What Are You Becoming?

We Become What We Think

In his book, The Magic of Thinking Big,  author David Schwartz  writes, the evidence it out. You are what you think you are, what your thought power directs you to become.

If you think you are weak, that you lack, that you are less than, that you will lose…….than you are domed to living a mediocre life.
OR
If you think you are strong, what you do is important, you have what it takes, you are enough, your life matters…… than you are headed to a life that thrives.

Which best describes your recent thought pattern of yourself?

The Race

As I think about life over the last 6 weeks I am reminded of running a ½ marathon. Stay with me……

I have participated in several ½ marathons and no matter what number it is, I am always nervous and anxious before the start of each race.

Once I find my pace at about mile 2 or 3, nervousness is replaced with rhythm and a greater since of peace that lasts until about mile 7 or 8. At this point of the race my adrenaline has slowed down, I am checking in with my body to identify how it’s holding up, and I become very aware that I am still about 6 miles out from the finish. It would be easy to say to myself,

Make Today Count

Continuing to find hope

Over the last year, I have slowly added 10 pounds to my waistline and for the last six months I have been telling myself that mirrors and tight clothing do not lie… and action needs to be taken.  Week after week I would promise myself to start something next week….sadly, next week would come and I would still put it off.

“TODAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR A GOOD DAY” reads a picture hanging in my home office. This reminder has been a thorn in my side on the days when it seems easier to give up and give in, but these words have more often been words that remind and inspire me to MAKE TODAY A GOOD DAY.

What’s Next

Finding Hope Looking Forward
The Benefits of Hugs and Handshakes

Today we continue to live with the many uncertainties the pandemic has invited into all our lives. These uncertainties cultivate many questions about our future.

One question I have been asked a lot lately is, “When this is all over, will we go back to shaking hands or will I ever feel comfortable giving and receiving hugs again”? As I thought about this concern, I tried to wonder what it would be like to live in a world with no human touch.

I remember not so long ago learning about a research that was done on premature babies in NIC Units.  The study addressed the importance of human touch during the first several days after premature babies were born. 

Hope for Today

Want to replace worry and fear with hope and happiness?

Over the last few weeks our world has experienced many changes and we all have been affected differently by the uncertainties of the Covid-19 virus.


Is it possible for good to come out of this experience?

During times of challenge and difficulty the idea of being grateful may not be the first thought that comes to mind.  In fact, becoming consumed by the daily negativity that reminds us of what we do not have control over can be easy to get caught up in. But……. focusing on and giving thanks for what we do have will help us to find hope ….
