monday morning musing: committing acts of kindness

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

What can YOU do?

I met someone recently who deeply inspires me.  Lisa Metwaly has begun a Global Kindness Initiative and is actively spreading the idea of kindness.  I want to join her for the month of December and I want you to join us!  Simply post your act of kindness on her blog here.  I just posted my first one!  Post as often as you want.  Prizes are in the works and you are entered into the drawing each time you leave a comment!  (Including something from Delta Airlines!)  (If you live in the Twin Cities, visit her "Q Kindness Cafe" in downtown St. Paul.  Really!  She has a restaurant with a kindness theme!)

monday morning musing: a day for gratitude

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious priviledge it is to be alive; to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love" 

~Marcus Aurelius
 

We often forget, don't we?  Just being alive, breathing, thinking, loving, it is all a gift.  This Thanksgiving, and everyday thereafter, be sure to pause and remember the amazing gift life is.

monday morning musing: it's just an opportunity!

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

It is all just an opportunity

What if there was no “failure”?  What if any perceived “failure” is always about learning and strengthening yourself?  Like a baby learning to walk.  When they fall do you think, “Oh, that’s too bad.  They failed!”  Of course, not!  AND it is in picking themselves up that they give themselves the necessary strength in their legs and arms to walk.  So perhaps “opportunity” is a better word?  What if you saw every “failure” as an opportunity to learn?  To pick yourself up, get stronger, and do it BETTER the next time!  Doesn’t THAT feel good?

Here is a famous “failure”.  Have you ever thought of him as a failure? Enjoy!

monday morning musing: let's lose the word "failure"

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Lose the word "failure"

I think we need to chat about "failure". In fact, be prepared for a two-part series on it because I am a bit frustrated! :-)  (Forgive the quotes -- I will only use quotes when discussing this word.  You'll know why in a moment!)  I have been hearing far too much about "failure" lately and I am here to put a stop to this mindless chatter!  I propose we take the word out of our vernacular entirely.  The word just makes us feel bad and keeps us from moving forward.  (I have an idea about failure - -read next week to see!)  What is "failure" anyway?  Not living up to your expectations?  Not living up to your expectations?  Not living up to other people's expectations?  Worried what other people will think?  Worried about money?  What is it precisely that bothers you?  Then got over it!  If you never "fail", you have never done anything out of your box.  You MUST watch the Feel Good Moment today -- it is awesome!

  This video is one of my favorites!  I saw it first on FB and couldn't get the source to share it with all of you.  I was thrilled to find it on YouTube!  Enjoy!
