Lunch Box Wisdom 24 Oct 2016... 

"Your words of encouragement could be the spark that pushes a person forward. "

What were your words to a loved one this morning?  Did you uplift them?  Did you compliment them on their choices? Did you leave them with a feeling of security and love? It only takes a small bit of encouragement to propel someone towards a great day, a great victory, or simply put a smile on their face.  I think we tend to gravitate towards what we focus on... be-little or degrade someone they will feel little, unworthy and unloved. Offer them positive reinforcement and they will achieve more then you could ever imagine. 

We have all heard stories of when some one was kind and offered encouraging words to a stranger and later learned those simple words turned the tide of sadness and they decided not to end their life.  Words have power and kindness can overcome great odds. 

So I challenge you to offer encouragement to some one today.  Tell them they can do it, what ever it is, and you just might see the light in their eyes brighten.  You might even feel warmth in your own heart and find the spark you need to take the next step your self.

Remember, I believe in you

"Caring about what people think of you is useless.  Most people don't even know what they think of themselves. " ~WordPorn

Oh, I am so bad at this!  Hence the note from my Wendy. She knows that I care way to much.  I care about what they are thinking, how they are feeling, if they had enough to eat, are they alone... I ache to make everyone feel all better all the time. Ugh... It is so hard being a nice guy some times.  The other part that sucks is when you are done being nice and you just wanna be left alone.  Then people are all, "What's wrong with him? Why is so quite to day."  Can you see my struggle here?  

Anyway, enough of my issues.  Lets talk about you, my favorite subject!

Honestly, when I start to worry about what others think of me, I try to remember that it's none of my business.  Put that into context for yourself.  If you are dancing in the rain, getting soaking wet,  and loving every second... it does not matter what Ralph, George or Henry think.  Ralph may be all, "My Dear, you shall surely catch your death of cold." and George, " Get it girl!  Shake that thang!"  While Henry, ever the optimist and art lover, might think, "The relation of your wet dress to the wet leaves of a tree brings me to tears."  They all have different opinions and not one of them really matters... just do what you feel is best. Some will cheer and some will boo and that's OK.  Did you enjoy the dance?  Did you laugh and have fun? Did you find something in you feeling lighter or more free?  That's what matters.  And your shoes... you have to have great shoes... just kidding ;-)

I try to remember that everyone is trying to figure out their own life, and when they "should" all over you its because they don't have it all figured out either. So do what you love and don't worry about what someone else thinks.  Ask your self what you think and what you feel.  That matters way more. 

Try it.  Look inside instead of outside for validation today. I believe in you, so believe in yourself.

"It's No the future that you're afraid of, It's repeating the pas that makes you anxious."

Hey Folks,

Another quick one today, but a powerful message.

People think they are afraid of what is new or unknown, but often its really a fear of repeating a past failure or mistake. As a society we tend punish each other for our mistakes when we really should celebrate them for the lessons we learn from them. Don't get me wrong... I am plenty upset when I brake something or crash and burn. But I choose not to camp out in the crater of my mistake. I get up, dust off and start to climb out and onto better things.

I want to challenge you to do the same. Next time you crash in life, love or business... take a look around at the damage. Then look for the lesson in the wreckage.  Its there... buried under the rubble and dust... like a gem waiting to be discovered. Then take that little gem of learning and celebrate what you discovered.

You can do it, I believe in you!
