E20 Ignorance and Stupidity

There are many things we do not know it life. Sometimes we will make decisions before we have all the facts. That refers to your comfort with risk. There are other times we will make a comment to another person - before we have all the facts. We may judge, assess, make comments to others about situations we know nothing about. For us, my daughter who is a Type 1 diabetic, to read or hear people make comments about eating a donut causing diabetes is infuriating. Type 1 diabetes is not caused by eating a donut. One school of thought believes it is caused by a virus attacking the pancreas. However, if one chooses to listen and understand that what they said was incorrect is simply ignorance. Yet those that receive the correct information and choose to make comments, judge or continue to ignore the facts are choosing stupidity. So if you ignore facts and remain entrenched in ignorance, I will label you as stupid. Chosen ignorance becomes stupidity. Don’t be stupid. Open your mind.

E19 Manifest More in Your Life

I want...
I hope...
I wish for...
I dream that...
Maybe one day...
Hopefully...
I want it so bad...
I will have it soon...
If only I could make it happen...
 
Sure. Go ahead and keep repeating those words. Wishing. Hoping. Wanting. Those words make us look to the future with longing and desire.  But those words... Those words are not very powerful. Not powerful like "I am" or "I made" or "I did".  
Are you sure? Because if you do. The Manifest It List 4-Step Guide is here.

E18 Follow YOUR Dream Not Theirs

In your life there will be naysayers. There will be those who put you down. There will be those who do not believe in your dreams. That group of people can fill your life and your mind if you let them. You have to stay your course. You were not put on this earth to fulfill someone else’s view of what you should do in your life. You were not created to fill your world with others beliefs about who you are, why you exist or what your purpose should be. You are created uniquely as you. Not one person in this world has a mind that works like yours. Not one neuropathway in your brain is replicated in anyone else’s brain. Have you forgotten how unique you really are? I’m here to remind you. Today. Right now. This moment.

E17 Grateful for Friends

Today is all about friendship! Let your friends know how important they are to you today! Let's spread more love around the world today!

E16 Own Your Beliefs

If you believe it, own it. Don't hide behind what others think. Stand up for your beliefs and your values! Be courageous!

E15 It May Seem Worthless to You

There are times when you simply cannot see the value that others have placed on an item. You don't have to see the value. You only need to respect that they hold value in whatever it is. 

E14 Ever Feel Like You Are Going It Alone

Do some days feel lonely? No one understands what your dream looks like? Feel let down or ridiculed for a vision of your future? You may be alone some days if you look at it from that lens. Or you maybe you need to rekindle the inspiration that started you on the path. It is Gratitude Friday and it is time for self-gratitude! Hug yourself!

E13 Go BIG or Go HOME

YOU make decisions every day about how you will live your life. Do you want to live big or is fear getting in the way? Are you living small because of influences around you? It is time to LIVE YOUR LIFE!

E12 Make the Ordinary into Extraordinary

You hold the power to make the ordinary extraordinary. It is not brought to you. It is not given to you. It is not created for you. You decide. You decide if a sunset is ordinary or extraordinary. You hold the power. Make your day extraordinary. www.barbarawichman.com

E11 Seatbelts and Signals

Have you noticed it too? Have you noticed the lack of some of the common courtesies around us? Some are simply just not nice, others are dangerous to others. One day. Just one day! Pay close attention to your own actions.
