T4D…Why Not Just Do It?
How many things have you thought about doing and then let yourself be talked right out of it by yours truly? We so often find so many reasons to NOT do something before we try or even before we think about the good reasons to do it.
Shout out to Maria today for doing some major things in her life that a few years ago, she would have talked herself out of….way to go Maria!
What are you NOT moving forward on (for the many reasons you have told yourself)?

Cure for Fearing the Unknown
by JANE POWELL on DECEMBER 19, 2011
“Stop fearing the unknown and move forward.”
Do these sound familiar? “I’m too old to do something new.” “I won’t be any good at it.” “People will laugh.” Are these the kinds of things you tell yourself when opportunity strikes? When you determine the result or the outcome before you even start, you have already considered rejection or failure. And, when this happens, it’s easy to come up with excuses for not even trying.
The secret is to disconnect the outcome from the process. This is when you release the fear and give yourself the opportunity for success.
Think about it, you cannot possibly know the outcome before you try. Nobody can! So, trust yourself and get out there and do it.
Today’s Affirmation: I give myself opportunity for success by disconnecting the outcome from the process.
This represents my day today….
To BE or NOT TO BE Organized – It seems so simple….
I struggle with 6 & 7 most. I have too many things in cupboards, closets and drawers that I don’t use (preventing other things that I do use from “fitting” there)!
ONE DAY….I will figure it all out 🙂
To my single girlfriends….
Always be yourself….
Says it all, doesn’t it?…..
I don’t think curiosity killed any cat….
Did you know…
“Curiosity killed the cat” is a proverb used to warn of the dangers of unnecessary investigation or experimentation. A less frequently-seen rejoinder to “curiosity killed the cat” is “satisfaction brought it back”. The original form of the proverb, now little used, was “Care killed the cat”. In this instance, “care” was defined as “worry” or “sorrow.” (Thanks Wikipedia)
I believe ..
- to be curious is to be willing to explore…
- to explore is to learn…
- to learn is to grow!
How curious are you?

10 easy things to remember by Gandhi ….
Easy to remember does not imply easy to DO….
Free Yourself!
Free yourself from your past…
How often do we reflect on our history and blame our past for our present situation?
I ran across a metaphor that I love by Wayne Dyer – one of his 10 Secrets to Success and Inner Peace;
Never let what’s happened in the past prevent you from creating your best future.
Imagine you are in a speedboat…..
The engine is propelling the boat forward and a wake is created representing where you have been. Now imagine the speedboat is your life. Most people live with the illusion that their wakes are “driving” their lives—which is absolutely impossible. We all need to “get out of the wake.”
Our past should not stand in the way of our future, the past is the past its done its over it shouldnt be holding us back. Our present circumstance need to be about making desicions and taking actions based on right here and right now.
So get out of the wake hop into the driving seat and steer your boat where you want it to go based on now.
