"How to Lead a balanced Life" by Todd Stocker

So how should we keep our balance between our past, present and future? Try this: “Glance at the past. Work in the present. Focus on the future.” Glance at the past. When I was biking, it occurred to me that my problem wasn’t the look into what I passed but rather the length of the look. Glancing is better than looking. Your past is helpful but don’t get stuck. Remember past events with the attitude of a learner but only briefly. Let yesterday’s success and failure be guides for today’s activities. Five percent of your time should be spent here. Work in the present. In other words, be in the moment. Establish your priorities and goals and be diligent on what needs to be done today. Seventy percent of your activity should be engaged here. Focus on the future. Look forward to where you want or need to go. Where your eyes are fixed is where the rest of your “biking” will take you. Twenty-five percent of your focus should be set here. Finally, remember that God says not to worry about yesterday or tomorrow and not to waste the day that He gave you. He also encourages you and me to enjoy the journey with all of its bumps and success!

"Living in the Moment"

"October Festival" of Colors

Happy First Day of October:
There's a revelry of crisp autumn air especially outdoors--almost like replenishing your soul. You can tell summer has made its exit. And my heart thrills for deeper connecting ; to the layers of meaning that the beauty of subdued colors of Leaves;  taking my inhibitions and fears simply fall away with them---even for just for a brief season...I'll take that!

What Propels Me To Do This October...
Hope to strip away what my physical eyes always sees which is the outward -momentary, partial gratification of things; instead be mesmerized by the season's tapestry of God's treasures: Nature's exquisite colors. 

May the season brings you, me, and everyone who reads my blog rich dimension of dedication, passion and the commitment to what our hearts desire like a heaven to our souls...

"Random Snapshots" Today

I make a point now that every time I get into my car, my camera is just within reach for eye-catching snapshots. This one was taken @ 3:13 pm today coming home from work.  I was waiting for the light to turn green ; on a ramp. I have always been fascinated, even when I was a child to anything panoramic; for my mind to condense and for my heart to contend...

My neighborhood ...It seemed to me that this is one of the afternoons that made me feel that I am where God has put me to live until then...Quiet, quaint and "home."Add caption

What could be clearer than a blue sky as mere clouds slowly making their exit ...A beautiful day to remain true to what really moves you to be alive. God is in the details, no doubt.dd caption

"It Will Rain..."

< ...And it did rain--in the physical and in the spiritual realm. And as the song goes, "there will be no sunlight and clear sky without you in my mind."

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

"As I Stand Tall..."

Chances are...something that happens unpredictably without discernible human intention or observable cause. Ever wonder how often an event happen with little knowledge about probability or cannot be foreseen in your life? I believe that God has given us the power of discernment that equates to our faith. That inherent wisdom that we may try to fall upon the shadows of our eyes; those regrets that travel and push us into the wrong pursuits or mull over our choices and prayerfully work them out. Climb out of it that you might recover the joy you have lost.

"God longs to bless your life with wisdom and to bring you to the crest of a hill where you can catch a glimpse that will take your heart a sobering truth that God's fingerprints cover everything--the places of misery and tragedy most of all. That despite the dismal circumstances, the vestiges of truth about His grace over your life gives you rest; God's grace is greater than your Past!

Happy Wednesday!
