Complacent?

Complacent ??
By: Debra Sue Higginbotham (ME)

Never allow me luke-warm,

or just ‘blah’ in my view …

may I be fiercely on fire,

or a rebel without a clue!

Never allow the ho hum,

to creep into the zeal …

If I’m going to do it,

let me do it for real.

Never allow the mundane,

to replace my strong will…

nor shall I watch life,

from a safe window sill.

Complacency can be toxic,

as is ‘content’ to never win.

We either do it – or we don’t,

but to win, we must begin!

Life Lesson Number Whatever

Posted on October 26, 2017 by The Healthy Habit Lady

Life Lesson Number (insert random number here) ….

I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you.

This is what is called following your bliss.

When you follow your bliss… doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else. Just follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls that were seen.

Sometimes, we must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Life doesn’t come with meaning. YOU bring the meaning to it….and those whom you love. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match YOUR nature with God’s Nature!

What are you passionate about? Figure it out and follow it relentlessly!

Oh To Be An Eagle

Posted on September 6, 2017 by The Healthy Habit Lady

My family at Sea World (where my daughter works) … we enjoyed meeting an Eagle.

Allow me some leeway in this imagery and metaphor. In life there are two groups of people. Some are simply surviving. Others, well they truly thrive. Now these two groups can be compared to crows and eagles. A crow hangs around with the majority of everyone else (the 99%). Crows sit together on the power lines waiting for some random animal to get killed on the road, so that they can eat. Sometimes it’s a skunk, cat, dog or a deer — but the crow does not get to decide what it will have for dinner. Mr. Crow has to eat whatever comes along.

Then there are the eagles (the 1%). Eagles are solitary. They stand alone. They are different. They are NOT like everyone else. They are unique and special. When they get hungry, they decide what they would like to eat and they search long and hard until they find exactly what they want. It’s not easy, but they are free to choose and they don’t quit or give up until they have succeeded.

An eagle will travel 50-100 miles to get exactly what he wants, whereas the crow will travel 1-2 miles to take what they can get. The crow eats whatever life gives him. The eagle eats whatever he wants and decides what life will bring him. Crows wait for opportunities to fall into their lap. Eagles create opportunities because they go looking for what they want and don’t stop until it has been acquired.

In this life, we get to decide – every ding dang day – if we are going to be a crow or an eagle. It is not by what we say, but rather what we DO, that determines our identity. You are what you do; not what you say.

Carry on.

Practice Makes What?

Posted on August 23, 2017 by The Healthy Habit Lady

Are you practicing your growth or are you practicing what you have already decided are your limits?

What does practice make? Does it make perfect? Does it make growth? You tell me! You have a thousand habits that you practice every single day … and whether or not they are intentional, they are there. Might as well make them count, right?

Are limits and obstacles the same thing? Think about that. Only you know the answer for yourself.

Do you focus on what you CAN do or do you focus on what you CAN’T do? Or maybe, you should focus on what you WANT to do.

Obviously I am not suggesting you injure yourself. Be smart. Use precautions when necessary. Just do not blindly accept that you cannot do something simply because someone told you that you can’t or you think that you can’t.

I am about to get seriously out of my comfort zone. I signed up for something called Camp Gladiator today. They had a special deal for $9 for the month of September. I’ve had my eye on them a while; and several friends have raved about the trainers. So I pulled the trigger. If I don’t like it – no biggie. But what if I love it? I’ll never know unless I go. SO… signing up and showing up are two different things, right? Plans are awesome. Action is measurable. Results are priceless.

What holds you back? What are your limits? What are your obstacles? Where is the end of your comfort zone? Go there, then blow past that. I believe in you.
