Providing The Effort ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 37 of 366 ~ 02/06/12

If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. 

When lost, they will find another way. 

The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether

 successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable.

: o ) E. O. Wilson

OK,  so my team for the day won.  Ok, yeah I am not a NE Patriots fan, thats no secret.  But the effort provided by both teams should not go unnoticed.

The effort that the teams put forth made this game an awesome presentation.  Great Game and not a bad effort by either coaching staff.  It was pure desire by the New York Giants that won this game.

Players making catches when they had to be made.  Doing their job, when it had to be done.  Period.

How often do you know your role in the world.  Your job, to provide space for all, acceptance for all and love for thy neighbor.

How often do you provide that love?  How often do you hold back that negative comment about a co-worker or a supervisor and just 'DO THE JOB'.  

Yes today is a Monday, the first day back to work.  If your a NY Giant fan its a little more pleasurable.  We get to shout from the roof tops that 'our team' won.  Don't know the last time that 'we' got paid of course by any team, but I get the passion of the moment.

So lets break this down so that even a preschooler could catch it.

Know thy role in the world to be kind to one another.  Smile at one another, accept one another no matter what color of skin they possess.  Love one another just as our creator loved us and created us to do wondrous things for each other.

What a wonderful world we could be if we just caught this and lived this.

Live with that spoken gratitude.  Live with laughter in your heart.  Live with the golden rule that says 

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'

Live and love, dream big, stay hungry and stay foolish and keep laughter in your heart.

Oh yeah and keep on Smiling!

Weekly Affirmation for this week.
My life has limitless possibilities.  I choose to live each moment with love and acceptance.  Every time I breathe in and breathe out I feel more at peace and powerful.   I choose with confidence my dreams and goals.  Only I alone can place limits on my success.  I am loved, I am grateful and I am designed to be successful in everything that I put my best efforts towards.  Successful and loving people come into my life today.

Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
