Out of the Mouths of Babes!

Good Morning!

Last week we thought through and learned something from the Masters...

Now let's learn something from the kids!

I love seeing and hearing music that promotes a positive message...

Really listen!



Great message

Now another!




Isn't it delightful to see a positive message related to persistence and hope?

We need more of that...

It reminds me that every generation has an advocacy of hope...

Heaven help our species if we ever lose it!

That attitude alone is a ray of sunshine in a rather bleak existence...

We need to learn a lesson from these kids...

The lesson that we know...but seldom really practice...that being...a positive attitude and constant persistence pays off...

All too often we get into our own little world and believe that our way is the only way...

Some times we get fixated on the failures rather than the challenges!

Or we find that things didn't turn out as we had planned and look for others to blame rather than taking responsibility for the outcome...

Why is this?

Let's look at the situation from an "out of the box" perspective...

The Tale of Two Paychecks

There are two paychecks that we receive regularly...

One has a monetary amount...and because of that...it is the one that draws our attention...

The other paycheck is much more subtle and actually more significant than the first...

The second paycheck is more easily described by stopping dead in your tracks and looking at your current situation...

Are you employed...do you have the job you want?

Are people shouting your praises?

Are your relationship blossoming?

Do you have countless friends that you can count upon for help?

I could go on for a long time...but you get the picture...

What I am describing is the paycheck of cause and effect...actually not...but my extension of this equation...IMPACT!

If you have failed or are failing...it is time that you realize that it is noone's fault but your own...

You are the one to blame...if you think otherwise...

...You are deceiving yourself!

Your past actions have created your present situation...

It is simple cause and effect!

The important part of the entire equation is what follows...

What IMPACT does your present situation have upon you?

If your motives were self-serving...you are going to find yourself relatively alone!

If your motives were altruistic...you will find help and support...

Count yourself lucky if you find the latter!

That is one of those rays of sunshine!

Many people are receiving paychecks that definitely do not deserve them...they are self-serving and hurtful people...

Some have so deceived themselves that they are even acting that way under the guise of righteousness!

They are thieves!

The fact is that those paychecks are limited...and will run out!

I am confident that their real paycheck will someday land in their mailbox!

As we think deeper...

There is a long chain of cause and effect created from the point of your conception...

There is no avoiding it...it is what it is...

You have built your present and blaming anyone but yourself is childish and immature...

You can sit and sing a sad song or you can sing a song of hope...

I recent posted the following little axiom on FaceBook...

Forget your mistakes...Remember what you have learned from them...

I have all to frequently watched people make the same mistakes over and over...

They will never learn...they are an embarrassment to the human species...

I choose not to embarrass my species...do you?

Learn from your errors...and change your behaviors...

If you do that...like the second song...you're half-way there!

Enough Said!
