The Right Direction

Whatever way you're going, you're headed in the right direction to reach your dream. Originally posted 10-1-09 Your goals are your goals. Your dreams are your dreams. There is no right or wrong way to reach your goals and achieve your dreams. So why is it that everybody seems to know the best way for us to do everything. We start out with our parents teaching us and telling us what to do and how to do it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because we need to learn. Then we head off to school and we have educators telling us what to do and how to do it. Again, not a bad thing. We are also faced with peer pressure and we often find ourselves doing what everyone else is doing the way they are doing it to fit in.

My Own Personal Thoughts and Growth

I was  reading this post over at The Daily Love, and it was like getting hit over the head with an anvil a la Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.  Parts of it were like reading my own life story.  Think Positive 30 started out on Live Journal.  One of my dear friends and I were kvetching about how miserable our lives were and she commented that she was feeling really negative.  To compensate, she was going to post one positive thought a day in her LJ.  I thought it was an amazing idea and I made a community on Live Journal called Think Positive 30.  I figured there were probably other people that felt that way.  The community was small (very small).  It’s concept was post a positive thought for 30 consecutive days and get in the habit of thinking or finding positive things in your day.  Then we got made a spotlight community on Live Journal and membership EXPLODED.  I used to try and comment on everybody’s posts and be supportive, but when we were spotlighted, it stopped being fun and became hard work.

Have a Brighter Outlook

Have a brighter outlook on life - open your eyes to the possibilities and move forward toward exciting new directions. Every day, I'm surrounded by people tell me their life sucks and they have no chance of going anywhere or achieving anything.  I'll admit to feeling that way sometimes myself.  But I feel so bad for people who get trapped into that mindset.  There are ALWAYS possibilities.  They may not be the possibilities you want, but there are possibilities.  Open yourself UP to those possibilities, for they can open even more new and exciting possibilities and adventures for you.  You are NOT stuck in that same place or in that same life.  Sometimes you have to ask for help, and sometimes you just have to look around and see the opportunities that life has for you.  Remember today is full of limitless possibilities!
