Wednesdsy Wisdom

Seed tomorrow with wise perfection today

In the past I’ve written about receiving daily messages from the Universe. They remind me, inspire me, challenge me, hold me accountable, and often kick me upside the head. I received this one and immediately sighed:

Maybe it’s not just about finding the perfect friend, partner, or tribe, Marilynn, but finding the perfection in those you’ve already found.

Speaks to all of us, doesn’t it?!

Life is calling . . . Today’s the day . . . Make this moment matter!!

Seed tomorrow with wise choices today

There are people who lived lives worth reading about. For me, Eleanor Roosevelt is one of them. Among her many memorable statements, I often think of this one:

I am who I am today because of choices I made yesterday.

So, it makes sense to think through our decisions today . . . and every day.

Wednesday Wisdom

Seed tomorrow with wise choices today

This month, both of our beautiful daughters turn a page in the story of their lives. Like many parents, their birthdays have become sacred to me. I’m completely aware of how profoundly blessed I am that they traveled through me, then offered lessons beyond my imagination. Within their busy lives, I now cherish and savor every moment we have with them. And, I do so with intent attention. Therefore, when Leslie Charles recently shared this statement, it made me weep with appreciation:

Hanging out with your grown up kids is like hanging out with the best parts of yourself.

Looking back, Curt and are honest in acknowledging the things we wish we would have done differently, the wisdom we wish we had when they were younger, the moments we would take back immediately, if we had the chance – we’re cognizant of our human imperfections. However, it only takes a few minutes with these two deeply wise, compassionate, generous spirits to acknowledge that they rose above our flaws and human errors to extract the intent of what we most sincerely wanted to offer them. If they are even a slight mirror to our essence, we breathe a huge sigh of reprieve.

Happy, Happy Birthday to our most profound teachers and examples of lives lived well.

Seed tomorrow with wise behaviors today

Before leaving to work in Birmingham Alabama for the first time, Curt and I enjoyed attending the wonderful wedding of a colleague. Terry Brock, colleague and friend, traveled from Florida to share in the same celebration of love.

Coincidentally, the day after the wedding, I ran across Terry’s words about Peter Drucker’s Managing Oneself, a short book packed with multiple gems of wisdom that are relevant for all of us. Here’s an example:

Do not try to change yourself—you are unlikely to succeed. But work hard to improve the way you perform. And try not to take on work you cannot perform or will only perform poorly.

Work on behaviors, actions, performance, and work within your areas of strength. Although Peter is no longer with us physically, these notions are all the rage. Thank you, Peter – the book has been ordered!

Seed tomorrow with wise choices today

There are, and have been many prolific speakers whose words extend far beyond their own personal world. Zig Ziglar was one of them. Every now and then I run across one of his statements for the first time. Grateful I stumbled upon this one a few days ago:

F-E-A-R has two meanings: Forget Everything and Run, or Face Everything and Rise.  The choice is yours.

Now, if I can just remember these words in moments of consuming concern.

Life is calling . . . Today’s the day . . . Make this moment matter!!
