Practice Your Awesome (post by Kirk Weisler)

Posted on November 5, 2013 by mzsunflower

The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better. -Barbara Pletcher

If you make it work, great. If you make it better, COOL! If you make them smile, AWESOME!

Today, I will be practicing my Awesome Skills! Hey, where is my cape? ( I think my wife is wearing it….again!)

OK , I don’t have a cape and I am not Awesome yet…but I do have blue fur and over Halloween I was practicing my Awesome Dad skills by being the less Awesome half of the Monster Inc BOO, and Kitty (Sully) costume.

Emotional Baby Is Moved To Tears By Mom’s Singing

Posted on October 30, 2013 by mzsunflower

This 10-month-old’s impassioned response to her mother’s private performance of “My Heart Can’t Tell You No” gives a whole new (beautiful) meaning to the word “cry-baby.”

The little one was identified by Canada’s TVA as Mary Lynne Leroux. Mom, Amanda, told TVA that she’s too shy to sing in public — but clearly, she’s found an appreciative audience at home.

Our hearts can’t tell YOU no, kid. http://www.huffingtonpost.com

Creating Confidence and Life After Mistakes (post by Kirk Weisler)

Posted on October 29, 2013 by mzsunflower

“I had the chance to make every possible mistake and figure out a way to recover from it. Once you realize there is life after mistakes, you gain a self-confidence that never goes away.” ― Bob Schieffer

“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” ― L.M. Montgomery

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.” Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

I do not think that I could live under the gaze of someone who only saw my past and not my potential. Someone who was constantly reminding me of my failings, imperfections and weaknesses. That kind of association would have both immediate and long-term consequences on my emotional and physical well-being. With that said… I must make absolutely sure that I am not that person in the life of anyone else. I don’t want to kill confidence, I want to create it. ~ Kirk Weisler
