If you believe “anything goes,” you should remember “everything counts.” If you plant briars, you harvest briars not roses…

When peer pressure strikes, and it will, remember that you are the peer. You control you–your thoughts, actions and deeds. Don’t forfeit them to someone else who doesn’t know you as well as you know yourself. And when others pressure you to do something you know is wrong or against what you believe is right for you, say no, remembering that you are the peer.
Follow your own star. Hitched to it are your hopes and dreams–your future and your destiny.
Blessings,
Vicki

Decisions require us to look at what is but also at what is possible. If what is lacks potential and we settle for it, we neither recognize nor value our purpose, and if we do not value our purpose, then who shall?

Turn Your View Around
© 2012, Vicki Hinze WARNING: This is a no-edit zone…
Bad things happen. But often with perspective, we see that they weren’t worthless. Those bad things protected, prevented worse, prepared us with the wisdom of experience, offered us insights from which we gained wisdom. When bad things happen, don’t despair. Turn your view around and seek the good. In doing so, you negate the need for a repeat and you unearth gems.
Bell Bridge Books just let me know that Beyond the Misty Shore, Seascape Trilogy, Book 1, is FREE on Kindle 12/22-12/25.
This is a general market novel written in 1995. It’s romantic suspense with a whimsical metaphysical (paranormal) element that is gentle.
The stories take place at Seascape Inn, aka the Healing House.
If you’d like to download a FREE copy, here’s the URL:

Create Your Perfect Life
Plant one foot firmly on the ground and one foot firmly in the clouds.
Be responsible and always dare to dream.
The life you create will not be perfect.
It will be perfectly yours.

An FYI: Thru 12/23/2011 Kill Zone is 99 cents
at Amazon. They included it in their “Big Deal” promotion.
Kill Zone is a General Market romantic suspense novel in the War Game Series. The other War Game novels are also discounted right now. I have no idea for how long.
War Games stories: Body Double, Double Vision, Double Dare, Total Recall (novella in Smokescreen) and Kill Zone.
When we’re really busy–or really struggling for any kind of reason–it’s easy to miss the little miracles that happen in our lives every day. When we miss them, we miss the joy and happiness they bring. We miss the pleasure and reassurance they carry. We lose.
There will always be a thousand things to do. We will always be busy. But why are we doing all we’re doing if we then lack the time or good sense to enjoy anything–including life itself?
Pause. Take a moment. Draw in a couple deep breaths. Don’t settle for just smelling the roses. Also smell their leaves and stems.
Blessings,
Vicki

Standing for nothing means you’ll fall for anything—and because you’re not standing, the ground is awfully close. In short order, you find yourself supine, nose down and flattened like a pancake. If that’s where you are, you’re to blame. Don’t wait for a white knight to rescue you. Rescue yourself—you have the most at stake and the greatest vested interest in you and your success. Get up and move on, wiser, more determined, more resolved. You create your future by the actions you take each and every day.
