What is the secret? Just the word “money” by itself holds power over us. We all want it, and it usually is never enough for most of us … we want more. How can we create and manifest more of this commodity? Does it mean we have to work harder or spend more hours working? Does it mean we need to look at things differently with a new perspective?
It’s interesting, to say the least, to have a conversation with someone, and walk away from it only to discover later that you each have a different perspective on what was said. Therefore, it’s no surprise that how we communicate today can lead to even greater confusion, hard feelings, misunderstandings, and more.
You most likely have heard various expressions about beauty, such as “beauty is as beauty does” or “beautiful inside and out.” But the term that made me stop and ponder is the expression “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”
When I first shared with a friend that I was tired of my monotonous way of living and that what I really needed to do was go on an adventure, she looked at me in surprise.
Most of us easily express gratitude daily when we say “thank you” to someone for something they have given us or have done for us. But the truth is, we often say it more like a responsive habit without much feeling or thought.
Many of us are sitting with ourselves, trying to figure out the best way to fill our time now that any normal routine seems to be out of the question. We live in such turmoil and with impossible situations today that are beyond our control, for the most part!
Who doesn’t want to feel good about themselves, and what is going on in their life? Yet, many times something pops up in what others may say or think about us that brings us to a low point, and we wonder what life is all about. Some of us may even wonder if life is worth living. When we reach that point, it forces us to re-assess where we are and how we got to that place.
When is the last time you did a happy dance? That dance that reminds you and lets anyone watching you know that life is good? When is the last time you looked into a mirror and ignored your wrinkles and other marks of living a stressful life and were able to exclaim out loud, “You‘ve got it going, girl?”
There are different methods of how we can create and they are personal for each of us, which makes life so interesting. The unusual thing about creativity to me is that I am most creative when I don’t think – when I let ideas and thoughts pass through me and am clever enough to write them down when I am sitting before my computer or have paper and pen available for writing, which is my passion.
Resilience meant so many more things to me when I was younger. Now when I think of the word resilience or its meaning of flexibility, the first thought that flashes through my mind is whether someone, particularly my age, has the ability to easily bend down and touch their toes --- and get back up again! That is what age can do for you! It’s all about perspective, right?
