Texas
Educators Vote- Creating a culture of voting isn’t a
one-person job. It takes everyone working toward the same goal of modeling
civic engagement to really make a difference. The Texas Educators Vote group
has provided some key steps you can take depending on what role you play.
Everyone is important and everyone has a job to do! The TEV website breaks it
down for you here.
Today's blog post
is part four of five from a message I found several years ago. It is a long
message so I thought it would be best to break it up into separate posts. The
author is unknown to me, but it speaks to me… I hope it does to you as well.
There Comes a Time
You come to the realization that you
deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity, and respect and you
won't settle for less... and in the process, you internalize the meaning of
self-respect. And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin
to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin eating a balanced diet,
drinking more water and taking more time to exercise. You learn that fatigue diminishes
the spirit and can create doubt and fear. So, you take more time to rest. And,
just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So, you take more time to
laugh and to play.
You learn, that for the most
part, in life you get what you believe you deserve... and that much of life
truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You learn that anything worth achieving is
worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different from
working toward making it happen. More importantly, you learn that in order to
achieve success you need direction, discipline, and perseverance. You also
learn that no one can do it all alone and that it's OK to risk asking for help.
You learn that the only thing you
must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time... FEAR itself. You learn
to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever
happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to
live life on your terms. And you learn to fight for your life and not to
squander it living under a cloud of impending doom. You learn that life isn't
always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes
bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people. On these occasions, you learn
not to personalize things. You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to
answer your prayers. It's just life happening...to be continued
"five of five next week"...Have a
nice day… Unless you have made other plans!

Why
did the Clydesdale give the pony a glass of water? (email me or go to www.thecruseline.com for the answer.)
Because
he was a little horse!
