Value Yourself

As I try again to make a difference, I needed to repost this for myself.  To perhap remember who I really am.  If you see this as for you I hope you embrace it

        Know Your Worth

A father was very proud of his daughter, so proud of all she had accomplished so far.  He couldn't wait to tell his daughter just how much.

He said, "Congratulations on your graduation. 

I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."

But before I give it to you though, I want you to take it to a car dealer in the city see how much they offer you to sell it.
The girl came back to her father and said: 

"They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old".

Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".

The girl returns to her father and said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car and a lot of work needs to be done".

Her father told her to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove to the passionate car club. 

She returned to her father after a few hours and told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100,000 dollars because its a rare car that's in good condition.”

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place.

"Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."

Know your worth.

Know where you 

are valued.

A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.

 

Our Flag

 

I wish that we could say "Thank you for your service" to each of those who paid the ultimate price that gave us the freedom that we still enjoy today.

I feel it is a privilege to be able to thank a serviceman or woman who serve or have served in the United States Military.  It would be wonderful if we never had to see a flag draped over a coffin of a returning servicemen or servicewomen again.  But that is not realistic in the world today.  

Today is the day we remember them and the service that they performed

Negativity Committee

I think this is a must.

As of late, the negativity committee seems to be in full swing for many of us.

It is time to do this NOW.

Are you struggling?

I know I am.

I have no idea where the month of February went.

I swear it was just January, really wasn't it?

 This really says it all

I promise I will never QUIT ... I may say I QUIT when I am totally frustrated but then I will take a deep breath and carry on.

Are you with me?  We CAN do this together.

January 31st already??

Where did the month go? I swear it just flew by.

Weren't we just celebrating the New Year?

There are so many things I wanted to get done this month, before the craziness starts. You know, that time where we have to figure out what we owe the government and how we are going to pay them OR if we are really lucky, how we want them to pay us.

I will NOT stress.

I definitely need to put this into practice every day, or it will be a very long year, without getting the things accomplished that I really want to get accomplished this year.

I do NOT want to be looking at December thinking I wasted the year. I definitely will NOT stress!

A reason?

 Have you ever really thought about this?

Sometimes I wonder, especially when things happen seemingly "out of the blue", what am I suppose to do with this or learn from this?

I know there are all kinds of reasons that things happen, but this really hits it on the head.

Try not to miss the message OR the reason.  

The message may not be to do something, it could be to NOT do something.  Don't be so stubborn and believe that YOU and only you, know what to do. 

Believe it or not, there are times when we really don't know. 

I'm pretty sure we will miss out on something good if we do.  

Follow that dream

 Sometimes I think dreamers have the right idea.

Now don't get me wrong, I am the "practical" one.  Oh I tried to be artistic, but in the long run, that was better left to my sister.  I just wonder if I can be the "practical" one AND the "dreamer"?

What do you think?

Can you be both?  Or do you have to pick one or the other?
