It is not enough to eliminate the bad,

you must fill the void with good. 

The foundational truth that never changes:

we can always find the evidence of what we “look” for. 

If we are looking to be the victim, we will find the supporting evidence. 

If we are looking for the bad in others, we will find the supporting evidence.

If we are looking for something to be wrong, we will find the supporting evidence.

Choose people.
Serve outward.
Give freely.
Make peace.
Live grateful.
That’s how joy expands and your life truly grows.

Gratitude isn’t a mood.
It’s a mindset that moves your every action. 

Mindset drives behavior.
Actions reveal truth.

If we’re truly grateful, we act like it.

Don’t wait for peace.
Bring it.

Peace isn’t passive.
It’s steady.
It’s courageous.
It’s care in motion.

 

Thank you Emilie for always bringing me peace. Happy Birthday Meu Amor! 

Joy and fulfillment begin when we take responsibility for the good of others.
Not someday.
Today.

Courage is the foundation of compassion. 

Chasing happiness never works. Serving others does. When your attention moves off the mirror and onto the mission, joy shows up.

We aren’t meant to go alone.
We’re built for people.
Compassion. Community. Contribution.

Isolation shrinks us.
Connection expands us.

None of us is a victim of our choices; we might be a victim of the consequences, but we are a willing and active participant in our choices.

No matter how many corrections and adjustments you make, if your foundation isn’t sure, and has you starting off wrong, you’ll never be able to fulfill your potential.
