomplishments can't be purchased, they come as a result of what your willing to invest in yourself. Invest more and receive more in return. The times when you experience the greatest satisfaction are the times when you have invested in yourself. Great things will come when investing your effort, your energy and your commitment. In order to accomplish this you must first invest in yourself. Make up your mind that you will do this and invest in yourself today. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. We have invested ourselves in this week and we have almost made it to the end. Friday is just around the corner. Thanks for visiting my thought today.

Learn From Life

The beautiful San Juan Mountains the other morning.

Learn From Life. The problem is we often only except what we want to learn form our experiences. We experience important lessons each and every day. Some are exciting and new. Some are painful and scary. But if you allow your experiences to teach you, each one will play an important roll in your life. Often we only capture the fun experiences. But the painful ones are just as important. Every day you will cross others that will make you angry, perhaps cause you frustration but don't push these lessons off to the side. Work your way through each experience and choose to find the value in each and every one. Life will make more sense if you allow each experience to teach you the value they have in them. The difficult times will be less difficult and the joys of life will become more abundant. The more you learn what life has to teach you the setbacks will become easier. Except the lessons that life has for you and be thankful for what you have. Often we get caught up in the material things instead of what really makes life great. To all a great day and don't forget to remind a friend or loved one how much you appreciate them in your life. Love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Stick To The Basics

The San Miguel River in Placerville Colorado. Yes Colorado not California.


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 will travel far 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.

Encourage Yourself

Another beautiful pick from Telluride Colorado.


Encourage Yourself. Often we rely on others for this but the truth is encouragement within yourself is the best encouragement you can have. It raises your self esteem and makes us more confident.For one moment think about how great life is and how much better it can be.Think about all the great things you have accomplished and how many more goals you can reach. Even if life is not showing you much encouragement right now you can still choose to have encouragement within.You are free to feel the way you want to feel and think the way you want to think. So why not encourage yourself today to be happy? Choose to enjoy every moment and strive to make each moment even better. If your world is showing you little encouragement then choose to be the encourager. Encourage Yourself Today! Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a great weekend and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Ask Yourself Why

Last dollar road near the Telluride airport.

Ask Yourself Why? If you not making much progress then ask yourself why.Take a moment to remind yourself why you have chosen the road  your on. Why you have the priorities you now follow.If it's not working out it's never to late to change roads.Perhaps it's time to focus on a new direction or new destination.Or maybe you need a reminder of why your goal is important.It's easy to get bogged down by every day life. Once in a while we must step back,take a breath and look at the big picture. Take a moment to enjoy life. What ever you are rushing around to do can wait until tomorrow. The house chores,the yard work will all be there tomorrow. If you don't life will pass you by. Take time to admire the things you treasure.Take a moment to tell a loved one that you appreciate them. Help a friend or just be you.Take a moment to Ask Yourself Why. To all a great day.Thanks for visiting my blog today. Don't forget to Love always,Forgive Quickly and Smile along the way.
