What if we strived to rise up higher no matter what happens today? It takes little effort to stand taller, breath deeper, smile bigger, raise expectations, let small things go, be better.
We have a choice when the sun comes up to let our light shine with it. Nothing can darken our light if it shines from within. Any challenge that comes our way is just an opportunity to rise to the occasion. Let us shine brighter and rise to a higher level today. When we stop planning for the future, we send ourselves a subconscious alert that we are done. Building a future shows we are invested. It demonstrates we are here to stay, making a difference and excited to be alive.
It’s inspiring to think about what we are going to do over the holidays, where we are going to go on our next vacation, what new goals we plan to accomplish next year. Otherwise, we feel we are at the end of the road. Let us build our future by crafting and creating it today. A legacy is the entire body of knowledge, service, inspirations, leadership and work we contribute. Our legacy is what we leave behind that is threaded into the lives of others.
We won’t live forever but what we leave behind will, especially the things that are woven into the lives of others and the next generation. It may take a lifetime to build a legacy. It’s something we must work on every single day. Let us keep our eye on the bigger picture and contribute to our legacy today. Obstacles are things that divert us from our path. Maybe they get in our way to help us figure out what is really important or help us set priorities in our lives.
We can either stop, hit rock bottom and splatter. Or we can find a new way, pull ourselves together and bounce back up. When we view an obstacle as a perception of a masked opportunity, we become stronger. Let us see any obstacle in our way as our destined path for today. Anything that gets done starts with a glimmer of hope. When we can see hope and feel hopeful, anything becomes possible.
Because we are leaders and influencers, we must offer hope. No matter how big or small, if there is an inclination to lose hope, we must find the strength to push through or try one more time. Hope has the power to be optimistic even when we feel hopeless. Let us give others more hope than what they had previously because of our actions and words today. When we have a compelling reason for why we do what we do, whatever we do matters. It has greater meaning. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t matter to anyone else as long as it matters to us.
To matter is to be of significance or importance. Once we are secure in knowing what matters, we are more inclined to enjoy it and be open to whatever happens with greater ease. It’s easier to be more lighthearted and filled with love and laughter. Let us be true and open to see and stick to what matters most today. Wildflowers grow wherever the wind blows the seeds. Once the seed opens and takes root, it aimlessly starts to grow. It intrinsically knows to turn towards the sun, take in the nutrients from the ground, absorb any moisture it can find and magically start to bloom.
It’s a great example of how to cultivate happiness wherever we are. Make do with what you got and be grateful. We can do what we can, with what we have, wherever we are. Let us bloom wherever we are planted today. Keeping our word is the easiest thing we can do to build faith in ourselves. When our actions reflect our word, we are trustworthy, credible, reliable. Then, everything else falls into place because we are what we do, not what we say we will do.
If our faith in ourselves is unshakable, it’s easy to build a bond with others. Once there’s a bond, all we need to do is say “yes” and others know our bond is unbreakable. Let us keep our word so we know and everyone else knows our word is as good as gold today. |
