SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: thanks takes to flight

“To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.”     ~ Victor Hugo, poet, novelist & activist
 
Indeed, I am a Christian who cherishes Christmas and Easter for their innate awesome events and subsequent movements throughout the world.  But there is nothing quite like Thanksgiving.  Tis the most meaning-full holiday of the year, I believe…a truly holy day…  that crosses all boundaries and binds all faiths and followings.  It is a simple opportunity to gather without agenda, without guilt, without gaudiness and overpriced ticket items, without marketing schemes or madness. 
 
Pure in nature and message: GIVE THANKS for all you have in your life and FOR YOUR LIFE!  And share that with one another.  That’s it, folks.  A day that beckons you to drop your minutia-filled week and come together to connect and share and show love.  Not as difficult as some of us seem to make it.  And even if miles separate your loved ones, you’d be amazed how far your thoughts and prayers of peace and positivity can travel.  So this year, friends, with full heart I wish you all a simple, pure, love-filled and blessed Thanksgiving.  Further, I pray that you continue to give and show thanks every day thereafter.  It’s not that difficult.        ~  KD

SOAPBOX® mini-motivation: Feel FREE to forgive!

     Let me guess…”FREEDOM” to you meant FREE to take off for the weekend; FREE to eat and drink to your heart’s content; FREE to sleep in and take it easy; FREE to see friends you haven’t for a while; FREE to do the American Dream “thing” and coast through a long weekend. 

Hopefully, in spots and spells, though, you respectfully reflected on the significance of July 4th…perhaps even mulled over the expansive definition of FREEDOM.  Indeed the onomatopoetic power of this simple word sings of open fields, endless choices, lawless future, and flight of the imagination. 

It also offers to drop our own chains of that which holds us back…which we have allowed to hold us back.  FREEDOM urges us to let the past go, but never forget its value.  For countless nations, including ours, FREEDOM comes from forgiveness of faults, fumbles and fights.  If our country can do it…perhaps you can stand up and do the same.

So….whatcha made of? What kind of skills have you got? When was the last time you thought about how capable you really are and forgave yourself for that which you just aren’t so hot at? It comes down to two little words: capitalize and minimize, folks. Figure out what that means and you and your DNA will have a field day taking on the rest of your life.

SOAPBOX of the week: refresh your formula

“The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race.”     ~ Don Marquis, American humorist & journalist

     When asked for the proverbial “recipe for success” most folks ramble off a regurgitated list of requisites, like hard work, networking, tenacity; perhaps a gameplan and willingness to make sacrifices….and toss in a pinch of faith.  Yup, a practical concoction of generic brand components that makes for a yet pathetically tasteless formula.  Like Aunt Marva’s annual casserole that no one has the heart to tell ain’t worth the reused take-out tin that it’s in.  But, dare I say, I think what’s infinitely more important is identifying which ingredients should be eighty-sixed from your pantry indefinitely.  I mean, how long have you been trying to concoct a killer soufflé of success with a grocery list of a sedentary lifestyle, ex-spouse issues, fear of failure and lack of accountability?  Do you really think combining poor organization, procrastination, and no rewards or relaxation will fluff up into a batch of mouth-watering, enviable delectables?  So stop tossing the same crap in your cart!  You don’t have to be Martha or Emeril to realize the results you seek.  Clean out the cluttered cupboards and coolers and start from scratch, folks!  A fresh, bold, more vivid perspective will open up a whole new world and empower you to cook up a truly fulfilling, flavorful life.

SOAPBOX of the week: the melody of epiphany

“Never underestimate the power of listening.”     – Anonymous 

So, you’ve heard that song a million times, tapped your foot to it, even sang along.  But one random radio-logged day, your steel-trap mind somehow sifts through the memorized words to unveil eerily profound meaning and magic…and something just shifts.  A veritable musical masterpiece colors your eardrums with a delightful enlightenment as the crooner sings directly to an audience of one.  At once, all other soundful distraction is eclipsed; your mind’s attention is fully focused; and understanding floods through every ounce of your being.  Amazing, you think, as the a-ha’s widen your eyes and lift your heart!  All that from just a simple song you’ve heard a million times.  Now, just think of all the points and perspectives you may have missed not truly “tuning in” to the sounds that hold much greater importance –like the voice of your loving spouse, hopeful child, overwhelmed business partner, needy friend, or special stranger… but most importantly yourself.  Prick your ears to hear the music of life and listen closely to embrace the power in its blessed lyrics whispered just for you.
