Progress

Its a late night but I felt it was time to write.  A lot has happened since I wrote last.  Im exhausted.  Drained, Ive studied myself out!  But I've made progress.  One thing this lady told me today at the YMCA which made me feel so good!  She told me that each time she sees me I look a little different, always beautiful, but this time she hardly recognized me.  I told her i hoped that this was a good thing! ( We should always find time to admonish one another, i personally believe it is because of the lack of love and attention that people long for that they feel they must force it by constantly making people look at them!  watch them!  when in reality, if they got the actually loving attention that they deserve......they wouldnt NEED to do all that because they ARE fullfilled BUT THIS IS JUST my opinion)))) Progress in ones life is so crucial to the big picture, its those small changes that accumulate over an extended period of time that change our course of walk.  I've been making steady changes lately.  Primarily, where I use my God given time.  Its so important to note where we spend our time, and evaluate if that time utilized watching that show, or whatever it may be, is adding value to your life or not.  Next, significat improvements occur when you realize your goals, and each day even if its just ONE step, your walking in that direction.  Sometimes for me its so often easy to get overwhelmed with the big picture, that I constantly am looking ahead in the future but forgetting to live in the absolute moment that it is.  I decided while making breakfast this morning to turn something inspirational on as, I was really needing a refreshning to my spirit kinda feeling.

 I got out Earl Nightingale whom talks about the strangest secret of success.  He's determines that a man is what he thinks.  If you often tell yourself you'll never be this or that, surely, you wont.  We must THINK. Think on what we desire, our goals, and make them attainable by thinking on them day in and out.  He sets this thirty day challenge and limits us to making just ONE goal for that thirty days, whatever it may be.  It could be to get in more shape, get closer to God, make more money, wtv it may be.   GREAT WISE MAN.  eventually over the twelve separate months you've developed some different habits!  I had been wasting a lot of energy over the things that I had no control over, and not spending enough time on what my challenges were for the day.  Once I met these challenges, then the future would come!  Its always good to work towards goals but its easy to get overwhelmed when we have so many of them, we don't know where to get started.  SOMEWHERE is better than NOWHERE. don't paralyze yourself.  God knows I've done it, and looked back and wondered where that year had been.

I've been getting in awesome shape lately, Ive been strength conditioning alot, jumproping, eating healthier(not COMPLETELY HEALTHY cuz i love food too much to drop it all) however, I feel no guilt because I look forward to the challenge to work it off.  I feel soooo much zeal when Im constantly trying something new, it feels soooo goood to open up my creative side.  My idea flow is like a river when im working out, singing in the shower and dancing around the house.  I feel one thing that had been the hardest in the past for me was REcognizing the things that were not fruitful in my life and cutting them off.  Id make time for them while letting the other things I desired to more love to do with my precious time go.  Not anymore, Ive taken life by the horns and it feels amazing. Ive really subjected myself to analyze my thinking habits because it is there that Satan is either given or not given reigns.  You can allow negative thoughts to ponder through but only with your permission!  this could b something as simple as, yea that business idea wont ever work, or ill never have an ass like that!  hahaha .....LIES!  i think its in the recogniztion of the negativity that we can finally have the power because at least we SEE it rather than live in it...MAke any sense!

Lets see, I cant wait to get this show on the road.  Ive determined that the kids and I are going to Canada(cuz ive been saying ima do it for long time now) as well as explore the rest of this state before we peace out.

Im buying this new professional camera to start some photography and take pics of where i grew up, where i had my first kiss, etc im so excited because primarily most these memories reside in our memory but I want something visual to represent this piece of history for the kids and I.  Then we gonna hit up the white mountains in NH which we've already been but didnt explore nearly as much as I so desired.

 NExt theres nothing in VT i wanna see so we gonna go to Boston and explore a couple games, planetarium, zoo, etc, they have a TON of entreprenuer seminars etc there that are simply inspiring i would lovvvee to get my hands on.

Next we are mapping out NY because I want to see niagra falls(my grandfather went a few years before he died and my aunt got a chance to see it) i wanna take some great photos under the falls.  I am also lookin forward to viewin NYC even if just for the day to get the massive feel for it, all the lights and hectic lifestyle these people live!

 Also want to see where the Twin towers went down and the progress work there.  NExt we ware hitting up Tennessee at this underground lake that Ive read about, its called the LOST SEA.......

 visitng VA for my grad school graduation, and of course SC to stop off to visit some old friends, and finnaly at our destination.  Im praying this summer will be filled with some amazing opportunities as we travel, we meet great people along the way, and develop some lasting friendships!  Well, the last thing I'd like to leave any reader with is an excerpt from one my leadership books by John Maxwell.  Its a simple verse outa The Bible "Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training"(1 Corinthians 9:25).  ......always...alwayss.....keep improving.  even when your 90 yeears old, theres always going to be someone out there that will be placed your wait that teaches you something you've never heard of , thought of, or dreamed of in your entire life.  Maybe you'll be that one person that has the opportunity to tell the rest of the world and change others...................................... love and peace   D
