Where are you headed today?

If it is true that your thoughts drive your life — something that I do believe — then the big questions is, “Where am I heading? What is my next destination?” Most days feel so full of regular “stuff” that I don’t take the time to think about my next destination, my dreams and goals. I leave my compass in my desk drawer and I spin around in my chair, letting the Natural Laws of Chair Spinning to determine my next direction.
There are exponential unknowns that await each one of us. None of us know what will happen next in life. We strive to manage our expectations and to deal with disappointment. What if we just paused. Stopped the chair from going ’round and ’round. Asked ourselves, “What is it that I truly want?”
Try it. Listen to what answer bubbles to the surface. Write your answer down. Commit it to paper. To your white board. Your chalk board. You don’t need any GPS to follow your answer. Just follow your heart. Allow yourself some movement. Get up out of your chair and dance. Do anything that gets you moving. Let your happy thoughts drive your life. What do you have to lose other than getting yourself lost in some new territory? Let your thoughts drive your life to your dream destination.

There are always going to be those times Continue reading

Autumn is here and “the weather” is officially transitioning into a new gap — a “fortunate combination” of longer nights, shorter days, weaker sunshine, and cooler breezes. The sun has lost some of its edge and the sunsets are migrating south — streaking the sky with their palette of perfection.
I sometimes wonder how so many days can slip by me with so little recall of significant events. Perhaps this is nature’s way of easing me into a new gap of deliberate appreciation. The inevitable onset of winter Continue reading
