Inspiration is everywhere!

There is something amazing that happens when you start to look at things differently. 

First you become aware of that statement. You begin to realize that you are looking at things during the day. You then start to be aware of your reactions to what you are observing and realize that you have intentionally changed the situation. Even if you decide not to look at it differently, you have become mindful of something that would have otherwise been the same as it always has been.

This is not an easy task by any means. It is a task that can reap huge rewards however and you don't have to do it alone. Start to surround yourself with people who bring you up, not down.Gravitate to things that bring you pleasure. Stop having reasons for returning to negative situations. Find a Facebook group that makes you laugh and subscribe to it so you get a giggle every morning and unfriend the complainers and ranters. Start filtering your soul and stop it from being bullied. You have more power than you realize.

A while ago I had a mobile home for sale that ended up having multiple offers. One of the buyers did not get the home but enjoyed working with me so wanted to have my help to find another place.

We looked at one that would do but there was another one that had just come on that day and it was right around the corner. I could tell she was discouraged and would settle for this to provide for her and her son but she was such a nice person she was willing to go along for me.

As soon as we pulled up our mouth's dropped and we looked at each other. It was beyond what she was looking for at the same price with lovely gardens and privacy and a little fenced area for her little dog. It was really beautifully maintained. The home became hers and I got to help. Her negative became a positive. I later learned she was moving in early so she could volunteer on a medical mission to Africa. Not how you saw that story ending is it?

When you think you have round pegs and square holes, stop playing with antiquated games.

Go someplace you have never been. Take a different road home tonight. Look for new paths and allow the changing of the seasons to let you shed your own "dead leaves". Start looking at things differently and you will find something different.

If I pack anymore sticky, sweet, sappy, stuff in here I will become the laughing stock of my friends and of course we all worry about what our friends think so will end here.

The bottom line is start being nice to yourself. Let yourself have better thoughts. You can do it!
