Resistance...

"If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it." - Olin Miller


It's been snowing here. I like it when it snows because it makes my noon walks more productive. You see, the snow provides resistance when I walk. The more resistance, the more my legs and lower torso have to work, the stronger they get.

Some resistance is good, but not all. Resisting change is one thing that we all tend to battle with from time to time. But if we defeat that resistance and breakthrough - it's there that our beings become stronger.

Don't be closed-minded and resistant to change. Look at the positives and not just the negatives to every change...

Freedom...

"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide." - Napoleon Bonaparte

We have the freedom to chose in EVERY situation whether or not we think we have the freedom to do so. Some may say, "Well, if I am robbed at gunpoint I have no freedom to chose." This is true but you can make the choice of giving up your stuff willingly and without crying or you can choose to try and be the hero and possibly get shot.

We make choices everyday, some good and some bad. We need to remember that in EVERY situation we have a choice. If there is a situation where there is no obvious choice we need to dig a little deeper as the choices are not always crystal clear.

Choose today to do the best you can, be the best you can in ALL situations...

"Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond." - Jeffrey Borenstein

Attitude...

"If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want." - Oscar Wilde

Attitude does affect all aspects of your life. Discouragement, apathy, uselessness - all are culprits that can get us off track. When these attitudes creep into your life, you need to reach deep down inside and find the strength to change your outlook. Think of accomplishments, think of your future.

You have control over your actions AND your attitudes...


"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes." - William James
