This song is old and many people may not know it. My father introduced it to me in 1989, the year I graduated. I never thought much about the lyrics. Its a great song if you have been down in the dumps. Listen to it in absence of other sounds (use some headphones or be in a place where you have no distractions) and close your eyes. Hear the music and Imagine if you will, your new day. I have included the lyrics if you are interested http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=TH2W7tSGuT0 YOU ARE THE NEW DAY Airwaves (sung a capella) I will love you more than me and more than yesterday If you can but prove to me you are the new day Send the sun in time for dawn Let the birds all hail the morning Love of life will urge me say you are the new day When I lay me down at night knowing we must pay Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all lie around me where they fall before the new day One more day when time is running out ...

I saw this in an email this morning and thought I would share: In all of time and space, there is no challenge, pothole, mountain, chasm, hurdle, or foe larger than you. Not even close. Although if all you use to size them up are your physical senses... good luck! We don't live in a perfect world. Things go wrong, bills have to get paid, friends sometimes disappoint us, however, that doesn't change the fact that your life is amazing. If you look around you at any given time, you will see wonderful and amazing things. Savor the moment.. Where ever you are, being the you that you are right now at this moment, is enough to experience the most awesome moment of your life. Take a deep breath, thank your higher power for being healthy and well, give thanks for all that you have and you will find extraordinary value in the power of being. Normal mundane moments will become awe inspiring and breath taking seconds and will over power you senses. I talk about it often on my blog but...

Do you ever feel like life is conspiring against you? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, your getting trumped by the royal cards of the universe? Many times people don't realize their thought patterns. They subconsciously sabotage their abounding great thoughts with thoughts of fear, hopelessness and failure in the back of their minds. Learn to clear those remaining negative thoughts in your head. The truth of the matter is there is endless possibility, not despair. It is your choice to see it in either light. Often times we think of some difficulty or problem that we are going through and we become heavy with those thoughts. Begin to focus on the opportunities that will come from crossing over that bridge. You have crossed it many times before in your life and the outcome has always been the right one. Everyone struggles with problems and challenges in life. You are no exception to this truth, however, what you do with that information and how you perceive it, is...

You will not always wake up inspired. Sometimes the nights events will have your mind racing and in some cases clutter or distraction enters your thoughts. In some cases you have to wake and see whats outside, breathe the fresh air or just see the face of a household pet to get you back on track and feel inspired and loved. Too many times in your life you will give yourself reason to feel sad, depressed or lonely. The real truth is that you can just as easily choose to feel happy, blessed and fulfilled. I encourage you to dig deep and seek out all the noble, rich, true and good inside of you because the truth is, it has always been there. Often times we want to remind ourselves of the bad, rather than the good that exists in us. We focus on the negative or the things we haven't done rather than accepting the reality that we are perfect right now at this moment. Nothing or no one can ever take that away from you. See the beauty of you! We are all amazing and are sharing...

Your tasks today, your job, your chores...they are a blessing not a curse. No matter how you look at it, the truth is, today, this hour, this moment is where you make a difference. You might not see it but you bring value to all that you do. Don't think of today as a burden or a chore, but rather open yourself up to the possibility of what could be. Allow yourself to be open to grow and to learn. We will never stop learning until we choose to. It is an amazing cycle, when you learn you grow and as you grow you learn. Imagine if everything were easy, there would be no sense of accomplishment. I mentioned in an earlier post, if that were true, your life would seem pointless. "A person shows who they are by what they do with what they have been given" Working through each challange and keeping your spirits high is the challange. Anyone can quit...that is the truely easy road. Whatever you are doing on this day, be thankful that you have breath and means to do...

Is there something that you have been putting off doing? Why wait any longer? Today is as good a day as any to get off your butt and do it. You see once you get started, you are building momentum and that helps you gain ground. Don't make excuses, blame others, create hatred or second guess yourself. That never gets you anywhere but deeper in despair. Energy attracts like energy and doing something creates action. Don't complain about the lack of resources or time. Focus on the time you currently have and be present in the now, focusing on the goal or task at hand. Conditions are never perfect. Deciding to paint a room in your house, get your transmission repaired or begin a family never have a perfect time in your life. If you wait for that time, you will miss your opportunity. Focus on what you have and what you can do and just do it. "A person shows who they are by what they do with what they have been given"...this is the real value in timing. Yo...
