SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: one man’s perspective

Posted on July 16, 2012 by admin

“In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.” ~ Stephen Covey, author & worldwide motivator

Spoken by a man who indeed was a motivator, mentor and guiding beacon to the masses. A man who transformed the mystery of life and success of its challenges to layman basics. A man who empowered us to understand ourselves, change our habits and live with newfound perspective, dynamic purpose and unwavering optimism. In his living, he stood for that which many of us aspire to be. Knowing him and of him, may we continue to try more, do more, become more, love more and LIVE more. ~ KD

SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: are you in the weeds?

Posted on July 8, 2012 by admin

“But a weed is simply a plant that wants to grow where people want something else. In blaming nature, people mistake the culprit. Weeds are people’s idea, not nature’s.” ~ Anonymous

WEEDS… Some folks have quipped they are but unloved flowers, sins of the earth, plants with undiscovered virtues. Whatever eloquence you elect, they are the bastardly, unforgiving THINGS that get in the way of blooms of our most precious prayers and wishes… flowers and fruits of our labors that bring priceless joy. Joy from a gorgeous front yard of fragrance, a harvest-filled garden or orchard, a kitchen table of decorations and delicacies.

In brass tacks, weeds are ultimately what get in the way of our JOY. Weeds are the vicious little evils that crowd, choke out, and suffocate all that our hearts desire… that which we expect from all the seeds we tossed into the ground. Weeds…be they proverbial, metaphorical or literal… are the relentless, twisted side-effects of both crappy planting and crappy prepping. Period.

See, so many of us claim to want everlasting blossoms of the ethereal joys of life, like unconditional love, excitement for life, feelings of success, peace, equality, unshakable optimism, newfound perspective, contentment, dynamic purpose… you know your list. Yet none of those vines truly burst through the ground with such offerings. The main reason? We plant, water and sun our seeds in the topsoil of our old foundations… the wrecked, rocky, perhaps even rancid earth that is full of childhood fears, unmovable judgments, unanswered hopes, decaying values, and old paradigms. Both man-made and MIND-made, our weeds strive to see the light yet again. So it only makes sense that when we try to nurture the seeds of our dreams… we are also encouraging the deep-rooted, hidden creepers to sprout and grow yet again.

Folks, if we truly want joy, if we want to LIVE, we’ve got to get on our knees and weed out the weeds. We’ve got to be willing to do the work, till the soil, prepare for a healthy planting of our dreams and goals. We’ve got to be willing to get dirty cultivating the crap hidden in our histories to have our gardens of the future be overgrown with love, peace, perspective, optimism and purpose. I pray for you that you all find the strength, humility and faith to grow your lives with joy, joy, joy. And there is no time like the present to start weeding, my friends.

SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: love… breathe it in

Posted on June 21, 2012 by admin

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” ~ Corinthians 13:4-7

LOVE… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… the best, most perfect four-letter word in all our language, in any language, even without words. Love is the pair to Truth. They live in the same indescribable atmosphere and of the same intangible material. They hummmm the same omnipresent song and thrive on the same omnipotent mission. Indeed, they both live …to live IN US ALL. Yet, Love is the colorful, glorious magic that swirls around us at every moment, asking us to simply breathe in … and in doing so our hearts pulse, our spirits soar, our honor blooms…and we forget about ourselves for the sake of others. Though we exhale, Love is still there… awaiting our invitation again to tickle our minds and make us each closer to Truth and closer to each other. ~ KD

SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: NEVER!

Posted on June 7, 2012 by admin

“Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.”

~ Winston Churchill, UK Prime Minister

Do you have a dream? A fantasy vision? A bucket list? A huge hope? A seemingly impossible reaching-for-the-stars idea? A prayer you’ve been waiting on?

Yeah, me too.

SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: Earth DAY…WEEK…YEAR…LIFETIME

Posted on April 23, 2012 by admin

Well, Earth Day and Earth Week have come and gone… and now what? Do you go back to your old habits of driving to the corner store instead of walking; tossing everything in the garbage because your apartment complex or office still doesn’t have a recycling program; running the water while you brush your teeth?! Folks, celebrating Earth Day isn’t supposed to be a party that you go all out for and then toss it’s memory into your rusty pile of annual “do-good” days. You should be celebrating what EARTH PROVIDES FOR US and, in turn, making lifelong changes to ensure that this planet CAN keep taking care of us. I hope that sometime very soon, all of us, as a connected human race, will have the ultimate paradigm shift and SEE with truly open eyes what evil we are doing to our planet and what good is IN US to change our mentality to one of appreciation, concern, and action…. every day! ~ KD

Here is a SOAPBOX® mini-motivation from 2008 that still echoes truth today:

“To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.” ~ Wendell Berry, philosopher, novelist and social activist

It’s about time we stopped snickering at Al Gore, the forewarning NPR folks and tree-hugging, hybrid hippies…because they might be onto something! It’s about time we stopped being so selfish and purposefully merged as Humankind for the simple Darwinian hopes of perpetuating our existence by strengthening our collective homebase – we call Earth! For, not seeing is believing. When a species of animal disappears, we must rescue braver. When a strain of plant disappears, we must think greener. When snowcaps are melting, swallowing up islands and life, we must conserve stricter. Amidst the chatter of economics, religion and war, don’t miss the underconversation of environment, culture and interdependent community. My fellow EARTH-lings, we must research cleaner, protect fiercer, commit firmer, explore broader, spend wiser, educate brighter. May we all look back after long, fulfilling lives to proclaim that we are survivors and all did our part. It’s our time to think globally…and act globally.
