Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.– Rumi
What were you created to do?
What were you created to be?
You are, where your heart is. Be from your heart. Think from your heart. Follow your heart. Express your heart. Be heart-centered.
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my heart.

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.

He’s having the worst day of his life… over, and over… – The Ground Hog Day
Are you having a daily kind of a day? In other words are a lot of your days similar to one another? Why is that? For those who haven’t seen the movie, ‘The Ground Hog Day‘ was a comedy in which Bill Murray (as Phil) keeps waking up to the same day over and over again, the same events happen to him repeatedly, imagine that!
To each moment in time. Each moment in time is unique, never was, never will be again. What kind of perspective will help you get over the tyranny of a ‘Ground Hog Day’?
Daily Affirmation: Today I am ‘new’. I embrace each moment as a creative opportunity!

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
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? – Robert Schuller
From one standpoint you never do fail, even when you think you do. I call this the Holodeck Perspective. In Star Trek the Holodeck was a large room where the computer created a virtual reality based on your request. The simulation was so real that you could actually forget that you were living that simulation. Life is like that. In an ultimate way, we’re always safe, we feel the pain and the gain right now, but nothing we do on this planet can eternally harm us…
Once we remind ourselves that this is a Holodeck experience (even though our relationships and experiences are real); we need not be afraid of failure; we need not be afraid of anything or anyone!
Daily Affirmation: I am eternally safe today to pursue my dreams. I will handle all that life throws at me.

Adventure isn’t hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply… – John Amatt
We’re born seeking adventure. Adventure springs from our curious nature. We’re curious as babies because we want to poke our fingers into everything. Slowly we tend to lose our innocent curiosity and our spirit of adventure transforms itself into the desire to acquire. We want to acquire new things, relationships and experiences because we seek that which is new or that which is different, what we seek is adventure.
How can we stay interested in daily life? It can only be done if we view each day, our normally mundane day, as a brand new one! That’s when our ‘adventure POV’ can kick in, and we can enjoy life fully. We seek adventure, keep that in mind, as you pursue your day. How does your attitude, your way of looking, help you embrace adventure?
Daily Affirmation: I am adventure. Today I see life creatively, I enjoy every moment.
