If you have rules, but don’t follow them, then they are not rules. 

If you make commitments, but don’t honor them, they are not commitments. 

If you have beliefs, but don’t support them with actions, they are not beliefs. 

Speak your heart, but control your mind. 

Sometimes, 

all we need, 

is someone to see us. 

We can all choose to see those around us. 

Those who can…

Navigate effectively the situations they are in but didn’t create,

Be grateful amidst the expectations of greater things,   

Focus on their purpose no matter the distractions, 

Show compassion even when in personal turmoil, 

Give kindness without expectations of return, 

Are living a full life of meaning and contentment. 

Resisting reality is an easy path towards feeling unsettled, anxious, and depressed.

Accept reality, embrace reality, and then do the work to make reality work in your favor. 

Courage is often started and then fueled by true commitment. Once a real commitment is made, it becomes easier to do the right thing while at the same time many previously unconnected aspects will fall into place. Many obstacles will be removed, and your commitment becomes manifested reality. 

Supporting others is more beneficial than trying to support your ego. 

How we see ourselves, is a direct reflection of how we act. 

Sometimes being unselfish means others take advantage of you. 

The more you serve, the more they take. 

Therefore, to prevent being taken advantage of, creating firm boundaries is a good idea. 

 

 

Thank you for your your dedicated service and kindness, Happy Birthday, Emilie! 

 

 

Actions prove belief. 

Behavior shows heart. 

Actions and behavior are evidence of commitment. 

 

 

Thanks for always expressing your commitment Jake! … Happy Birthday!!!
