Quote of The Week

“You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.”  Ralph Marston

I love this little reminder of our greatness. We have overcome so many obstacles and will overcome many more. Why we fear conflict in our lives is a mystery. Humans are natural survivors and we do what we have to in order to protect our loved ones and ourselves. We are much stronger than we give ourselves credit for and when we truly focus our energy, out of need or desire, the idea of failure isn’t even entertained. So maybe instead of waiting until our backs are against the wall and there doesn’t appear to a way out, what if we focused that energy now? What if we worked on our needs and wants today, instead of waiting until the last minute? We don’t have to let frustration or desperation be the catalyst for focused action on our lives. But when we are faced with an experience we find less than desirable, we can work not to let it weigh us down. Instead, we can take it by the preverbal horns and whip it into shape. Let the universe know that we’ve got this and work to guide the direction of our lives instead of letting it guide us. Every cloud has a silver lining, we just have to learn to look for it when the opportunity presents itself.
