Inspiration, Strength, Triumph
Greetings Fellow Listeners!
Today I find my mind wandering to what inspires us as individuals? Who determines how strong of an individual we will be or are? And what does personal triumph mean?
All of these questions I suppose are what some call the meaning of life? If you can figure these three things out, then you have answered the meaning to your life. I am not sure I totally agree with that, however I do know that there is no other feeling associated with the three of these words.
Such as, when you are who you want to be (and I am talking the real deal here, when you actually love yourself and can look in the mirror and say I moved my own mountain today!) and you are living to your fullest potential, someone else sees that and they become inspired by your story. They will begin to love themselves and move their own mountains. That is truly a gratifying moment. I can't think of another feeling (and I could be wrong) that is associated with inspiring someone else to be all they can be!
Secondly, who determines how strong of a person we are or will be? My answer to this, is only we can decide that for ourselves. As individuals we can only control how WE feel, ourselves. We can't control what other people think about how we feel, or act about how we feel, we can only control ourselves. Once we have all realized this, we will become that stronger person. Life is seriously hard and everyone doesn't play the game fairly, but those of us who try, will be rewarded how our inner physic thinks we should be rewarded! You are what you think! To be considered a strong person, one who people can look up to and follow is also its own unique feeling.
And lastly, triumph. I have read a lot recently about how does one determine themselves successful? In my opinion, it's a mental thing for each individual. Each individual needs to take stock in themselves. Stop, look, listen to your life and realize that you may already be successful? And triumphant! Also, being triumphant isn't a one time deal, it will happen a million times through everyone's life. It is something that can happen over small stuff or big stuff and is solely in the eye of the beholder. Being triumphant in your own mind, is a feeling like not other, too!So in your daily life, be inspiring to others, be strong to yourself, and look in the mirror each and every day and say I am triumphant! Congratulate yourself!
Celebrating,
Misty

Worry
Not sure who wrote this little line and I am not a habitual worrier, but I think it is important to take time to think about moving forward. Worrying is probably (no statistics researched!) one of the highest ranking things that people can do to harm themselves. When you become consumed by worry, your world will consume you. Understanding that life takes humor and patience to persevere is something to be learned. Take your time and be yourself.
Words of advice for a generation of worriers.

How I became a Charasmatic Communicator
What do you consider to be a "charismatic communicator?" I would bet most people would have a different perspective or opinion of this. When I picture charismatic communicator, John F. Kennedy (for those of you too young to remember, he was president of our United States and was assassinated) comes to mind. JFK had that warmth and humor combo which was melt in your mouth sort of charisma! He could pull in a crowd and keep them there for as long as it took to get his message across. He understood that it takes patience and great empathy to be able to understand and relate to people. That is powerful!
How about Martin Luther King? He was also a very powerful speaker. Mr. King was able to completely consume your conscious and make you stand straight up without knowing you were doing so. He was honest, open, and direct, which in my humble opinion, made him a great hero.
I could go on and on about different speakers I find to be very charismatic, but what would convince you that I am one? Your still reading, aren't you?
Do you want to know how I have been blessed with the gift of gab? I do believe partly, that gene heritage had something to do with it, however I also believe that was what was important to my parent's. They were charismatic communicators, they could draw you in with a story and keep you there until that very last second when you weren't sure if the story was true or not, but you weren't about to leave and not hear the ending (even though you had previously heard that story a million times before...). So after all that.. it was taught to me, it was the one thing I had that belonged to me, that I could control and I get to choose what comes out of this big fat mouth. That's what makes it a powerful tool, and sometimes a lethal weapon.
The next time you hear a mother say you talk to much or perhaps be quiet you talk to much... Think about this article... What would JFK say to his kids? Would Martin say to me, Misty use your intuition to build a company that will lead the industry through the worst of recession and into a green meadow on the other side? Okay, just making that one up here, but you get my point right? Be yourself, don't be afraid to speak up and by all means depend on that strength!
Happily Gabbing,
Misty
