Lean forward into your life. Begin each day as if it were on purpose.

Protect your vision. Prevail over adversity. Persevere in the midst of turmoil. Passionately act upon your convictions. Purposely walk into the day.

RESPONSIBILITY: Fulfill the obligations that the past posts to me. Embrace the opportunity for service based in love.

I like to talk about a thing I call a "practiced pause." Just a few moments of pausing allows me to consider a circumstance and take stock of what the best direction might be. Reactions tend to rise from habit and unconsidered action. A Response is considered and thoughtful. My actions are my own and I am, singularly, responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.

At the end of a matter ask, "What will I learn from this to make me better?"

May a thread of comfort be woven through your difficult days.

I awakened. is that not a wonderful statement?
