EXPLORING HEAVEN OR HELL

Exploring Heaven and Hell

Your relationship will take you
to the heights of heaven and the depths of hell.

Both angels and devils live in your embrace
and move with you in your journey toward self-forgiveness.

No relationship is going to be free of struggle and turmoil.

In any relationship, there are inevitable ups and downs,
moments of connection and disconnection.

How you hold the moments of disconnection
is as important as how you celebrate the moments of connection.

Do you use the challenges of the relationship
to look more deeply at yourself?

Or do you run away and hide or threaten to leave the relationship
every time there are misunderstandings?

GET IT DONE SOONER

Get It Done Sooner

Do you want to get the most out of your effort? Then make that effort at the first minute rather than the last minute.

Is there something you’ve been putting off? The longer you procrastinate, the more difficult it will be.

Instead of spending most of your available time worrying that the job is not done, just go ahead and do it. Then you can spend the remaining time free of worry and full of satisfaction that the work is finished.

You’re going to have to do it sooner or later, so do it sooner. Give it your best by getting to it right away.

Use your time and energy to make progress, not to make excuses. Give yourself more good options by getting way out ahead of the deadline.

Want to make your work easier and less stressful? Then go ahead, right now, and get it done, long before you have to.

ENABLED BY FREEDOM

Enabled by Freedom

Freedom gives us the opportunity to succeed, and also to fail. Freedom allows us to make our own way in life, and insists that we accept responsibility for doing so.

Freedom and responsibility simply cannot exist apart from each other. You can remain free only by being fully responsible for your life, your actions, and your role in a free society.

Though millions have died for it, and most would choose freedom over any alternative, freedom can at times be frightening. It often imposes difficult decisions, and requires valiant effort to maintain.

Though freedom is the best course, it is seldom the easiest. Yet freedom is worth the effort, for it is a human catalyst that has no equal.

The best way to celebrate freedom is to use it wisely. The best way to protect freedom is to make sure as many people as possible benefit from it.

Freedom enables you to do great things. Today, and every day, take freedom up on the offer.
