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…
Unreachable
Have you ever had a conversation with someone, but realize you aren’t getting through to them?
There’s a handful of reasons for this. Maybe they have an inflated ego, and really don’t care what anyone else has to say. Or perhaps there is something going on in their lives that has taken all their energy.
If it’s ego, stop trying and walk away. If it is a distraction, show compassion and listen…
Trying
Life is hard and life can be harsh. People seem to be caught up in selfishness to the point of being rude.
When you see someone trying to make it, offer some encouragement. Even a small amount of progress is growth. You never know how an encouraging word might propel someone to keep going…
Drifting
Are you leading or following? Most people simply drift through life, accepting whatever comes their way. Others set their minds to achieve their purpose, their true calling.
If you want to lead others, know where you are going. Why would I follow someone who did know where they are going?
Cleanup Crew
Everyone has their own set of personal challenges. It is not our responsibility to “fix” anyone but ourselves. Our job is to encourage others in their battles.
Do the work. It’s hard, but it’s worth it…
Oops!
Have you ever said something and instantly regretted it? If we are being honest, we all have. And we will again!
When you find yourself in this position, apologize immediately. Don’t make excuses such as, “I’m having a bad day.” The excuse just takes away from the apology. It doesn’t excuse bad behavior.
Try to take the high road. Always. But when you go low, make amends…
