The only gift is a portion of thyself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
We’re lost in a material fog. One which focuses mostly on our needs. Also one which keeps us inside our heads.
Let’s get out of our heads, drop into our hearts and live through that unfathomable gateway! Now let us put our attention on others. What do they truly need? A true need can only be met by another person, not a thing. Let us be that person to others, let us give of our own selves.
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the gift, I listen and I serve.

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road. – Henry Ward Beecher
We must have our own unique life philosophies to handle life’s jolts. The best one is Rule #6. Don’t take yourself or life too seriously, figure out a way to lighten up and enjoy yourself. How can you remind yourself of Rule #6, often?
Joy can only come from a light-hearted approach to life. It can only come when life and its circumstances are composed of fun and frolic. How do you seek joy in your life?
Daily Affirmation: Today I am joy. I am fun itself. I have a thick skin!

Always Looking Up by Michael J. Fox
The world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going. – Napoleon Hill
Knowing who you are and where you’re going is a very powerful statement to the Universe. A strong will, a steady mind and a firm decision creates waves and parts the way. Serendipity springs into action and you start to sail into propitious situations. Even acting the part works, try it!
Know that in the eternal scheme of things there’s no worldly decision you can make that is wrong. If it’s ‘wrong’ according to you and others; then you’ll learn from that action. If it’s ‘right’ then you’ll reap its benefits. So don’t hesitate, decide and act…
Daily Affirmation: Today I am decisive. I will move to create momentum!
Recommendation: Success: Through a Positive Mental Attitude by Napolean Hill
Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy. – Abraham Joshua Heschel
We’re blessed because we live. Compare your lot, whenever in doubt or whenever you’re sulking. In most comparisons you’ll come up better. Even if you don’t, remind yourself, ‘this too shall pass’, look forward with positive expectation instead.
Life is a gift, we must enjoy it. We must be happy. Which means we can’t lose any moments in life being sad, feeling hurt or not talking to someone. Rejoice in who and what you are, in what you have and in what you’ll yet be!
Daily Affirmation: I am Life. I rejoice in all that I am and have, thank you!
