What are Those Birds Singing For?

What reason do they have to sing? Why are they singing? Because they are cheerful. They are happy to be alive. The sun is shining and the weather is nice so they sing in celebration of life. They are in a good mood; they’re enjoying life.

They don’t care if its only 4:00 in the morning. To them, its the beginning of another day. They don’t care that your alarm isn’t set to go off until 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. They aren’t going to wait for sleepy humans. They sing as soon as they wake up and the day starts.

What do birds do on rainy days when it isn’t nice outside? They wait for the sun to come out so they can sing again.

Have a good day,

Eric

I may not, But I am…

This is an inspiring statement I wrote and then realized how it can be applied to almost anything. It is a view on life, an attitude. It’s about moving in the right direction:

  • I may not know what I’m going, but I am figuring it out.
  • I may not be the best, but I am getting better.
  • I may not be the smartest, but I am getting smarter.
  • I may not know the most, but I am learning more.

Keep on learning and keep on trying. Life is about taking things one step at a time and not giving up.

The important thing is to learn, develop, and mature. As long as you are headed in the right direction, you can’t go wrong. Just think where you’d be several years from now if you learned one new thing each day or got just a little bit better at something each day.

Add your own statements in the comments section below and I’ll add it to the post.

I am Inspired by You.

I am inspired when I hear of a person triumphing over a challenge that is thought to be impossible. I don’t mean climbing mountains, I mean real people living regular lives that overcome extraordinary challenges they face. It is encouraging to know what people are capable of doing and overcoming.

Some of the challenges people have to deal with are not fair. They did not deserve it. But that happens. That’s life. It is not fair when a curveball forever changes a person’s life, but that is the way it is. All the person can do is decide where they go from there and how they live their life. Some people live the rest of their lives bitter and miserable, resenting their situation in life, while others try to make the best of what they have and go on to inspire others like you and me. Each time a person overcomes such a challenge, they open up the possibilities of human ability to others.

People are capable of dealing with the most tremendous challenges and overcoming them, only to face (and overcome) even greater challenges. Human spirit wins. Determination and perseverance and a lot of stubbornness can go a long ways. People fight for life and what they believe in and don’t give up in this struggle of life.

Don’t be Shy… Introduce Yourself

I’d love to meet you and hear your thoughts and comments about my blog. I’d like to hear about your blog, or other blogs that you’ve read that are good.

Don’t be shy; Share you experiences; tell me something that I don’t know. Let me know what’s on your mind. Let me know what’s bothering you or what you are having trouble with. Tell me what’s going really well for you right now and you are proud and happy about.

I love hearing other people’s stories, what they are doing, what they are struggling with, and what they have triumphed over. It is inspiring to learn the breadth and width of human experience and spirit.

Have a great day and see you soon. 🙂

Eric
