“Happiness Will Never Come…..”

“Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they have.” ~Budha

I find myself focusing a lot these days on gratitude and this quote really stood out to me. Not from a standpoint of appreciating the “THINGS” I have, but from appreciating where I am in my life. Appreciating my family. Appreciating my friends. Appreciating my health. Appreciating where I am this very second of my life and the time I have been given to experience this chapter in my life.

Sure, others may have more, they may have accomplished more in their careers or experienced situations I never will. But that is their journey not mine. And for that I choose to appreciate and find happiness in my own journey.

What part of your journey are you failing to appreciate that is holding you back from your happiness?

Who are you surrounding yourself with? Do they inspire you? Do they support you? Do they bring you positive energy?

Winter Forms Our Character…….

Winter forms our character quote by Tim Allen

Winter forms our character and brings out our best.”  ~Tim Allen

I don’t know about you, but it’s about this time of year when I begin to long for warmer, sunnier days of winter.   But, like life as I push through the damp, cold days I come out stronger as the seasons begin to change.

How about you? Do you find the “winter days” help build your character?

Have a great week!

Back at Your Passion

“Monday is not the day to be back at the grindstone. Monday is the day to be back at your passion. If you’re working for the weekend you’re doing it wrong. Give it your all EVERYDAY!” ~unknown

I can honestly say I found myself working for the weekend when I was in Corporate America. Every now and then it’s ok, but what if we think about our careers as the fuel to our passion, perhaps our perspective of Monday’s would improve.

What is your passion? How will you give it your all everyday?
