What's Your "Thinking" ...Thinking?

Our thoughts are more powerful than our words, actions or deeds. They create the foundation for our beliefs, judgments and life choices.


To often we let others shape our thoughts for us and end up in a different reality than we expected.


It seems easier to go with the flow most of the time without determining if that is the correct path for us to follow.

We create our reality by the thinking inside our thoughts. What we see as our path becomes our future. Always determine if what you want is what YOU are creating, if not, change your thinking to reflect that desire instead.

Think carefully what you really are seeking and allow the universe to  respond in kind. Accept responsibility for your truth and freely move toward a loving and productive future.

 

Choosing Your Life!

Although things like a parents death or someones decision to suddenly move demands your attention, ordinary life still marches on.

Both of our toilets chose this time to malfunction. Finding time to schedule a plumber was practically impossible, but none the less needed done. Thankfully he showed up yesterday at 9 am and things flow fine now.

Also we had determined to get a new car several weeks ago but that too had to be put off, until last night.

Now, we finally get to the point of today's blog. I can sum it up with a name. Lundy Orlando Bell. We first met him last Saturday when we went out looking for our vehicle.

"What is remarkable about Lundy", you ask? For one thing he definitely proves you can't tell a book from its cover. First impression were not all that favorable.

But then you get an opportunity to know him better. He is 85 and still works about 50 hours a week. He dances jitter bug every weekend he can, and walks about 7 miles at twin lakes every Sunday while listening to Frank Sinatra on his Ipod. He is careful about the food he eats and has respect for his body.

His mother died when he was three days old and his father gave him away. The family he thought his own, told him to get out at fifteen, who knows the reason. He got a priest to lie about his age so he could get a job with working papers. He is a jack of all trades, with only a sixth grade education, and found a path that proved successful for him.

He has no ill feelings towards anyone and refuses to give in to negative thinking. He graciously took care of the women he thought of as his mother for many years when no one else was there.

His success is based upon his amazing positive energy and the concept that he is in charge of his own destiny. He told us he spoke to God and God said he would give him 5 more years, and intends to work every day the lord will allow.

He loves people and simply glows with enthusiasm. His advice to all the young people joining the crew is simple. "Every morning when you put your pants on, it's up to you to decided what you're going to make of it."

So if you want to live to an old age perhaps you should take his advice. Positive energy and positive attitudes affect your physical, emotional and spiritual being. Just ask Lundy.

And, if you are looking for a new car, want an interesting experience and have lots of patience, go to Smails and ask for Lundy Orlando Bell.

So How Is Your Monday Morning?

What kind of a Monday morning person are you?

Every Monday we get an new opportunity to choose how to start our week.

 

Every seventh day we get to do it all over again. If you don't like what you are doing, decide this Monday to change directions down a better path. Try something different this week. Make a new friend. Start up an interesting hobby. Volunteer for a worthy cause. Or perhaps determine to work less and enjoy your family more. Even though it may seems life is in a rut, every week there is an opportunity for change.
