The Simple Power of Intention

The Simple Power of Intention

It’s simple really.  Once you set your mind to do a thing, you can probably do it.  What a simple principle. 

Tonight, as I sat down, I told Carolyn I was going to write three blogs before going to sleep.  I need to publish my weekly newsletter, and here I go.  This is Number 3.  One to go before sleep calls. 

I have intention.  INTENTION!

This, by the way, is not a bragging post.  It is, perhaps, an encouraging word to someone who has a burning desire to do a thing and all you need is a kick in the backside and a reminder to add intention to your formula. 

Perhaps you’ll pull off your latent dream yet.

I hope so.

Intention works.

This is what is

on my mind today.

Savior the Memories

Savor the Memories

I’m sitting enjoying one of the great water-view sights in Seattle at Lowell’s Restaurant in Pike Place Market.  I have my sights on a lovely cruise ship – The Norwegian Bliss. 

Memories of two other cruises flood my mind.  I can see and relive so much of both of those cruises.  I love memories. 

A few years ago, I started a file of my early childhood memories and stories I remembered.  Those become more cherished as the years float by. 

It’s past history.  How important is that?  We are reminded of where we came from, and how we survived.  We relive the good and the bad, and learn from it all. 

If I let them, my memories prompt me and affect my todays.  I’m thankful for what I’ve gone thru, and anticipate making lots more memories.  My cardiologist, before heart surgery, told me he could give me another twenty years.  Oh my.  I think I’ll take those precious gifts. 

Time to make more memories.

This is what is

on my mind today.

Insight Again

Insight Again

What a great quote from Mr. Ford.  He bucked the tide.  He looked beyond the words and wants and saw the future.  He saw the need, and then produced it.

Insight!  That’s what Mr. Ford had. 

As did Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, the Space program, the maker of Velcro, the Wright brothers, and a thousand other futuristic minds.

I still love this quote by Steve Jobs:

Living the Dash

Living the Dash

Walk in any cemetery and you’ll find headstones that read something like this: 

John Smith

1910-1994

Note the dash.  What did John Smith do during all those years of his life?

What indeed.

What am I doing since my birth, and what about you?

We live.  We make an impact.

Some of us create.

Some build.

Some manage.

Some raise families.

Some sing, or write or act.

Life happens, and we move through it.  Ah, but what is our contribution?

I’m not trying to cram into my dash as much as possible.  Some do, and if that is their speed, then go and do.

Anymore, I’m going for quality.  I’ll pause and smell a rose on Sunset as Carolyn and I walk along.

I’ll stop and enjoy a few bars of music coming from unexpected outdoor speakers.

I’ll smile and wave at small children and laugh at their giggles and smiles.

I’ll keep writing insights as they come along.  I’m still searching for the idea for the blog heard ‘round the world.

I’ll keep living and breathing.

I’ll keep whispering “I love you” to CB.

I’ll keep saying words of hope and encouragement to those nearby.

And I’ll keep hoping.  I’ll hope my fellow man and I can continue to get along.  I’ll hope my government will rule wisely, with consideration for all of us.

And I’ll trust in the God of my understanding. 

And when my dash ends …

Memories of something I’ve said, or written, or done, may linger in someone’s mind and keep me alive a few breaths longer.

This is what is on

my mind today.
