Goodbye Mr. Chips

Goodbye Mr. Chips was a movie I saw a longtime ago. But I will never forget a song from that movie. The title, "Fill the World With Love" has remained a favorite of mine all these years. Especially these lyrics from that song, "Have I filled the world with love?" This is something I ask myself almost daily. This is a question we all should ask ourselves often. I believe if we all asked this questions of ourselves this world would be an even more amazing place to be a part of. LOVE. How powerful is this emotion, word, and feeling. It has an effect on everyone it comes in contact with. It's influence is powerful and long lasting. So the challenge I leave with you today is to fill the world with love your whole life long.

Change

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." Randy Pausch Many of us at times go through hard times; loss of a loved one, a life threatening diagnosis, or a trial of our faith. These are the times when you find out the kind of person you truly are. How we play the cards says a lot about our character and how we value ourselves.

I have watched and prayed for many loved one who struggle with life situations, that are very difficult' in awe. What strong and faithful people I have surrounded myself with. The way they play the cards gives me strength and desire to be a better person. How lucky we are to have great people in our lives to travel with in this life. How lonely and dark this world would be without them.

Sayings

One of my favorite sayings is "If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got".

There are as many ways to do one thing as there are people on this earth. If you want different results you have to be willing to do something different than you have done before.

No one can read your mind. No one knows what you r needs are except you. So if you truly want something you have to ask for it. If you need a hug...Just ask. Trust yourself when it comes to your needs. And then Just ask. Then and only then will you truly receive what you really need.

Actions

Always make your actions consistent with your words. You cannot expect people to believe you if you are saying one thing and doing another. This kind of action puts out mixed messages and is very confusing. When actions a words match up there is a sense of security which we are all seeking for in this life.

You will never be better than the people you are comparing yourself to unless that person is yourself.

Always be the best you. And remember no one can do you better than you can. Fall in love with who you are. There is no one quite like you in this world. So let your light shine and light up the world.
