Committed Faith and Energy

When being exposed to new experiences, thoughts help to determine success or failure, ease or difficulty, pursuit or abandonment of accepting or rejecting involvement. These are common thoughts regarding abilities to accomplish tasks. Investing in positive thinking carries the load and opens opportunities for success. A common encouragement heard since childhood was: "Where there is a will, there is a way." Committed faith and energy opens a personalized version of this saying: "When there is a way, I will achieve it." Positive thinking is the fuel needed to negate quitting when the going gets tough - remember the movie "Rudy;" a real life story of a young man who wanted to play football for Notre Dame. Rudy truly exemplified committed faith and energy.

Watching athletes perform, it's easy to say they are so talented; or they were gifted with talent. In reality, these athletes developed their talents through hard work and lots of practice. They were dedicated to faith in themselves and committed to giving the energy to overcome what had to be many obstacles. Faith in themselves and what they wanted to accomplish was the fuel that fed the energy expended. In all, they started out just as most young and successful people. They had a dream, and they committed themselves to complete that dream no matter the challenges encountered. Where are you with your commitment to success and happiness?

"Opportunity dances with those who are already on the dance floor." (Jackson Browne) Dancing to the beat of your drum is reflected in your readiness to learn new and difficult things. Opportunities are gifts presented to those aware and ready to receive them. This awareness comes from your ability to receive information, focus, understand, and take action. Your dance begins when decisions are based on reality, determination, desire, and drive. They all exist within you. Be present on the dance floor, and start beating your drum!

Hurry up and wait is one of life's many races. Perseverance is a key to success as it allows effort to be expended in positive directions. Impatience is emotionally driven and lacks rational reasoning. Sitting in traffic, arguing with a loved one, standing in line at the DMV are examples where impatience rules. There are many others. Perseverance is a skill learned by controlling your thoughts. The question, "What can I do right now?" is a good starting point for positive effort!

Fighting the good fight is a character building experience. The good fight is being aware of your thoughts and desires, understanding the benefits and consequences of the commitment being made, and taking appropriate actions to attain positive and productive outcomes. Character building is a matter of personal strength, vision, ambition, and success. Committed faith and energy are your tools. You can do it!

Sticking your neck out is a way to connect with a challenge. Challenges are presented in various ways, but always demand a reaction or a response. A reaction tends to be emotional and irrational, while a response is thoughtful and rational. Reactions lead to unproductive behavior and quitting, while responses generate new options and productive results. Responses also involve risks, the bulldozer making challenges quiver! With committed faith, wisely stick your neck out, take the risk, and feast on productivity. You'll enjoy the progress.

"It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it's the pebble in your shoe." (Muhammad Ali) It's the little challenges that drive worry in our thoughts. The better we get at worrying, the more prone we become to anxiety. Anxiety is a fear of the unknown, a totally irrational fear because battling an unknown results only in confusion, as there is nothing to hang on to. Little challenges need to be managed with best efforts and then set aside. Dealing with them differs from avoidance. Energy used for managing prepares you for the larger challenges - the ones that extract physical energy to manage. Remove the pebbles, climb your mountains, and achieve success! Committed faith and energy are worthy values; embrace them and achieve what you can do, and do to the best of your abilities.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
