Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?

Today, I went to a motivating seminar and walked away with so much great information. One simple little bite was based on a common saying regarding looking at a glass of water. You often here "when looking at a glass of water, would you say it is half empty or half full?" Just remember, however way you look at it, is what you are going to get. I never really looked at is that way before. It truly is in our hands, how we want to look at life and what we want to take away from each life experience. So lets go BIG!

Standing By Our Core

I have been reading this great inspirational book and found this great passage.  It speaks to keeping with the integrity of our core.  The word "courage" comes from a combination of cor, which in Latin means "heart" and courage. In French this means "the capacity to stand by our core". To value our needs and honor ourselves. To have the capability to put ourselves first, to steer away from the "wants and shoulds".  And change them to I am, I need, and I can.  When we put ourselves first it allows us to love others that much more.

Meditation:
I have to right to honor who I am, what I need, and what I can do.
I have the heart to love and support myself.
