Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

How's Your Day Going?

Have you ever wakened in a bad mood, agitated, irritable, or feeling anxious for some unknown reason?

It is important we don’t take ownership of these feelings allowing them to dictate the kind of day we are going to have. Be aware that the emotions we feel may not be our own. We need to question these emotions of unknown origin, find out where they may have come from and discard them as quickly as possible by selecting positive uplifting thoughts. Talk to these emotions, thank them for passing by and you appreciate them but they serve you no purpose so it is time to leave…..and they will.

Until we realize nothing, (no thing), and no one can ruin our day but our self we will continue to be at the mercy of all manner of outside forces tossing us to and fro at their every whim and fancy.

Know we have the power within us to determine the kind of day we are going to have each and every day no matter our circumstance and environment. We need to realize we have the ability to set the tone for the day the night before as we are falling asleep. If we fall asleep angry, frustrated, telling ourselves we are drained, or even just telling our self we are tired, guess what? There is a good chance this is how we will awaken setting the tone for the day. I am not saying to deny the fact we feel tired. No, what I am saying is be thankful for the tired feeling for it means we have done all we could do that day but tell your self as you fall asleep; “Yes I am tired now but I am going to have an amazing restful sleep and awaken totally refreshed and ready for an awesome productive day”. This may take a little practice but it is like magic. Look yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning and tell your self you are beautiful and this day is going to be awesome because you have the power to choose your thoughts feelings and actions.
There is much to be discussed on this topic but this is sufficient for now. I shall come back to it at a future time.

  1. So true, Marshall. There is much value in this rather simple lesson. We often find ourselves encouraging our older son to "change your attitude; change your mood"... We all tend to forget we can do this easily with a thought. "I am happy"… and a smile ;)

    Thank you!
