My Ultimate

Weather challenges many individuals in different ways. For some it is the tasks of pressing through the "HARD THINGS". After reading the book by Alex and Brett Harris, Do Hard Things; which is amazing to think on. This has become the Ultimate in challenging my thoughts, actions and now new mantra for 2010. I remember hearing about this book and the Rebelutionaries, the Harris Brother teens, while attending CIY -MOVE in Holland Michigan 2008. Let's move on.

Ultimately I love the ending; or really I enjoyed the ENTIRE THING! It reminded me a lot of what I used to be like when I was a few years younger. So here is something that really captured my eye as well as my heart to do something different with my life beginning 2010. After all it is never too late to begin something, right?
  • " Things that take you outside your comfort zone- taking risks to grow.
  • Things that go beyond what's expected or required - pursuing excellence.
  • Things that are too big to accomplish alone - dreaming and daring big.
  • Things that don't earn an immediate payoff - being FAITHFUL and CHOOSING INTEGRITY.
  • Things that go against the cultural norm - taking a stand for what is right."
Nothing like starting like the present.
Do hard things. Do little hard things. My Ultimate with all that is possible with in.

worthy of a moment

It is SO very cold here in the mid west, yet it is worthy of the moment. Even though I have challenges set before me in this sub zero weather, I find it amusing to adore the things most often over looked in our life, for we all have the same 24 hours in a day. TODAY. Can it be fathomed correctly? I wonder, however my heart is warmed to the core of how very fortunate we are. For instance to call those whom are reading this blog our LOVED ONES.

There is so much to be thankful for!
Breath of Life
the ability to be healthy enough to even live
sight to see the Creators' creation all around me
smell to remember the moments of life in the aromas surrounding those moments
taste; which by the way is a "kissing cousin" to smell, to savor the flavors of whatever is a favorite or an attempt to try something new YUMMY or yucky which ever it may be
touch with the ability to caress the smooth, rough, bumpy, grainy, creamy and every other texture imaginable
hear the giggle of a baby, the breath of the wind, the melodies of life - our MUSIC and our rhythm that makes us who we are!

You are worthy of the MOMENT because You are a MASTER PIECE created with INTENTION!!!
