Trashy...

Since my children were little they have been picking up random pieces of trash and cleaning up the world one piece at a time. The other day I picked up something I found on the ground and thought wouldn't it be nice if we each picked up one thing when we see it, we would have a cleaner world. Of course it would be nice if there wasn't trash to pick up but since we don't live in a perfect world, lets be kind to mother nature and not look for blame. It only takes each of us one present moment to make a difference...

Blame Free...

"A Blame Free World"

As I was listening to a book on tape http://www.amazon.com/Daring-Greatly-Courage-Vulnerable-Transforms/dp/1592407331 in the car she was talking about a "blame free world", and I thought wouldn't that be awesome. It certainly is something to strive for in each of our own lives and if we each did our part, we would be well on our way to offering our children and generations to come "a blame free world". What a legacy to pass on!

Destiny...

"We get side tracked in life by so many people who squash our dreams, but in reality it’s not them, it’s US squashing our dreams, by accepting their opinion and assessment of the situation, instead of making our opinion and self-approval, what matters most."

words borrowed from; The Daily Love

I've done this so many times in my life, gotten side tracked and let another's opinion squash my dreams. They only had to say one negative thing and that was all I needed to hear. It was what I was already feeling and their words just gave me the excuse to tell myself I was right all along. But ultimately it is not them or anyone else that is to blame. My destiny is in my hands and we each speak from our own story and experience and their experience is not mine nor mine theirs. 

Self-love + self-approval = my destiny!
