Take Each Day As It Comes

People lose their health to make money;

Then lose their money to restore their health.


By thinking anxiously about the future,

They forget their present such that

They live neither for the present nor the future.


They live as if they will never die,

And they die as if they have never lived.


Take each day as it comes,

 and live each day to the fullest.

 

Working the possibilities

You don't get what you merely wish for. You get what you live

For and what you work for.



The life you experience does not depend on what happens to

Come your way. The life you experience is based on how you

Choose to live it.



The priorities that matter in your life are not the ones you

Just talk about. Your true priorities, the ones that

Determine which way your life proceeds, are the ones you

Consistently act on.



You have the opportunity right now, today, to bring great

Quantities of richness and fulfillment into your life. Yet

That richness will not come from what you wish for, or what

You talk about, or what you plan to do someday.



That richness will come from what you actually do with the

Time and the energy and the resources you have available to

You. That richness will come from working the possibilities

That are uniquely yours.



Skip right on past the wishing for and talking about and

Planning to stage. Get right to work on your best

Possibilities, and experience the unmatched joy of bringing

Them fully to life.

 

Love Yourself 100%

There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:


This is me damn it! 

I look the way I look, think the way I think,

feel the way I feel, love the way I love! 


I am a whole complex package. 

Take me. . . or leave me.


Accept me--or walk away! 

Do not try to make me feel like less of a person,

just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be

and don't try to change me to fit your mold. 


If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.


When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%,

good and bad.. you will be amazed at the opportunities

that life presents you.

WORRY

Is there a magic cut off period when offspring

become accountable for their own

Actions?


Is there a wonderful moment when

Parents can become detached spectators in

the lives of their children and shrug,

"It's their life," and feel nothing?


When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital

Corridor waiting for doctors to put a few

Stitches in my son's head. I asked, "When do

You stop worrying?"



The nurse said,

"When they get out of the accident stage."

My Mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.


When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little

Chair in a classroom and heard how one of my

Children talked incessantly, disrupted the class,

And was headed for a career making License plates.


As if to read my mind, a teacher said,

 "Don't worry, they all go through this stage

and then you can sit back, relax and Enjoy them.


" My mother just smiled

Faintly and said nothing.


When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime

Waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come

Home, the front door to open.

A friend said, "They're trying to find themselves.

Don't worry, In a few years, you can stop worrying.

They'll be Adults."


My mother just smiled faintly

And said nothing.


By the time I was 50, I was sick & tired of being

Vulnerable. I was still worrying over my Children,

but there was a new wrinkle.

There Was nothing I could do about it.


My Mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.


I Continued to anguish over their failures, be

Tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in

Their disappointments.


My friends said that when my kids got married I

Could stop worrying and lead my own


I wanted to believe that, but I was

Haunted by my mother's warm smile and her

Occasional, "You look pale. Are you all right?


Call me the minute you get home.

Are You depressed about something?"

Can it be that parents are sentenced to a

Life time of worry? Is concern for one another


Handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of

Human frailties and the fears of the Unknown?


Is concern a curse or is it a virtue

that elevates us to the highest form of life?


One of my children became quite irritable

recently, saying to me, "Where were you?

I've been calling for 3 days, and no one answered

I was worried."


I smiled a warm smile.


The torch has been passed.

Make Your Choices Real

 choice is not really a choice, until you act upon it.



If you decide to act on your best beliefs, then,

dont follow through “ you are buying into indecision.



Indecision and procrastination are what we do to

avoid the responsibility of putting our choices into action.

If you find yourself always in a state of indecision,

perhaps you are trying to do too much and need to

break things down into smaller digestible steps.      


Perhaps your decision is not in line with your

values or some important aspect of your life.

You may need to re-evaluate what youre trying to do.



Remember that you will never know if a decision is right

or wrong until its acted upon.

Every important decision involves risk and sometimes trade-offs.

If you have a decision to make, make it today.

And, more importantly, act on it today.

Align your habits

You are making decisions all the time and those decisions

Directly affect the way your life unfolds. Your level of

Success and fulfilment depends on how often and how well

Those decisions line up with your dreams.


Certainly when you're contemplating the big, noticeable

Decisions, you make sure they align with your values and

Purposes. But what about all the little momentary decisions

You're constantly making?


Those seemingly small decisions have great power because

There are so many more of them. And they're decisions you

Can often make without even thinking about them.


Those unthinking decisions are known as habits. A habit is a

Decision you make once that is carried out again and again.


Though each action done by habit may be small, the

Cumulative effect on your life can be enormous. The way to

Move your life in the direction you choose, is to make sure

That all your many habits are working with you rather than

Against you.


Take the time and make the effort to align your habits with

Your goals and dreams. Improving those little habits can

Truly be the biggest decision you make.
