Good Morning 2.10.2008

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and those who keep visual journals have found that statement to be very true. If you have tried a written journal and become frustrated for lack of the "right word," or if you want to take your journaling to another level a visual journal may be the answer.

Starts February 18

With one of my New Year's Resolutions being a goal of adding more "creative time" to my life, I realized that I needed a system to make finding and using items more suitable for my creative-personality.

Step-by-step, I began to work through my creative space, using new approaches and knowledge from my other organizational systems that had worked long-term. I adapted these to specifically match people when in the "creative zone," (who often do not want to stop and put the item back after use, or even put the cap on a glue stick)! In the end, I derived a "creative organizational system," that I will share with you over 5 weeks while and helping you to customize your own personal creative space.

"Fill each day with PURPOSE - not problems." Shared by Good Morning reader, Cathy Rudder

Good morning! Today's quote accompanied an email from Cathy Rudder of Dallas Texas. She wrote:

I coined this phrase when I first started selling real estate, and my income was 100% commission. I used this motto to overcome my fears. These words were inspired by a quote from Ben Sweetland referring to how trapeze acrobats keep their "act together" and make the triples happen - all in sync: His quote was, "Put your heart over the bar and the rest will follow."

That was 25 years ago. For the past 10 years, I've owned my own firm. Cathy Rudder Real Estate www.cathyrudder.com

This quote is truly an inspiring vision for greeting each day. When we "get out of our own way" and focus on our purpose, our problems are easier to conquer. But many of us take an opposite approach to our days, we focus on the problems at hand and believe we will "get to our purpose," once the problems are solved. We don't realize that we have it all backward. We must focus on the purpose at hand, for our purpose is always bigger than our problems.

Your Turn:
When we stay centered on our purpose and our vision, problems shrink instead of grow. When we put our problems before our vision, they become roadblocks. How have you been living your days? Is your primary focus problems or purpose? Try filling your day with purpose, and watch the dramatic shift it will create in your life.

Your Affirmation:
I fill my days with purpose--not problems.
