If you purpose to be productive, as I do, and you are goal oriented, then it is likely that lists are a handy tool you use daily.
Lately I have found myself making a new kind of list.
As I learn life lessons, experience joy, focus on my goals, all while growing as a person......then, I find that some things just aren't as important as I had previously perceived them to be.
So, I make a new list.
The style is the same, complete with bullet points and abbreviations.
The focus has changed.
My life mission has deepened:
Love my Life. Reduce Stress. Make Art. Do the things I Love.
Would you like to see my new list?
Do Not Do: The Master List
Care too much about something that cannot be changed.
Neglect the talents that are within.
Stay down too long when I fall.
Take today's trauma in to tomorrow.
Let fear influence decisions.
Spend energy on things that break my heart.
Miss unique opportunities because I am too distracted with life........this busy life.
Cry over losing something that wasn't there to begin with.
Lose the passion that has carried me to where I am today.
I've learned a few things along the way, but only now am I brave enough to admit what it's going to take to keep on learning.

Life has a way of knocking us down sometimes.
Hope, Strength, and Courage have a way of picking us up,
dusting us off,
focusing our eyes, head and heart,
and sending us on our way,
in the right direction.
Please tell me, what would YOU add to this list? I would love to know your thoughts.
Loving and Living Life................ Amanda
