THE PERSON YOU DECIDE TO BE

 

“The only person you are destined to be

is the person you decide to be.”

                                    Ralph Waldo Emerson

The power to decide. The ability to choose is the greatest trait or

power a human being has. Yes, the environment, body, and conditions

we are born into play a role, but we always have the power to

decide. Decide how hard we want to work. Decide where we want to

go. Decide who we want to be around. Decide our point of view. How

we choose to see things. Interestingly, when we start to do the work,

learn, be courageous, be curious, follow our heart, things start to

happen. Doors open. Opportunities crop up. We just must be mindful,

stay aware, get started and keep going. We need to earn our way and

work hard to our destiny and divine Providence, but when we prepare,

work hard, follow our intuition, forces no one can explain intervene

and guide us. Reinforce us. Invigorate us. Push us a certain way but

it is the combination of good choices based on core values combined

with doing the work, divine Providence and fate that takes us to our

decided destiny.

GOOD NEWS!

GOOD NEWS

“The good news is that you don’t know how great

you can be! How much you can love! What you

can accomplish! And what your potential is!”

                                    Anne Frank

How much we can help someone or our community. What a difference

we can make. What an impact we can have. How we feel about

ourselves. What we choose to do. Our point of view. How we see the

world. How we react to what happens. How we control our thoughts.

How we make choices. How we choose to see anything that happens

to or around us. Letting go of the external events that we do not control,

like what other people think or do. Trust that we are capable of so much

more physically or mentally. Bust through that ceiling we place on

ourselves. It is just another form of psychological resistance in disguise.

Keep going! See and explore of what you are truly capable. The good

news is that this is our power. Our choice. So, seize your power. Seize

your choice and act. Mood follows action. Good news indeed!

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: Perfection

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: Perfection:                                                          PERFECTION “To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often.”            ...

Perfection

                                            

 PERFECTION

“To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often.”

                        Winston Churchill

Constant improvement is an excellent goal, perfection is not. I am not

sure perfection even exists. We get so caught up in believing things

must be “perfect” or this or that must be “perfect.” Perfect can be

paralyzing. Perfection is the enemy of good. Sometimes good is good

enough. If we follow one of the most fundamental rules of life, “do your

best” isn’t that all we can do, our best? Be the best version of ourselves

in the moment. We can all improve, constantly. We can do the work,

prepare, and get the job done in the best way we know how and that

is that. If we seek “perfection” we will never get anything done. We

can spend 5 hours getting 99% of the fence painted and then spend

five more hours just finishing those last touches trying to eliminate all

those brush stroke marks, just to make it look exactly perfectly right to

the discerning eye if you can even see it, when it looked pretty darn

good five hours before. What did that additional 5 hours get us?

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: Yin and Yang

Yin and Yang

                                         

YIN AND YANG

“The old age old story of Yin & Yang... Every positive

side has a negative side too. Which are you?”

                                    Timothy Pina

We all have our difficulties, ups and downs, highs and lows, peaks and

valleys, not quite able to find our yin and yang. Why is that? Why the

rollercoaster ride at times? Especially when there is no real reason to

feel down, or up. Why not a steadfast, stable path? Sometimes there

is more rolling around in our minds than we realize. Waiting to boil

over. We feel the need to magnify things, create stress, excitement,

or stir the pot. It is symbolic of a more significant underlying problem

we really need to look at and contemplate. Accept it or do something

about it. Move on or do something about it. But do not dwell on it and

let something that is really nothing suck the energy and lifeblood from

you. Highs and lows, peaks and valleys are a natural part of life, but

we can always look for and take care of getting our yin and yang back.
