Monday; June 1

With all the stuff on TV these days, periodically we have to take a break and watch the Hallmark Channel.  The other night we were watching a Hallmark movie and heard something I’d never heard before.  In dealing with the challenge at the heart of the movie, the question was raised if someone was a “warrior or a worrier”.  As soon as I heard that, I figured I would have to share it.  We live in a time when it so easy to worry about things.  There are so many things that seem to be outside our control that it becomes easy to stress about them.  Yet, how would our lives change if we stopped worrying about things and started feeling confident in our abilities to overcome the odds?  I am not taking about being reckless – just aggressive.

Do we feel apprehensive because we don’t want to make mistakes?  Do we lose our confidence because of what we feel others might think of us?  I have never been a big advocate of the concept of seeking forgiveness rather than asking permission, but how would things change if we started trusting ourselves and did what we think we should do? (Notice I didn’t say “trust in ourselves”, rather I said, “trust ourselves” – I think there is a substantial difference.)  Let’s do the best we can to make a mark on our world and make a difference with our lives.  In other words, let’s be warriors, not worriers.

Think About It!
