Clarity of Vision

Flint Castle, North Wales

"Clarity affords focus." -Thomas Leonard

Joseph Mallord William Turner, was born in Covent Garden, London on April 23, 1775 and died December 19, 1851. Turner was an English Romantic landscape artist, whose style is said to have laid the foundation for Impressionism.

It is in this painting I see the sun coming up on a new day. The ships are not quite ready to set sail because not all is in focus just yet.

Your dreams or visions are just that, dreams and visions that are not yet in focus.

Now is the time to start wiping the sleep from your eyes and finding clarity. By stepping forward, by beginning your movement forward, the picture will start to become more clear. It will gain clarity and allow you to set sail.

Stay inspired my friends.

Get Yourself

"One of the most powerful spiritual gifts we have is encouragement. Encouragers defend, inspire and believe in people." -Dean and Jill Sweetman

There are four keys to having a positive attitude and enabling your ability to encourage others.

1. Learn to encourage yourself and develop relationships with encouraging people.
2. Remove unnecessary discouraging influences from your life and let everything be done to build up your spirit.
3. Watch, read and listen to what builds you up.
4. When circumstances challenge you determine ways to keep a great attitude.

These four keys are a simple and easy way to remember that your attitude makes all the difference.

Get yourself in order...you can be the biggest inspiration to yourself if you simply try.

Get yourself in a good place...where bad attitudes are not an influence to deter you from the greater good.

Get yourself informed...keep learning as life is a constant education.

Get yourself inventive...for when things happen, you have the courage and faith to keep your attitude positive.

Be a person of good attitude and see your life transform into something greater. And stay inspired my friends.

Person of Importance

"The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain." -Kahlil Gibran

We can feel pretty small in what some may call the "grand scheme" of life. We can tend to feel awfully insignificant with all that goes on around us. Take for instance the size of the earth. The planet Jupiter is eleven times larger than our living planet earth. And that giant object which sustains us, the Sun, is 109 times larger than the planet earth.

It can really start to make us feel small.

But each of us are important and significant within the realm of our life. To those in our life, our family, our friends and those we come in contact with every day. It sounds very much like the Frank Capra movie called "Its a Wonderful Life" but it is true; you do matter.

All that you do has impact either good or bad. You get to choose which it is going to be. My hope is that you will make the good choices. And know that you are a person of importance.

Stay inspired my friends.

Glorious Easter Sunday

Matthew 28:5-10

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” 8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Have a great and awe inspiring Easter Sunday!
