Life Can Be Difficult

Another beautiful sunset on our lake the other night.

Life can be difficult yes in deed. However we often judge the difficulties by the wrong factors. We judge them by how things are in this very moment. We forget that things have probably been much worse in the past and perhaps could get much worse in the future. When life is difficult choose to stay positive. The more positive you stay the quicker things will turn around. Choose to show some enthusiasm. Know that things aren't always easy, in fact the best things in life we have to work for. You can choose to stay down in the dumps about the situation, or you can choose to be excited about the possibilities to come. Keep in mind that things can and will get better. In fact a positive outcome might be closer than you think. Never ever give up because you just never know how close you might be. Difficult times are good because you are realizing how good things can be. So put one foot in front of the other and keep taking steps. Stay positive even when life is difficult. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Thank you again for visiting my thought today.

Take A Moment

Another one from last weekend on the Colorado River.

Take a moment to enjoy what you have. Take a moment to realize that there's more to life than rush and confusion. Take a moment to step back and capture the meaning of life in all it's glory. Let go of any turmoil and drown out the everyday noise of hustle and bustle. Understand that life is full of change and change is often good. Take a moment to except change and everything that could come from it. Take a moment and enjoy some quiet time. Take a moment to remember where you are and who you are. Take a moment to reflect on the important things that have meaning in your life. If you stop for one minute you will often find what you are focusing on and or worrying about is not that important. Take a moment now and do it often. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a great weekend and it carries on into the week.

Freedom Of Opinion

Down on the Colorado River last weekend.

Freedom of opinion is often overlooked. For some reason when it comes to excepting others opinions with an open mind things often take a turn in a different direction. Whenever someone says something that we disagree with we often pull the race, religion or sex card to back our beliefs. I for one am really tired of this sort of nonsense. It's not about what race, religion or sex you are. It's about living in a fee America and being able to voice our opinions (beliefs) how we see fit. I believe that America is no longer where it once was. I think we should be able to voice our beliefs regardless or religion, race or sex. Regardless of what others think, we should all be equal and able to voice what we believe in. We should not be hated on because we have a different way of life or different opinion. If someone has a different belief than you that's great.  Agree to disagree and move on. Life is to short to strip one of their freedom of opinion. Live life with an open mind and enjoy every moment. Don't make mountains out of mole hills and express your opinion when ever and how ever you see fit. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a great Wednesday and an even better tomorrow. Thanks again for liking and sharing my thought of the day.

Have A Little Fun

Sunset on our lake the other night.

Sometimes we must play a little, have a little fun. i have posted thoughts about this many times and feel it's so very important. We often get caught up in our own little worlds that we forget to breath a little. You can have fun and let loose once in awhile yet still be responsible. The chores will be there tomorrow. Children do it, animals do it and we can benefit from it as well. In order to grow and gain experience you must let yourself go and play a little. Have some fun every now and then. Choose something fun to do that the outcome doesn't matter. Always set time, energy and resources aside for play. It will calm your days and brighten you nights. It will also have a great impact on your work and the others around you. We perform at our best when we are doing something we enjoy. Increase your play time and it will reflect on your work in a positive way. So don't loose focus and don't forget what life is all about. Plan a play day or even just a few hours to stop and smell the roses. Have a little fun. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone has a little fun this weekend and thanks again for visiting my thought today.

Celebrate Life

Some deadwood in the forest off of Last Dollar Rd. above Telluride 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 into a large opportunity so never under estimate the moment and what it might bring. 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. I hope everyone is had a great weekend and is celebrating life.

Picture Yourself

This little girl was eating lunch with us on Sunday.

Picture yourself in a batter place. Picture yourself with less stress an anxiety. Now make that picture come to life. You have everything within you to make this picture a reality. Change your thoughts and focus on the positive possibilities. Forget about the problems and let them go, you are now headed in the right direction. The mental picture you hold of yourself will dictate your thoughts and actions. The better the picture, the better the outcome. So picture yourself in a happy place. Picture yourself bringing value to each moment.  You can picture yourself any way you choose, so while your at it you might as well paint a beautiful picture. The way your picture yourself will affect your life and others around you. Picture yourself not in terms of your regrets. Instead, consider all the valuable lessons you've learned and start painting a positive picture today. You are the canvas and you have the tools, picture yourself today. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Thank you once again for visiting my thought today. Have fun painting your picture.

A Promise

More fall colors on Mollas Pass last week.

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 is having a terrific Friday and thanks again for visiting my thought today.

God Bless
