We can go through life repeatedly going down the same path and one day suddenly see something new to us, that has been there all along. Don’t get stuck thinking you have everything figured out. Keep your eyes open and suddenly you will see something new. Be creative, embrace new ideas. Creativity is in your DNA. You were made to be creative. Artists and writers are not the only ones creative; engineers, attorneys, plumbers, electricians, janitors, and clerks are all creative.
Words-Are-Powerful
The words we speak have enormous power to tear down or to build up. Children are affected the rest of their lives. They internalize words like “You will never amount to anything.” or ” That picture you drew was awesome”. We also speak to ourselves and either curse or build up. “I can’t sing” or “Good things are happening all around me”. Also, others are affected by our words whether they hear them or not. “You drive like an idiot, you need a ticket” or “She looks depressed, a great circumstance will change her life today”. Choose your words carefully, your words are powerful.
Inner-Circle
A high performing leader needs an inner circle. Start with one person but expand to two or three. Don’t try and fulfill the highest purpose you were created for without input from people with talent that you don’t have.
Ideas-Success
We say action speaks louder than words, however, words are required before action. Remember words and action are only two of the components of success.
Ideas prompt thoughts, thoughts crystalize into words, words produce action, action of key people create success.
Words-Are-Powerful
Words can tear down or build up. For example you can tell a child “You will never amount to anything” or you can say “I see you have an ear for music.”
When you see a penny on the sidewalk you can pick it up and say “Money is coming to me today.” Or you can walk on by and think “I’m too good to stop and pick up something so insignificant.”
You can tell your spouse “You are amazing and you look stunning.” or you can say “I can tell you didn’t get much done today.”
The words you choose are more powerful than you can imagine.
Be-Anxious-For Nothing
Problems at one year old are as important as problems to a 50 year old.
Make-Music
Life is short. Look and listen for music where ever you are.
Think about your next move.
Play chess when others are playing checkers.
Fine-art-lives
We think the best art is copied from life. But life is art, it’s the best art. A beautiful sunset is art and it is like a panoramic movie. It’s one of a kind every day. No two are exactly alike. All of life is like that, it’s art. Fine art lives because every time you look at it you see it in a new way.
Walking-through-life
When life is difficult and putting one foot in front of the other is hard then we have to watch our step and go slow. When the season changes and things are going well, lift up your head and look down the path.
Stay on the path and pick up the pace. Don’t get stuck in your old ways. When the path is clear, it is your chance to run.
