No one can really dictate...

The rain.

But we sure can be, the best umbrella.

With everything in our lives, we can only be in charge of ourselves...and
dictate what "we" do, and not other people or things.

In knowing this, we can be prepared to meet all kinds of
challenges, people and situations with grace.

So when we are faced with things that are not in our control, which is
everything...except ourselves...just like when it rains, we can respond
accordingly...and not get wet.

Friendship isn't a Big Thing...

It's a million little things.

Not much more to say about that.

The Things I Do...

The things we do are graded not only by ourselves but others as well.

What are the things you do that make a great and positive impact on
your life as well as the life of others?

Is it the way you listen to others...the way you make people feel about
themselves, or maybe it is what you do on a consistent basis that makes
the world turn a little sweeter?

Only you know...and it's pretty nice when you can proudly say to yourself at
the end of the day, after you brighten up the world around you...

Appreciate the little...

Things in Life...they are what makes the Big things possible.

Life and memories are created from experiences and moments, which are
made up by the little things in our lives.

The little things that make up our experiences and moments, are usually
not the things that cost us money, but are the things we get for free...and give for free.

Little things like...little smiles, little thank yous, little people,
little compliments, a little love are what makes up our experiences and
moments and makes our lives worth living.

So maybe give a "little something" and make lives worth living.

When we can't seem to...

Get our heads around things, it may be
because it's our head...is what gets in the way.

We think too much...which only gives us our own perspective, which is purely subjective.

Looking at our challenges from an outside perspective, or another's
viewpoint, always helps us out with clarity...looking from the "outside" and the solution is "Duh"...so simple

So if we are having a challenge, getting our heads around our
challenge...look at it from another's view...from the outside...it's so easy.

Just enough...

Or maybe just a little extra?

Many of us go day to day with doing just enough to get by.

And at the same time wanting just a little extra out of life, and
themselves.

Well, we sure can get a little extra out of our life and ourselves
simply by just doing more than just enough.

Getting up a 1/2 hour early can easily jump start that exercise
routine, more focus on what we do can save some time for other things,
even cleaning up some unfinished business can open up all sorts of
opportunities.

So if we want just a little extra - we just do a little extra...and it
comes our way.

Things aren't going your way?

Well, stand in line, there are many others waiting too.

We would all like things to go our way - all the time - but that's not how life works.

But thinking back, we can remember times when things were really
"clicking" and we seem to be controlling the "dial" on the success
machine.

And those times will be back, when we least expect it, and we will be "clicking" once again.

We just need to be patient and do the things we may not like to, and
handle the things we are supposed to, because things will soon be going
our way, once we handle the things that were in our way.
