We have all messed up in life. We falter in our friendships, careers, parenting, finances, diet. The list goes on. We will all fall but the question is will we get back up, and will we get back up quickly. No matter how bad we mess up, how far we have fallen, or how bad we have let a relationship slip, it is never too late to pick up and start again. There are so many accounts in history that remind us of people who failed miserably and God blessed abundantly after they got back up.

It is so easy to be discouraged about how far we have to go to fix something in our life. We can however celebrate, even before the first victory. Be proud that we have made the first steps toward making things right. Enjoy the peace of knowing we are on the right path. There’s no better feeling than the feeling of being headed in the right direction, doing what’s right even if it is hard. If you are in the valley, today is a great day to start climbing the mountain. Your best is enough.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller

LET THEM…
Julia Roberts once said- When people leave you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn’t mean they are bad people. It just means their role in your story is over.

Not everyone who comes into our lives is meant to stay forever. Some are teachers of lessons we need to learn. Others help us through hard times. Then they move on. Trying to force a relationship with those who are meant to leave only delays our growth. That chapter may close but we have learned from the experiences.

Letting go is often challenging. The ending often gives way to new opportunities, and deeper connections. Moving on is essential for the next chapter of life. The relationship was a gift, or a lesson. Shaping us and our future self. They will always be part of your story, but now the future to be written holds even greater promise.

Change keeps us moving forward. Change keeps us from becoming complacent. It gets us out of our comfort zone. Change is good. Everyday we choose not to change our negative or unhealthy habits is another day that we aren’t working towards our goals. Don’t let your doctor bill far outweigh your grocery bill. We put things off until Monday, or the next Monday, which turns into a month or a year. Delaying implementing new healthy habits only reinforces those current habits that are not getting you where you want to be. I don’t know about you but I want to die of old age...Not disease.

No matter what the reason the choice is ours. We are the only one that can be in charge of our actions. Let’s vow to making one little change at a time to create a happier, healthier life and begin forming new habits now. Food is fuel, exercise is the best medicine. What you put into life, is what you get out of it. Change can be hard but you have what it takes. Your best is enough.

It is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver. Mahatma Gandhi

The material things can be distracting but what’s important is who you are, not what you have. Better to build relationships, spend time and make memories rather than collect things.

Happiness starts with YOU.
Not with your circumstances.
Not with your significant other.
Not with your career.
Not with your possessions.
All the things really do not matter.
No one cares about the stuff you have.
Really. They don’t.

People care if you are a person of true character, who is caring and compassionate and genuine. An individual that lives with integrity. Someone that is firmly grounded in their morals. The things that matter are not tangible. When we realize that truth, we can find more fulfillment, happiness and joy for life as a whole. Your best is enough.

You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously. Steve Maraboli

For some it is hard not to be a people pleaser. Sticking with what is expected of you and not making waves. We can often focus on conforming to the expectations of others. In trying to please people we may lose sight of our own values and what’s unique about ourselves. It is human nature to want to please others. The drawback of that is our tendency to worry about what people think of us. There are so many people in the world who settle for a life of comparing and conforming.

Most of us don’t like to draw attention to ourselves. Blending in is easier. When we walk our own path, we learn to stop fixating on the opinions of others. We stop trying to read people’s minds and projecting our fears and thoughts on them. Whatever thoughts others may have about you, they do not belong to you. Let them go. Marching to our own drum gives others the courage to do the same and brings joy and happiness to a world that needs you just the way you are.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Judy Garland

Writing out some goals is a new year tradition for lots of people. It is quite satisfying to check off the things on your list. Gettin things done is a great feeling. Does your to-do list make you feel good?

My favorite lists are like the one below. We could all use a little boost and a positive reminder when the chaos of the world, self doubt and fear starts throwing us off course.

Your Best is Enough
What you do is not WHO you are
It’s ok to not be perfect
You are in the process of becoming the best version of YOU
Your possibilities are ENDLESS

Affirmations are crazy powerful. By saying, hearing or writing a positive thought, you tell it to your brain over and over again until you actually believe your affirmation. Put some positivity on the top and bottom of your list. This way, you will start your day with a positive outlook and fall asleep on a positive thought. Praying your year is filled with blessings, love and laughter.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right. Henry Ford

This is when we hear about all those New Year’s resolutions. While I definitely believe in making positive changes I am not a fan of this January 1 tradition. Anytime is a great time to make those changes - now, tomorrow, Monday or January 1. You just need to find your why.

In my career I have seen a lot of people start towards a goal and then quit. We don’t have to wait until a certain day or date. The best time is when we identify the desire, figure out our why and realize we are worthy and deserve to reach our goals!

A strong foundation of desire gives us a motivation to learn, change and grow. With a strong why we will be more likely to embraces challenges and persist despite all the obstacles. A goal or positive changes can be achieved anytime.

Create a list of all the reasons you want to achieve that goal. When you feel like quitting, bust out that list containing all of the reasons your goal is so important to you. Pull up your sleeves and dig in.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Les Brown

Taking a moment to reflect on the holidays. They have a way of being both beautiful and chaotic at the same time. Ours were full of making magical memories, late nights, early mornings, laughter, and meaningful moments. Often stepping back, taking a breath, and remind myself that presence matters more than perfection. There was deep joy and moments of exhaustion. Moments that I wanted to freeze forever and times of reflection that caused sadness and a bit of regret. Maybe you had all that mix of emotions as well.

Now here we are standing in the beginning of a fresh new year. That quiet space where the calendar feels a bit lighter, and something new is whispering your name. Where new habits are formed and goals set with a determination to finish well. Let’s look forward to the weeks ahead with faith. Putting one foot in front of the other remembering that our best is enough.

Every task, goal, race and year comes to an end…therefore, make it a habit to FINISH STRONG. Gary Ryan Blair

Got a goal or a dream? We have to have some stick-to-itivness to make it a reality. Anything in life you truly desire requires effort. You have to be 1000% committed to the work to make that wish or amazing goal happen. That is a bit easier said than done you may think... it takes a plan.

Effort and planning go hand in hand to create the life you are wishing for. What can you change today to make your tomorrow better? You can achieve your goals if you dig in and stick to it. Your best is enough.

Find something you love to do, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life. Harvey Mackay

The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense. Thomas A. Edison

Nothing will work unless you do. Maya Angelou

I didn’t get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it. Estée Lauder

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams. Donovan Bailey

A tree needs roots below the surface to gain the nutrients and water it needs. The deeper the roots the stronger it grows. One that is not mature and entrenched cannot withstand the winds and storms as well as one that is. Like the strongest tree we should stay rooted. It’s possible to stand tall with our roots digging deep, no matter our circumstances. Remain strong in our convictions. Have an impeccable reputation, and strong moral compass.

Our integrity and character should be beyond reproach. Principles embedded in stone. We can accumulate wisdom and endeavor to practice grace. Maybe take a moment to reflect with me. Where are your roots digging the deepest? Where we focus our energy, time, and resources is where our roots will grow. Is your current focus giving you the best nutrients for your goals and aspirations? Your best is enough.

Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. George Eliot






Meraki

Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Goodness and integrity go hand in hand. Integrity is our personal compass that shapes the kind of person we become over time. Living with integrity means being true to our morals. It means that our outward actions reflect our inner beliefs and values. Making the choice each day to live up to our personal standards.

No one is perfect and I’m certainly not! That doesn’t mean I’m giving up on trying to spread some joy. Each day I am walking this journey of life, striving to become the person God made me to be.

Our actions, how we live, how we spend our time, that all adds up. The goodness we strive for shows in the kindness and compassion we give to those around us. We can be an example to others. Remember to have some fun, to sprinkle goodness throughout your day. Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. William James
