Weeble Woobles

Push me if you like, but I'm 
going to bounce right back up.
"Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down."  

In the 1970's and '80's there was a commercial on TV and the slogan was, "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down." Weebles were an egg-shaped toy figure that would never fall down no matter how much you pushed or manipulated it. It would go to the left, go to the right, backwards, and forwards, but it wouldn't hit the floor. No matter how hard or how much you pushed it, it would bounce right back up. It weebled and woobled every which a way and it never fell down. They were popular toys back then and billions were probably sold of those little objects. People loved them. 

But what was the fascination?

Well, for starters, they had an attractive name: Weeble Wobbles.

Catchy. Humorous. True.

Secondly, back then and even today, people love the never-give-up, push through mentality. We love a trooper, a fighter, anything that symbolizes a type of toughness to weather the storms of life without throwing in the towel. It doesn't matter whether people see themselves as winners, people like to be a part of winning. That's why the fictional Batman and Superman characters have lasted for so long and the reason the Super Bowl is so huge.

People love winning and they love winners.

Those weebles wobbled, but they didn't fall down.

Isn't it amazing how such an inexpensive toy brought people so much joy? I'm thinking about buying at least one, myself. I think I will watch it for hours. I would think about a lot of things that would immediately come to mind. I can picture my thoughts already. I would see all the times I was knocked down and counted out, only to rise again. Yes, I would think of all my victories manifested through God. The only difference between me and that weebling Wobble is that it sometimes took awhile for me to bounce right back up from all the life events I experienced, but guess what?

I bounced back up. I'm standing now. I'm here. I'm helping people (I really believe that). I'm not going anywhere no time soon. I know my purpose. I know my mission. And I have my Lord and Savior, God, to thank for it all.

It was all worth it.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa
