Thursday Thought

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs

Now to DO IT!

Thursday Thought...Life is good!

"If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back." Regina Brett

This is Nathan's shoe, he is working hard and loving it!

Summer Reading

I just finished reading "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" by Donald Miller.  Loved it!  The basic idea of the book is "Story", and going about creating a good one.  Here's a quote from the book: "If I have a hope, it's that God sat over the dark nothing and wrote you and me, specifically, into the story, and put us in with the sunset and the rainstorm as though to say, Enjoy your place in my story. The beauty of it means you matter, and you can create within it even as I have created you."
One more favorite quote from the book:

 "The most repeated commandment in the Bible is "Do not fear."  It's in there over two hundred times.  That means a couple of things, if you think about it.  It means we are going to be afraid, and it means we shouldn't let fear boss us around.  Before I realized we were supposed to fight fear, I thought of fear as a subtle suggestion in our subconscious designed to keep us safe, or more important, keep us from getting humiliated.  And I guess it serves that purpose.  But fear isn't only a guide to keep us safe; it's also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life." 

So I've been thinking lately; What's MY story?

Thursday Thought

"Remember, a good attitude produces good results, a fair attitude fair results, a poor attitude poor results.  We each shape our own life, and the shape of it is determined largely by our attitude."
Elder M. Russell Ballard

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thought and have frequent need to remember it.
