Less Is What You Need

The top of Seven Falls, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

We live in a society that always tells us to get more. You may be doing this unconsciously, because you’ve always been living this way and that’s your environment. You’re buying more stuff, which you then need to take care of and fix. You make more friends, but that doesn’t mean you spend time with quality people who lift you up. You consume a lot of information daily, but most of it has nothing to do with your life and goals, and only brings you stress and worries. You add more tasks to your to-do list all the time, but most often you’re just keeping yourself busy, and still not getting the important things done. Such a life is complex. And this complexity makes us over think, doesn’t let us fall asleep fast, makes us anxious because we are in a rush all the time and try to stay up-to date. It’s time to stop doing that. Simpler is better. Less is what you need more of and it’s the power of eliminating the unnecessary that will let you find more meaning in your days and more happiness in your soul. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Positive Mistakes

The Botanical Gardens in Denver CO. last weekend.

Positive Mistakes will happen. In fact you can make most mistakes positive if you choose to do so. Mistakes in life will happen no matter what, so why not make the best of them and look at each mistake as an opportunity. With every mistake there is an opportunity to learn. Mistakes are a positive reminder that we don't know it all. With every mistake there is a way to move forward. There is a positive way around every pitfall. By excepting mistakes you are on you way to gaining knowledge you didn't have before. You can use this knowledge in a positive way and become more experience at handling mistakes. You will learn to let them go and get over them more quickly. Don't fear anything because of a possible mistake. Don't let mistakes get you down. Mistakes are a sign that you are putting forth effort. With effort and persistence great things will come your way. Great achievements require you to work your way through the mistakes and misunderstandings. Keep your chin up and keep those mistakes positive. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Don't Stop Yourself

A couple geese hanging out down by the river. Montrose Colorado

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 is having a great week so far.

Get Moving

Moab Utah a couple years ago. We will be returning next month for some hikes.

Get moving in deed. Today is the day to get up and move. Life is like riding a bike, to keep balance you must keep moving. Taking action will take you from here to there. Get moving, turning your dreams into reality. The only way to achieve a goal is to get moving. Be ready to adjust your actions based on the results you are getting. When you get moving there are no guarantees of success. However by not moving you are guaranteed a negative outcome. Don't make excuses why not to move. Make excuses why to move and get moving today. You can prepare and plan for weeks, but that's not going to get the job done. Put some commitment into this day and get moving. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

A Promise

A pond near Telluride Colorado last Saturday.

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.

Stay Positive

This little one is working hard.

Staying Positive is easier than you think. Just because life is bringing you down doesn't mean that you have to choose to be down. Choose to stay positive and more positive things will come your way. No matter what your situation is doesn't mean that you have to see it as a burden, even the loss of a loved one. Though never easy we should be reminded that life is change and change is often good. In many cases the loss was necessary to ease the pain of the individual. Know this person is no longer in pain and is in good hands. Instead stay positive and keep pushing on. If you live in the state that you're stuck in a rut in deed you will be stuck. This is the easy way out but it's just as easy to find a way out of the rut and move forward. If your positive and confident you will in deed move forward. Choose to live with the thought that there's away around every obstacle and you will find a way around. The quality of your life positively reflects the attitude you choose to have. The person you choose to be, the attitude you choose to maintain and the expectations you choose to live will come from you. So not matter what happens or has happened choose to stay positive and you'll be on your way. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Amazing Life

An older picture of mine. Some curious creatures watching me fish.

Life is truly amazing. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing take a moment to realize how amazing it is. Don't be so anxious to find something new that you miss out on what you already have. If you're not happy where you are in life then make a change. Life is amazing if you choose to let it be. Be curious with everything and everyone that crosses your path. Be excited by what you see and what you learn. Pay attention to every part of your life and you will truly be amazed at what you see. Hold high expectations for what you seek and keep reaching for the stars. You will encounter many new things on your journey and experience things that you never imagined existed. Many new treasures are available so find as much as you can. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Amazing life in deed. 

God Bless
