This morning as I awaken to a new day,  I Thanked God that I know where I am and who I am.  So often we complain about the life that we have, but Thank you God for life.   

We would like to live life fully, but when it comes to walking the talk, we are not sure how to live.  Live your authentic life by being who you are, what God intended you to be. Take what God has given you, and create joy within that life.

Do what it takes to keep that blood pumping. Exercise and eat well.  Live to minimize the stress and aggravation in your life. Drama is for movies, lies are for Pinocchio, and only honesty and truth are of God. Live your best life by putting God first, you second and the rest will fall neatly into a life that is healthy.

Just as some of us carry a grudge book, few if any carry a good deeds book. The good deeds book is the golden book that we keep close to the heart. It is where we acknowledge the good things that others have done to and for us. Some people find it easy to hold a  grudge than to praise the good that one does.. 

As humans we have it programmed in our DNA that people are suppose to be good, to do good things for us. We accept that as normal. It is not important if we deserve it or what it may have cost the doer, it is only important that we benefit thinking that we deserve all good.. 

As you make this journey, do not quickly begrudge someone for their action then forget all the good that they have done. While we may believe we are deserving of all good, we have behaviors that can trigger a negative action toward us. Right or wrong, Godly or un-Godly, it happens. 

Examine self and see if you have done unto others as you would have them do unto you.  Whatever you find, do what is required of you to be a better person..

No matter what your circumstances you can rise each new day knowing that God is going to do something good in your life.   We fret unnecessarily over things that are beyond our power to change. For some, complaining is a way of conversing with others. Nothing interesting, nothing uplifting or positive to contribute to the earth's vibrational energy, just complaining. 

When you chose to put yourself into events and circumstances, you must take ownership of the consequences. If I chose a life of high stressed jobs, accept the consequences or change jobs.  If you chose a relationship that is not fulfilling and you chose to stay in it, ownership of the consequences belongs to you.   There are many situations we can control and some we cannot. Complaining about it won't fix it, or ease the pain. 

So place the complaints in the complaint box and spend your talk time on stimulating, rewarding things. Seek that which serves you and the world in a positive way.

Why be a bad duplicate of someone else when you can be the best you.  Imitation can be flattering to the person you are imitating but it diminishes you and what you have to offer.  It prevents You from applying yourself to find your inner skills and talents and sharing them with the world. 

We search for people to lead us, we search for someone with a bright idea so that we can copy it, we search for a fashionista to copy their fashion genius, and we forget that within our "spirit" lies many untapped resources fighting to get out.   Great artist, designers, writers and Leaders did not fall from the womb being good at what they do. With desire, attitude and adventure they found a starting point and they built on that foundation. They searched and researched for ideas and ways to improve their skills.  But if you don't have the hunger to achieve,  you sit on the sidelines of life waiting for someone else to "ACT" never knowing the wonders that lie within your well on knowledge and wisdom.

Answers always lie within the "spirit." Look within for the original you and what you wish to achieve. Build on that foundation and develop your talents. Then you become a role model for a young achiever and not a bad copy of one who has achieved.
