It is so easy to get so frustrated with a situation, you sit back, and take on an attitude of “whatever”….
Don’t look for excuses to say “I can’t” If you let your situation control or you fear failure, you will not be able to feel enthusiastic about anything, Take on any project with a firm conviction that you will succeed.

We are all unique personalities. Be respectful of others and learn to get along with people of all types.
Do you believe you are never alone? I do.
Be grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude,. you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.

The turning point is now. Life is a sequence of moments called now. You have the key to turn yourself around.

Seasons come and go. We accept that, especially when you live in a country like Canada with four seasons, we get to see the end of winter, when the fields are dormant and still waiting for the sun to warm the earth so that new growth will begin … then spring when everything has changed into a world of greens and colour as the early bloomers peak out into the sunshine. Summer is again a different look, you wouldn’t even see the much of the ground because there is growth everywhere. Fall begins when the vibrant reds, orange, and yellows start to paint the landscape with the the cornucopia of autumn colours that blend in against the various greens that are sported by the evergreens.
There is also a different reality,…… the seasons that life takes us through….. from youth, to middle age to maturity…. the seasons vary from individuals, in my case, I seem to have gone from one to the other without much thought. Everyday is LIFE. That said, suddenly one day I realized that my head space was still in one season, but my physical abilities had undergone a serious “time change” What happened?
The wonders of LIFE.
Have a good day everyone,
You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task When you face your tasks with a can- do attitude, you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration.

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you will discover will be wonderful. What you will discover is yourself.

Good morning, Bom Dia – Saturday
Making your way through the maze of details that need attending after an accident of a vehicle.
Insurance, claims, adjusters, customer service, sales, research collecting data, processing data, yada yada yada.
It is not a disaster, it is an opportunity for me to review my performance abilities, and use my creativity to unravel and get through the experience, one step at a time. Most important is that I do my best to meditate on what I can do differently, or what I need to work harder on to improve my skills/tools so that it doesn’t happen again.
PL calendar – day 6
Past, present, or future, always remember to be sincere and honest (to one’s self)
At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. at each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status.

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his/her goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude” Thomas Jefferson
When the Lakota leader Sitting Bull was asked by a white reporter why his people loved and respected him, Sitting Bull replied by asking if it was not true that among white people a man is respected because he has many horses, many houses? When the reporter replied that was indeed true, Sitting Bull then said that his people respected him because he kept nothing for himself.” –Joseph Bruchac – Photograph: Orlando Scott GoffGood
Good morning everyone, I found this in my research today. It was posted 4 years ago on the Parabola (The Search for Meaning) site on tumblr.
How well said, and so simply .. it brings us back once more to the individuality of each of us, and how our cultures shape our thinking.
However that said, we are not back living in a time when the differences were not known, researched, studied, and documented. This is 2016 an electronic age, we can sit in our homes and watch documented reports of what is going on around us. There are thousands of published reports, books, magazines, videos and spoken story books. There is no reason for us to not know about our neighbours.
“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison.
Because of this, we had no delinquents.
Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.”
— John (Fire) Lame Deer.

Just some food for thought to go along with your coffee. I find it extremely interesting and thought provoking that no matter who we are, or what our backgrounds are, we ALL strive for peace and want it in our lives.
Everyone we meet, lives with us, under the same sky, reach out with an act of kindness today. A smiles goes a long way…….
Namaste – Oyashikiri
