Accomplishment
“You can have what it is you want, or you can have your reasons for not having it.”—Werner Erhard
Don’t let fear of change or an upper limit problem keep you from reaching your dreams. Go for what you want and feel the joy of accomplishment and growth.
Difference
“I’ve never been impressed by the heroics of people convinced they are about to change the world. I’m more awed by those who struggle to make 1 small difference” Ellen Goodman.
I think all of us can make 1 small difference today. Smile not only with your lips, but with your whole face at everyone you meet. Try to bring out that same smile from others, so that they can touch joy in their day if only for 1 moment.
Inner Music
The impact that a single life can have upon a multitude, is something that each of us can make; share the knowledge that we learn and reemploy the money that we earn; we want a quality of life, not a lifestyle; and learn to copy how someone else does it until we grow to the point that we can express our own inner music.
Ends
“Just about the time you think you can make both ends meet, somebody moves the ends.” —Pansy Penner
Change
“The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” ~ Albert Einstein. If you don’t like your day or your life, change it. We need to stop letting fear direct our lives and step out and make the changes we know we need to make
Budget
“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.”—C.E. Hoover
Changes
Who we are and how we handle life’s changes impacts hundreds to thousands of people. I know that my mother and my mother in-law inspired me on how to handle cancer and death with dignity, grace, and unbelievable courage. How I handle changes in my life can in turn inspire others. Just being aware of this will help me to be an inspiration and not a warning of what not to do.
Beliefs
If we look at our internal belief system as a computer program that runs our life, we would realize that periodically we need to upgrade our beliefs in order to realize our true potential. We all want to live a full passionate life and make our dreams come true. What new features are your going to upgrade your beliefs with this year?
Ship
“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” —Abraham Lincoln
Instead of waiting at the airport for my ship to come in, every day I try making one baby step towards my dream by sending out ships. That way I really do have ships coming back in. What can you do today to send out a ship and start accomplishing your dreams?
Limits
“If you look up, there are no limits” – Japanese Proverb. Don’t set any limits on what you can accomplish this day, this week, this month or this year. Go for the Gold!
Lives
“It seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and I could not spare any more time for this one.” Henry David Thoreau
Yes
This year, I want to say no, more often, and not feel guilty, and say yes, more often, and not feel embarrassed.
