Trying vs Doing and Putting Forth a Wholehearted Effort

Greetings Wholehearted Ones,

We have all been there, at sometime 
or another, 
or if life last and time past,
 will experience when asked, if something was done or will be done the response could possibly be
" I will try "or" let me see what I can do."
 While trying is typically positive, it has been my experience, it is only 
the mere first step ,toward really putting forth one's best effort.

There is a distinct difference between trying to half heartedly do something and being totally committed from beginning to end in giving it our best shot.  
Whether its our efforts in a relationship, 
job, project, or new venture
 trying versus truly committing ourselves is a choice we are tasked with making.
 Only we can examine the intent of our own heart when we tell someone we will try to make it to an event versus wholeheartedly committing to putting
 forth every effort to be there,
 however in times like these where people's word, 
concerted efforts and commitment appears to be no longer a sure fire value within our mainstream society, 
it behooves us to examine ourselves and
 ask the tough questions. 
 
Are we committed to investing in ourselves, 
relationships, dreams and what matters the most to us? 
When we say to ourselves, or the people we love that we will put forth every effort to do or be present to whatever is needed in that given situation and relationship are we truly all in?
The next time you are asked to do something, or be somewhere, or commit before you respond think about the type of effort you want to invest in the request...will you try or wholeheartedly put forth every effort?

May the contemplation of the effort you place into what matters the most to you be the order of the days of ahead as we move into the month of March in this 2019. 

We owe it to ourselves, life,  and the ones we are committed to wholeheartedly put forth our best effort and not only try but to consistently give from a whole heart.  
 
To do anything less is to truly short change ourselves and the people who we love and close the door to our greatest potential. 
Happy Wholeheartedly Trying and Living a Life of Action and Purpose,

Invisible Miracles

M iraculous O nes , W ho s aid m iracles h ad to o nly b e v isible ? Greetings Miraculous Ones, All miracles are not visible to the eye.  I would even infer that our most life affirming and altering miracles often exist in the invisible. We encounter miracles in the moments where we feel an unexplainable calm and renewing peace that comes over us for no external apparent reason.  Miracles, hover over us in the times where in our hearts there is a resounding message that reassures us despite the external chaos and mayhem in our external world  " all is well " and everything is going to "be alright". We experience the miracle of laughter at moments in our life where what is occurring is far from being funny or  joy rendering. We experience miracles at unsuspecting moments, where we have reach the bottom of our barrel of hope and a friend or a stranger extends an encouraging word or act of kindness when we needed it the most. Our most potent m...

The Power of the Pause

Image
  " Patience is an inner pause, a brief stillness, a moment we give ourselves to breathe through our initial reaction so we can move to the place where a calm, thoughtful response is born. Patience is a gift of time we give ourselves so we can give the gift of peace to others.” ―L.R. Knost. Happy New Year, New Decade, & New You... Wisdom Seekers, Faithful Blog Readers, In 2020, I invite you to welcome moments  of pause in your life.  Too often we can miss the moments to breathe, and process what is happening in our lives and the experiences that we are moving through. When we seized the opportunities to stop, and collect our thoughts and consider our words and how we should carefully respond to either people, or in situations that require wisdom driven actions, we reap the benefits, as our actions add and not subtract from the value of our life. Pausing is a great way to slow down and savor the unforgettable details of our...
