Treatment

Hello Readers,

I recently watched a very good movie which involved the treatment of other human beings. The movie showed how people are racially profiled not only for the color of their skin but for the clothes they wear or who they hang around. Also I recently read a story about how our First Lady Michelle Obama was treated by her roommate at Yale. Her roommate did not want to be in the same room as Michelle so the roommate called her mother to have Michelle moved to another room. Years later the mother of the roommate apologized for her behavior (I guess she never thought she would be the First Lady). I think this is the issue, that sometimes we as a people (the human race) do not think. We must be careful how we talk to others. Even I am guilty of it. We have to make a conscience effort to show love to one another and put aside our thoughts of negativity and look for the positive in all. Next time you want to view someone as different from you, it is OK because they are different from you. So treat them as you want to be treated. You never know who you are speaking to.

Excellence vs Perfection

Hello Readers,

Excellence is defined as the point of a person or thing excelling in a particular area. Excellence means putting in your 100% effort and knowing you have done your best. Excellence does not mean perfection. Perfection by definition means without any flaws. I am not sure about you but I do not know anyone who does anything to perfection. Any process of anything can always be improved. If perfection was the end goal then we would not need innovation. Something can be done with excellence and not be perfect. Remember excellence is in the eye of the beholder, therefore what you put your 100% effort into will show in the long run. Most people are looking for effort and excellence not perfection. Think about it.

Who are you with?

Hello Readers,

Have you ever heard the saying “show me your five closest friends and I will tell you where you are going"? Or something similar? Well, this is a true statement. Take a minute and think about your five closet friends. I want you to examine their lives, careers, hobbies, and overall being. Do these areas fit your core values? Are they friendly to people, do they serve others, do they have a plan for life, how do they treat their family, do they love themselves? If you cannot answer these questions in a positive manner you may need to rethink who you are hanging around. The world WILL judge you by the company you keep. This does not mean do not talk to people, it simply means to be mindful of who you call a friend. Always remember the sum total of those you hang around will tell where you are headed, therefore examine and take action.

Extra tidbit: Notice I did not mention to examine your friends financial status, because it is not how much you make, it is how you spend what you make, but that is another blog post :)

Something to think about. Your thoughts are welcome...

Happiness is creating memories

Hello Readers,

As I sit here at the dealership waiting on my car to get serviced, I am thinking back on my week. Here is a quick glimpse: I received two birthday surprises, one at work and the other by my husband and close friends, I dressed up as a well-known celebrity for a trivia game, I watched my son take his first set of senior pictures, I participated in a youth lock in which had a special twist, I ministered to grateful men in prison, and that is just the big stuff. I do not mention all these to brag, I mention these to say yes even though I had a very busy week it is these types of activities I mentioned that bring me true happiness. Sure I like to shop and have materialistic things, but creating memories brings me the best feeling. The events that happened this week all brought me a sense of joy and happiness and I could not have asked for them to be any different. Being tired is only a small piece of how I feel. The total sum of how I feel is… simply full.

How are you creating memories?
