WE - a pre-work week reflection.


We 

We are not defined by what job we have.    
We are defined by making the jobs we have make the world just a fraction better. 

We are not defined by what people say about us.    
We are defined by what we say about other people. 

We are not defined by our past mistakes.      
We are defined by forgiving ourselves. 

We are not defined by the place in the world we live in.     
We are defined by how we treat the slice of the world we are given care of. 

We are not defined by the amount of money in our pocket.      
We are defined by the amount of humility that you carry in our hearts. 

We are not defined by the grades we receive.       
We are defined by the lessons we learn. 

We are not defined by the obstacles we face.      
We are defined by the way we persevere as we claw, scratch, and struggle over the wall.   

We are not defined by the stamps in our passport.      
We are defined by the people we open ourselves up to on our travels. 

We are not defined by our successes.      
We are defined by giving thanks for the good things in our life. 

We are not defined by our mapped out life plan     
We are defined by our ability to change our plan when "stuff" happens. 

We are not defined by our fears.      
We are defined by not letting fear captain our ship. 

We are not defined by the number of friends we have.       
We are defined by the number of people other than ourselves that we pray for. 

We are not defined by what we drive.      
We are defined by what drives us. 

We are not defined by our tan.        
We are defined by how we value the very life we have. 



                                           We are defined by the person we choose to be.  










I must really hate Mondays.  I am dreading tomorrow.

so instead of complaining about Mondays all day tomorrow, here is my list of things I can do instead:  



Pray for someone else.
Pardon everyone who wrongs me.
Be grateful for anything good that happens.
Admit not knowing everything.
Smile.
Drink a honey latte.
Accept.

roedel out.
