Joy

Happy Monday! What questions do we ask in life? Is it , “Why should I do that?” Or “Why not?” Is it, “Is this enough?” Or “What more can I do?” Is it, “How do I get by?” Or “How do I take it to the next level?” We get what we ask for. We find the answers that we seek. Are you challenging your reality so you could get and give more? Sharing with you this lovely poem to remind us that in life, we can always ask for more. We have a great God 🎄 💒 👑 and He will always give us the best... see? We have Christmas! 

Except ME. This is what I always tell myself when I want to make a short cut or when I want to just be less than what i would want to contribute.  No one will notice, but I WOULD, and I want to be good enough for myself. I am in constant effort to see myself through.  This does not only apply to chasing success (frankly, I hardly ever), it also goes for self-care, for my thoughts, for how I want to show up for people. No one will notice, but I would. I am an important part of this mix so I have to satisfy myself too. Even when I discipline other people, I let them know the same.... when they want to give less, no one will notice... but I would, and it will not be OK.  Most importantly, it should not be ok for them as well. They should feel good of what they become. What  people notice are outside successes.  But it is the little things that you do for others and for yourself that matters. They are seeds for outside successes...when success happens, it is just the fruit,

We all want to be successful.  The thing is, we may not define success the same way.   Needless to say, however which way we define our own personal success, reaching our goals will add to our joy.  While knowing in what area and how we want to be successful is important in this quest, these are not the focus of our blog today.   Today we focus on WHY we want to be successful.    The last thing we want to find ourselves in is to be in a situation where all the trimmings of success is staged and yet find that place in our lives empty and void of meaning.  So whilst we work to see the standards we pegged to define our success met, let us also be clear with what it is for.   What will you do with your success?  Obviously, I could not answer that for you.  Only you can answer that.  However, I invite you to think this over while we close the year and write down those GREAT New Year goals.  Let us look into these questions so we could add both direction and depth t
