Some people tend to doubt themselves around every turn, while others find a way to have an abundance of confidence. It’s definitely important to have confidence in yourself, but with being a human the everyday challenges you experience can bring doubt right to your face. But there are ways to conquer doubt and I’m going share three of them with you.

1. Don’t allow what people say or think they know about you, get you down.

2. Always know that making a mistake can be a learning process and it doesn’t have to be a problem. So take it, think about it, and then allow yourself to react in a corrective positive manner.

3. Last but not least, from the beginning of each day tell yourself that you are able and believe it, that way you will give yourself the upper hand, because if you don’t believe in yourself, you can’t allow others to believe in you.

When the morning comes and the burden is heavy

Take your time because I’m here

Lean on me and just believe

Because I’m always standing near

And it’s never too late to let go of the fear

The fear that lies in your heart is only there for you to remember

That it’s time to turn to love and hope

And let the fear go

So you can go where the love is strong

And your hope has no fear

Yes you can lean on me and trust

Trust in you and what you feel in your heart

Take your time

Cause this is the way to where I’ll be

And I will be Standing With You

Forever,

If someone asked you the question, do you have everything you need, your first thought would probably be no. The reason for this is most people are on a continual search for more of whatever they need. Some would say it’s important to be of outer content, but really if you search your soul you would find there is an ever-lasting desire to consume more for growth.

By design I feel that any mind that is thinking has a trigger that gives them the drive to look for advancement in their day-to-day progression. The only situation that challenges this particular perception is, the direction and content of what you choose to allow for your mind and soul to receive.

For instance; you’re given a choice of getting a job where you would supervise people and give you what some say is power or you’re given a choice to receive a job that would allow you to work alongside others doing what you like doing most. The choice being, is what is it that determines power for you? True power is not what’s determined outwardly, because this is only a presumption that is individually assuming for your life’s prosperity. It is the thing that drives your inner being that gives you the power and not the situation that stands on the outside looking in.

So when you ask yourself, if you have everything you need, make sure within your answer there is a great factor of what it is that truly drives what you desire most and who you see yourself to be.

Still getting what I need,

Being kind is something that exists in all of us, for many it just needs to be brought to the surface. I was thinking about how people go about relating in a kind manner, why, because this is something I think about everyday, goodness. Here are 10 different ways I’ve shared a kind thought with others and some other ways I’ve seen and experienced by other people.

1.     During the Christmas holiday, my daughter and myself where driving across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco and an idea popped into my mind. It was a random thought to pay the toll of the next car that came behind me through the tollgate. It was to be a thought of pure kindness without any strings attached, solely designed to share some love.

2.     While surfing the net I ran across one of the most positive websites on the Internet. It’s called named the RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) and it is full of totally positive thoughts and gestures. The website is dedicated to encouraging people to help others through random acts. I feel so good about it, I feel it is only right that share with you. Definitely check it out, http://www.rak.co.nz/

3.     One of my favorite acts of kindness is, when I walk by someone I’ve never met and I say hi and smile and give them a compliment and they kindly reciprocate with saying hi and a smile.

4.     Another is, one time I left my lights on in my commute car one night and my neighbor knocked on my door to let me know.

5.     For me and I’m sure many others, one of the top acts of kindness is when our country has a national emergency and despite our individual differences, we come together to overcome the problem.

6.     When I first move into my neighborhood, my four closest neighborhoods took time to not only welcome my family and I, but went out of their way in making sure we felt welcome.

7.     Each time I see an adult take time to help a young person in finding their way to stay on the right path.

8.     You get to a door at a department store first and you step back to allow the people directly behind you to go in first, as you hold the door.

9.     Coming off the freeway and you come to a stop light where there’s a person holding a sign saying “need food” and you have some fruit in a bag on the back floor and you reach back and give it to them along with a smile and a blessing.

10.A hot day and you come out of a ice cream parlor with an ice cream cone and you see some little kid staring at you, and you take them in to and buy them their own ice cream cone. The smile on their face is the act of kindness for me.

When it comes to sharing your time with someone, you mostly do it with your family or a close friend and you find it mostly satisfying. But there is also another very important need to be filled that deals with giving and it doesn’t have to be a lot of time involved. What I’m talking about is mentoring, taking time to spend with another in order to help them develop, control or create a better way for them. It’s taking the time to do something of consequence or value. What most people who think about mentoring may not understand is, this is also a fulfilling situation for them also, just think: to give is to receive. As you share your time, you share your thinking, love and understanding. Helping to create the possibility of encouragement and development of another human being. Is there anything greater you can do with your spare or given time? Mentoring, it can be a life changing involvement.

Giving time,

For must people we know who comes first and that obviously is the one who creates the prospective for you to be first. But no, I ask the question concerning all of us who put their faith in the positive energy, which then gives us the sight to see the truth. After that, I feel if you put first the person or situation that is deserving, you in return put yourself first. When you do the right choice by putting the truth and deserving first it automatically puts you first by design. So the question is asked again, who’s first? We all are by design, if the truth prevails.

Wanting you to be first,

It’s made-up by many wonders, such as the simple abilities to be able to see, hear and breathe. But truly they are not simple at all, because they are apart of the beauty of the workings of the day-to-day working body of all that live. Often we take for granted the glory that has been bestowed upon us. But while we are on our journey through life we hopefully learn how to appreciate it. For this is one of the more important tasks we come upon on our journey through life.

But one of the biggest problems we experience is the knowledge of viewing life in its most simplistic manner. Sure things can be hard, but they are only as hard as you allow them to be, because in your life you have been given the power of control, the ability to create beauty and the flow of happy or sad. So take the control that is given and apply it to your everyday living, because it is part of the destiny within your life. Its called living life, your life, so don’t just let be, be it.

Loving life at every turn,

Did you ever think to say goodbye when leaving?

Did you ever say thanks even though you thought they knew?

Did you ever take time to listen?

Did you ever ask if they were ok?

Did you?

Did you ever say I love you?

Well if you did, I swear I don’t know why they left your ass.

I did,

Sharing is a commitment that is relevant in our everyday lives. It takes hard work and an understanding of all the parties that are involved. If there are limitations of any degree, it will decrease the possibility of a completed connection of what is important to the success in the challenge. Sharing is not always based on giving and receiving, it also has to do with opening up to someone to allow their views to be a part of yours, in a comprehensive manner.  For instance, if I have a situation that I need to talk to someone about, in order for me to share I would need someone that has an open mind and ear that is willing to listen with an attempt to understand the circumstances. Now this  is based on a successful view of the circumstance at hand. Because, you can give your thoughts at any time to anyone, but that doesn’t mean that it will be received in a way that is conducive to what you need and what it deserves.

Let’s now concentrate on the importance of sharing and the role it plays for the person you are sharing with. Most people feel that the only one truly gaining from the situation is the person who is pulling from the happening, but believe me it is the entire party with in the sharing experience, that  takes away from the experience in equal parts, depending on the role one is participating in. An open heart is an open mind, and an open mind lends to the possibility of a successful sharing situation.

Just sharing with you,
