Think about it: “The quality of your life is proportional to the amount and kind of UNCERTAINTY with which you can live." -Tony Robbins Again, think about it: When you feel confusion, uncertainty, that in itself is a sort of clearness. And, a path to a quality life. Love,

“In the most dire situation, in the best situation, if you just wait, the good in it will reveal itself.” ~ Rush Limbaugh, Dec 23, 2020 Isn’t it a TOUGH thing, to WAIT? - to wait on others? - to wait on yourself as you learn and grow? - to wait on your children to become? - to wait on ‘things to happen’? - to wait to ‘find out’? So, plan, pray, and act toward the result you want. Set your goals, plan, pray and act. In love, Think about the energy that becomes your thoughts. Think about how the thoughts become your actions. Like decisions you make. Like what you say in your conversations. Like what you eat. What you buy. Even what you hear. Frame every thought, every word, every action in love. Then, every action will be framed in love. Your world will fill with love. Like what people say to you. Like what people feel when you are with them. Like what you feel no matter what. Framed in love, Acting in love. Some years ago, Jeff Olson published a book called, “The Slight Edge”. This book had a huge impact on me, as I followed his point that we are always —always — moving along a trajectory, either in a positive, or in a negative direction. There is no standing still. The Slight Edge for Dan Jansen in the ’94 Olympics speed skating was a win by 29 one hundredths of a SECOND. That is 0.29 second. Less than a third of a SECOND,\\ As Jeff Olson said, that’s a very Slight Edge! Whether you are talking in your life, in your work, or play, the difference in accomplishing, the difference in winning and losing, the difference in positive or negative trajectory is a very SLIGHT EDGE. Would you like $1 million dollars right now, or a penny a day, doubled each day for one month? One penny, doubled every day for a month adds up to $10,737,418…and 24 cents. Increase your efforts each day - in your family and friend relationships, in work, in play, by just 3/10 of 1%, adding 3/10 of 1% each day, and by the end of 5 years, you will have moved along your Slight Edge 1600%! Just in a year you’d have improved 100%! Your nutrition? Your weight? Your health? Your family? Loving others? Imagine - after 1 week…1 month…1 year later… You’ll be living a different life. Get on and stay on the Slight Edge. Happy 2026! Love, “Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.” “We need a little Christmas, Right this very minute, We need a little Christmas……now.” This year, as Christmastime lightens your step And fills your heart, Carry the miracle of celebration of The birth of baby Jesus With you throughout the season. And you could watch, "Miracle on 34th Street” And Jerry Herman’s “Mame” With the family. Merry Christmas! Love, There is an interesting book entitled, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. By John Gray Mr. Gray explains to us that Because of the different ways men and women are ‘wired’, Communication goes off-rail easily. “Men rarely say, ‘I’m sorry’ because On ‘Mars’, it means you have done Something wrong, and you are apologizing.” Women say ‘I'm sorry’ as a way to say, ‘‘I care about what you are feeling.’” Women want their man to say “I'm sorry”, to let their woman know He cares about what they feel. And when he does not say it, The argument begins! Confusing, to say the least, For both. Read more in this classic book - That helps immensely with The differences in us. Love, In elementary school, I looked longingly at the kids’ who had the 64 crayon boxes. Oh how I wanted all those colors of crayons! If crayons were emotions, it has been said, Women have at least.. ...that many in their box of emotions. And men, have the smallest box Of crayons-emotions, The box of eight. And that men only use basically two of those: Anger, And Happy. This basic truism may help us in our relationships With our beloved other. Something to ponder today. Love, I learned from Tony Robbins, Years ago, About how things we’ve anchored to ...can affect our emotions. Like, someone touches your shoulder while you are talking, The same way someone touched your shoulder to comfort you after a loss, years ago. But you did not notice that then Or now. But, you do notice you feel sad All of a sudden. Or, you notice you are prickly The rest of the morning. What was the anchor? IT DOESN”T MATTER. Trust that something Took you there and now It is your choice to change your emotion. Meditate and pray for a moment. A couple of deep breaths With long exhalations. And a decision to feel grateful - and happy. And go about your day, HAPPY and GRATEFUL. NO LONGER SAD, or MAD, or..… Love, |
