What can you do?

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.  ~John Wooden

My wonderful husband, like most husbands, struggles on what to do to show me he loves me. He wants to take me on a wonderful vacation and buy me jewels, days at the spa, flowers and candy etc but with 2 kids and a mortgage those things often take a back seat to the realities of life (sometimes so does a shower but that's a different posting all together!). He gets flustered (poor guy, I love you!) but what I always tell him, don't worry about what you can't do right now, focus on what you can do. Sometimes he gets it, sometimes he doesn't. Meaning sometimes he makes a spa appointment forgetting we haven't gone grocery shopping and sometimes he just rubs my hands and feet (hint: that is ALWAYS a good idea).

When you think about it, we often focus on what we can't do which does nothing positive in our life. Instead if we focus on the positive, on what we CAN do, we can accomplish so much more because our energy is focused on something useful and purposeful. Plus, we see success which in turn breeds ore success. This takes our conversations within our minds into a positive direction and that is good for the soul. 

What can you do today? For some it may be climbing that huge mountain, but for most, it may just be walking around the block. What about focusing on an action plan then taking even just one small step in that plan? Followed by another one tomorrow.   


What can YOU do today? Where can you focus your mind and heart on to find success instead of what you can't do (right now!)? Keep focused on that and you may be surprised that the desires you had will suddenly come into view.
