It doesn’t get any better than this.

 

No sunnier.

No richer.

No wiser.

No easier.

 

Unless you expect it to, that is.

Then the sky’s the limit, so dream big.

Spark Notes

You always get what you expect. It simply takes practice to notice because it so rarely looks the way you imagined.

Spark Notes

Be careful what you wish for. Because wishing doesn’t work.

Believe and expect instead.

Believe it’s all possible, expect it to happen and act accordingly.

Wishing is for wimps.

Spark Notes

Have you ever considered your inaction as wisdom worth listening to?

Maybe the timing isn’t right, the stage needs to be set or the other players have yet to learn their lines and your hesitancy is an unconscious reaction to that.

So, if you find yourself inexplicably not taking action, maybe you should slow down even more, listen to what’s not being said and give yourself credit for being strategically still.

What do you want?

It’s not a simple question, is it?

Once you have a thoughtful answer, do you know what I suggest?

Think bigger!

Whatever you came up with, save room for it to be even better.

Imagine that!

Spark Notes

Consider everything progress: forward, backward or even running in place.

Whatever the direction, movement provides new information and all learning is progress.

Spark Notes

One of the many things I find so special about you is how quick you are to be generous,

to cheer others on,

and to find the best in everyone.

Oops, I forgot I was going to stop at only one. It’s so easy to get carried away with you.

 

You’re really somethin’.

Do you ever find yourself saying, “It’s Monday, so…

I have to go to work,

I have to pick up my kids after school or

I have to do the grocery shopping?”

(You get the drift. Insert your own personal examples here.)

 

Then try replacing “I have to” with

“I choose to go to work” or

“I get to pick up my kids after school” or even better yet,

“I’m so fortunate to be able to do the grocery shopping”

and see what a difference it makes in your day.

 

Lucky, lucky you.

Some say life is difficult or impossible.

When you laugh, it’s neither.

Prove it!

Spark Notes

Sometimes you have to slow down to move forward, believe it before you see it, and pretend you have it before it becomes real.

Doesn’t that sound easier than pushing a big rock uphill or beating your head against a wall?

Try it.
