Daily BITUB- “Investing in Chances”

I hear people talk often about investing in themselves. They say all the right things, and even on the surface appear satisfied. Yet that satisfaction doesn't translate into fulfillment. There is no joy in what they have done because it wasn't ever anything they actually wanted to do. They didn't have the courage to follow their heart. Over the years I've met people who are happy. They are filled with love and joy because they love life and how they are living it. They aren't concerned with status, with wealth, fame, power. They are powerful in their way as they have complete control over their way of thinking. The investments they make are intentional. So, are ours? From the books we read, the social media we allow to influence us, what we eat to be healthy, the time we spend with God - they are all investments we decide we will or won't make in ourselves. I used to tell people I don't have time for that. Until I realized "that" wasn't at all what I really wanted. Remove the unwanted investments that create regret, animosity, false foundations and start putting your energy into the you that you want to be. Give yourself a chance by creating one. Chances are you will start to have time for all the things that make you simply want to find a way to invest more of you into "that".

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you allow yourself to step back and reflect on all the wonder of life and your ability to capture those things that matter most.

Have a blessed and healthy day everyone.

Daily BITUB- “GPa’s Servant Heart”

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalm 23:1)

It's been an emotional few days. Highs, lows, tears of sadness, tears of joy and celebration of life. When I think back on my GPa I think about moments he must have had with everyone he came in contact with. I've heard stories that made me cry and stories that made me laugh. To me, my GPa lived a full life that was all about others. He took what he had in him in his cooking, his building skills, his hospitality and gave it out freely, wanting nothing in return. The joy it brought to others mattered, though you could never compliment him because he didn't want that. A friend of mine said, "What a legacy he left." It is a legacy. One of family, faith, love, and a servant heart. A servant heart that continues to fill mine every time I think of him, which I won't ever stop doing. Your life was a legacy GPa. If we all led with a servant heart and put others first, I'm certain life as we know it would be very different. It's a legacy, and I am blessed to do my part to live my best life in hopes that I may honor it with you as a goal and a guiding light. We will miss you, and we will continue to love and live exactly as you would have expected us to.

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you remember just how precious life is. That you allow yourself time to soak up the moments and you never take for granted an opportunity to give, to love, and to be everything you can be.
