How To: BE SPECIFIC on a MOnday MOrning Thoughts!

Yep

Nana Took That Awesome Picture

Love it

Good morning Monday morning!
OK, what if I told you I'm just sitting here feelin' inspired this morning with my fresh squeezed ORANGE JUICE TO START MY DAY???

Wouldn't believe me would ya? LOL
heehe
Ah... you're right, coffee in hand, yummmm
good too! Sunday was picture perfect!
Spent it with dearest friends on Lake Tarpon... the water was awesome... the sun.. awww... Well are you ready for this???
Yipee... my first flip from the bow of the boat... ??? I don't mean to blow my own horn but.... "BEEP BEEP"  but... lost my whole daggone bathing suit!!! eeegad... too funny...
if there was an alligator, it beat it to be sure, and my friends were just to hysterical to even dare look!
LaughinMyButtOff just thinking about it!!!
aka, LMBO ~ suit retrieved from around my ankles, all was great, awesome day ~ ~
Well I was followed by the rest of the crew all doing their most remarkable flips between bouts of hysteria all day, which I did not find particularly funny after the first hour or two... but what the hell, that's what friends are for! I will tell you we were blessed to see the Eagle as she flew, and what a sight to behold and then she landed in the tall tree right there on the lake to watch over us and probably enjoy the music along with our antics of the day... Nothing quite beats the protection of Eagle spirit and a day on Lake Tarpon with beloved and true friends... Nothin I can think of anyway...
I so hope that your Sunday was blessed and not stressed. Loved seeing and reading the comments on yesterday's Oak Tree... and the thoughts there... My heart is full from them. Thank you all ~ ' ~ I hope that you know how I treasure your comments and your being here <3

Ready to start your week?
Stand on a desk maybe?
Shout to the world and say,
YES ~ YES ~ YES TO LIFE ~
Now... speaking of saying YES TO LIFE... remember not so many months ago when I wrote my thoughts about that very subject??? Remember when you got all jacked up and just
"pumped up about it?"
C'mon, dig... remember? SAY YES!!!
WELLLLLL... guess what is on the cover of Oprah this month???
             Go on take a wild guess???
Right there on the cover....
               SAY YES TO LIFE
I swear on my life, I read it myself, almost fell in the floor I did... Right there on Oprahs' magazine... and no where, I mean nowhere was my blog... Go figure!
Now how about that for a "shut up", "wake up", "how do you do"!!!

Now I'm thinking we talk here a whole lot about standing UP...we have talked for months about "SAY YES" "OWN THE DAY", "SAY YES TO YOUR LIFE" "STOMP" ~ and about your choices...
so perhaps we need to talk about needing to be specific... and the need to always "have a heart" hahaha and of course you already know the importance of humor in all things...
Think this will get me on Oprah?

Be Specific my friends!



It's just not good enough to make a vague plan. To dream fuzzy.
     You must be specific.Yes, it takes work! 
Design the outcome with as much detail as you can muster. This is true in every thing we do, every dream we create.

Sometimes we are too vague because we don’t take the time necessary to commit to the outcome we really desire.
The details predict the outcome. Let me try to round out this thought.
If we have a sorta plan, we sorta define it. In doing that we leave a lot of wiggle room. We somehow believe the universe will deal with the details, and deal it does.


Lilly Tomlin once said,
“I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific”.

She a hoot, but there is truth to what she says. It is all in the details.
If we really commit to seeing the outcome, we should be specific.
The garden you Plant, with the idea of creating a beautiful space, if not planned carefully, and planted with great thought, may just be a “blooming mess”.
The tall flowers in the front, obscuring the low growing border plants.
The trellis vines may spill all over the ground and smother the delicate stalks that would have thrived if only planted in the right order.
In following this analogy, even the soil must be prepared.
A garden will not bloom fully in depleted, unfertilized soil.


So as we plan for our future, build our dreams, do we really want to leave very much to chance?
 Not I.
I trust the universe to provide me with all the tools I need, all the creativity to develop a sound plan, but I trust most the helping hand at the end of my own arm.
I plan for success. I know that a thousand failed attempts leads to that success.
So I push my vision forward. Putting an appropriate amount of action in driving my plan, but first I carefully define the outcome. I enlist trusted help from others.
There are always a million ways to arrive at the same destination.
 My route may need to be revised accordingly, but the destination is fixed.
 Plan to succeed in all that you do, but plan. You may find that an elaborate imagination is more important than the specific skills or knowledge.
The is a finite amount of knowledge in this world, but there is no limit to our imagination.
That is how inventions come about, how medical research is developed. In the imagination.




Henry Ford once said that if he had asked people what they wanted, they would have said “faster horses”. Do you feel me here?
 Henry imagined the automobile. And so it was. He invented the car.
 Imagine the outcome if he had not strayed from popular opinion, and had focused instead on faster horses

Think BIG.
                 Be GREAT.
Because you can.
 Because you are already a success. You know I always say, see it, believe it, receive it. But see it clearly. Plan for success in everything you do. You cannot fail.



If we see only success, a setback is only a moment in time. It is not the end of the plan, the death of the dream, it is only an opportunity to step back and reevaluate, a chance to see it as an opportunity to fine tune, to try another tactic. Because we know in advance that we will see our plan to fruition. That we cannot fail. We can stumble, we can fall, but we will not lay down and stay down. We will not give up, because we are destined to succeed.


So do not give energy to the nay sayers. Give no credence to those that scoff at your plan because they are comfortable with a lack of success, or are afraid to fly.
Be your own cheerleader.
BE YOUR OWN QUARTERBAck ~ be YOUR OWN BAND ~ 
Believe in you.
Know where you are going, play along the way. Laugh at your own mistakes, but charge forward with your full knowledge and confidence. You will achieve fully what you set out to accomplish. So set the bar high and rise to the occasion.
