Thought for the Day

Limited expectations yield only limited results. - Susan Laurson Willig

Our thoughts determine our actions, and when our thoughts are negative, our successes are few. What we hold in our mind is certain to be reflected in the day's activities. And we are capable of fueling our thoughts possitively, if we choose to.

Positive self-assessment and uplifting pep talks can become habitual if our desire to live up to our potential is great enough. The expectations we privately harbor, be they small or far-reaching, will set the pace for the progress we make today, and every day.

We can greet a challenge with eager anticipation when we've grown accustomed to believing in our capability for success. First, we must expect to handle, with poise, whatever confronts us.

Noone but me determines my course today. My success begins in my mind.

I woke up this morning, pulled out this Book of Daily Meditations given to me by a wonderful lady, one of my best friend's mom. So, I decided that every day I should make it a ritual to wake up and read what the meditation says for that day. The above is one excerpt from the book and I really liked this one. Not to say that the other ones aren't as true, cause they are and are also great to read, but I read this one this morning, and it was like "Wow, that's my thoughts already, just worded so nicely in a book." I also thought it was worth sharing with anybody who is reading.

There isn't much else to write about right now. I have been enjoying the mountain views and the quaint town of Whitefish, MT. It kind of reminds me of a smaller (and a bit chillier) Gatlinburg, TN. The weather hasn't been too bad. I went up into the mountains yesterday and it was snowing big white flakes. Truly beautiful, passing log cabins on the drive up and down.

Thoughts have definitely been going through my head, and I know my sister will make fun of me for this statement, but if I EVER settle down, I believe here might be a real nice place. So much to do around here in the summer and the winter and the fall and the spring. I keep hearing so much about Glacier National Park which is just around the corner, and I can't wait to check it out. There is a ski resort right here in Whitefish for the winter. They have river rafting real close. These are the reasons I have always loved Colorado, and so is are the reasons many people talk about Colorado. But, then if I go to Colorado in the end, wouldn't that be where everybody else is also? Oh, my random thoughts in the head. I'll definitely have time to check out the schools here and get a good feel of life in this area. That's pretty exciting.
