Be That You

Remember that moment when you believed in yourself. When you’re feeling down & out – thinking you can’t do it, look back and remember that feeling that you could do it. Be that you.

Go Find Your Meaning

Meaning in your life isn’t the same thing as being happy in your life. Happiness comes and goes, and won’t make you get out of bed in the morning. Meaning will, even when life feels like it kicked you in the teeth.

Go find your meaning.

A Castle On Shifting Sands

Emotional dependence IS more dangerous when we fail to recognize it in time to prevent its nefarious chronic trends in thinking. Depending on others for our happiness is to build a castle on shifting sands. You’re setting yourself up for failure and you’re setting yourself up for trouble. Rely on you!

Be Intentional

Be intentional in your relationships, tell your friends, family & kids exactly how you feel about them. There will be a day when you are unable to do so, you don’t want them to wonder how you felt. Be intentional.

I share this entry because of the amazement I felt having served this particular passenger.

I picked up a gentleman late one fall evening who came out of a care facility. He appeared very tired. I quickly learned that this man had just finished another one of his near daily visits to his wife who had remained in a coma for over 10 years. Many years ago, this man woke up in the middle of the night to discover that his wife lay next to him unconscious. She never regained consciousness.

The stress of this man’s experience had taken its physical toll on him. Despite the stress clearly aging him during this endeavor, he projected happiness and contentment despite enduring what few could possibly imagine. His love for this other human being was simply a different level of intensity and devotion.

The commitment and dedication driven by unremitted love this man displayed moved and inspired me. This man’s dedication could have easily been a Nicholas Sparks novel.

It reminded me that in the darkest of times and places, there is immense love surrounding us, even if we are unaware of it.
