Seed tomorrow with wise challenges today

I love reading and rereading anything written my Joseph Campbell. And, every time I travel through his work, I’m inspired, challenged and called to action. Read this yesterday and immediately sensed its truth:

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

 As much as I sometimes wish this reality wasn’t true, my experiences tell me differently.

 

 

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

Learn Lavishly. Live Significantly. Leave a Legacy.

Seed tomorrow with wise doing today

This made sense the minute I read it:

You often feel tired, not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too little of what sparks a light in you.

 Is fatigue calling you?

 

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

Learn Lavishly. Live Significantly. Leave a Legacy.

Seed tomorrow with wise courage today

The first time I read these words, I reflected. A week later, when I read the same quotation I opened the dictionary and reviewed the definition of courage: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficult. A few weeks later, when the same words crossed my path a third time, I decided to share:

 Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.   ~ Anais Nin

 To self: Breathe, pause, remember your strength, and step forward.

 

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

Learn Lavishly. Live Significantly. Leave a Legacy.

Seed tomorrow with wise insecurity today

Recently, I’ve noticed that I like to be comfortable. As a matter of fact, the older I get, the more comfort and security I seek. Over a decade ago I decided it wasn’t worth buying clothes that didn’t feel like jammies and I’ve loved that decision since the moment I made it!  I like adventures; however, I’ve noticed that the security of the familiar is fabulous. Then, I read things like this:

The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.        ~  Erich Fromm

Darn . . . my comfort level is challenged again!

 

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

Seed tomorrow with wise civility today

CNN anchor Jake Tapper offered words of advice to graduating students of UMass Amherst regarding how to walk through life:

Mean is easy. Mean is lazy. Mean is self-satisfied and slothful. You know what takes effort? Being kind. Being patient. Being respectful.

Not just about being nice (however, nice works), it’s about being effective and productive; optimizing rather than diminishing human potential.

A notion that’s been around a while:

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.  ~ Aesop, 620-564 BC
