Grow

Everyday, decide to expand.  Again and again.

How are you growing today?

Revenge

Revenge serves the darker side of us, and will likely illicit a small war that never ends.

Forgiveness builds our higher self, and relieves us of the burden.

Who have you been battling in your mind that you can forgive, and set yourself free?

Your Compass Heading

While you can’t change where you are in life overnight, you can change your direction.  

What direction are you headed?

Being Proud of You

It’s not what others say about you that matters most, but what you say about yourself.  Act in a way you can respect and be proud of.  

You’re the one who knows everything you do, and others can see you wearing it.  

Happiness is the key to success

Do you love what you are doing?

Key Conversations

Tension, bitterness, frustration, anger between you and someone else.  You know you need to talk with someone but you are afraid of how they will react, or you know you played a part and don’t want to have that pointed out because you don’t want to hear it and apologize.

But having that long overdue critical conversation with that person, to ask them how they feel, apologize if necessary, and earn their listening so you can tell them how you feel, can make a world of difference in your relationships and the burden you carry.

Who do you need to talk to?  When will you do it?  How about today?

How to have a boring life

Do the same thing over and over each day.  Watch other people do exciting things but never do any yourself.  Don’t stretch yourself or get out of your comfort zone.  Fear failure.  Go with the crowd.  Don’t speak out.  Try to be popular and liked by all.  Let other people tell you what to think.  Stay within 20 miles of your house nearly all the time.  Hang out with the same people all the time.  Don’t try anything new.

It’s all your choice, and a decision takes a second.

How much is too much?

In 1915 Federal spending was $715 million, or 2% of Gross Domestic Product. Today, it is $3.172 trillion, or 23.2% of GDP – more than ten times larger relative to the size of the economy.  In addition, citizens have hungry state and local budgets to pay for.

Is this what we want as Americans?  How far will it go?  How much is too much?

Future Intent

We should all be clear on where we are going.

Clarity on where you want to be in the future determines your actions today.

Your actions today determine where you’ll be when tomorrow comes.

Are you clear on where you are going?

Seed of change

Mass movements don’t start with the masses.  

They can start with….you.

What do you want to see changed?
