HABITS

A habit is a decision you make once that is carried out again and again.
You are making decisions all the time and those decisions directly affect the way your life unfolds. Your level of success and fulfillment depends on how often and how well those decisions line up with your dreams.

Certainly when you’re contemplating the big, noticeable decisions, you make sure they align with your values and purposes. But what about all the little momentary decisions you’re constantly making?

Those seemingly small decisions have great power because there are so many more of them. And they’re decisions you can often make without even thinking about them.

Those unthinking decisions are known as habits. 

Remember, a habit is a decision you make once that is carried out again and again.

Though each action done by habit may be small, the cumulative effect on your life can be enormous. The way to move your life in the direction you choose, is to make sure that all your many habits are working with you rather than against you.

Take the time and make the effort to align your habits with your goals and dreams. Improving those little habits can truly be the biggest decision you make.

New Day, New Month, New Opportunities...

Today I challenge you to open your mind and your heart to the newness of life that comes with each moment. There is always more to learn, experience, appreciate and enjoy, no matter how much you’ve already done.

In order to learn something new you must first accept that you do not know it. To fully understand another person, you must let go of your desire to make blind assumptions and judgments about that person.

If you would turn down the volume and intensity of your own chattering thoughts, you can hear the music of life. If you stop expecting to see what you’ve always seen before, new and wondrous beauty will appear in front of your eyes.

When you continue to perform a task the exact same way you’ve always done it, your effectiveness cannot improve very much. So today choose to be open to new ideas and techniques, and you can vastly accelerate your performance.

If you cynically think you’ve experienced it all, you’ll close yourself off from much of life’s richness. If you consider yourself smarter than everyone else, you’ll be supporting and advancing your own growing ignorance.

As today dawns, you have been blessed with a whole new world of possibilities.  Choose to allow yourself to know and acknowledge their newness, and bring the best of those possibilities to life.
