Your good life

Your good life
Live the good life you have, as it comes. Don't be overly concerned about
losing it, or obsessed with making it into something it's not.
Enjoy the goodness of your existence in a universe filled with abundance.
Feel the sacred uniqueness of each moment and find joy in fulfilling the
best possibilities.
It is good to plan and to remember. Yet you are alive in this moment to
live the special beauty of this moment.
Your good life is not in some fondly remembered past or some hoped for
future. It is here and now.
Appreciate the good life you now have. It is truly beautiful, and the
miracle of you is that you can experience that beauty.
Your good life is here today, flowing gently through your experience. Now
is your moment to live it all.

The choice to lead

The choice to lead
True, effective leaders do not demand or proclaim or intimidate. They
encourage, inspire and lead by example.
True leaders become leaders not because of their titles, but because of
their work. Real leaders have no need to make promises, because it is
already obvious to everyone that they get results.
The world can always benefit from more good, effective leaders. You can
make the choice to be one.
Leadership is difficult and demanding, and often a thankless job. Yet
without honest, authentic, effective leadership, the world would devolve
into chaos.
The job of a real leader is not to tell people what to do. The job of a
real leader is to enable each and every person to be his or her absolute
best, and to point all those people in a positive direction.
You don't need anyone's permission to be a leader. All you have to do is to
genuinely and respectfully make a positive difference in the lives of
others.

Own your good fortune

Own your good fortune
Don't wish for a solution to your problems. Be the solution, with the way
you live each moment.
If you hold out hope that something will come along to make it all better,
you'll be disappointed. Life gets better when you choose to live it in a
positive, intentional, responsible and fulfilling way.
Good fortune is not something that happens to you. Rather, it is the way
you can choose to be, no matter what happens.
If your happiness is dependent on factors beyond your control, you'll never
be secure enough in it to enjoy it. If you have to beg for favors, those
favors will be of little use to you.
Good fortune is yours when you take full and complete ownership of it.
Fulfillment is yours when you make the effort and commitment to live it
each day.
Embrace total responsibility, and own your good fortune. All is well
because you choose to make it so.

LIVE LIKE IT MATTERS

Live like it matters
If you've done poorly, you can now do better. If you've done well, you can
now do even better than that.
Every moment is an opportunity for improvement. Every day is your chance to
make good and meaningful use of your wealth of experience.
There is a beauty within you that longs to be expressed more fully and more
richly than ever before. No matter what has already happened, that beauty
is more compelling than ever, and now is when you can bring it to life.
Look out at the ocean, look up at the night sky, or listen to the sounds of
nature during a walk through the woods. Feel your very real connection with
all that is, and feel the immense positive possibilities for true
fulfillment.
This is not a time to get caught up in trivialities. This is your moment to
experience the wonder of existence in a magnificent and abundant universe.
Live like it matters, because it very much does matter. All of life is
depending on you to live with everything you have, and now is your time to
do so.

VOTE!!!

Greetings everyone,

Today marks a day of history being made once again. It does not matter who
you vote for just as long as you use your right to vote. Not voting is your
way of being quiet so break the silence on this day on Tuesday, November 6,
2012 and make that CHANGE to VOTE. The country needs you just as much as
you need this country.

Have an amazing day!!!

Making your choice

Making your choice
You have the power to choose your attitude, your perspective, your
direction, your responses, your expectations, your actions and so much
more. Add it all together, and you have the power to choose your life.
It's a waste of your time and energy to blame and complain when you can be
doing something much more positive and powerful. You can be choosing to
make real headway.
You have the power to choose, so do it. Figure out what you really, truly
want from this day, from this circumstance, from this life, and go for it.
Make your choice, and then make the commitment to make it happen. Make your
choice, and then make all the other choices along the way that will bring
it about.
Take a positive, active role in your life. Make peace with what is, with
what you have, and then make your choice of what to do with it all.
Life is what you most consistently and passionately choose for it to be,
and that most definitely includes the choices you make in this moment.
Spend each moment making the best, most authentic choices, and you'll spend
your days living a rich and fulfilling life.

Let each moment come

Let each moment come
Allow time to pass and as it does, make good use of it. Allow life to
unfold and as it does, treasure the richness of each moment.
Accept and be thankful for what has been, and for what is now. Fully and
lovingly utilize the opportunity of this day you now have.
When the wind is at your back, use the occasion to make rapid progress.
When the wind is in your face, take the opportunity to grow stronger.
Learn from those who share your opinions. And learn even more from those
who disagree with you.
Embrace life as it comes to you. In the grand occasions and in the small
moments, delight in the beauty and live the possibilities.
Let each moment come in a steady, empowering procession. And add your
special joy to everyone.
