On Being Independent...

Blog quote #1166... 
"In all things, be willing to listen to people around you. None of us is really smart enough to go it alone." -John Clendenin, teacher-   

While some of us get in that superhero mindset at times, the facts are as Mr. Clendenin  states above. As good as we are, everyone needs help. No one on this planet is independent. 

Thanks for the quality reminder, John.

When seeking good ideas; do this...

Blog quote #1165... 
"If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.." -Raymond Inman-   

Personal experience will say we agree with this statement. Worst case scenario- you get out with nature, some fresh air and a wee bit of exercise. Even if the angels are being  stingy, there's plenty of other benefits to go along with a gentle stroll.

With that stated, keep your ears and mind open. The angels like to delight...

Who are the happiest people?

Blog quote #1164... 
"The happiest people are not the ones who have everything. The happiest people are those who are thankful for what they DO have." -Ruth Urban 1914-2009 -   

There is something about gratitude and appreciation that gives us a warm heart. On the flip side, those always looking to attain more have this tired feeling of no matter how much is accumulated, it's never satisfying. Not good enough. That gets mentally draining. 

We suggest to give thanks for what we have, versus dwelling on what's not in our possession. And then, you will possess one of the greatest things to hold- that of joy and contentment. Aahhhhh...

Life's Best Prize

Blog quote #1163... 
"The best prize life offers is the chance to work hard, at work worth doing." -Teddy Roosevelt-   

Something refreshing about diving into work that you are excited about, proud of, and  willing to stamp your signature on. Work that matters and makes a difference in people's lives. 

Perhaps, even go so far as calling it exhilarating?

On Making Comebacks...

Blog quote #1162... 
"Don't allow any setback to become bigger than your comeback." -Christine Caine, author and speaker-   

A truly profound and unique way of saying 'When you fall, just dust yourself off and get back up.' 

Hardships, failures and disappointments are inevitable. Just use them as learning posts and stepping stones to come back bigger, better, stronger, and smarter. 

Attention...March!

What is COURAGE?

Blog quote #1161... 
"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." -John Wayne-   

Who knew? 

Even famous tough guy American legendary cowboy hero John Wayne was even frightened and had reserves. He's human. He does, and so does every single one of us.

But as Wayne suggests...'Jump in and face your fear.' That is the best way to not only battle, but WIN against fear. Saddle up!

On Being Wrong ( it's OK!)

Blog quote #1160... 
"Don't ever be afraid to admit you were wrong. It's like saying you're wiser today than you were yesterday." -Ann Landers -   

What a superb way to look at this. Drop the ego's, admit we don't have all the answers to everything in life, and acknowledge we can always get smarter and learn from our fellow humans.  

Admitting our faults and incorrectness is actually a great strength, and sign of humbleness. And who doesn't love a humble human?
