The Power of You

"The foolish reject what they see, not what they think; the wise reject what they think, 

not what they see." ~Huang Po

Make the change in season a time to investigate and write about the Power of you. Here are ideas to jump start a write renewal:

1.  Write about what you've learned at this stage of your life. See how far you can go with this for fifteen minutes.

2.  When you catch yourself thinking about what's broken, the economy, ill health and adversity, consider what you want to happen and how you can make it happen on your scale. Keep writing.

3.  Believe in living in the moment. Don't dwell on negativity. Write beyond it.

4.  Write about what you truly need to be content. Delve into why you think,“I'll be happy when I have this or that,” or “when I live over there,” or “when this happens.” 

5.  Write your successes. Examine mistakes and if you have failed to meet objectives. You have choices. Examine your priorities. 

Additional Points to Ponder:

6.   Choose wisely what you read, listen to and the people with whom you associate. Avoid letting negative individuals populate your world.  You cannot change them.  Move on.

7.   Learn to listen with both ears. Evaluate before disrespecting another's opinion.

8.   Examine how you take responsibility for yourself with healthy choices of diet, exercise and mind push ups. Nurture a spiritual force that supports your efforts.

9.   Take pride in the natural world and explore it daily with all your senses. 

10.  Work on the power of You.
