You Matter

Leave a comment

Size matters not. – Master Yoda

yoda a role model is

Yoda the Jedi Master in the Star Wars series of movies is a diminutive fellow who understands and channels the good side of the ‘force’. In the movie he’s a prime example of the fact that size does not matter! Neither does wealth, influence or stature, in an ultimate sense.

what matters

You do.

As do others.

Eternally…

Ponder that…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM focused on people and relationships.

If Only …

If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world. – Mercedes Lackey

your big ones

The 3 big regrets most people have (according to a study referenced in a book I was listening to this morning called ‘Flip’) are:

  1. Education: Not being able to get the experience and training you really wanted.
  2. Business opportunities: Not grabbing and implementing business ideas as they appeared.
  3. Time with family: Not loving enough and not spending time with loved ones enough.

Regret has to do with missed opportunities and action not taken. What are your big ones?

today

What are you not doing, not being, not pursuing and not living, today, that will cause you to say ‘if only’ in the future? How do you handle regrets and disappointments today? Are you happy?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM action!

We are the ones we have been waiting for. – Hopi Prophecy

we are it

When Gandhi said ‘we must be the change we want to see in the world’ he was right of course. It’s either us or no one else. We have to be the change we so desperately want in the world.

let’s do it

  • If we want peace we must be peaceful first.
  • If we want less greed, we must first be satisfied.
  • If we want more love, we must excel in loving others and in having satisfying relationships.
  • If we want less frustration and greater fulfillment in life, we must search for the answers.

Life won’t just happen to us. We must stir and make things happen.

Daily Affirmation: Today I move, I act.

Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should do, they never get around to what they want to do. – Kathleen Winsor

being

Let’s reflect on what’s most important to us. We can do that via Stillness or via an ‘Active’ Journaling technique. A combination of both is more effective!

doing

Next spend 30 to 60 minutes daily working on one or more goals that result from the above exercise. Break the goals down into manageable tasks. Complete 3 HITs daily. HITs = your High Impact Tasks. These are tasks from your task list which give you the biggest bang for your time and effort. Complete 3 HITs daily towards your goals and see how much you achieve and how good you feel!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM focused on that which is more important.

Your Greatest Accomplishment

Leave a comment

The greatest accomplishment began as a decision once made. – Michael Rawls

visualize the big goal

But don’t be overwhelmed by it. Know that you’ve accomplished an assortment of goals in the past; you’ll do better this time!

So go ahead and make that decision. The one to start towards your goal, today! Notify the Universe that you intend to carry through, that you mean it, that nothing will hold you back and that you expect things to work out. The Universe listens kindly and smiles…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the decision engine! What I decide, happens!

What Will You Risk?

Leave a comment

And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more. – Erica Jong

risk what?

Not talking about commercial or business risk here. I’m thinking about taking a chance when:

  • We love a dear one and we hesitate to express our love.
  • We could help someone but don’t because we’re shy.
  • We could go that extra mile but don’t because we like the beaten path.

comfort zone

Getting out of our comfort zone is taking a risk. There’s not much growth staying inside this warm and routine place. How can we motivate ourselves to venture out more often? How can we be less afraid? Journal that.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM bold, I step out, into Life!

Can You See It?

Leave a comment

If you can’t see it, before you see it, you’ll never see it. – Dr. Jack Graham

conception

An idea before it takes shape and solidifies into reality, must in some form have been conceived, first. From conception to rich visualization is the path that should be traversed before the idea can materialize. Action comes next.

visualization

The more accurately we can visualize the concept, what it looks like, feels  like, the experience it provides, the audience it touches, the effect it produces, the better the chances of it showing up in our lives! And that’s the idea.

Daily Affirmation: Today I visualize and create my future.
