Shakin' it...move it, do it today NOT tomorrow...

Shakin' it over at my http://bettyscrazycritter.bogspot.com/ , can mean a variety of things.

Our pet turkeys are a prime example of good shakers!

Today I really decided to shake it up a bit.

I added tribal dance to my busy day. Something I've been wanting to do for some time

You know , the ...tomorrow I'll do it , start it, make it...

applying my own advice from a recent make it a 10 post, today was "the" day...

If one is not careful those tomorrows roll into a week, a month, a year, a lifetime.

What have you been planning to do, start ?

Here are some of my new 'starts"...

I just received my new home business guide from my business associate Alicia and I am so excited for her, it is a fabulous home business book. I can hardly wait to finish reading it.

I just had a new and excited coach ,join my health coaching team...I can hardly wait for them to earn their cab bonus...wow..

I just finshed day one at my new tribal dance class...my muscles are telling me , umm you shook us up, a bit, "we" think you could have waited until TOMORROW...

TOO BAD MUSCLES...THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD....

Now it's your turn.

What do you want to shake up a bit?

Perhaps I can assist you, be it your health, weight, finances, personal or spiritual growth

My passion is to empower you to succeed, e-mail me at betty@bettyframesuccess4u.com

You can do it... Attitude is everything

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

You can taste it, "it's" just beyond your reach. You've "stretched" your utmost and still no "luck".

When should you quit? After the first unsuccessful attempt,the second,third,tenth?

Those who obtain success, do not quit.They try,figure,attempt,recalculate,stop to figure all angles.

There is something they all have in common, tenacity,perseverance, the never
say die attitude. They are never defeated, they just go over ,around or under or through.

A difficulty is seen as a challenge, and they are committed to daily action, my husbands football coach would challenge his team with this saying: a team that won't be beat, can't be beat.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

So wherever you are facing a challenge. Your health, marriage, family, kids, work,finances, losing weight, starting a new business, learning a new ,well anything.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

BE UNBEATABLE

YES, YOU CAN DO IT !

oh , the giraffe did get a leaf now and then :-) ...he knew he would !

Has life got you down? make it a 10

HAS LIFE GOT YOU DOWN ?

I recently was listening to a motivational cd and wow, what can I say ? Wow !

I thought I'd share this little bit with you. You and I, we were born a 10...

Think about that, then realize where you "are" currently...

Are you still a 10? If not, why not ? What has transpired to shift you from that 10?

Something someone did or didn't do, say or not say ?

As my good friend and potter mentor would tell me when I was frustrated with my mud, or anything else for that matter , get over it. She did this with laughter and we would both laugh and GET OVER IT... of course with " clay mud" that is much easier. The "mud" life may have either slung, plastered, covered or bogged us down with, can be more complex.

You know what ? Yesterday, the past 5 minutes are G-O-N-E-- so Get over it...

Look to what is ahead, you may need to pull up on your boot straps and tighten your belt a bit,

depending on what kind of circumstance you happen to be in, but what ever, you ARE still

a 10... if you've made mistakes, learn from them and BE the 10 you are. The 10 you were created to be.

We could get into a theological discussion about this, but what I am getting to in this post is

to not let circumstances, people,places, or things : take away from you, who you are, or keep you from being your best , in reality they are for causing us to look upwards.

So, start living as a 10. and may your days be greener :-)

to the end of the universe and back

My last post had a gorgeous picture about the universe,

I have a couple more to share, I don't know who either painted or took them.

But they fascinate me.

Open your eyes to new horizons today, whatever you are doing, think big, think win,

think..yes you can...

Someday I will create a painting such as these, but I am currently in the middle of a jungle scene, so I'd better "whack" my way through the vegetation with my paint brush and finish it.

Until then I will enjoy looking and dreaming, and as in my crazycritter blog, be ruminating on my space painting :-)

A suggestion if you are "stuck"

Set your eyes on a star, aim for it, you may hit a tree, but if you only set your eyes on the tree, you may never get off the ground ( I received this chinese proverb in a chinese fortune cookie , some 30 years ago, and I've carried it with me to remind me to keep looking up...

WOW, no matter what ...no one except God knows tommorrow, so no matter what obstacle, even health seems to be getting you down. Look up ( one of my favorite Bible verses) Look to the Mountains, from whence cometh your help, you help cometh from God.

I can attest to the fact, even if a Dr tells you...you will never get "better", improve, etc...that isn't necessarily so... one day at a time and why not pie a'la mode and go for it :-)

Creation... Let there be Light...

I was fascinated with this picture, I love the colors, the beauty, the lift to the imagination.

I was also fascinated with this recent forward from a friend. I clicked on the link and listened to the audio reading in the King James version, I closed my eyes and sensed a great balm of peace upon listening to the WORDS...of chapter one of Genesis. I liked the voice of the reader, I am not sure if the reader is the same for other translations. I happen to enjoy the reg king James version the best. I plan to listen every day.

I have read through the entire Bible ,many times and I find it intriguing to listen my way through , on a daily basis. Why not join me ?

I created a special file specifically for this link , so I can readily click on it, anytime I wish

click here... http://www.biblegateway.com/ scroll to the bottom and click on listen to the Bible, here you can click on your favorite version .

To crush a violet..sweet fragrance

SWEET FRAGRANCE...It is only when a violet is crushed that frangrance is derived from this humble little flower.

This little flower holds it head up ,face to the sun, and when it is crushed it surrenders sweetness. What is going on in your life? What challenges,trials,heartaches do you bare? Breathe in a deep breath from Heaven above, and savor every moment you are blessed with. Let the video below inspire you to new heights..and may you be blessed with strengths to reach them.

I have been mulling about how to answer a recent request made to me.

To answer the request with an affirmative action, while it would bring me joy since a yes answer would include one of my true loves, I have been hesitating. Why, you ask? Well, for starters an answer with a positive response, would take some work, effort and management on my part. I generally like to say yes, to most requests made to me . I believe in the principals of when someone asks for your coat, a loaf of bread, or to walk a mile with them, we are to do what we can, and to walk 7 instead of 1. I also know I am to be a good steward of my time, energy and resources.

How to make them line up ? Espescially in "grey" areas ?

How do you "figure" in the true cost and value of any given thing?


What does a simple deed set in motion ? Will we know, this side of heaven?


While weighing the pros and cons of a decision I need to make, what should "greet" me in my e-mail, but this story and video clip (about 4 min)... What can I say? I knew the answer within my heart, as I knew how a little elbow grease on my part could potentally set great things in motion...Only eternity will know...

I hope you enjoy this story and video as much as I did.

I cried the whole way through, how can I say I am too busy, stretched, tired or whatever.


The look on the son's face says it all.



READ STORY FIRST...

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.

One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.'
To which, his father said 'Yes' to.

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island .
Father and son went on to complete the race together.

NOW WATCH THIS VIDEO:>> http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=8cf08faca5dd9ea45513
One dad's review of the video:
“So often in the past I have described myself as a good father.
Manners count for everything. A time and a place. All the things I thought really counted.
How wrong can I be. When I don't get my own way I shout.
When I'm occupied I delay.
I do play with my children but on my terms and at my convenience.
Then one day I'm sat at home in my own smug little world and see something like this.
All I can say is thank you.
Your strength and love shames me ,but hopefully that is something that I can change.
I do love my children but now I must show my love to them.
I don't have the strength shown in the video ,but I can use that strength as my inspiration.”

Nick , one truly amazing Aussie

When life seems to overwhelm you, when you think the day is long, the task too difficult,
think of Nick.

Perhaps you've had some major setback, or had some bad news, think of Nick.

Perhaps you just never felt very special, or have suffered major criticisms, think of Nick.

Whatever your circumstance, you can still triumph , you can still sparkle. you can do and accomplish much more than you thought possible, think of Nick

I hope you enjoy this video from one truly amazing guy from down under.

Have a box of Kleenex handy, you may need it. Your tears will be for the joy Nick shares with you.

Then remember, whatever you are facing, nothing is impossible for God, and He has your best interest in His heart. Even if at times it doesn't seem so. That is why He paid so much for you.
