Not What's Missing. . . What do you do with what You Have?!

Not What’s Missing...



What do you do with what you have?!

Not What’s Missing. . .What do you do with what you have?!


This share is Inspired by my Baby Brother, of course not a baby, but the endearing words that I’ve attached to him.

He currently resides in a different state located many miles away.
But
We touch base as often as possible
For that alone, this Heart is very Grateful
And 
During a recent check-in 
He mentioned that he had intended to prepare a certain meal 
only to find out 
A certain ingredient was missing for meal Plan A, 
Now because of that “missing item” would shift to Meal Plan B



The Inspiration, the Love that filled this heart, "is the Shifting Factor" 
It is whatever is before us
That allows us to decide what to do with it
What do we do with what we have now?!



My heart was instantly filled with how this fits into what I live on, what I share, what I choose to exercise in. . .

The Focus
The Focus
The Focus

The Focus is not what is missing, it is for this heart
What do we do with what we have now?! 



Instead of FOCUSING On
and
Sharing with whomever is listening
Always about what is missing in your life?!


These words really matter to this Heart
Because
It represents the choice we confront every day, in every moment
“Living Fully” in every moment “gifted” to us



It is not waiting on that certain moment
It is not determined when arriving at a certain destination
It is not being stagnated or weighted by what was
When Hope exists 
IT IS
For This Heart
Connected to ‘right now’ and Exercising Gratitude in What Is Right Now?!



From a Heart that Knows
Living Inside Out, Peace within is priceless
FOCUS
Is not centered on EASY
FOCUS
Is a CHOICE, Always a Choice


This Heart Knows
That the Gift is located in Right Now
The Gift is located in every moment, in every opportunity
To share a smile
To share in Laughter with those we love
Every opportunity "afforded" to us



Beautiful is having a heated debate about any Topic
And
Not allowing that debate to end on walking away offended
We don’t have to agree
The gift is being able to have the conversation
Without being angered or so easily offended
It really is okay 
To Agree to Disagree and Continue Forward



Life offers so many things
It is the View 
It is the Perspective
Recognizing that as we Journey Together
It’s a Choice 
Always a Choice
That while we Travel with Many
Only You
Only I
Only We can decide the ‘choices’ that we will make


We can choose to Celebrate every moment afforded to us
Every Opportunity 
That a “Breath” offers


Not What’s Missing. . .
What do we do with what we have?!


This heart “lived” that way
This heart lives this way


Choosing to Exercise in that way
Not Focused on what is Easy
Not concerned about what can’t be changed “this day”
Intentional Living
Making choices daily of the words
And
The actions that this heart chooses


Dear Friend

This is what allows our Hearts to Rob Regret
Because 
For Some,
We Know What Really Matters
Every Single Day


When Life Changes
Not If
But When



It will not be centered on what’s missing 
Instead a Peaceful Heart that Cherishes all things Experienced
Because we chose our intention daily
We Exercised Gratitude Daily
We Focused on What Really Matters Daily
Living In What Really Matters



That is
What is meant when this Heart Shares
From a Heart that Knows
Gratitude Robs Regret


Not What’s Missing…
What do we do with what we have?!

​

Until Next Time . . .
This Heart Does Not Share Answers
This Heart Shares a Perspective
That allows a Peace Within that can’t be Measured
