Crisis or Opportunity

Crisis or Opportunity

         I heard “We can have a Mid-Life-Opportunity.”  Opportunities are precious and can be so incredible.   Mid-Life can be viewed negatively but may also seem positive if we’re open to that perspective.

         Seeing possibilities might offer so much hope when more than the limitations become normal factors.  Prospects can be hope-filled if we are led in the direction before us to such insights.

         Offerings for us to choose, we can select excellence to pursue and chase terrific goals.  Embedded toward the positive we seek that which is more and bigger than just us, being plugged into the greater aspects of life.

         Sensing various directions are available give us a plate full of choices and options galore.  The results presented make so much, that impact the things we face.

         When ahead of us is a crisis or opportunity, keeping a positive focus may make the outcome hopeful.  If we allow the light to shine brightly into our lives then it could spill onto others around us.  We can overflow.

Anyhow or Any-when

Anyhow or Any-when



         In the movie “The Shift” one of the characters said “Anyhow or Any-when.”  As I heard that I also started thinking about “Anywhere and Any-what and Any-why and Any-who.”

         That Any______ perspective opens up possibilities to various items, making us sense so much.  We can feel blessed to accomplish greatness, building up our self-esteem and encouraging others.

         Questions that lead us in directions may be the needed prodding we search for in the quest we pursue.  Clues can be so revealing to answers as they give us an enchanted viewpoint.

         Seeking the Any______, some restful time helps.  The needed NAP-ping may be more important than we’ve realized.  Snoozing could be that gift presenting us with blessed resources.

         Loosening our grip on what we hold onto could give us pieces with such immense sensation.  Open doorways allow entry into spaces to be so filling for us and others we encounter.  Any-possibilities are grand!

Beyond Naturally -- The Supernatural

Beyond Naturally

The Supernatural



         We have most things that come to us naturally, and then there are some beyond that scope finding ways into our lives.  The supernatural is finding it’s way into our being to enhance us and be a blessing to others.

         Becoming a part of the person we are is truly stupendous, and also productive, achieving so much that we can share with another.  When a gift is bestowed upon us, and it is unwrapped as well as put to use the benefits gained make a tremendous difference.

         The delight from this experience has a magnificent outcome, that it presents multiple good.  Being present means we’re more aware and also we can be a gift to someone.

         The nature of something given to us is that it is precious and valued.  The item is valuable to giver and eventually meaningful to receiver.  Seeing the significance may not be immediate, but it needs pondering.

         If we look past the initial characteristics, the deeper understanding is that much more can be revealed.  The sights seen might show somethings making us think outside our comfort zone.  An inspired imagination can be a phenomenal recharger.

Live Differently

     Live Differently


         Many things affect our lives, and we have to make choices to move in various directions.  Our plans for how something should be can be adjusted by circumstances beyond the control we steer to a path outside the realms of what we understand.  

         In a recent Terry Hershey’s Sabbath Moment reflection he shared an experience of a family at a restaurant and a 5 year old girl getting to order a hot dog.  She said “Mom and Dad, the waitress thinks I’m real.”

         When we’re recognized as “REAL”, our self-esteem is boosted to a point where our level of worth increases.  And we live differently because of that.

         The renewed person we are then shares blessings with others that are brought to our path.  Connections made strengthen bonds enhancing our community beyond what we envisioned.

         Perspectives seen treat us to smiles on our face and joy in our heart causing us to be lifted to a place we may not have thought possible.  We’re brought where brightness shines and happiness is abundant.  The living so fills us that we can overflow onto others.

The Power Of “Yet”

The Power Of “Yet”

      I heard recently:  "The power of ‘YET' ":  The person said "I am an art teacher and when a student says 'I can't do that.', I respond with 'Not yet, but I'll help you.' "  Each of us needs and can be a Support Group, being there for another in their time of need.

       Encouraging someone is a tremendous accomplishment building up that person’s self esteem to a point that they are filled.  We are there for someone as they struggle in their circumstances, and battle issues they contend.

       When faced with challenges we may be mired in a mud-pit that is sticky, devouring our strength and draining our ability to work our way out.  Having a person beside us, is the needed factor to boost our confidence to try harder in doing a task vital to ongoing aims.

       Fulfilling goals is being inspired to achieve beyond our comfort zone, into areas in spaces that can bless each other immensely.  Taking inspiration from a friend builds up the esteem we require to be the best version of ourselves.

       Relying on someone to help us get to that next step of succeeding and flourishing with tasks builds community bonds.  The “YET” help is terrific in how we progress into levels far ahead of our imagining.  The “not yet” might help us help someone else.
