Merry Christmas from the McClures

It's something we want but don't realize we always have it.

Control comes from our personal reactions to events that occur in our life. How we respond to a situation largely impacts how we feel and behave.

Situation + Reaction = Outcome

You have control over how you REACT to a SITUATION so that you can get the OUTCOME you want.

It is impossible to change some circumstances, to change the seasons, to change other people.

If only you could see how important you are to the people in your life.

And the people you meet.

Just how important you, your smile, your presence, can be to people you may never have dreamed of.

There is something about you.

You leave it at every interaction. Every meeting.

Own it.

During the times in life in which it feels like it's going a hundred miles an hour and you can't tell the days apart.

Amidst all the busyness.

Take in a deep breath and absorb the present moment. Reacquaint yourself with who you are.

Pause

Remind yourself that you are doing your best!
Allow yourself this moment to stretch and allow yourself to feel your muscles relax.

Pause.

Take in as much clean air into your lungs as possible and breathe.

You are capable of more than you know.

Your impact reaches further than you realize.

You were born with the ability to change another person's life.

You are making a difference.

Dis you hear?!! Today is National Love Your Pet Day.

Okay. That's about the easiest task of the day. All the snuggles and kisses to my Gunner.

Happy Friday to the man if my dreams.
💜
I watched throughout my childhood, and continued to adore my parents committment to eachother because of the beautiful ways they love each other unconditionally. I witness ways to manage marital stress and learn compromise.

Thank you Ryan for choosing me. Thank you for being everything I struggle to be for myself.
You are my favorite person.

My newest workout partner, shadow, and cuddle buddy.
He doesn't have a name yet, but he sure does have the cutest face.

No one is truly excluded from being a leader or a follower. Even the most introverted individual influences other people throughout their life.
🐛
It is the natural course of our life to FOLLOW others as we LEARN and LEAD others to do the fun things and adventurous things that we love so much.
🦋
Your opinions are valued.
What do you think is worth discussing.
People do watch you and learn from you.
⚫
How did your actions impact others?

REMEMBER
We all have good days and bad days.
We want to remember the good days and hope others forgive us for the bad days. If you desire to be remembered for the good then you have to forgive others for the bad.

So take today as an intended good day. And forgive yourself for ALL the yesterdays.

I am not good enough.

⬆️ this phrase we often tell ourselves to motivate ourselves to do something or to keep us from doing what we are afraid of.

I'm not smart enough.
I'm not young enough.
I'm not qualified.
I'm not pretty enough.

When we talk to ourselves like this we are subconsciously make the decision that we're going to fail before we even give ourselves a chance to succeed.

Just think about the possibility, what if you took on what you are afraid of failing to do? What if you passed the class? What if you crushed the workouts? What if the hairstyle looks great? What if you fall in love?

You can be successful. You are enough.
