5 things to do this year

Hello Readers,

I am always exploring and researching things because information intrigues me (Input is one of my strengths from Strengthfinders). However, I do not simply collect information for it to sit, I share what I learn with my readers in hopes they will pass it on as well. Here is a list of things you can do this year to help enhance your life. I found this list by reading of course. 

Enjoy!

1. Watch less T.V.

2. Only answer emails in the morning and in the evening.

3. Get up early and read, meditate, or study (I am working on this one myself)

4. Go to an amusement park with no kids, simply because you want to.

5. Start that business you have always wanted to start. Why not?

Value People

Hello readers,

During my workshops I love to ask people to share one unique thing about themselves. I ask this because I love to find out what “else” is that person interested in. One thing I have learned is people are multi-faceted, meaning they may have a passion for one thing but they dabble in a lot of things. For example, I’ve had people share with me they love to garden, read, surf, play ice hockey, shop, and even collect shoes. I love to hear the quirkiness in people, because I believe it defines the person and sets them apart from the rest of the world. I have learned to not say that someone has too many shoes or that fact that someone wants to bear hunt is weird. Why? Because I realize people need something to do, they need an outlet. One step to help become a better person is to value people for who they are and not for what they do (a core value at my church), even if it does not make sense to you.

Change

Hello Readers,

I think I have figured out why sometimes we are afraid of change. Change is the unknown and the uncomprehending. If we cannot wrap our hands around what is changing in our lives we tend to panic and become anxious. In actuality the change we are afraid of is not really scary at all. As human beings we have a natural tendency to want to know everything and not be surprised. In essence we want to be prepared for everything. I once heard a phrase that changed my life "there is a blessing in not knowing". Wow! What powerful words. My lesson learned from this is change is good. Just imagine if we did not experience change. For example, we would have the same president, we would wear the same clothes, we eat the same foods, we would visit the same cities, and that could be boring. But Marla, I am not talking about that type of change. I figured someone would say that. Guess what? Change is change (let that sink in for a moment). Change is going to happen whether you want it to or not. The big secret to being afraid of change is this: your response. How we react to the change is going to be the deciding factor. Change is good. The unknown is good. Just sit back, relax, and let change happen. It is well.

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.
