We live in a broken, imperfect world. Good and bad things happen to us. Rather than asking why they happened, ask what can I learn from this. We learn more from bad experiences than the good…

Recognition
We live in a “look at me” culture. Being the center of attention has overtaken common sense in some cases. Do you remember the so-called “influencer” who videoed himself licking a public toilet bowl? He has no influence over me.
Focus on doing what’s right, being kind and compassionate without worrying about getting the attention. These characteristics never go out of style…
Comfortable
Many people talk about moving out of their comfort zone, but how many actually do it? That takes faith, wisdom, and discernment that you are on the right path.
If your motives are true, right and noble, you are going the right direction. And remember, growth only comes in the discomfort zone…
Quiet
There is something peaceful about early morning before the busyness of the day begins. We need quiet in our lives to clear our minds and our thoughts.
Quiet makes some people uncomfortable. They revel in the noise. I encourage you, if you are one of those people, learn to be comfortable in the quiet. The noise of the world will always be there waiting for you to return…
Ask!
Are you fulfilled in your life? If you answered yes, congratulations! But if your answer is no, you have the power to change your life.
A fulfilling life has nothing to do with money. It’s about service. Serving others changes you. There’s something magical and unexplainable about the feeling you get when you do something for someone who can never repay you.
If you aren’t getting all you want from life, ask for more. Then go do the work…
Say Yes!
Say no to everything and everyone who won’t get you where you want to go in your life. Say yes to everything and everyone that will advance your life…
The Other Side
We believe things. When I was a child, I believed in Santa Claus. In some ways I still believe Santa is real. I know gravity and eternal life are real, even though I can’t see them.
But what about our staunchly held opinions? What happens to our beliefs when facts show them to be wrong or misguided? To be open minded, it’s good and necessary to explore the other side of an issue. Be willing to let go of your beliefs if evidence is presented to the contrary…
Worry
Are you a worrier? Most things people worry about drains your energy, and keeps you from seeing things clearly.
Find peace and clarity in your life. Worrying about things that probably won’t happen will keep you from finding peace. Leave the worry for someone else. You have things to accomplish…
Satiety
Satiety means you have had enough. If someone you know is treating you rudely, or abusively, or any other wrong behavior, you will eventually hit your satiety point with them.
Conversely, when someone treats you well, with loving kindness, you want more.
Spend your time with those who enrich your life, not the ones who aren’t good for you…
Mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes. Every day. There’s even a series of books for “dummies” that are designed to keep us from making mistakes when we are learning something new!
Our past mistakes or the fear of making a mistake shouldn’t prevent us from trying and learning new things. They are part of the process.
When was the last time you tried something new? Why not make it today…
