Almost Over

Rifle Falls a couple day ago.

Well we have almost come to the end of another year. As this year comes to an end I would like to remind you of a few things that are important. Many are heard quoting," I'm glad this years is over" or "This past year was not good". No matter what has happened this past year there is a reason for it all.If life got you down this year then you should not forget it. You should hold this past year close to your heart.Use the past to brighten your future.Remember the situations that held you back and think of a way to move past them.Think of the frustrations and how you can rise above them.Look at what you have learned and how far you have come.Think about what you did this past year and what you will be able to do this year.Never let go of any moment of your past good or bad. Each moment has it's own value and is important.So even though this year is Almost Over,It's really just beginning.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Everyone have a safe New Years and stay off the roads if at all possible. I'm going to have a relaxing day with my sweetheart. Cook some food and watch some movies. Pop some bubbly and wait for the 2013.

Think Ahead

Picture taken a couple hours ago in De Beque Canyon on the Colorado River.

Think Ahead is not over rated by any means. My parents often reminded me when I was growing up how important this is.This doesn't mean that we always practice it though.In order to put yourself ahead you must look ahead,plan ahead and live ahead.Choose to live your life so that you'll be thankful tomorrow and the day after.Bring light to your future by making the best of what you have today.Choose the long term value that lies in every moment to propel you into a better future.Use each day to prepare for a better future.A correct small action today will make a big difference down the road.Live for the moment now while creating value for the moments to come.Your time is valuable so don't waste it.Consider your consequences right now so that you can determine what your consequences will be later.Think ahead,act ahead and you will be ahead. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. I had an amazing weekend and life just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see what this New Year is going to bring. Let's bring it on 2013.

Real Wealth

I took this picture yesterday-A Panorama in Parachute Colorado.

Real Wealth is what you earn not what you get for free.There is a price to pay for everything and that's what gives it value.You will go through many down or sad moments in life but this is the price you pay before finding happiness and wealth.You get what you pay for is so true in deed.If your not willing to pay the price then your not going to experience the value. The cost in life is generally your effort that you put forward. What you get with little or no effort is not worth much at all and will go by the way side.It is your participation that gives it meaning and worth having. It is simply a waste of time to expect something for nothing.We are fulfilled by the earning not by the possession itself.It is your effort that determines Real Wealth. Life can be wonderful and fulfilling but your going to have to get out there and earn it.Start today earning your way.Stay positive and keep moving forward and your dreams will come true. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Another great day in Sunny Colorado. I love this state and are so blessed to live here. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Get It Wrong

This is our round house at the end of our driveway.

Get It Wrong. We often don't understand the value of getting it wrong. There is great value in getting it wrong the first time in order to succeed shortly after. In fact if you don't get hung up on being wrong the first time and use the knowledge that you now have you will get it right soon.If your unable to get the results that you intended don't waste time being angry. In stead use the experience to find new and better possibilities.Don't over think the situation after the fact..Focus your energy on moving forward and upward. If you miss the first ship that might be a blessing the next ship to sail might be a better experience for you.The road to happiness is never easy nor is it a straight line. Learn to roll with it and take it as it comes.Every situation has a meaning and a reason.You will have some bad ones before you get to the good ones. Learn and love each and every one of them.Whatever you do never give up. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a holiday season.This year is ending at it's be for me. I'm very excited to bring in this new year. 2013 is going to be even better.

Be Yourself

Sunset on Christmas Night at my Fathers house.

Be yourself. When ever you be yourself you are in your comfort zone. Things will go much smoother and you will be happier.Do what you know is right for you without letting others distract you.What you love most you will do best.Be yourself around the people that make you feel comfortable. Surround yourself with loved ones that except you for who you are and what you do. By doing so you will bring out the best in you as well as the others around you.When something feels right go ahead and do it. Except it for what it is and be yourself.You will be glad you did. Don't think for one moment that it's selfish to do what you love and be yourself. When you accomplish this you have the most to offer.Be the way you want to be,feel the way you want to feel and do the things you wish to do. Just Be Yourself.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.

God Bless

Merry Christmas



Merry Christmas from Jason's Thought Of The Day.

 

Merry Christmas to all of you, friends and family. I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for the best year ever.The joy it brings me to hear others thoughts keeps me motivated and keeps me moving in the right direction. I love each and every one of you. Let's not forget that this is a great day. This is the Birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a day to celebrate and give love to others. Giving love is what he wants to see. The commercialism of this day has gone overboard and people get caught up with the gifts that are purchased. The most precious gifts can't be purchased. The best gift one can give is the gift of love. So on this Christmas Day give the best gift that you can by opening you heart. Forget about for one day your insecurities and your ego, and give the gift of love.By offering this gift it will change your life as well as others. Give love and light the darkness with hope.Give love and make the imposable possible.Give love freely,and don't worry about keeping score.For giving real love you will always end up with more.So on this day I will choose to give each and every one of you love. You are all in my thoughts and in my heart. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope you have a safe and Merry Christmas.

 

God Bless
