We Are All Related

          In William Shatner’s book “Boldly Go” he used this Native American Lakota tribe phrase.  He also wrote “Human beings, animals, the earth on which we trod, the air we breathe:  we were all made for each other.  If we could only grasp and remember that notion.”

          Being connected has amazing results, we’re joined to interact plus influence one another in immense ways.  To be a part of each other’s lives and existence can have great impact.

          We may learn things from others by being open to much, their words, pictures, actions, music, foods, etc.  The nourishment we can absorb has ways to feed our needs in tremendous methods.

          Filling us with emotions and memories gives us renewed sensations to levels beyond imagining, maybe even taking us toward amazing heights.  Linking to another culture reveals bonds beyond our realizing, bringing new perspectives into our mind

          Relationships can help us thrive to the point that builds and edifies in our bodies such sustenance.  To feel a comparable nature brings us close and reveals a bond that strengthens the team we’ve become.  Related we are, family we are.

I’m More Relaxed When I ______!

I’m More Relaxed When I ______!

          The feeling of being at ease with something or comfortable in certain environments help us be more productive.  Being peaceful gives me much more energy than I previously realized.

          A cozy sensation may multiply the levels we’re at to an unexpected point, maybe even beyond dreams we’ve had.  When someone shares an idea with us that sparks a new plan we might be inspired toward amazing prospects.

          Could a soothing sense be the needed balm that helps us achieve a culture we may not have thought possible.  Contented ways might carry us where we can be in at-ease environments.

          A few weeks ago my wife and I took a trip to Lake Arrowhead, and at a store we found a t-shirt that said “Lake It Easy”.  Changing our viewpoint could be as simple as ideas in a phrase.

           Relaxing may be moving out of our usual environments, giving some new things to think about, and maybe generate thoughts that lead toward favorable directions.  In laid-back zones rejuvenation may happen and we might find ourselves able to impact our lives and that of others.  Be relaxed, absorb, and share to enhance one another.

Be Inspired, Do More

Be Inspired, Do More

          There’s so much for us to accomplish, and we’re inspired by various factors.  The words and pictures and songs among many things we might encounter take us to levels that make the impossible possible.

          We can do so much for ourselves and others, blessings and could be inspirations to spark new ideas as well as actions.  If we want to see the world change we have to be willing to act.

          Where I volunteer a sign says “A laugh is a smile that bursts.”  Our influence on another could be the bursting impact making so much happen.  Starting the process may be the needed step toward improvement.

          Everybody needs a Support Group to encourage them through dark times.  I heard it said “When on a train going through a tunnel we don’t jump off the train; We trust the engineer.”

          Listen to encouragers, be open to helpers.  The stories of someone could be just what we need to boost our energy.  Be ready to receive what is offered, it might have the inspiration for which we’re looking.  Share your talents and efforts that others may benefit.

Wrenching Us Toward ______

          Sensing things can enliven us in many directions and feeds our souls to become more than we ever thought possible.  We’re wrenched toward a perspective beyond considerations we’ve pondered.

          Foundations built give so much that endear us in ways we don’t know and results in leading to amazing goals.  The progress made shall increase heights that help us see the beauty and vastness of sights and sites.

          Richness bestowed on us may be more than physical things filling our beings to levels accentuating sharing and blessing others.  I’ve heard the term “Old Soul” used many times to describe a person and how they see things.  We could be more mature, seeing with depth beyond recognition.

          When we gain from others so much in us is received, and the lessons learned fill our beings to the point we overflow onto others brought to paths we walk.  A church had a sign at their parking lot for people to see as they left – “You Are Entering Your Mission Field.”

          What’s more important than doing missionary work in far-off places is to have a missionary mindset.  There’s work to be done right where we are; so we can be missionaries in our own community.  Encourage and edify in our neighborhoods and communities.  Be Soul-ed, Be Solid.
