If kindness is your default, 

then contentment will follow you. 

If forgiveness is a habit, 

then peace will find you. 

 

Passion is always found in doing something we think is too much, too big, too hard, too extreme for us. 

When we approach a goal that is bigger than we are, our passion is ignited and we find that we are bigger than we thought. 

Doing something that makes us bigger helps our lives become bigger, and that is when we fulfill our potential. 

November 19, 2006 was the moment, that one event that I can say is my turning point, the instance when my life changed for the better, forever. The night I met you.

 

There are thousands of reasons I love you, and thousands more of why I need you.

 

Over the past 16 years, you have shown me who you really are. Here are a few characteristics that define who you are to me, to your family, children, and friends:

 

Sexy, Smart  

Warm, Wise

Elegant, Enlivened

Empathetic, Expressive  

Tender, Tenacious

 

Strong, Selfless

Imaginative, Inspired

Xenial, Xenophile

Trustworthy, Talented

Exhilarating, Enchanting

Enticing, Educated

Nurturing, Nourishing

 

Thank you for you love, encouragement, wisdom, and dedication. 

Excuses allow us to avoid the potential of pain that comes from the possibility of failure. Excuses are created and used when we are not committed and usually come from listening to negative emotions that we allow to turn into feelings. When committed we find a way. You can be scared and committed. You can be afraid and committed. Commitment is a decision that has nothing to do with feelings. 

 

 

If we always did what we really believed was right rather than what we think others want from us, we would be so much happier, successful, and satisfied. 

If we are thankful for today, tomorrow becomes better. 

We are not afraid of yesterday. 

We are not afraid of the past. 

We are not afraid of words spoken. 

We are not afraid of actions taken. 

The future is what we are afraid of, tomorrow, the unknown. 

Fear is always about what we do not know or have not experienced. 

Being great requires proof. 

Being great requires results. 

Worthiness as nothing to do with greatness. 

We are all already worthy. 

To be great, we must take action. 

We cannot start from somewhere else. We cannot wait to begin until the time is right. 

We start now to change our future position. The more we do now, the faster we become better. 

Our true power is proven in our resilience, our responses, how we react to the challenges we face. 

Our true power is a combination of the right choices, positive mindset, and real faith. 

Strengthening one key aspect will always strengthen the other two as well.
