When we stop seeing the potential in our life, life stops offering us opportunity.

But What Do We Know

“When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

Today was one of those days that it paid off to not give up. To stay true to that which I knew could be accomplished. We sometimes stop when it appears as if things aren’t going the way we would like them. We state the facts and justify why this won’t work or maybe why that didn’t happen. However, maybe if we just dig in a little longer, ask for other ways to pursue a situation. Not be afraid to ask for help or others to step up and to commit to the process then we might change that one thing that all the signs seemed to say wouldn’t work out. In a meeting recently someone implied if this would a great idea someone would have done it already. I wonder how many time that has been said and then later there it is, and the person that made the comment is wishing they would have pursued it. Just because nobody has done it doesn’t mean its a bad idea or it can’t be done. Follow your gut, take risks and never ever give up.

I have been working on a new project for a non profit and our site should be going live tomorrow. http://www.lendusyourear.org/ is focused on offering information about non-profits and charities with the power of audio from all aspects of the organization. We will have audio from the participants, the sponsors and the volunteers. Our first inititative is the Avon Walk in which we will be going to all 9 cities and collecting audio. Each person involved in this cause has an incredible reason for being a part of this campaign. As we gather this information we will also be able to spread the word about what it has to offer. It has been a crazy few weeks leading up to this regardless it is worth the wait. Sometimes we need to be patient..

We may not be able to change the path we have went down, however we can change the path we create today.

One of the challenges in life is learning to accept people with their history. There were situations before us that alter the way people react to situations today, in work, friendships and relationships. The way we respond to situations today is affect by what we experienced in the past. Our past shapes us and those we encounter. I know sometimes we react in a situation based on the past not the present. No one wants to have their past brought up forever, however we also can’t ignore the past and keep making the same mistakes. We can learn to be understanding, forgive our own past mistakes, and accept others past mistakes and both try to grow beyond them. Who we are is based on where we have been and what we have decided to bring with us from our past. This makes up our person and helps determine our future.

We get to decide who we become. We all come from different places, circumstances and families, however where we end up and the path we take is determined by what we are willing to put into our lives. There are those that are born into great situations, however, what they do from there is up to the choices they make. Likewise there are those that are born into less than perfect situations and make choices that shape and change not only their lives, yet those of lives around them. We may not get to decide where, when and to which family we are born, however we do have the power to make choices and those choices shape our lives. Each day we can reflect on our day and recognize that what we have done and what we can do differently the next day. Happiness, success, peace, security are all the result of our choice we make and where we allow life to take us. In any given moment you can alter the path you are on and redefine where your life is taking you. Our life wasn’t meant to be lived on cruise control, it was meant to be an interactive course that allows us to navigate the path we are on and where we end up. This is my inspired thought today.
