Everything You Do Matters

"When you know that everything matters, that every move counts as much as any other, you will begin to live a life of permanent purpose.”~Jones

Do you realize that EVERYTHING you do matters? Do you really understand that? Most people go through life with the attitude that what they do has no bearing on anyone else...but they are wrong.  We are all connected whether you know it or not.  And if you think that there are coincidences, well, sorry, there are NO coincidences.  The people you meet and the things that you do are not by chance!

When you realize and think about everything you do, then you are living a life of permanent purpose. What is your purpose? Do you know?

Mother Teresa said "We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose, for great things." So I ask you again, what is your purpose? Are you doing great things or are you playing at 50%. Why? Play full out. Play BIG! Don't leave anything in the tank!

If you are not living your purpose, then the world is denied what you were to bring the world. If you don't bring your purpose, no one else will. So, find your purpose and then Live Your Purpose!

Life Is Too Short To Play Small

“Think big and you’ll live big. You’ll live big in happiness. You’ll live big in accomplishment. You’ll live big in income. Big in friends. Start now, right now, to discover how to make thinking make magic for you. Start out with this thought of the great philosopher Disraeli, “Life is too short to be small.”~David Schwartz

Are you thinking BIG? Why not? Oh sure, you say, "I think big." But do you really think big or do you think just big enough to stretch yourself a little? That's what most people do. They think that their thinking is big when it's really just a little more than they've done before.

Schwartz goes on to say this: “Here is the first step towards success. It’s a basic step. It can’t be avoided. Believe in yourself, believe you can succeed.” This is where most people fall down...they think big but really don't believe that they can do big things. Thinking is a start but if you don't have the belief, all the positive thinking in the world is not going to get you anywhere! Do you BELIEVE you can succeed or are you just hoping to succeed? Belief, beyond a shadow of a doubt is what is necessary, so I'll ask again, do you BELIEVE you can succeed? If not, you need to work on your belief.

So, how does your belief change the way you live your life? Do you not worry about new things and try them without a care because you know that you will succeed? If you can't do this, then your belief is a little shaky. You've heard this question before but, What could you do if you knew that you wouldn't fail? Belief gives you that kind of freedom.

Life is too short to play small! Think BIG. Believe BIG. Play BIG.

Based On Your Expectations?

“Our limitations and success will be based most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.”~Denis Waitley

What are your expectations for your future? Are they good, bad, indifferent? Too often in life we just go from event to event without ever thinking about what our expectations are and what they should be.  Wake up world!!

If our limitations and success are based on our expectations, we better get them right, right away. What are your expectations for today? Will it be a good day? Did you get out of bed on the wrong side, so is it going to be a bad day, or have you not given it any thought at all and are just operating on cruise control?  I think most of the world is on cruise control.  Wake up world!!

What are your expectations for the rest of the year? Are you expecting to make it a great year or are you expecting to just get by, because of the economy. I sure hope that you are expecting to have a great year, because then you will have one. By the same token, if you are just hoping to get by, then guess what...that's what you will get.  Wake up world!

Action:
Think about your expectations today...Go ahead, take 5 minutes to create them. Good, now go and live them.

Everything You Do MATTERS!

“When you know that everything matters, that every move counts as much as any other, you will begin to live a life of permanent purpose.”~Jones

Do you realize that EVERYTHING you do matters? Do you really understand that? Most people go through life with the attitude that what they do has no bearing on anyone else...but they are wrong. Everything you do matters to someone.  Do you know how you are impatcing other people?  Is it positive or is it negative.

When you realize and think about everything you do, then you are living a life of permanent purpose. What is your purpose? Do you know?  Sometimes we need to search for our purpose and sometimes it just comes to us, but either way, find your purpose.

Mother Teresa said "We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose." So I ask you again, what is your purpose?

If you are not living your purpose, then the world is denied what you were to bring the world. If you don't bring your purpose to the world, no one else will. So, find your purpose and then Live Your Purpose!

Someday NEVER Comes

"Tomorrow never comes and yesterday never comes back, so live today to it's fullest so that your yesterdays will be remembered with happiness and your tomorrows will be full of brightness and hope."

Are you living today to the fullest? Are you playing full out? Why not? What is holding you back? Tomorrow is promised to no one, so it could never come. Are you planning on doing something someday? Guess what? Someday NEVER comes.

Are you stuck living in the past? What benefit are you getting from doing that? There must be some benefit otherwise you would have left it behind a long time ago. To be able to live in the present, you have to let go of the past...especially the past that is holding you back.

Do you want your tomorrows to full of brightness and hope? Then live full out today!! It is the only way to create the future that you want. Here's a secret...I can see your future! How you ask? You future is being created by the things you do today and the thoughts that you have today. If you are wanting tomorrows that are full of brightness and hope, start today with brightness and hope

Live in the present. Live in the NOW. Be present NOW!

Live Out Of Your Imagination

"Live out of your imagination, not your history."~Stephen Covey

Are you living out of your history or your imagination? Think about that before you answer...Most of us are living out of our history, whether we realize it or not. We continue to do the same thing, over and over and expect different (better) results. Einstein described that as insanity, yet there we are, doing it again and again.

Sometimes we have a bad history and we continue to punish ourselves by living it over and over again. Here's the thing...at any moment, you can choose to have a different history! You don't have to live in the pain of your past history, because everything works together for you and while you might have experienced loss, there is a silver lining just waiting to be seen! But if you are looking at the door that closed, you will miss it.

What does it mean to "live out of your imagination?" Do you know? I think that it means that as we imagine things, we should strive for them, rather than just think about them and do nothing. Think of a time when you had a good idea...thought about it for a while...AND THEN FORGOT IT! The universe likes speed and you need to capitalize on that. Don't let fear hold you back from "Living out of your imagination..."

Learn, Live and Hope

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."~Albert Einstein

Did 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.  Most of the time we are regretting the past and worrying about the future.  Stop doing that NOW!  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!

Are You Living Your Life Backwards?

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."~ Margaret Young

Are you living your life backwards? Our society kind of pushes us to live it backwards doesn't it. We are constantly bombarded with ads that tell us that if we just buy this product, we will get what we want. Buy more products and you will be happy! Easy, right? NOT!! See, happiness doesn't come from things, it comes from who you are and what makes you tick.

First, you must be who you really are. Are you who you really are or are you playing a role that you created or someone gave you? WHO ARE YOU??? Really, who are you...down deep. Are you doing what you were created to do? Are you sure? Most people aren't, they are just playing a role, just existing...really, just taking up space.

Most people live their lives in a Have-Do-Be mentality when they need to be living from a Be-Do-Have mentality. Before you can Do and Have, you need to Be. Who are you???

Do You Live or Exist?

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, and that is all."~ Oscar Wilde

Are you just existing? With the recent tragedy in Tucson, now is a good time to take a look at your life...because most of us are just existing. Here's the part that most of us miss, tomorrow is promised to no one. Yet we live our lives like we will never die and that we have all the time in the world to do what we are here to do! Is that you? I hope not and if it is, now is the time to realize that you can change those thoughts. NOW!!

Walter Hagen said "You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way." Don't hurry. We have become a society that needs immediate actions and answers. Don't worry. We have become a society where stress and worry have become an epidemic. Start enjoying your life now. Stop complaining, bitching and moaning. "You are only here for a short time."

I Give You Permission

"We need to give ourselves permission to act out our dreams and visions, not look for more sensations, more phenomena, but live our strongest dreams -- even if it takes a lifetime."~ Vijali Hamilton

Have you given yourself permission to act out your dreams and visions? Really? Most people are waiting for someone else to give them permission. If you are waiting, here it is: I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO ACT OUT YOUR DREAMS!! See, that wasn't so hard, was it? You have been given permission.

Are you looking for more sensations and more phenomena? SQUIRREL!!!!
See, most of us are too busy adding on, looking for more and more when the best thing to do is take things that don't work away, instead of just adding to what we do. When what we have all works for us, it allows us to live our strongest dreams.

Action:
Give yourself permission or take the permission that I bequeath to you. Act out your dreams and visions. Take things away that don't work for you anymore.

Live NOW

“Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.” ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Are you getting ready to live? Stop it and LIVE NOW! Before you know it, time runs out...Tomorrow is promised to no one, yet we act like we have all the time in the world to do the things we really want to do...and we keep putting them off.

Don't let your time run out with music still in you. Do the things you have always wanted to do. Don't let circumstances dictate that you can't do what you want to do. It is your choice to either do it or stay "getting ready to live."
