The 614 Life

Enjoy the Easter weekend! Always remember that kids are like sponges and they will absorb everything in their surroundings. Of course this means they have to take the good with the bad as they navigate through school and life. It’s up to us to provide them with the desire to reach for their own goals and ambitions. ✌🏼❤️ Fly so high

Stay warm peeps! Be sure to check on elderly neighbors or those in need. ❤️✌🏼

Happiness is not a reward- it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment-it’s a result- Ingersoll

True power is restraint ✌🏼❤️

“You have been formed of three parts- body,breath and mind. Of these, the first two are yours insofar as they are only in your care. The third alone is truly yours”.

-Marcus Aerelius , Meditations 12.3

The mind is all yours! Our mind is ours- free and clear. You wouldn’t spend a ton of cash fixing up a house that you are renting, would you? Don’t give negativity the free upgrades. Have a great weekend and thanks for being you. ✌🏼❤️

I recently came across some thinking from someone much smarter than myself. He stated these three lies that we often tell ourselves.

I am what I have
I am what I do
I am what other people say about me.

Your true identity comes from within. It comes from a deep connection to yourself. Not from anything that is outside of you.
There are so many beautiful souls out there who appear to have little, yet live the richest lives full of abundance because they know who they are on the inside.
Next time you meet someone new, instead of asking ‘What do you do?’ Try asking ‘Who are you?’ ❤️✌🏼

It’s never been a race. Take your time.

Hey Fb peeps ✌️ ❤️
I’ve pushed through so much fear in my life. So many opportunities given to me that I took but would have been very easy to pass up. Many of them were challenges I put upon myself and some were just the smallest of feats at the time depending on my mental status.
I have a handful of life challenges that were thrust upon me. Didn’t ask for those at all but we get through them by falling on the smallest thread of positivity and leaning on people who truly love us. We tell ourselves “I can’t do this”, “I won’t make it”, “I won’t survive this”.
Try not to categorize your challenges, just drop them into your list of successes.
You can do it ❤️

“It always seems
impossible, until
it's done."

Happy Wednesday people! As most of the Midwest and surrounding states are covered with snow or bitter cold temperatures, I hope that you have warmth in your life ✌🏼❤️ Just a few more days until Groundhogs day. I know that there are plenty of other ways to tell us when Spring will arrive but I for one enjoy the “Old timey” feel of some traditions. As a kid, I often thought it odd that a bunch of folks would get up that early in the morning to watch an animal cast or “see it’s shadow”. Their faces and cheeks were rosey and often they had full grey beards. Wearing top hats and coat tails; many in the crowd were seemingly enjoying the moment. It didn’t occur to me that they may have been drunk and still partying it up from the night before 😆. Who remembers?

Speak kindly to yourself.
