Challenge Anyone?

Some people love to have a physical challenge to know they have conquered that goal.  Some love a mental challenge like spelling bees to feel the thrill of conquests.  I don’t know about you – but I really do like to challenge myself  personally to live each day as a better version of myself than the day before.  I like when I can lay my head down at night and know that I have done the best I could with what I was handed in this world called life.  Easy?  hmmmmm….NO!  Some days I want to bury my head in a pillow and either scream or cry……….the better question would be…….Challenging?  and the answer would be a resounding YES!!!!….but I like to be challenged in the emotional sense as well as physically and mentally.  I like to learn, grow, be stretched as a human and know that I am evolving into a better me. Not a better someone else but a better ME 🙂  –  You see, if we stop growing emotionally, we stop.  Game over.  Stagnant water.  Complacency.  Motionless.  Personally and emotionally we can become all of those things and our mind can just become dormant.  That’s personally how we become single minded or close minded.  I pray that I always have the heart to be challenged – to always have the hope in a world that doesn’t look hopeful at times, to keep the faith when things seem like they are falling apart and to spread love when I might be the only one spreading love at that moment.  Even more so, to show love in a hateful world.  Ouch.  Now that’s challenging.  And there are times I fail at that. Then I pick myself up – knowing I too, need help in that area and need to grow.  But I am willing to take the challenge and grow my personal and emotional muscles.  Are you with me?  Let’s spread kindness to people who might not be kind.  Let’s smile and make a difference.  Let’s do it randomly even when others are not.

 

Let’s enjoy life – Have hope – Keep Faith – Spread Love

Have a wonderful Friday!

Wait? Are you worthy?

I know we do not go up to people we know or don’t know and ask the question……”are you worthy of my presence”, or me talking to you or my time, attention, etc?  But do we give off that attitude?  Ever?  Listen, I believe the key to self growth is evaluation of ourselves – the old looking in the mirror and that – my friend – is not always the easiest, fun or top priority on our list.  But, do we want to be approachable ?  Loving?  Kind?  A person that is thought of that has love, patience, and acceptance?  Or  a heart that has hate, judgment, an unforgiving heart or just a know it all attitude.  Our job really is just to love.  We truly do not know what other people are going through in their life, at the moment we meet them – even if we know them – what they are going through if they are keeping it inside.  True love breaks down barriers and lets healing begin.  It covers, protects and makes people feel safe and worthy.  And we all know those are wonderful feelings.  We have the power to make that happen for others – and yes, the real power is when they don’t really deserve because they are going through something and are acting out and our tenderness speaks to them.  Think about it.  Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Until next time – remember – Enjoy Life — Have Hope/Keep Faith/Spread Love
