Do Life Big!

I often tend to underestimate the power of positive thought and attitude, to the point where I think its almost ridiculous.  Its so hard when reality is filled with negative things that we so readily identify with, why? because our minds have been trained that way since antiquity.  We learn through negative experiences, we easily remember something bad than we do something good.

We have to get over that negative hump, which requires a whole lot of positive thinking and emotions if we want to do life big.

I write my blogs to help me remember to be positive and DO LIFE BIG

Fervor and Not Fear

With fervor, that angel came after me, he chased me with such urgency!

I was afraid, sorely afraid, because I could not tell what it was!

Batman? A man-bat? I could not discern, and I ran as fast as I could.

My long, lanky legs took me over fences, walls, under bridges

Behind the middle house in the cul de sac at the end of Cameron Drive.

I didn’t see that wretched root, as I scaled the 4 foot white picket fence.

I fell, face planted more like it! I didn’t hear the “snap”, I didn’t feel it!

The adrenaline coursing my veins, my fright and flight response!

The screamed in unison, “Get up you ass, run! run!” and I tried.

But I fell again.  Disabled, nowhere to run, I postured to defend!

But he saw that I was hurt, damaged, and he looked at me.

His eyes stripped me to the core of my soul, but not with judgment.

But with knowing and understanding. My eyes met his, without fear.

I too understood and I surrendered, I needed him, to fix me, heal me.

In that speechless moment, I had no choice but to trust him.

He tended to my wounds, defiant in silence, that lack of spoken word.

But that would soon end, for once he healed me, he spoke.

His voice resonated with in my heart, it rumbled like thunder,

Yet, it was clear and crisp, cool as resplendent water flowing wistfully in a meadow brook.

He spoke of my life, and the directions I must choose.

My power is absolutely the power of choice!

Fear is my disability, if I choose to let it rule my choices, and I don’t.

He asked, what would you do if you were not afraid?

I would never fail! I would be excellent! I would conquer all obstacles.

“Take Us To Tomorrow”

I loved the theme behind to movie “The Croods”.   Follow your dreams, light your way, follow the sun! All are simple and amazing mantras that we never get tired of hearing or nor applying to our lives.  They have been true since the beginning of time.

You and I are the Masters of our destinies, I have observed my eldest brother all my life, and I must admit that he is an inspiration to me.  He has not had the easiest life, but through it all, he has never lost sight of his dreams, his passion.  I admire him for his adaptability in tough times, the fact that he never blames society or anyone else for his position, but he continues to “shine” his way.

The theme song for the movie, entitled “Shine Your Way”  has a message of hope.  Hope is the one feeling, the one emotion that keeps us going day to day.  Hope for tomorrow, my favorite verse in the song states “all of your tears will dry faster in the sun, starting today”, is actually a call to action.  It is telling you to stop feeling sorry for yourself and look to the future, your failure today is not enough to keep you from tomorrow.

We all must shine our way, especially when its dark and you have no clue what to do or where to go.  My advice, point your compass toward the sun, and take yourself to TOMORROW.  Here is to hope for the future.
