Fun Facet Friday – Shine Your Diamond Light

Posted on October 3, 2014 by MarleneMB

A friend and I were having a conversation about the origin of humankind. He said he believes that we are all stardust originating from the explosion of many stars. We all have the ability to shine bright like a star. It is an interesting concept. Yet, before we all can shine, we must first know that we are valuble. We have to see ourselves as having many worthy gifts to share with others. Then our carat value increases allowing us to Shine Bright Like a Diamond!

Beautiful Heart from http://www.psdtop.com/

My son shared this beautiful quote with me today. I think it is appropriate to share it with you on Treasures Thursday.

“The blessing is much more powerful in Hebrew, but it says: ‘Wherever you go, may people always recognize that you have a beautiful heart.’ ”

My son read it on the Humans of New York (HONY) Facebook page. I checked out the site and instantly liked it. Click HONY to view the site.

Happy Treasures Thursday to you. To find more Treasures of the Heart get your copy of Live a Diamond Life, Live a Life of Purpose: Diamond Cutters, today.

Wisdom Wednesday – Pay now, Play Later

Posted on October 1, 2014 by MarleneMB

“Pay now play later versus play now pay later.” I’m not sure from whom I learned this phrase when I was a teenager. But the impact of this statement has stuck with me throughout most of my private and professional life. I shared it with my son, nieces and nephews to teach them the importance of its meaning.

For example: if one takes care of getting a task done prior to engaging in entertaining activities, it frees the mind and body to really enjoy oneself. But if you play first, the task that hasn’t been accomplish could weigh on ones mind. Thus taking away from the full enjoyment of playing.

In the case of the kids, I advice them to get their homework done first. Then they can have all the playtime they wanted. This is the same for us as adults. We may put off paying for something until later. Over time, the cost for that thing may increase beyond our means later than if we had just paid it in the first place. By all means, if you have the time or the funds pay now. Odds are you would enjoy better playtime later.

Invincible Monday – Defeat the Enemy Within

Posted on September 29, 2014 by MarleneMB

“There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.” ~ Morihei Ueshiba

The enemy within is far stronger than the one without. We are the ones that sometimes get in our own way. Our self-doubts, fears, self-hatred or beliefs that we are not worthy, hold us back. This may be exhibited by self-destructive behaviors such as persistently being late to work, instigating conflict to destroy our relationships, or procrastinating on implementing the plans for our dreams.

Recognizing and acknowledging these behaviors are the first steps in defeating the enemy within. Practice the discipling of loving ourselves, setting goals and seeing them through one at a time. These are more steps we can take to quite the internal war inside of us. I like to set 21-day challenges for myself in eradicating a bad habits by replacing them with good ones. At the end of the 21 days, I feel more invincible.

Find the self-discipline habit that will help you defeat your enemy within. This is a great day to start. Live Your Diamond Life on Invincible Monday and find your Purpose!
