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.

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.
