Learning, Living and Hope

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."~Albert Einstein
"Once you choose hope, anything's possible."~Christopher Reeve

Do you learn from yesterday? What did you learn? See, most of the time, we are so busy that we don't take the time to evaluate what we have learned and what we haven't. In our go, go, go society, we hardly even take the time to stop and take a deep breath, much less take time to think about what we learned or didn't learn.

Einstein, one the smartest men ever to have lived says that we need to learn from our yesterdays! Take that to heart and spend 10 minutes each night thinking about your day and what you learned. He also says to live for today. I read that as be present where you are, always. Our minds, while wonderful and complex, challenge us to be present with all the other thoughts of things that need to get done and things that didn't get done and all the other stuff. Wherever you are...BE THERE!

Hope. Hope for tomorrow. Do you have hope? I know some people who don't believe in hope...and I feel sorry for them. They just seem to feel that they have to live with what life gave them and they can never change their life for the better. "Choose hope." Anything is possible when you choose hope. Anything is possible!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Live in the Moment

"If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day."~Thomas Dreier

Are you putting off enjoyment of life until you get......whatever? Why? Today is the only day that we have and tomorrow is promised to no one, yet we continue to put off our happiness until later. Why? Do you think that when you get that new car, then you will enjoy life more? Or that new house? Or all those other toys that we want? We Americans have been great at putting off happiness until we GET something. And then realizing that whatever it was, didn't bring us the happiness we wanted

Today should always be our most wonderful day! Live in the moment and be fully there. There's a great quote that says "Where ever you are, BE there." Most people are always looking back or looking ahead and are unable to be in the moment. If you are able to be completely in the moment, your life will change dramatically! Try it the next time you have a meeting. Be only there. Don't think about your next appointment, but be fully invested in the person you are meeting with. You'll be amazed at how much better the meeting will go and how you may be able to serve them in ways that you had no idea of...until you were present.

The Law of Authenticity says that "The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself." When you meet with people, give them that gift and your life will change for the better.

"If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day."
