“That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Keep on keeping on my friends :) Have a GREAT day :)

No Bad Days

Sometime in December

A harsh wind cut into my eyes as I walked out of my apartment into the snowy barren wasteland of Rexburg Idaho. Icy snowflakes sunk like daggers against the exposed flesh on my face. I half walked half slipped into the icy parking lot on my way to class. For those of you who have little experience with snow, it’s rather hard to describe. It’s a little unnerving but rather exciting to see snow banks taller than you. Either way, it was one of those mornings where the snow was absolutely blinding and I was late for class.

I have to preface this story by saying that I LOVE car stickers. I think it is so fun to see how different people personalize their cars!!!! On this particular morning as I entered the maze of parked cars to get to class I spotted a very peculiar car sticker.

“No Bad Days”

It was quite possibly the most taunting sticker I had ever seen. Two palm trees came up out of the saying and seemed to be blowing in what would be a warm tropical breeze, mocking the frigid temperature of -30 degrees it was at the time.

It was at that moment that I decided how I wanted to live my life.

NO BAD DAYS :D

You see, I am most definitely under the impression that we make our days either good or bad. Sure there will always be circumstances effecting us those “icy snowflakes sinking like daggers into your exposed flesh”, but these are not the forces that define what sunshine is.  Though tornado's of trials may swirl around us, we can choose NO bad days!!!!

Can you imagine never having a bad day again?? It’s hard huh!!! And the only thing that is really stopping you is yourself!!! You, yes you, can have and do and be whatever you want. I know that’s what barney tells four year olds but he certainly has a point. With hard WORK you can do anything. You can be anything. YOU ARE GREAT!!! And you have the potential to be greater!!! Here is my favorite quote in the world that if I had the chance I would tell everyone that I meet because it is 100% true!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Nelson Mandela

YOU are capable of having NO MORE bad days!!!

Have a GREAT day folks!!!!
