Love Always - Coach J
When creating a meal their is a recipe you should follow if you want a desired outcome. Part of that is using the proper ingredients. Substituting salt for sugar will give you an extremely different outcome. What is the meal you are preparing? Is it a strong family, a healthy financial future, a closer relationship with your friends? The ingredients/ things you put into your time will alter the outcome. Do you need to add a little more of an unconditional listening ear? Maybe a steady dose of predetermined money set aside for future saving? Proactively planning time for friend? The slightest ingredient will shape the final outcome. Take a look at the outcome you desire and see if you are adding the correct ingredients and measurements of each to prepare for the cooking time. If the ingredients are not correct they will never withstand the heat of life that it takes to cook your meal. Take a close look at what your plan is, take inventory of the ingredients, add the appropriate measurements, be patient during the cook time and earn the meal that you are cooking. No fast food brings any real nutritional value.

When is the last time you and your loved one worked on a puzzle together? Maybe your Husband, Wife, Child, Grandchild, or Parent took the time to work through a jigsaw puzzle with you and you never forgot that. Who was the one that wanted to do all the outside pieces first? Who simply looked to match colors? Who set up the picture on the box and worked from clues on each piece to start laying out the general area that piece might end up in? There are so many methods to attack a puzzle and so many different learning and problem solving styles that it is amazing to watch your teammates thoughts and organization when working through placing the pieces where they belong. To create a perfect picture we need to work together, honor the differencing styles and most of all enjoy the ride to completion. The feeling of accomplishment when the last piece is placed is exhilarating and the journey is what makes it all worth it. No matter the pieces your life is in there is a clear picture of the intent and purpose. Work with your loved ones to put it together. Most importantly enjoy your time together. Love Always - Coach J We all have acquaintances, associates, buddies, pals, and friends. How many of you have a brother (or sister) friend? One that you have known for sometime and have been through trials with? Even more so that know your shortcomings and still chose to Love and invest in you. Who are these angels in your life? Where did they come from? What have you done to receive such a blessing? Appreciate them by being there for them, and send them a quick "I love you" message today. Don't hold back the feeling you have for another day - express your gratitude today with no expectation of return. Be free and open to love fully and completely everyday through expression, appreciation and no attachment to outcome. Let me know in the comment section what a brother or sister friend looks like to you. Love Always - Coach J Take a moment and think about how it feels when someone genuinely takes an interest in a project you are working on, your health or your family. It is a feeling of warmth mixed with excitement. We love to share information about things we are passionate about. When we share a goal we are chasing we feel stronger and more at peace with that goal when we can say it out loud and have another person really get behind us on it. Our language calls this taking interest in someone. Interest means we are curious or want to learn more about a topic or person. Anytime we project this type of energy we are feeding the other person. It also means a regular payout on an investment or loan. You have invested in this person and they will keep you updated regularly to keep the energy level maintained - this is interest. It is a self filling energy source. With this in mind when is the last time you really took interest in something someone you love is doing? Find that thing that excites them and ask them to tell you all about it and where they are going with it. Offer to be a resource or reference even if it is no more than just a work of encouragement from time to time. As you are taking interest in others, take note of those that take interest in you. Show them gratitude and return interest to there investment in you. Love Always - Coach J When you walk away from something consistent do not feel sorry for yourself when it does not come looking for you. Take this for example, if you have a job that pays well and is a stable place to work and you leave for another employer that is unstable you cannot expect your former employer to keep looking after you and check in on you. For all they know you are quite content where you are. You have to seek out the consistent positive forces in your life an align with them. When you stray you will see less of the benefit of that consistency. What has changed is you. Not the source. Do not feel sorry for yourself when others are not actively seeking you to check on you. If they are good people and consistent in their execution and beliefs than you can choose to align with them. It is your choice what you allow time for in your life and what you do not. The more you are consistent the more you will find strength in your every move. Love Always - Coach J Is there anything more adorable than watching an infant or toddler hug a soft stuffed animal. I mean those stuffed animals that have just the right filling and the irresistibly welcoming exterior. The ones that are so plush you sneak a hug in here and there because they are so comforting. To watch a child hug that toy and the comfort that consumes their entire being from body to soul fills me with joy simply watching their innocence and security be reinforced through that moment of pure bliss. Go out today and find a stuffed animal and close your eyes, go back to your childhood and hold on for dear life - forget where you are and who you think you are and just enjoy that moment of bliss and freedom. Tell me how it felt in the comment section below. Love Always - Coach J I have a few friends that are ill or recovering from an illness at this time. I like to think of them returning to their complete and optimal health immediately when I think of them. One recovering from a digestive issue, another battling lupus, one out of the hospital from extreme exhaustion. I recall them in full form, as complete and restored. I wish not for the expelling of an illness but the return to complete health. For them to be whole, healthy and complete. Today in place of focusing on your loved ones illnesses just meditate and pray with the visualization of them completely whole, renewed and recovered. In optimal health. Love Always - Coach J I will care for you now so that you may grow. I will wash you now so you know cleanliness. I will provide for you now so you need not work. I will teach you now so you can understand the lesson. I do these things as a reference point for you to draw from as you grow. And once you are grown you will know the righteous ways to carry yourself and even grow and develop other individuals. Even at that time if you'd like to revisit lessons with me, I'd be honored. Now, Later, and Forever. Love Always - Coach J Every great idea and movement begins with a few supportive minds collaborating and cooperating. I recently heard a man speak about creating your audience or platform and he mentioned a carpenter from 2500 years ago that started something huge. Many of us have heard of this movement called Christianity. The speaker said that sometimes when we are looking to create an audience for the message we want to share and we are not satisfied with the number of people that subscribe to our email list or visit our blog. Don't be concerned with the number of people that join your podcast, just love each of those that do. develop and refine your message and your audience will share your message and it will grow. His point was Jesus confided in 12 men and grew his message to the world because he was not concerned with the number of followers, he simply loved his audience. Love your audience and find your 12. With that in mind I want to thank each an every one of you that visits my page and shares it with others. Feel free to add a comment or email me for any topic you'd like to see covered or presented to the group. I am not Jesus by any means. I do appreciate and Love each and everyone of you that share a little of each day with me on this blog. Drop me a line - I'd love to hear from you. Love Always - Coach J |
