NEVER GIVE UP on the Bucket List!!!

Something pulled me to this saying and the picture our son Wyatt took while in Rio.  This seemed like the perfect match.

Life is short no matter how long you live.  There will always be more wants and needs, more hopes and dreams that are added to the Bucket List.  Completing some and never giving up is part of how we keep our sanity.  This is how we keep looking forward to the future, how we can help ourselves stay more positive and how we live a fuller and happier life no matter what our age!!

NO matter what your struggles….NO matter what your goals, hopes or dreams….NO matter what your age….NO matter how long it takes….NEVER GIVE UP!!!  Listen and follow your heart and intuition.  It may not always be right but at least you can say you tried and have No Regrets!!  I have faith in all of you, in all of us!!!  Big Hugs & Luvs 2 U All ..

Just Gotta…..

Sometimes, you just Gotta:

Gotta go with the flow…
Gotta add humor when we can…
Gotta laugh as often as possible…
Gotta look for the positives even in the darkest of days…
Gotta smile and share the beauty of them more…
Gotta learn we cannot control everything…
Gotta love the life we have and learn to make the most of every single day…
Gotta never give up on wanting more, on following our hopes & dreams…
Gotta think and move outside the box to get to somewhere else…
Gotta forgive and move forward, more for yourself than anyone else…
Gotta open your heart no matter how many times it gets hurt…
Gotta be true to yourself, this is your life to live…
Gotta reach for the positives in this negative world…
Gotta do what ya gotta do…….

Now go out and take on the day, the weeks and the months doing what YOU feel is best for you!  Try not to let the drama and negatives get you down.  Instead, look for the hidden blessing, the things in life you can be grateful for and never ever stop looking ahead to the future, to YOUR future and following your dreams!!  Hugs & Luvs 2 U All ..

Your craziness in this world =’s YOU being a little more sane…..

YO!!! WASSUP?!?! Obviously my weirdness is coming out and my quirkiness is gonna shine today!! What about you?!?!

Why be something you’re really not?!?!

Why NOT be true to yourself?!?!

Why be afraid of what others may think?!?!

Why NOT accept that not everyone is going to like or understand you?!?!

Why be like everyone else?!?!

Why NOT live a life dedicated to more of what makes you happiest?!?!

Why be uptight, a snob, judgmental and a negative nelly towards others that are different in any way, shape or form?!?!

Why NOT try to get to know people for who they really are, for whom they are on the inside or just give them a smile of kindness as you pass them by?!?!

Why be so reserved, so afraid to shine and so apprehensive of who you are or who you want to be?!?!

Why NOT say “Hello world, here I am! Like me, Love me or Hate me….I AM WHO I AM, THIS IS ME!!” And be content knowing you are being true to yourself and that anyone who cannot accept you is losing out, not you?!?!

WHY NOT?!?!

WHY NOT!!!??!!!

“Judge not lest ye be judged”…“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.… These bible verses have always stuck with me over the years as I strive to see people for WHO THEY ARE and NOT FOR WHAT THEY AREN’T and as I try to treat others as I would like to be treated!!! Hello!!!!! None of us is perfect…All of us have issues…Weird is an understatement for most but that is what makes us unique…Uniqueness is something that each of us possess…Perfect is something none of us are but that’s what makes us, us…Us as individuals are unique, wonderful, weird, awkward and 100% one of a kind!!!

I Believe In YOU, I Know You Possess Greatness, I See You For Who You Are, I Love The Crazy Unique Weird YOU, I Wholeheartedly Know YOU Can And Will Succeed In Achieving Anything You Set Your Mind To!!! The choices are YOURS, always have been and always will be…..BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, BELIEVE, ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST, IGNORE THE HATERS, RISE AND SHINE FOR WHO YOUR ARE!!!

Positive Vibes on a Monday!!!

On this Monday morning I am sending everyone some Positive Vibes and encouragement to pay more attention to the positives in your life, to look towards what you have to gain!!

Life is full of speed bumps.  What matters most is how we get over them and push forward on to new and better things!!  Get out of your comfort zone and try something new!!  Follow your hopes and dreams and stop worrying about what may go wrong and start concentrating on what can go right!!  YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!  Hugs & Luvs 2 U All  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

Our Roads Are Different…..

Be Happy with what you have where you are.

But, NEVER give up or lose sight of your wants, your hopes & dreams!!

Hugs & Luvs 2 U All as we work towards what we want while enjoying the blessings we already have.🙂

Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson
 

 

There are ALWAYS positives in your Life.  Sometimes, we have to look a little harder…sometimes, we forget to look at our blessings instead of our troubles…sometimes, we don’t realize that our positives outweigh our negatives.

Change is hard…reaching your hopes, dreams & goals isn’t easy.  Everyday life can be challenging.  Our wants & needs vs. reality aren’t always the same and can be very frustrating.

We ALL have issues in Life, NONE of us is Exempt!!  Live your Life…..Be Happy with what you have while working towards your Hopes, Dreams & Goals…..Don’t compare your Life to others’ because You are Living Your Life and not theirs…..NEVER Give Up on Yourself…..Find the Good Within Yourself and Within Your Life…..Your Life & Your Choices are YOURS to Live so do NOT let the opinions of others stand in Your way…..Being Happy, Positive, Grateful & Thankful isn’t always easy but being miserable, negative, sad & hateful is NO way to live your life!!  Besides, no matter how bad you think your life is…..there’s ALWAYS someone worse off than you so you might as well find the Good things in your Life and Be Happy despite what everyday life throws your way!!

I hope my thoughts for today find you feeling more Thankful……Life isn’t always easy but with a few more positives and some thinking differently you can look on the brighter side of Life and find Life more bearable.  Huge Hugs & Much Luv from me 2 ALL of You especially to those that are struggling and may need a simple cyber hug.  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

 

Positive Thoughts and Determination….

Positive thoughts and determination will get you farther in life then negativity and giving up….😉

Believe in yourself and your abilities.  The ONLY limitations you have in life are the ones you give yourself!!!

Now, go and take on the world and keep following your hopes & dreams…keep following and chasing the red dot.  Hugs & Luvs 2 U All  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts……Robin Robinson

We all travel a different road…

Never give up…..

Push forward no matter how hard it may be, no matter how discouraged you may get.

It is up to YOU and your Inner Self to get it done!  I believe in you and your abilities.

Hugs & Luvs 2 U All  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

 

 

Remember who you really are today…..

I love the message this saying says and I agree completely!!  Believe in yourself and your abilities!! 

I for one believe in YOU, NEVER ever give up!! As always, I am here for each and every one of you and but a message away!!  Really, reach out to me anytime and I will do my best to listen, respond and help you in any way I can.

Great Big Hugs & Lotsa Luv …  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…Robin Robinson

 

 

We are but a small speck in a great big world…..

Be the positive difference in someone’s life no matter how brief your encounter….
Go about your day with confidence and believe in yourself….
Follow your hopes and dreams no matter what your age….
Never stop believing in miracles….
Be the best YOU you can be….
Now go about your day, do NOT dwell on the negatives but grasp your opportunities of each brand new day. Hugs & Luvs 2 U All🙂 .. Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

 

 

 

Attitude is Powerful in many ways…..

ATTITUDE

Your Attitude,
My Attitude,
The Attitude of Others….

Attitude is such a powerful thing in so many ways!  I could write a novel about Attitudes and possible meanings & affects based on just my opinion alone, but I will spare you.  🙂

Instead, I shall give you a few things to think on….

1. Is your Attitude positive and uplifting or is it negative and destructive?  Why do you think that is?
2. Is your Attitude a reflection of who you truly are and who you want to be?  Do you need to make any changes?
3. Is your Attitude helping or hindering your personal growth and happiness?  Think on this one a bit as there may be much you do not realize about yourself and your attitude.
4. How is your Attitude affecting others?  Is it in a good, positive, encouraging way or is it negative and discouraging and tearing them down?  Reflect on that a moment and think about how you may be affecting others both good and bad….should you try to make changes in your attitude, have you pushed others away, should you apologize and talk about any of your behavior?
5. Are the Attitudes of others affecting you by bringing you down or lifting you up?  Think on this, make changes if needed.  Figure out why/how, especially if it is negatively affecting you.
6. Is the Attitude of others holding you back from following your dreams, from going after what you want, for going after what you believe you deserve?  Maybe you need to reassess a few things/people.  You have this one life to life and this is YOUR life to live, mistakes and all…….Your Life, Your Choices…..do NOT allow others to stop you!

ATTITUDE is such a powerful thing in so many ways.  FOLLOW your hopes & dreams, NEVER give up, NEVER stop believing in yourself.  Take a time out whenever needed, but DO NOT allow yourself to get swallowed up by the negatives around you & within yourself!  You can make pit stops, but don’t park for too long!!

I am wishing you all the best of luck for Positive Attitudes and Positive Reinforcements to surround you!!  Believe in Yourself and your Abilities, make changes as needed!!  Great Big Hugs & Lotsa Luv from me 2 ALL of U … Thanks for Reading my Thoughts….Robin Robinson

“Things” happen to us, “Things” happen…..

Things happen to us, things happen within our lives and things happen around us.  These “things” do not have to define us, they do not have to consume us and they do not have to control us.

Life is what you make of it no matter what obstacles arise.  Life keeps moving forward…there is no turning it back…there is no time for do overs…there is no way to change what happened years ago or even 2 minutes ago…

YOU can and will get through anything…  Be Strong, Deep Breaths and believe that better times are around the corner.  Life is very little about what actually happens to us but hugely about the way we react, how we let it get us down, how we allow Life to get at us…. You cannot control everything but you can control your reactions and you can control your thoughts and positivity…  Life is what WE make of it.  I have faith in your abilities…your life your choices…you can and you will get through the obstacles of Life!!  Great Big Hugs & Lotsa Luv from me 2 ALL of U  ..  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…….Robin Robinson

How do you look at your Life, can you look at it differently?

Some very very true words…..but, ONLY if you can look at your life a little differently.

Life is what you make of it!!  There is NO such thing as a perfect life.  We always want more, we always want something different, we always want things to change…..  This is normal, this is good if you can use it to drive you towards working for your hopes and dreams, your goals.  It is great if you use it to fuel your passions.

However, the desires of wanting more often gets in the way of our own happiness, gets in the way of our ability to enjoy more of our daily lives, gets in the way of realizing how blessed we are in our current lives, gets in the way of appreciating the life that we currently have….

Make The Most Out Of Every Single Day….Never Give Up On Your Hopes, Dreams & Goals….When You Get Frustrated & Sad Remember The Positives Within Your Life….

Things Are Just Things, When We Pass We Cannot Take Them With Us.  So, Remember When You Are Longing For More And For The Perfect Life… Remember That, “YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT” and that there is likely perfection already WITHIN YOU & WITHIN YOUR LIFE!!!  Lotsa Luv & Great Big Hugs 2 U All  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

Time Doesn’t Wait For Anyone…are you still procrastinating?!?!?!

“TIME” doesn’t wait for anyone….this is what I awoke to.  Not sure why but in my dream there were many familiar faces running all around in chaos and “Time Doesn’t Wait For Anyone” is what I kept hearing and what stuck with me when I awoke…

Not sure what it’s trying to tell me but thinking on it the past couple hours I can say that Procrastination is easy, Procrastination is used more often than not but does it really help or hinder us to achieve, does it help or hinder in what needs to be done to move on and forward?!?!  What exactly does Procrastination do?!?!  I know I am the Queen of Procrastination and I am great at it but I have so much I want and need to do……

We are all good at making excuses for why we haven’t done something, as to why we haven’t planned that trip on the bucket list, as to why we haven’t achieved more, as to why we gave up on our hopes and dreams, as to why we havn’t looked for a different job, as to why…the list can go on and on of possibilities for/from procrastination.

Time Doesn’t Wait For Anyone is very true….  Time continues and goes on.  We cannot slow time down, we cannot go back in time for do overs…Time moves forward…Time always continues…Time is precious and the more time that passes the less of it we have to achieve anything and everything our heart desires!!!  STOP Procrastinatin, STOP Making Excuses, STOP Wasting Time, none of us is getting any younger and someday it will be too late!! ☺

Your paperwork, your laundry, your projects, etc. won’t get done by themselves…Time Doesn’t Wait, It Just Passes By….Ok, done with my random “Time” thoughts for now….  Think about and make goals for yourself and work towards them…  NO matter how big or small or how weird they may be!!  YOU Can do anything!!  All we have is time but procrastination doesn’t move us forward into achieving anything….  Big Hugs & Lotsa Luv from me 2 U  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts……Robin Robinson

Everyday is a New Day, A New Day for……

Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening as who knows when you may be reading this.

Everyday is a New Day, a New Day for different Choices, a New Day for Changes, a New Day for Following Your Hopes & Dreams, a New Day for More Positivity, a New Day for Taking Chances, a New Day to Leave the Past Behind, a New Day with Unlimited Possibilities.

Learn from the past, learn to remember the good and forget about the bad!!  Do what you love, do what you are passionate about….do whatever it takes to Love Your Life, do whatever it takes to Be Happy, do whatever it takes to Follow Your Hopes & Dreams…NEVER Give Up, NEVER Give In!!

You have this one life to live, right here right now so you might as well make the most of it and have some fun.  YOU hold the key to your own Happiness. Don’t let the negatives around you determine your Happiness…You are better than that.  May you ALL have a most wonderful day!  Hugs & Luv 2 U All  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

Morning Positives and Motivation

What are your goals?  Have you set them yet and are they in stages, have you written them down so you don’t forget and can look at them periodically to see how you are doing working towards them?

No matter what your age, goals of any caliber are a great thing to have…..such as:

• I want to have all my pictures in albums to be looked at (big goal) so I will finish 1 album a month by working on it every Saturday (small goal)
• I want to lose weight so everyday I will keep track of my good/bad food (self accountability) and do something like walking, jumping jacks, etc for 15 minutes 3x a week (big goal) and I will increase the minutes/times/activities, etc. every week (small goal)
• I want to travel to Germany (big goal) so I will put all of my loose change and $1’s in travel jar and everytime I want fast food…NO…think of Germany and take that money $5-10 and put in travel jar or piggy bank that has to be broken to get money out (small goal)

We can and should set goals for ourselves….they typically change, get altered or have setbacks but thats ok……at least we have them and have something to work towards.  Goals do not have to be shared, goals do not have to be difficult and goals do not have to mean something to anyone else.  Goals are something for ourselves but we can also have goals shared with others but we should always have some personal goals that are for ourselves.

So, what are your goals, YOU do have things to look forward to and to work towards so why not try another approach of making them come true?!?!   If not, why not?!?!  Ok, thats all I have….this is my Morning Motivation and Positive Thinking for today or at least for now!!  Good Luck to us ALL as we embark into yet another year!!  Good Luck with whatever GOALS you are setting for yourself, doing a little something everyday is better than doing nothing.  Hugs & Luvs 2 U ALL  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…….Robin Robinson

I Believe In YOU…..a little positivity as your day begins.

Good Morning!  Here’s your morning dose of ME and a little Positivity as your day begins!!  Change is hard, Life is hard, Following your dreams is hard……NO Matter what you have going on in your Life, NO Matter what Life is throwing at you, NEVER GIVE UP!!!  Life may knock you down, you may crumble and have a melt down, you may find yourself miserable and depressed…..it’s ok, we all have those moments and moments when we feel as though the whole world around us is crumbling….it’s okay, sometimes it’s exactly what we need to go through in order to to move on, in order to release the emotions that have been bottled up inside.

Sometimes, challenges are exactly what we need to get over the past and things that have or are still going on in our lives.  Things happen wether we like it or not and either we can dwell on it forever and be miserable or we can Choose to accept it and move forward!!  YOU hold the Power to YOUR own Happiness!!  I believe in YOU, YOU are not a failure you just have speed bumps like the rest of us to learn from, YOU are Loved far more than you believe and I know YOU can do it….YOU can DO anything, ALL things are possible but first ya gotta try!!  A great Big Hug or two & Lots of Luv from Me to You….Good Luck in all that you do and I hope you start believing in yourself more.  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…..Robin Robinson

Another Day – So Chin Up, Hold Your Head Up High and …….

Good Morning!!  What a beautiful sunrise once again…..I cannot help but feel so humbled as I am but a small fleck in this great big world.  Today is another chance, another opportunity and another beginning to your day, to your life, to your dreams…..  Each day is what YOU make of it!!  Don’t let the negatives of yesterday, the negatives of your past and the negatives of the world around you dull your shine!

You will never get this opportunity back so make the most of it!!  Chin up, hold your head up high and go about your day with the attitude and determination to make it great and to Go For It, whatever that may be!!  Hugs & Luv 2 U All ..  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…….Robin Robinson

GO FOR IT!! Do what makes you HAPPY…Staying Stuck & Complaining gets you no where…..

Throughout our Lives EVERY single one of us ends up a little stuck in a rut every once in awhile.  It happens, negativity around us and within us sometimes consumes us and we forget to be grateful and forget to be happy.  Don’t allow yourself to stay stuck, push forward, believe that you deserve more and go for it!!

Do more of what makes you happy…..you are sometimes a product of your environment so if things never seem to get better around you maybe it’s time for a drastic change, maybe it’s time to concentrate on yourself and your own happiness for a change!!  Never Give Up….Never Give In!!!  Good luck, I Believe In You, YOU CAN DO IT!!!  It’s okay if you stumble…….we all stumble from time to time…..just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try it again.  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts…….Robin Robinson

Not everyone gets to wake up and see the sunrise…..Live like there’s no tomorrow.

Ahhhhh……cup of coffee, bare feet on the coffee table and watching Gods paintbrush touch the sky as the sun is slowly rising this morning!! 😊☀️ 

I promise NOT every morning will be littered with my morning sunrise posts but sometimes I just cannot help but be in the awe of the beauty that surrounds me!!

Not everyone gets to wake up and see the sunrise……….some just don’t get up till after the sun is up while others just won’t have the chance to wake…..Life is precious, Life is not guaranteed.  Live your Life as if there is NO Tomorrow, Be Happy, Do More of the Things that Make YOU Happy, Live With NO Regrets just Lessons Learned, Follow Your Dreams!!  May you be able to find peace within yourself and within your surroundings……there’s so much to be grateful for.  Thanks for Reading my Thoughts………Robin Robinson
