The Difference

You and your attitude
are the difference
between an ordeal
and an adventure;
between a lesson
and a blessing;
between happy
and crappy;
between joyful acceptance
and tearful remorse;
between walking in faith
and stumbling in sight;
between positives
and negatives.
The difference
begins with you
and radiates outward.
Make a difference ...
for you
and others.

Remember This

The darkest nights
produce
the brightest stars.
When you see someone
without a smile,
give them
one of yours.
When you find a soul
that's in a rage,
sit and share
some of your peace.
When you see the opportunity
do the right thing.
In the dark,
be the bright.

Tired?

Tired?

Do you often feel tired?
It's not because
you've done too much,
but because
you've done too little
of what sparks a light
in you.

Reach Out

I did not write this.
I wish I had.
My brain is too tired to think right now and this seemed
like something some folks might need to hear.

Reach Out
to someone you know,
tell them how
they make your life better
and how
they are important to you.
It only takes a moment
to give new hope
to someone
that is trying to find light
in the darkness.

Joy

When you choose joy,
you feel good
and
when you feel good,
you do good
and
when you do good
it reminds others
of what joy
feels like
and
it just might
inspire them
to do the same.

Self

There is much to be said
for the care of one's self.
You cannot pour
from an empty cup.
You will not find someone
who makes you happy
until you make you happy.
You speak to yourself
the most;
speak kindly.
You are braver
than you believe,
stronger
than you seem,
and smarter
than you think.
You have purpose
and worth.
Fall down seven times,
stand up eight.
You are beautiful.
Take care of you.
I love you.
