“I’m not going to lower my standards, so up yours!” I heard this on one of the political stations on satellite radio yesterday and it cracked me up! The play on words is pretty funny but it is also very true. I often hear of people lowering their standards for what is acceptable in their life. They decide to put up with abuse, they try things that they know are wrong (drugs) or they keep people in their life that don’t belong there. It is a slippery slope and once you lower your standards it makes it easier to lower them again and again. Don’t do it! Raise your standards, live with integrity, maintain your convictions and Live Inspired Now!

Relationships don’t make you happy, they reflect your happiness. If you are single, don’t search for that person who will make you happy. Look for the person you can share your own happiness with. Happiness is not something you can find, it is something you can be. If you are not feeling very happy, whether you are in a relationship or not, try being grateful. Everyone has something to be grateful for, even the fact that you woke up today. I am always grateful for choices, we all have choices even if we choose not to acknowledge them. We always have the choice to be happy, to start a new relationship, to leave an abusive relationship or to re-create the passion and excitement in an old relationship. So if you are unhappy in your current relationship, look within, is there something you could be doing to change or improve things? Are you truly reflecting happiness in your daily life? Think about the things you can do to remind yourself to choose happiness each and every day and Live Inspired Now!

Remember this toy? Actually, remember when we had “toys?” Everything now is digital, computerized, wireless and virtual. Thad and I were explaining the wooly willy toy to a friend a few days ago and then there it was last night in a craft store! I was thinking about all the cool games, board games and toys we had as kids and how we would sit in our room and play for hours. I spent more hours playing barbies and jump rope than anything else…. oh wait, I also liked marbles! Today, introduce your kids, or younger friends to some old favorites and Live Inspired Now!

There is really no reason in this day and age to “not know something!” I often hear people say that they “just don’t know how to do it” or “I didn’t go to school for that” or even “I can’t, I don’t know how.” With the internet at our disposal, there is NO reason to “not know something” ever! You can research that behavioral challenge your child is having, you can learn how to create your own website, you could learn to speak another language or how to build something! We are so very blessed to have access to the entire world of people, knowledge, information and instruction… and for free! So today, if there is something you don’t know how to do, research it, learn about it and Live Inspired Now!
