New beginnings.

Yesterday was my last day at a place that has been wonderful to me for the last 4 years.  I have loved the place, and the people there, and have spent most of my career thus far there.  It's always a funny feeling leaving people and places when you still love so many things about them, but the time has come to move on.  I truly think that most of the discord in my own life, has happened because I waited to make certain changes for a long time past when I should have.  There are so many ideas and possibilities in my future, and changes in environment always seem to bring wonderful things in my life.  Here's to 4 wonderful years, and now........a right and brilliant fresh start!

Recognizing the moment where you know something...

Intuition is huge.  If something makes you stop, your stomach suddenly ties up in knots, and you just suddenly feel off......well, then you just may want to listen.  You already know you took a wrong turn, and the sooner you turn around so that you can get back on track, the better.  I think that many times in my life, when I do feel that I have made a mistake, I say......hmmmmm, I never saw that coming, but the truth is, I saw it coming every time, and I chose to close my eyes instead.

Have a beautiful day, I'm off to fly:)

On being consistent....

Years ago (and I mean decades ago, when I was in my teens:) I took private tennis lessons in my hometown, and had a sweet, energetic and positive tennis teacher named Tammy.  Tammy taught me one of the most valuable lessons that I have EVER learned in my life, and it had nothing to do with tennis.

One morning, at the start of my 7am lesson, I looked across the court at Tammy, and just marveled at how she was cheerfully and energetically striding across the court, so early in the morning.  No complaints, no saying: "I'm not a morning person" but instead just so.....consistent and positive.  At 17 years of age, I knew enough to know that this was not the norm, and most people had much more varying moods than she......so I asked her, how are you always in such a good mood?

Her answer surprised me.....she said she wasn't always, but that she worked hard to maintain a positive exterior, and by being positive on the outside, she was actually able to shift some of the feelings on the inside.  She said it was important for her to be the same, consistent person for her work and daily life, in order to get the most done.  I have always remembered this, and it was such a valuable lesson.  Of course I'm free to feel what I feel, but there is a time and a place for everything....and when you are working to help someone else with something, it's important to make that time theirs, instead of focusing on you.  :)  Of course some days it's more difficult than others, but it's amazing how much other people will appreciate your consistently good attitude in life.
