Awesome Starts Now 

By Glennel Hardy

If you ever approached anyone and asked “How is your day going?” and their reply was “awesome”, more than likely it was a series of events that led up to that point.  Awesome starts the moment we wake up, and get out of bed and what we open our mind to, as the day progresses. Awesome can be another window of opportunity waiting to be seized that we never knew existed.

What is awesome to you, or how big does awesome have to be in order for you take notice of it?  Awesome surrounds us but can easily be missed, as we journey through life. Awesome starts now, you’re surrounded by awesome, and therefore life of what it has to offer us is awesome, if we just seize the moment.

Awesome starts right now.

Optimism Thought of the Week

The Power of Silence

In a society where everyone has something to say I sometimes wonder, who is left to listen? It’s true that we all have the ability to bring something to the table, and we all have voices in which to share our thoughts and ideas, but when we all do it at once, it becomes chaotic.

The power of silence comes in to allow us to reflect, and to become wiser and to take some good out of chaos. There are some that may fear chaos, while there are some that remain quiet while searching for the greatness in it.

Every action does not require a reaction from us, it does however asks that we can take something away from it.  I have found that I am the most creative, and in-tuned to myself when there is silence.

Consider the ocean and its stillness, walk along the beach during a sunrise and there you will find the power of silence.
