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.

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.”

Flurry of Thoughts

With snow on the way and the inevitable traffic snarls I was reminded of a journal entry I wrote last year. Today I would like to share it with you.

Journal Entry January 07 / 09

What a beautiful blustery snow day!! Nature has provided us with some awesome weather patterns full of beauty and power. They are truly a wonder to behold and be thankful for. Ah you say, but they can cause destruction and stress……or is it opportunity?

This morning there are all kinds of commuters stuck in traffic with the snow storm and an ongoing bus strike not helping the situation. Seems like a pretty stressful dismal situation and most will choose to see it this way. They will get tense and their blood pressure will rise while they curse and swear at every driver around them, the miserable weather and wonder what they ever did to deserve this. The whole day is ruined as they envision another miserable commute on the way home. This is the outlook of most that are functioning on the competitive plane.

As I have said though, appearances of things are seldom the truth. In truth you have a choice here. You are responsible for the kind of day you decide to have regardless of circumstance. How might you spend your time constructively instead of whining about the weather and traffic which is beyond your control anyway? Does whining and fretting improve your present environment? Does it move you toward your desired stress reduced lifestyle? Can you see an opportunity in the above situation? Most that are guided by their subconscious and living on the creative plane will take this opportunity to put on some relaxing music, a motivational or personal development CD. Perhaps they may use the time to rethink the new modification they were considering for their new invention which is due to hit the market in a few months time. Your time and situation is what you make of it.

There is always choice.

We can waste it and do great harm to ourselves or relax and take advantage of the extra time provided to us. Realize every situation has a positive constructive reason for placing us in it. It is our responsibility to discover that reason.

  1. I think Premier Blueprints should produce a collection of motivational and personal development CDs for these very occasions. A brilliant idea ;)
