"Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible."
-Frank Gaines-
For those who have vision, and imagination- perhaps things are not truly 'invisible.'
And with vision and imagination-- many times, things that seem impossible, turn out in fact, to be --possible.
We are incredible humans with far more talents, skills, and abilities- that we give ourselves credit for. Doesn't mean it's easy tapping into them- but give it a shot...they ARE there.
Suggestion:
Do something 'insurmountable' this week, even today.
Then when you wake up tomorrow- you'll realize- you just did the impossible.
Next, repeat often and frequently.
Watch the confidence grow and the 'perceived impossibilities of past' melt before your eyes.
HMM..
That's my view....what say you?

"No one knows how to be where they are."
-Lewis Black-
Does this sound familiar to anyone? With all the cell phones, I Pads, texting, Blackberry's and other high tech stuff going on... is anyone really where they are( mentally)?
Can you say multitask.
Are people clearly tuning in-- to the conversation at hand, or is their mind in 3 different places?
Info overload anyone? Is the world moving a bit too fast?
Are we over computerized and digitized?
Anyone have thoughts on this?
I have some:
Slow down and be present where you are.
Give your undivided attention (and RESPECT) to the people you are with, or excuse yourself from their company.
Listen- with two ears and two eyes.
It's called common courtesy. Something that perhaps, our society is getting away from a bit too much. And the ironic thing is that most of the 'stuff' that's diverting out attention- really isn't that important in the grand scheme of life.
Let us all pull in the reins a bit on these machines, and get back to some basic common sense and courtesy. Be present where you are. Certainly you'd appreciate it, if others gave you the same treatment.

"One should go invited to a friend in good fortune, and uninvited in misfortune."
-Swedish Proverb-
Wow!
We took this as saying... Don't just be a 'fair weather' friend.
When things are good-- don't out of the blue,all the sudden, become your friend's best and most cherished one. Wait for them to share their good tidings and fortunes with you.
And on the flip side, don't be a stranger, when tough times come to your friend. That's probably the most important time to be by their side, in unison, with them.
Very wise Swedish words here.

"Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband-- a MONTH before she marries him, and what she thinks of him a YEAR after, and you will have the truth about him."
-H.L.Menchen-
We found this funny, yet probably much truer than one might think.
Ever hear of the 'Love is Blind theory?'
Isn't everyone great at first; then you get to know them :)
Add to that, many tend to be on their best behavior in the beginning, and, as time goes on, then tend to "return" to their true form.
For newly dating couples and budding new friendships, just putting it out there. And hat's off to those who truly remain who they are, from beginning to end.

Here's Blog Quote #530...
I've never been poor, only broke. Being poor is a state of mind. Being broke is only a temporary situation."
-Mike Todd, Film producer-
HMMM... interesting.
Yes being broke can be a temporary situation that can be altered with some effort, fortune, change of plans, etc etc.
In my opinion, the frame of mind can also be temporary-- if you choose it to be.
This is one of those quotes that I'll open up the floor to hear what your feedback is.

Here's Blog Quote # 529...
"Reflect upon your present blessings-- of which every man has many--not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."
-Charles Dickens-
Aah...a timely message from the Scrooge himself. This is a phenomenal quote to post somewhere that you frequent often. It's a tremendous reminder.
Key words here are 'MANY' and 'SOME.'
While it's true that all of us have our misfortunes and crosses to bear, we also have blessings that are plentiful. The blessings outweigh the troubles by far.
If there is any doubt of this, just for starters--go through the number of body parts and see how many of them are functioning versus not functioning. And functioning well, may we add.
That's just the beginning. Go through your assets, your possessions, your friends, your memories, and keep going. All of us have so much to be grateful for...we just need to begin thinking and focusing on those, rather than the fewer amount of setbacks and misfortunes.
Give this some thought, and it should make more and more sense, after pondering.
Thanks Charles- for the reminder!

Blog Quote #528
Here's Blog quote #528...
"A failure is a man who has blundered but is not able to cash in on the experience."
-Elbert Hubbard-
In the middle of a wonderful book 'The Magic of Thinking Big.'
One of the chapters discusses failures and what IS a failure. More importantly it discusses that all of us experience 'temporary failures.' Things just don't always go as planned, or as smooth and perfect as we originally map them out. That's called LIFE!
The lesson here is not to use the old, "Oh well- that's the way the cookie crumbles" or "That's the way the ball bounces. It's luck or fate. nothing we can do about that."
No-- the way to success-- and avoiding failure-- is to learn from the mistake, mishaps or the roadblocks that we all run into. 'Cash in,' as Hubbard says, by taking what you can from the experience and get better next time. The best keep trying and experimenting and learning. Next time they are a little better. Again they get set back, and learn still more. Get up, keep moving and apply the lessons of each the temporary failure to future SUCCESSES.
Great advice
