Why Not Now?

March 27, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

Why Not Now?

My brain has been on this learning curve
or has it been my mindset and my faith.
I use to ask why?
Why should I do X or Y or Z
Why should I grow?
Why should I learn?
Why should I work so hard?
Why should I believe in a Higher Power?
Then I was challenged to ask why not?
Why not try something?
Why not step out in faith?
Why not take risks in my life?
Why not believe in my dreams?
Why not believe I can be of service to others?
Why not?
Why not me?
Why not believe that the Ultimate can use me?
Why not believe that I can make a difference?
Why not believe that I can be of service?
And then someone made me ask why not now?
Why not work towards my dreams now?
Why not believe I can make a difference now?
Why not believe that now is my moment to inspire others?
Why not now?

Unrewarded Motivation

January 13, 2020 Sharon Jacobson

Different things motivate
different people.
Some of us want things
tangible rewards
and some of us want time
with those we love and
deeper relationships.
But what motivates us
when we will never see
the reward
or not be told of how
we rewarded others.

We know how to act when
we know what to expect,
what we will receive,
how we will be recognized, or
how we will be rewarded.
However, what motivates us
when we release those expectations.
When we act knowing we may not be
recognized or rewarded.

Unrewarded motivations are about us
being present in the experience
of what we are doing,
of what we are creating, and
of what we are experiencing
in the process.
We may never know the rewards of
our actions
but we can find peace and joy
in knowing that the fruits
of our work
are touching others.

Use it!

October 7, 2014 Sharon Jacobson

In this month’s newsletter, I gave us a few things about self-worth to consider. I asked us to think about whether we knew God loved us just as we are. I suggested we think about whether we see life challenges as confining or empowering. I encouraged us to remember to periodically empty out the emotional, mental, and spiritual clutter and keep ourselves from becoming a “dumpster.” Finally, I challenged us to remember that we are of value to ourselves, others, and our community.

Sometimes it may feel like your life is not where you would like it to be. Most of us, myself included, have those moments. It is then I remember the words of Ram Dass who said, “Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!” Life is a veritable toolbox to help you achieve whatever you desire to achieve in your life. Use it!

The Little Engine, Dorothy, and Buried Treasure

October 4, 2011 Sharon Jacobson

My guess is that most of you remember the story of the Little Engine That Could. In case you do not, or just need to have one of those inner 5-year-old moments, it goes like this. Chug, Chug, Chug, Puff, Puff, Puff, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong. The little train rumbled over the tracks. She was a happy little train, for she had a jolly load to carry. Her cars were filled full of good things for boys and girls. The little train was carrying all these wonderful things to the good little boys and girls on the other side of the mountain. She puffed along merrily. Then all of a sudden, she stopped with a jerk. She simply could not go another inch. She tried and she tried, but her wheels would not turn. What were all those good little boys and girls on the other side of the mountain going to do?
