As we wrap up my discussions on the Ten Daily Actions to Live by I hope you have found some actions you currently live by and some that you would like to incorporate into your life. I must admit to live them daily is a challenge but I keep working on making them a habit. As I wrap up this series of blogs I thought it would be beneficial to share a poem I made using the Ten Daily Actions.
“My message makes me responsible to be a person of action. My life is about loving and helping people. I help them flourish by the amount of time I give to them. I choose to be a happy person and I will have a positive attitude toward others. I have chosen my path to follow daily and to greet each day with a forgiving spirit. I will live a great today because I am a person of faith and I know my gifts and talents come from my God.”
Please take time and share with me which Action you feel you use the most often and why? Which Action do you think is the most challenging for you and why? I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather and appreciating the gifts we are given each day.
Have a GREAT day!

Where do your talents and gifts come from?
As I reveal my final action to live by in this blog I hope you have found some worthwhile actions to make your life, the life you want it to be. We all have the capability to make our life the BEST if we choose to take ACTION. This week’s action is: “I am a person of great faith. I believe all my talents and gifts come from my God.”
I have to admit I used to have a hard time with the fact that God was the reason for my success and not ME! The main reason I had this challenge is because I believed my hard work and my abilities were the reason my success happened. This has changed over time as I have deepened my relationship with God and started searching for the purpose of my life. I have found over the years the blessings that God pours into my life, my career, my business, my finances, my family and my health, that they all come about because of my God! At this weekend’s mass our priest spoke to us about our decisions to use our talents and gifts (God-given) to become and do what we want. Thoughts that enter our mind are God speaking to us. We should listen to God to find where we can best use all of the gifts and talents he has given. Please look up Ephesians: 1:3-14 and in this passage you will read that in him we were chosen, and destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to his will, so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ.
“I am a person of Great faith. I believe all my talents and gifts come from my God.” Thank God daily for the gifts and talents he has given you. Spend time with God in prayer, mediation and scripture reading. Remind yourself daily God gives us all that we have and all that we offer.
We are five months into 2012; I hope you are reaching your goals and plans you set for yourself.
