Creating for Others

“One knows from daily life that one exists for other people...” Albert Einstein (1879–1955) Swiss

This quote can apply to all of us as we give unto others and make little differences unknowingly.  These small acts of kindness create happiness and bring joy into someone else's garden (life). A small token as helping someone out when they are down on their luck makes a difference.  No thank you is needed if done out of purity.

By the same token, others around us, even a total stranger can create a smile on our face by just making a kind remark, doing something silly, or creating a better world out of kindness.  Think about all the times this quote has applied to you and the times someone existed for you.

This week, let's focus on bringing joy into someone else's garden.  Create joy and happiness for someone else without an expectation of a thank you.  And, if someone creates a better world for you, let them know it.

Persevering Through Uncertain Times

“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found those dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.” Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) Dutch painter 

Encouragement

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.”

I chose this quote today because I felt I needed it.  My failure of fear of failure at this time is not completing my marathon or falling too  far behind of my team to finish.  You see, I was in a car crash yesterday and it was pretty bad.  I am ok besides lots of bruises, swelling and pain.  It could have been worse.  Thank God for seatbelts, airbags, and OnStar.

My coach and my husband will be working with me to catch up with the team but it will be a long road. I just need to keep the faith and keep positive.  I waited this long to make this creation (my participation in the race) happen so I must keep my determination.

You can do just about anything if you want it badly enough.  Keep the faith!

Something To Think About

"Each day when I awake I know I have one more day to make a difference in someone's life."

James Mann (b.  1946), writer

Creating Yourself

I've had a busy day today so I am going to borrow a quote from a very well known creative artist. Tim Holtz.  While at a store today, I came across a project sheet.  The quote on the sheet I thought was perfect.

"Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself....Enjoy the journey."

In the coming days, you will hear more about creating myself since I have already found myself.  Enjoy your creations and share your creativity.
