We Make a Difference!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. We Make a Difference!!! Simply by being Polite, Courteous and Gracious. When we interact with family, friends and others, these attributes, and more, will serve us well and, that will help spread the Super-Star spirit and message of Love, Civility and Peace. Imagine the many beneficial consequences that will be produced if we all practice and, therefore, make these quality attributes a habit of our everyday lives. Why does it matter if we are Polite, Courteous and Gracious? How does the way we treat others affect us?

The Laws of the Universe naturally and effectively expand the ripple effect our thoughts, words and actions have on the whole. The consequences of all this Makes a Difference! For instance, when you practice these quality habits, you may see an immediate response in kind which will also brighten your day and life...because, We Made a Difference! So yes, it matters and, together, we are collectively building a brighter future. Keep in mind that how we treat others inevitably affects how we are treated in return.

The return on the investment of the quality habits we practice, by simply being nice, will come back to us when we least expect it and, when it is most needed. The Universe is set-up to give back to us that which we put forth. I don't know about you, but I prefer people being nice to me. The world is a diverse community that deserves our regard and kindness. As Super-Stars, it is our job to spread the message; it is responsible to think, speak and act in a quality manner; and, it's the right thing to do. So, go forward being Polite, Courteous, Gracious and, so much more; they are all quality habits worth cultivating. We do, indeed, Make a Difference!!!

Life's Lessons

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. As we mature throughout life - I believe this is a lifelong process - we are given many options from which to choose on how we want to be, and live. Some people take risky pathways, but others may be more careful as to where they focus their energies and innate gifts. Either way, living a Super-Star life, driven by the core values of the acronym, will certainly give you a place from which to help build a world of Love, Civility and Peace. While creating a value-driven life, it is important to remember that you are always learning and embracing new ideals, but it is just as important to teach these values and ideals as you grow. All of life's lessons are the building blocks of our existence.

Teaching and learning go hand-in-hand. Teaching, by using words and the actions to back them up, is most effective when done with an expectation of success - staying positive is crucial. I think it is also important to admit if you have made a mistake...think about the outcome...you are sharing a learning experience with someone else and, in turn, they too have learned the lesson. As well, appreciation for your forthright humility, will further the outcome. Sharing our values gives us the opportunity to teach each other, but also allows us to learn from those we are trying to help...including ourselves. The energy continues on and on...into the ripples of the principle Laws of the Universe.

Keep promoting Love, Civility and Peace. Teach and learn. Learn and teach. The effort will be worth your time as you make a difference in your own life, as well as the lives of your family and friends...and all their friends...and all the friends of friends...the infinite possibilities of the extent to which your thoughts, words and actions will resound is amazing to imagine. All is possible when we live and love through a value-based foundation.

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

The Greatest Gift of All, by Steve Goodier

Hello Super-Stars I hope you are all doing well. Steve Goodier encourages his readers that blog to share his messages and I have to say, this one is a keeper and, one that must be shared (I have made a few minor edits, but the story is the same.) I hope you find it as inspiring as I did and, that as Super-Stars, we will be a positive force that will enable us all to give and receive...

THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL

A little boy and girl were singing their favorite carol in church the Sunday before Christmas. The boy concluded "Silent Night" with the words, "Sleep in heavenly beans." "No," his sister corrected, "not beans. Peas." The story reminds me of the wonderful and hectic holiday season many of you are now enjoying. Dave Garroway was, for many years, the host of the TODAY show on NBC television. Someone once asked him about his understanding of Christmas. He replied: "I've noticed that when people are asked what they want for Christmas, nine times out of ten, they answer with something material. That used to be amusing to me, but it's not amusing to me any longer. I happen to be one of those people who can afford anything he wants, but I find what I really want, I can't buy at any price. I want peace of mind, peace of soul; the kind of peace you have when you don't really want anything.

"What do YOU want for Christmas? Or, if you don't celebrate Christmas, what do you want for your life. For your world? For me, what I want cannot be bought or gift wrapped. What I want most can best be summed up in words like "faith" and "hope" and "love." For myself, I want faith. Faith enough to see light in even the bleakest of situations. Faith enough to believe that goodness will prevail in the end. For my loved ones I want hope. Abundant hope. Hope in tomorrow. A hope that helps them believe that better times lie ahead so they can take that next step. For my world I want love. And, I believe that the solutions to most of our biggest problems will only be found when we decide that we are indeed one family. The problems of war, health care, crime in city streets, immigration and unemployment take on a different hue when I am talking about my brothers and sisters whom I love dearly. Do you also want things you can't buy? What if we all decided to go after those things this year...the things that truly matter? That could be the greatest gift of all. -- Steve Goodier.

Love, Civility and Peace will indeed solve many of the world's problems if we give the Greatest Gift of All...through our thoughts, words, and actions on a scale of Universal proportion and healing, which is possible, when we join together promoting The Super-Star mission in every way we are able and, with every breath we take.

Positive Forces

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well and, having a great summer! In keeping with the Super-Star mission, please keep sending the Positive Force of your thoughts, words and actions into the Universe. When you see someone who seems sad, send them positive vibes; when you recognize that a negative situation is brewing, send out your positive vibes to those who need your help; when all is well, continue to think, say and do the positive thing. The Positive Force, of us all, is a mighty tool indeed, and one which the Universe needs and appreciates.

The mystery of the Universe continues to unfold and show us just how very much of a difference we all make with our day-to-day lives...individually and collectively. We need only to really take a look around to notice the impact we make, let alone the impact we make as a united Positive Force. The possibilities toward the good of mankind, and of all the creatures of the Universe, are infinite...just as the reaches of the Universe are infinite and Divine.

Be a Positive Force in every thing, in every way and, forevermore!!! The mission is simple...the rewards are beyond imagination...but, the outcome is the destiny we choose by our very thoughts, words and actions as Super-Stars! Continue the journey of choice toward a more abundant life with the power of the Positive Force!

Optimism

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Optimism allows hope to flourish and defeats despair, even in uncertain times. I know well the urge to hide my head in the sand and not face day-to-day struggles, but doing so does not solve anything...it only puts off what must eventually be faced. So, optimism is a state of mind and being that lifts us up and gives us ongoing hope for whatever it is that we each must overcome.

I find myself going back to the basics of my "Super-Star" message to find ways to make a difference in some one's life because doing so makes a difference in my life. I've written about helping the "little old lady" put her groceries in her car...about thanking a Veteran for their service...about adding a positive spin to an otherwise down-and-out situation. Together, we can make a difference in each other's lives. It takes only a moment to be nice, considerate and understanding.

Adding optimism to our way of thinking will inevitably add this very important mindset to the Universal flow of consequence. Everything we do, or don't do, affects the overall outcome of our lives and the world in which we live. Please make it a habit to be optimistic and continue to spread the "Super-Star" mission and vision in every part of your life. Even when it seems that nothing is going your way, you will attract the very thing you need by being optimistic, believing in, and being the best of, who you are. By the way, optimism is contagious so, spread the message!

Milestones: The Life Markers We Hold Dear

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The variety of milestones each of us have had mark significant advances we have made along this journey we call life. Losing your first tooth and waiting for the "Tooth Fairy" to leave money under our pillow; starting Kindergarten...my beginning in this was fraught with much drama but that is another story...okay, I spit in the teacher's face the first day...yes, quite the little hellion, but my older brother had scared the living daylights out of me and I was scared...I'm not sure that the teacher, Mrs. Swanson, was quite ready for the likes of me, but we ended up having a good year...I really was a nice little girl...at least that was what Mrs. Swanson wrote on her end-of-the-year note to me. Anyhow, back to our milestones...each year we celebrate many occasions; birthdays, anniversaries, religious events depending on our faith and any number of other significant events along the way.

Some of these events become precious memories which we treasure forever, some are forgotten as we grow older and perhaps become less attuned to what might have once been important to us, and yet others become things that always bring a good laugh...just like that first day of Kindergarten always does for me (please, go ahead, laugh all you want.) That wasn't a very "Super-Starry" kind of day for me, but I learned that spitting at your teacher was not a very nice thing to do nor, to do to anyone else for that matter. The point is that the memories we make are determined by the choices we have made. How we remember these events is influenced by how we thought and felt about the happening. And, the more important the event is to us, the more details we will remember and treasure.

My Step-Grandmother is turning an amazing 100 years old August 14th; most of the extended family of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and others from near and far are gathering this weekend to celebrate her birthday. I can only imagine the many milestones her life must hold. The good times and bad, the gifts that life gives and the losses endured, the transformation the world has seen since 1908; two World Wars, the Great Depression, and countless events and history witnessed during such a long-lived life. We too are making our own history each day we live and breathe. Are we making good choices? Are our thoughts and feelings being used to the good? Are we living a "Super-Star" life? I believe Nana would appreciate knowing that we are always doing the best we are able to make the world a better place. Happy Birthday, Nana...you go girl!!!

In love & light and, with much appreciation,
Glenna :-)

The Weather

Hello Super Stars! I hope you are all doing well. For me, Summer tends to drag on and on as I wait for the cooler days of Autumn and Winter to bring their refreshing breezes and clear the oppressive humidity that is Summer in Florida. In the North, many spend the Winter hibernating and avoiding the cold...wishing for warmer days. The point is that we seem to be always wishing for the next thing and not enjoying what is today. It doesn't matter what the weather outside is...what matters is what the weather inside is...the weather inside of ourselves.

Regardless of the weather outside, we do have control over the weather of our own making; the weather inside ourselves. Some days it's sunny and bright...other days seem to go from one dark storm to another. We have the power to change our weather by not accepting the latter; but, by taking a moment to take a deep breath and redirect our thoughts into actions that support a sunnier outlook; a brighter day.

When we choose Light over dark, we have chosen wisely and, the outcome of our encounters along the road of life will reflect this Light back to us in many unforeseen and unseen ways. The Universal vibrations support and reflect back to us all that we have put forth. I am not perfect, but I do consciously try to always put my best thoughts and actions out there and I am pleasantly surprised, and grateful, by the Universe's response. Promoting Love, Civility and Peace has its rewards...the weather is beautiful, sunny and bright!

Dreaming

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Dreaming comes in many forms; the hopes and aspirations we have for ourselves and others, the subconscious imaginings of our sleep time and, the conscious meanderings - or daydreaming - we do all the time. Dreaming is a good thing; it gives us hope and the opportunity to imagine a better future for ourselves and the world. It is an energy that is not wasted on the Universe, which hears and feels the energy of our dreams.

However, it is important that we stay in the present and not live in the dream world we imagine we want. We must believe the Universe will provide for our dreams and leave it at that; allowing for the flow of the dream energy to come back when we least expect it - when the time is exactly right. Hard work and diligence, coupled with sound values, will open the path for that energy to come back around.

Keep dreaming. Keep your hopes alive and well. Share the bounty you reap with those less fortunate; the more you sow, the more your yield will increase. The energy of the Universe is immense and infinite; never ending, always flowing and, ever increasing. Go with the flow.

Patience

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Today, I would like to address patience. In today's increasingly busy world, it is hard to find the patience to deal with so many of the things that seem to be rushing our way. Multi-tasking has become commonplace, but at the same time, it is becoming intolerable. The demands on our time continue to intrude on our peace-of-mind. Many people are fighting the good battle, but their patience is sorely tested.

We witness this trend in our own lives and the lives of our family and friends; in the way we and others drive - seemingly without thought to the safety of others - just so we get where we need to go as soon as possible; irritation that is easily riled by any number of situations, somewhat like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland - always late and in a hurry - with no time to waste; time has become a precious commodity, which is readily savoured when there is a break to be had. However, living a life based on the Super-Star principles requires immense patience.

Patience comes easily to some of us, but to others, it is a trial of the highest order. Patience can be cultivated with practice and diligence and I believe, is worth the effort. To not have patience with someone is to not be understanding, compassionate, polite or even helpful. I'll grant you, there are at times, limits to what we are able to endure, but if you are as patient as possible, the rewards may surprise you. Have the patience to slow down and smell the roses. Have the patience to help another. Have the patience to be a conscientious driver for safety's sake...the life you save may be your own.

Consequences of Choices

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The last time I wrote about choices, I directed the conversation toward trust, since that is the foundation of all relationships. Now, I would like to discuss the consequences of the choices we make. The Universe's vibration is affected by each of our choices - especially those of the leaders of the world's nations; as is clearly evident with the status of world events as they now stand and, in many cases, have stood for millenniums - seemingly without an end in sight. The struggles and actions of the various peoples of the world for land and resources, the right to live freely or, for domination, have all had consequences. History is ripe with the victories and failures of the past, but it is the future that must now be considered; for the future holds us in awe of its possibilities.

What might we do now to help the future provide us with what we, the world, and the earth need? I believe it is imperative to move forward with positive choices, to use the "Super-Star" acronym as a basis for value-driven choices and, to make choices that allow the people of the world to come together for their common good and that of the planet; for the common good of humankind. To do less will most assuredly lead to more of the same. It is up to all of us to go forward with this in mind so that we may make wise and prosperous choices for the future. Our very lives depend on these choices.

The consequences of choices are clearly evident. The results of action versus non-action may differ, but either way, there are effects; short-term and long-term alike. Prudent choices, which are made with honor, and followed-up with proper and timely action, will decide how the world comes together for the good of all - one person at-a-time. Yes, one person at-a-time; we can make a difference with our daily actions - we must make the good choices - the sometimes hard choices - our best choices will enable the world to survive and thrive. I know we can do what we must. I stand in awe of what we can accomplish together - please join me on the "Super-Star" journey.

Choices

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Making good choices in everything we do is at times seemingly impossible because of the many temptations which we encounter on a daily basis. However, I believe that if we think about the foundation of all relationships - TRUST - we must then realize that everything else is supported by this foundation. Love grows from, and is supported by, trust. Friendships are grounded on trust. Business relationships are based on trust. Just as a house's foundation is made to hold the house intact, so is trust the foundation that holds relationships together.

When we make the choice to break a trust then we have put a crack in the foundation of the relationship. Certainly, the foundation can be repaired with help, but the scar of the fix will forevermore be there. All of our CHOICES affect our world in profound ways that are immeasurable. We may not even know that a choice has hurt another person's feelings or that they believe we have in some way betrayed them. Unless they are brave enough to bring the issue to our attention, we may never be able to make amends or realize that we have breached their trust. Be brave enough to let someone know if they have hurt you. Most importantly, be brave enough to admit your errors, your lapses in judgement or your poor choices when you recognize you have made them.

Making good choices may very well be the bravest thing you do everyday. Keeping the foundation of your life intact will lead you to a healthier, happier and truer existence. The foundation of your life is what holds the house that is you together. TRUST in yourself and trust in others to promote a world of love, civility and peace. Good choices are worth the effort.
