Posting from the Daily Reflection of Sparkpeople

Many of us use an online food log, some may be familiar with Sparkpeople.com as one of those.  Well I signed up for a bunch of stuff to be delivered to my e-mail and thought that perhaps some of what I get could be useful to you too and am sharing this as food for thought. . .

Believing In Yourself

Limitations can either define us or give us a challenge to outwit. When you look at your abilities, do you see boundaries and limits, or do you see possibilities and potential? Obsessing about weaknesses can blind us to the untapped abilities we already have. You have talent. Everyone does. The secret to success is to find that talent, develop it and pu**** as far as you can. Grandma Moses might have been a lousy bowler, Einstein probably couldn't sing a lick, Michelangelo could've been unable to speak well in public. So what? They knew what they were good at and rode that pony. Your talent might be right in front of you: where do you get the most compliments? What seems to come easily to you? What do people ask your advice for? Live there. Don't let the rest get in the way.


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

Yes, I have used it. I'm not crazy about it....at first I thought it would be easy to use every day but I find other sites easier.... just my opinion.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Oh my gosh Laureen I so needed this today. I have been going through some depression lately. You know the kind, whoaa is me. 
Of course it doesn't help that I was in a car accident and my car is totalled.  
I'll just have to pick myself up and dust myself off, I will survive!

Love Ya,
Dorothy

Dorothy,

Sorry to hear you had a car accident and the car got totalled, but thankfully you are ok and that's what matters most of all!

Hugs, Laureen

Hi Margo,
          It was on October 15th on my way home from work. I am still a little sore but on the mend.
 
Thanks for your concern, it is much appreciated.
