12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women

Well my friends,

I've spend some time delving into the books, mainly textbooks.  I've mange to sneak some time for leisurely reading and one of the books I've had on my list for quite sometime is, the 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women by Gail McMeekin.

Wonderful and Empowering are just few of the words that describe this book.  I want to share some of my favorite quotes and "secrets" of the book.

Taking Courageous Risk

I heart this topic, because it's something I personally struggle with.  Either I under or overestimate myself, the issue at stake or both.  Many of us to this, so to learn about others who have manage to do it well is inspiring.
One of the sayings is "Calculate risk propel us forward in a positive manner".  Yes!!

Ever accomplish something that initially seem unsurmountable?  That's the feeling you get when you take a healthy risk that pays off.  Of course not all risk pay off, but if it taken in a calculate manner, you're left with a better feeling than you would have felt if it was simply a rash risk.

So ladies, I leave you with this:  Try new things, because many times you only have one chance.  Make sure you take risks in life, courageous risk that is.

More to come,

Marie

Jack Johnson's Upside Down

Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be
Is this how it's supposed to be

Habits Change

I've recently notice that I'm stepping back more in life and allowing God to lead me.

Two months ago, if someone were to say something about an aspect of my life and I felt it was inappropriate, I would quickly jump down their throat. However, I've seem to be changing that habit. Maybe it's has been changing before and I probably did not notice.

I advice you to take the time to notice recent change in you character. Especially positive change.
