It's All About YOU....

There is great treasure in your authenticity. There are beautiful possibilities that spring from the genuine person you are.

Did you know that your most important job is to be you? There are contributions you can make, and gifts you have to give, that no one else can duplicate.

You have a perspective that is unique and valuable. Share the insights and energy that come from that perspective.

You have feelings and longings that flow from the core of who you are. Express those feelings and fulfill those longings in your own special way.

Remember that there is great treasure in your authenticity. There are beautiful possibilities that spring from the genuine person you are.

Through you, life experiences itself in a way that is unique and special. Live true to the best of who you are.

Let your own bright and distinct light shine. Use this opportunity to make a difference in a way that only you can do.

Everything is Connected....

Everything in your world is interconnected. When you create value in one place, that value casts its light in additional places as well.  Everything in your life has an influence and an interaction with everything else. When you make an improvement in one area of your life, watch many other areas begin to benefit.

Your positive thoughts and actions often have immediate and direct results. They also have indirect results that can continue far beyond the obvious.

A small kindness offered to just one person can end up benefiting countless others. The love you give will always, in ways that you may never even realize, come back to you.

Success and fulfillment do not occur in isolation. You’ll receive no great benefit from being positive about only a few things if you take a negative approach in other areas.

Today I challenge you to focus all your awareness and intention in a positive, fulfilling direction. Then, all the many connections will organize in such a way as to move you quickly forward.

Your Happiness....

Your happiness does not come from the moment, or the surroundings, or even from the people around you. It comes from you, and from your decision to feel its positive power.

It is simple and easy to be happy. The hard part is convincing yourself, and getting past your own resistance to happiness.

Don't assume that just because things are one way or another, there is no possibility of happiness. You know precisely how to be happy, how to create the feeling of happiness within yourself and how to express it within any context. You’ve done it many times in a whole lot of different situations.

Remember that your happiness does not come from the moment, or the surroundings, or even from the people around you. It comes from you, and from your decision to feel its positive power.

Today I challenge you to go ahead and skip right over all those reasons why you can’t be happy. Instead, think of the times when you have been happy and recall the strategy you’ve always used to bring that happiness to life.

This is your day, your moment.  Choose to activate that very same strategy right now. Choose to bring the positive power of your own happiness to this very moment.

It ALL matters....

Your attitude and your outlook on life truly matter. They have a powerful influence over what kind of difference you are making, in the big decisions and the small ones too.

Every little thing you do makes a difference. Each action, each word you speak, each thought you think will in some way change things for you and your world.

As you move through life, you are constantly leaving consequences in your wake. The nature of those consequences is what makes up the quality of your life.Even the smallest things make a difference. And those small things can quickly add up to a big influence.

Remember, it your your attitude and your outlook on life that truly matter. They really do have a powerful influence over what kind of difference you are making, in the big decisions and the small ones too.

Today I challenge you to see the world as a beautiful place, filled with positive possibilities. If you do, your actions, your thoughts, your consequences will take on the color of that positive perspective.

I want you to get your spirit that everything, every moment, every person, every stirring in your heart matters. Let yourself love and value life, and be overjoyed at the positive difference that each of your moments can make.  

Raise Your Expectations...

If you’re disappointed with the results you’re getting, it’s not because your expectations are too high. It’s because those expectations are not high enough to pull you forward.

It can be tempting to lower your expectations when things are not going your way. Yet the most realistic response is not to lower your expectations, but in fact to raise them higher.

It may seem that lowering your expectations so they’re more in line with your reality would protect you from disappointment. Yet lowering your expectations is sure to bring on even more disappointment.

Chose today to raise your expectations to the point where they become so meaningful and compelling that you cannot help but fulfill them. Choose those expectations that will drive you in each moment to do what must be done to reach them.

Remember today that when the going gets rough, the answer is not to give up on your dreams. The answer is to grab on to those dreams, and to put them front and center in your life.

Today is the day you begin to set your expectations high, connect solidly and consistently with them, and those expectations will give a positive, effective direction to your life. Choose today to expect the very best, and let those expectations drive you to live out your most cherished dreams.

Choose to Encourage...

It has been proven over and over that you cannot force other people to do the right thing. What you can do, and what has been found to be extremely effective, is to encourage them. 

If you offer threats, intimidation and low expectations, you’ll get resentment and poor performance. When you assume and expect the worst of others, you’re very likely to get it. 

I challenge you today to choose to expect the best, and to offer opportunities for those expectations to be met. 

People won’t always live up to your positive expectations, in fact most people would prefer to do what’s best for everyone concerned. Just about everyone responds positively to positive, genuine encouragement. The key it to let others know, clearly, precisely and in positive terms, what you expect, and let them know you have faith that they’ll meet those expectations.

Today I challenge you that instead of looking for ways to control, that you look for opportunities to support and encourage. Instead of conducting detached transactions, seek to build ongoing relationships.

If you offer the encouragement to do what is right, what is good, what is valuable and positive, you should not only expect but get the best.
