Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Appreciating the people in our lives is an important part of the process of nurturing our relationships and promoting Love. We may show our appreciation in a variety of ways - verbally, with actions or, a combination of both. It is important to let our family members know how sincere we are and, how much we appreciate having them in our lives. Letting them know we love them, even when they might not act as we wish they would...perhaps, we are not meeting their expectations either, but then expectations tend to get in the way of reality. All individuals hope that the decisions which they make are respected...without us putting our own expectations on those decisions....this is a two-way street, as is most everything. Either way, appreciating our family members nurtures them but, is also self-serving because the benefit of Love is never wasted. Duality is the way of the world...the yin and yang.
Appreciating our spouses or partners...an extension of our family ties...is important so that they know we are not taking them for granted; that they know having them in our lives is important and special; and, that they know we choose to be with them because of our Love for them and more. It is just as important to receive appreciation in return for all those reasons. Love and trust are the bonds of the relationship; however, knowing you are appreciated and, being reminded that you are, will definitely strengthen the relationship. Again, yin and yang.
Our friends are also an important and vital part of our lives. Taking the time to let them know how much their friendship means to us is paramount to maintaining a healthy and lasting bond. We Love our friends for who they are and hopefully we wisely choose those with whom we intend to spend time and emotional expense. Trust and Love will bear out in the long-term. Just remember to sincerely appreciate those people in your life who have impact and whom you Love; the reward will be worth the effort.

Accountability
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Whether we make a mistake or do something spectacular, we are accountable for our actions. Everyday choices have a profound impact on our lives. When we err, it is important to make amends and repair any damage we may have done...this is especially important when dealing with people...loved ones, acquaintances and co-workers alike. To tell someone we are sorry, admitting our fault, and to ask for their forgiveness is the ultimate act of accountability and, a brave and right action. Hopefully, a relationship has not been damaged beyond repair, but if it has, you may go forward knowing that you took the courageous path. Keep in mind that a forgiving heart is a warm heart.
On the other hand, when we have accomplished something of note, it is ourselves to whom we are accountable. You will be most successful when you strive for the excellence that will feed your own satisfaction and not for the adulation of others. In the end, it is ourselves we must live with and, we will sleep much better knowing we have done our best. Yes, it is nice to get recognition for our accomplishments, but in the end it is ourselves we must acknowledge and love unconditionally; to do so, allows us to love others equally well. Keep in mind, it is also a good thing for us to congratulate those who have excelled or had something wonderful happen to them; being happy for an other's achievement is a loving action.
So, as you go forward in your daily activities, remember to take responsibility for your actions. Be brave enough to admit fault. Be open to an other's need to be forgiven...just as you will need that same reaction from time to time. Accountability is an important part of the "Super-Star" journey; be sure to give yourself room for thoughtful consideration of your actions and how they have affected your environment; be ready to take the brave and right action. Be thankful for all your blessings, and the blessings of others. Go forward promoting Love, Civility and Peace.

The "Genuine" Factor
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The level of the "Genuine" factor in everything we think, say, or do has a direct impact on the people with whom we are interacting, on ourselves and, on the Universe. Take a minute to consider this theory. If everything in the Universe is connected in some way and, if everything that happens has direct impact to the whole and, if any one of us is not being "Genuine" toward our contribution to that whole...how does that affect the whole or, the Universe?
Take all the time you need to wrap your brain around that one. What I mean is that everything and EVERYONE matters...we are all connected in some way. I mean that we must be present in each moment in order to be fully engaged in that moment. I mean that taking a minute to actually listen to the response from someone when you ask one of those "automatic" questions like, "How are you?" matters. Being "Genuine" MATTERS!
A "Genuine" spirit is appreciated by family and friends because they know by our words and actions that we sincerely love them. The natural result of a "Genuine" way of living is a life which is lived from a central point of Love. Truly living your life from that viewpoint will be a life well lived...a life built on values...a life that is GENUINE! The Universe needs more people who positively impact the world...so, be "Genuine!" Another natural result is being a Super-Star...promoting Love, Civility and Peace...now that's "Genuine!"

Getting it Right
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Today's post is compliments of www.LifeSupportSystem.com
GETTING IT RIGHT
A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He poked his father in the front seat and asked, "Daddy, why does my apple turn brown?" His father answered, "When the skin is removed from the apple, air reaches the flesh of the apple and causes oxidation. This changes the apple's molecular structure and results in a brownish color. After a long pause, a small voice from the back seat asked, "Daddy, are you talking to me?"
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing problems we all run up against. I want someone to explain how to get through difficult times or tell me what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right. But I think I identify a bit more with the father whose daughter asked him if he would help her with some homework. "I'm sorry," he replied. "It wouldn't be right." "Well," she said, "at least you could try."
"Problem is, I don't always have the answers I need. And nobody else seems to, either. So I blunder ahead worried that I'll never get it "right." But I'm beginning to learn something about not knowing what to do and making a poor choice. That is -- I don't HAVE TO always get it right. I don't have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from the mistakes and go on. The affable Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, "No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now." Which is pretty hard to do when you're waiting for the answers first...so, you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what? Forgive yourself and try again. Even if you don't get out of this world alive, you can get plenty of life out of this world if you're not too worried about always getting it right.-- Steve Goodier at: www.LifeSupportSystem.com

Generations
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I used to think my parent's generation was out of touch with mine; I was a little late for my coveted "Hippie" life...I was only twelve at the height of that revolution...so, my generation was of the "Disco" age. I have to admit, I still love the music of that era as well as the rock and roll of that time too. I believe my parents were loyal to the "Big Band" music of their generation, just as I find myself loyal to the music of my youth. I am intrigued, however, at how music defines moments in our lives, as well as the generations they represent.
An old song can take me back to a happy, or sad, time; or, a new song may define what is happening in my life now and I know when I hear it in the future I will remember this time in my life. Music is a medium that can bring the generations together if we would only let those feelings it elicits into our lives. I am hopeful that the generations to come will listen to our music and learn about who we were and about the struggles and triumphs we accomplished as the words of our generation's music depicts and, I hope we can learn about the up-and-coming generation by being open to listening to their music and what it represents to them.
The tapestry that has been, and continues to be, woven by the music of all generations is a beautiful melody of the evolution of the human spirit. If we listen closely we will hear echoes of how the world has grown and of how the Universe is answering us through the many artists who have contributed to this amazing medium of melody, thought and reflection. Listen to the music, feel the beat in your heart, sing the words that speak to you and hold them close...they resound through us and lend to our state of being. Let it be a happy and loving sense of truth. Let the generations come together in song!

Esteem
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Esteem of self, others and all living things, takes into consideration high regard, value and worth. We tend to value others more than we value ourselves, but we are all worthy of esteem; even ourselves. It is important that we remember to love, respect and honor ourselves as much as we do others.
When we love ourselves it allows us to more fully extend love; we must respect ourselves by expecting, and accepting, nothing less in return; and, we honor ourselves by taking care of ourselves first...this may sound selfish, but it is not; selfish acts are malicious and hateful. Taking care of yourself first will allow you the strength to help others when you are able.
Esteem of all living things, and Mother Earth, is considerate, valuable and worthy of our time and effort. Promote Love, Civility and Peace for a better world; the Universe will respond with blessings and harmony. Happy Earth Day.

Happy St. Valentine's Day
Hello Super-Stars! Happy St. Valentines's day! I hope your day is filled with love...in every way. Adding civility and peace, as the mission of this blog encourages, would be a wonderful way to round out the holiday. May your world be filled with all three...love, civility and peace.
Love comes in many forms and, from many sources. The Universe gives us its love by providing us with everything we need to survive and prosper, by giving us each other to care for and love and, by opening its infinite possibilities to allow us to find our passion and purpose. Finding the right fit takes some of us a lifetime and yet others find their talent, passion and purpose at an early age. For instance, just look at the musical prodigies that are so very young or the gifted athlete that is a natural and goes on to become a Hall-of-Famer.
However, you don't have to be world-renowned or famous to be a Super-Star; although some celebrities are known by that description because of achievements or notoriety in their chosen field of work. You simply need to live by a set of values that is based on the acronym of SUPERSTAR. Of course, it's easy for me to say, "simply," when I know it is not always that easy, but if you go forward with love, especially on this day of love; you will be heading in the right direction. So, go forward Super-Stars and spread the love!

Love, Civility and Peace
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you had a great weekend! February is the month of love with St. Valentine's day, but it is also Black History month, which speaks directly to one of the missions of this blog; promoting civility. Of course, treating ALL people with civility and respect should come naturally, regardless of someone's station or life situation. When we promote civility, it comes from love which, in turn, engenders peace in the process. Love, Civility and Peace...what a concept...oh, that's right...that's the whole point!
What can you do to change a belief you have that may be long-standing? Are you so hardwired in your beliefs that a Mack truck couldn't budge you? I know some people are set in their ways and that's okay...it's their choice...everything we do is by choice. However, if we want to continue to learn and grow, which is why we have this amazing ability to think; I would say you must have had many times in your life in which you have rethought your position or opinion on an issue and changed your mind. I have found that my outlook of the world around me and, the world at-large, is an ever changing and evolving view; that my opinions are challenged and sometimes changed by another's point-of-view or argument and, I readily let them know that they have effected a change in my stance. I continually question my own belief system in order to stay open to change. I believe that being open-minded to thought provoking discussion is an important element to my growth as an individual.
So I ask you...please make the effort to consider that change of thought and belief is possible; that you are on a continually evolving journey; that there are three sides to every coin - a front - a back - and the edge. Sometimes you have to look around the edge to see what is really going on and it may surprise you to find that it's not necessarily what you always thought or believed would be there. Please be nice to one another and spread love, civility and peace. It's worth the effort!
