Building Momentum

Panorama near Island Lakes on the Grand Mesa, Western Colorado last weekend.

Never stop building momentum. You've done a great deal. Now challenge yourself to do more. Here's the opportunity to add to what you've already done.  The more you build, the more you will have. The longer it takes to build the greater value it will have. Things are never easy, but they are well worth working for. Great satisfaction comes with growing and building. Remember if you do nothing, you gain nothing. Do what needs to be done to achieve your goals. At times it might not be easy to stay positive and focused, but trust me it's well worth it. The value of any goal is built by the time and effort that you put into it. Keep going, keep building and never give up. The fact that it's not easy means that you're doing something worth while. Don't forget to never stop building, love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Be Stronger

Our hike to Blue Lakes in the San Juan Mountains CO. a couple weeks ago. (11,750 FT)

Be stronger is not only possible but it's a must. Life will always have it's challenges, so learn to take them head on and be stronger than them. We all have the ability to be stronger if we simply make the choice to do so. Except each situation as it is and get busy working through them. Turn each problem into a solution and work towards the next task that lies ahead. With every problem there is an opportunity for growth. Life without opportunity or growth would be boring and dull. Don't try to be free of problems because that will never happen. Don't waste your time searching for a worry free life because that's not reality. Use your time to be stronger and rise above the problems. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

On The Right Track

We passed by this pond on our hike last weekend to Blue Lakes. Picture- Reflection of Mt. Sneffles, (14,157 ft.) San Juan Mountain Range, Colorado.

Being “on the right track” can mean completely different things for different people. But regardless of what characteristics you want your life to have, the same basic questions apply to everyone. Ask yourself "Am I enjoying myself?" Enjoying life isn’t the only priority we should have. For example, enjoying life a little too much can lead to reckless and irresponsible behaviors. However, a much more common problem people have today is not making time for enjoyment. If you’re not careful, jobs, bills, and various obligations can end up occupying most of your time. In this case, we begin to break down like a car that has needed an oil change for too long. If you’re consistently busy, you may want to consider consciously planning out time for enjoyable activities. If we don’t do this, our minds often compensate with less healthy enjoyable activities, like eating junk food or gossiping just to blow off steam. Next ask yourself "Am I procrastinating my life away?" This is perhaps the easiest and least noticeable way to go off the right track, which makes it especially dangerous. It’s very easy to let ourselves believe in the “one day” lie: one day I’ll start exercising;  one day I’ll start my own business. But if you don’t mean today, these things will probably never happen. Instead, you can begin taking small actions each day to bring about the changes you want. As long as you accomplish a small task, you’ll be moving toward a goal. Work on these two things and you will be on the right track. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Our hike last weekend to Dollar Lake, Kebler Pass Colorado.

Self satisfaction is very important in order to be happy. Self satisfaction concerns you and only you. It doesn't reflect anyone else's thoughts or opinions. Being satisfied with who and where you are is the key to happiness. This doesn't mean that you have to stop dreaming and working for more. It simply means that you accept what is and continue on from there. Don't be bothered with what others think or say. Don't let negativity by others slow your momentum. You should be enthusiastic in what you do and you should follow your instincts. If it's something you truly want then it's definitely worth the effort to obtain. Put your heart and sole into your efforts and you will obtain your goals. Even if you fall short you should be satisfied with you efforts. Having self satisfaction will lift your life up higher than you ever imagined. Keep self satisfaction high on your list of priorities and you will see many great things. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.
