6 Ways Your Life Can Change When You Adopt an Optimistic Attitude
“A dream written down with a date becomes a goal.
A goal, broken down into steps, becomes a plan.
A plan backed by action, becomes reality.”
I found this written in my iPhone notes. It seemed like the perfect way to start this week’s food for thoughts. I have to admit, I do not remember where I saw or heard it or even if it is correctly quoted. I am grateful for it just the same, and to whomever (unknown for now) or however it sparked my attention.
That’s what Wisdom does, it whispers in the quiet places, from the TV spaces, and out of nowhere just shows up as thoughts running through the mind… catch one if you can.
This past week or two, I thought I had a plan and was taking action on it. What I discovered was that my goal wasn’t clear, so the dream was hidden in the midst of a foggy thought.
What I came to discover as I worked on the new Soar into ’24 project, is that as scrambled as all those thoughts were, if I took ahold of just one at a time (not easy for a master multi-tasker), I could finish that one thing, breathe a little and pick another.
Each one finished led me to another, and then another, and I ended up with a folder filled with random thoughts. When they were laid out before me, they began to form a path. The fog started to lift, and the dream began to take shape again.
Bless the hidden dreams and the ones that smack us up side of the head.
I know I ask you often, “What dream lies dormant at the bottom of your heart?” Have you spotted it, heard the whispers? Are you ready to take action on it and manifest it into your reality?
The year is winding down and the holiday season is in full swing. It is a happy and a hard season for me. As hard as the heat can be, the cold seeps into places often forgotten when it is warm. In the cold, oh so long dark of winter days and nights, my dreams pull from the way been gone to mess with my here and now.
Tonight, as I type these words on a blank page, my thoughts pull me into memories that both make me smile and cry. It is that time of the year.
Let’s make a plan, you and I… this circle of wonderful readers and listeners that I have come to feel as friends… let’s reach out when the going gets tough. Let’s shout and holler when there is joy to celebrate… let us remember that even when we are alone, that we are never truly alone.
I have been listening more and more to the voice of inspiration and encouragement that sneaks past that friendly foe, WOPT (What Other People Think). That little voice I call Wisdom, is my favorite companion on the long winter nights and regularly feeds me with thoughts and things. It is fuel for my creative soul.
- Where does your inspiration live?
- Who fans the flames of encouragement for you?
- What do you do to pass the long winter nights?
- When do you take time out for you?
- How will you celebrate the Solstice and the returning light?
This is a great time of the year to find your favorite journal or ask Santa Claus for a new one. In these long dark nights, light all around you with the colors of this season of celebration, listen to that still quiet voice within that whispers inspiration and encouragement.
Journal your wants and needs, your likes and dislikes, what you want rid of and to stop and most importantly, what you want this next year to be… what you want to do and to manifest in 2024.
May Blessings find you Abundantly as we move into this Season of Love and Light
Let’s Soar Together into the coming year with a focused intent, practical exercises, meditation, and ceremony.
