Know Your Limits

Early winter in Telluride last year.

Do we ever really know our limits? I don't think this is possible unless you decide to quit. When a goal isn't reached it's because you decided on a limit. You put a limit on yourself and stopped the forward momentum. The limits we put on ourselves is a decision we make within. The person you can become is only limited by what you choose to dream. Dream big and reach for the stars, or limit your dreams and your life. Your achievements will be limited only by the efforts your put forth. Put a lot of effort into life and you will be successful. Or will you choose to limit your efforts and fall short of your goals?  Your knowledge is limited only by what your willing to learn. Where you go is limited by how far you care to reach. Understand that sky's the limit and you have work to do. Don't underestimate your limits and keep moving forward. Even when there are setbacks continue to climb and eventually you will make it. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone tested there limits today, and as always thanks for visiting my thought today.

Respect Others

A panorama of Mollas Pass last week

Respect others. Most have no problem respecting our friends and family but we often forget to respect the ones we don't know. You should take notice and try to understand others around you. The person behind you at the supermarket. The one walking down the sidewalk and yes perhaps even the one that cuts you off while driving. Even if you don't agree with them respect others opinions. Everyone around you is important and brings value to your life. Give others your full attention even if it's only for a brief moment. Sometimes that split second is all it takes to bring a smile to someone's face. To brighten some one else's day will bring value and joy to your day as well. Each person has hopes, dreams, pains and problems. Some are the same as yours some may be different. Try to understand them like you would your own. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Yes in deed bring value to your life respect others. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a respectful day.

A Promise

Driving up Red Mountain Pass on Monday.


A promise is something we often make to someone else. We then work on keeping this promise over time. What we often forget is that the most important promise one can make is a promise to yourself. A promise to yourself is often the first promise broken. But if the same effort is taken either promise can be kept. If your going to make commitments to others you must first make and keep commitments to yourself. In order for the promise to have value you must first value yourself. It's not the least bit selfish to have a commitment to yourself. Without this you will have little value to others. Today think of a promise you can make to yourself and then work towards keeping it. Choose a promise for yourself and make a plan to follow through. Perhaps it will be an exercise or diet routine. Perhaps just being honest with yourself of who you are and where you want to be. Once you succeed you will have gained great value in life and will have no problems passing it along to others with commitment and dedication. No matter how far you have come there is always new ground to cover. Commit today to moving to higher ground. Today is the day to make yourself A promise. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a promising day and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Focus

Silverton Colorado a couple of days ago.

It's easy to focus on negative things going on in your life and others. But it's just as easy to focus your thoughts on something positive. It takes the same effort either way.It's easy to be upset about your problems but it's just as easy to be thankful for your blessings. Maintaining a positive outlook on life is just as easy as going around with a negative attitude. Staying positive takes no special skills just a choice that is yours to make. It's easy and a choice that you can make right now. Choose to make your challenges your greatest opportunities instead of negative setbacks. Be happy with what you have instead of what you think you need. Don't hold onto the past unless it's in a positive way.It's Easy to stay positive if you choose to. Don't forget to forgive quickly, love always and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a focused day and are headed in the right direction.

Be Yourself

A quiet morning yesterday in Telluride Colorado.

The most important job you have to do is being yourself. You have contributions to make and gifts to give that no one else can duplicate. You have your own thoughts, you own perspective about the way life should be and you should share with others. Expect your way to be slightly different than others but that's what makes us all unique. Don't be scared to express your feelings in your own special way. There are great treasures in your authenticity. Live true to the best of who you are. Let your very own light shine. Shine it bright and shine it proud. Only you can do this only you can be you. So don't cheat yourself. By trying to be something that your not. Spend your time wisely and just be yourself. You would feel cheated if you spent money on something and got little value in return. So use your time to be yourself. Express yourself the way you feel you should. Right now you are alive in a world that is filled with possibilities so get with it and bring those possibilities to life by living and expressing in your own unique way. Just be yourself. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.  Hope everybody had a great weekend and even a better week to come.

Don't Let Others Slow Your Progress

Don't let others slow 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 continue your forward direction.Don't settle for just getting by either. Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching even 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 in order to succeed. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a blessed Thursday and thanks again for visiting my thought today.

Give Your Best Today

Looking down at the city of Ouray from our hike up to Box Canyon Falls on Sunday.

Give Your Best Today. Give today meaning and live with passion. Treat each moment like it's your last. Because it very well may be. You never no what life has in store for you. Don't take one moment for granted. You can never relive any moment in time. Once it's gone it's gone for ever. Each moment is unique and different and is a chance to fulfill your dreams. Don't get caught up in the way you think it should be or the way you want it. Instead take advantage of what it is. Let the downfalls serve as guides of where to make improvements. There's no better time than now to reach out and grab your dream. Hold on to it and make it happen. Give your best today and tomorrow will be even better. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a great Tuesday and gave there best.

The Truth

An ice climber today climbing the walls of the box canyon in Ouray Colorado.

The Truth is not always easy. The truth is not always understood and often mistaken. if you make the truth top priority you can make it happen. We often make excuses for not doing something or not living life to the fullest. The truth is these are excuses and far from the truth. Only you have the power to take life by the horns and jump in feet first while being true to yourself and others. The truth can lead you beyond any challenge. The only thing that can hold you back are the limits you put on yourself and these limits start by untrue thoughts. Limits that stop you from dreaming and moving forward with where you need to be. The truth is that you have made it this far and you would be much further if it wasn't for the limitations you put on yourself. Stay true and wash away the disbelief. Be True to yourself and keep moving forward,you can do it. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I had a great day enjoying our beautiful Colorado outdoors with family and friends. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

God Bless

Follow your path to fulfillment

Picture taken last year, our round house at the end of our driveway.

Follow your path to fulfillment. No one said it would be easy. No one said it was going to be handed to you either. You will have to work for it and you will have your ups and downs. One thing for sure when you least expect it life will reach out and grab you. You will have fulfilled your dreams but don't settle for just one. Keep expanding, keep dreaming big and keep moving forward. Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching higher and building achievements. If your life seems unfulfilled it's not because of the challenges. It's because you choose to let those challenges stand in your way instead of finding the value in them. Us humans hate change. We are set in our ways and often steer clear from changes. But changes are good, choose to find the good instead of always searching for the bad. You never know, your next dream might be filled tomorrow or even today. So make the best of every moment. Follow your path to fulfillment. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Have a wonderful Friday and a fulfilled weekend.

Something Positive

Another picture looking across the valley near Telluride Colorado.

Have you ever noticed that worrying about what you don't want to happen normally makes no difference in the outcome? In fact by focusing your energy towards it will often make it happen quicker. It also works the other way to. Wishing and hoping for what you want to come will not move you any closer to getting it either. Just wishing takes away time and effort that could be used towards positive action moving you closer to your dreams. The best way to getting what you want and avoiding what you don't want is the same action. Do something positive towards it. The way to take action is start right now.Take a focused positive action towards your dreams. Do something positive and effective to get one step closer. It's your choice so stop worrying and start moving. Do something positive today. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Have a positive Wednesday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

You Have A Choice

Looking across the valley in Mountain Village CO. on Saturday.

You have a choice. Stress seems to be a major part of many peoples world today. Well you have a choice. Life doesn't have to be this way at all. In most cases stress is what you make it. Or even more so, stress is a reaction that you choose in a certain situation. Allot of the times we cause ourselves more stress than what is needed. In many cases the situation is because of a bad decision that we have made. Then we make it worse by stressing out. We take a situation and respond with a stressful attitude. Instead, choose to respond with love and determination and you will find life much easier. Use positive action instead of negative action. It's your choice and it's yours to make. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't turn mole hills into mountains. Take life one step at a time placing one foot in front of the other. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Have a great Monday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

God Bless
