THE POWER TO CHOOSE WHO YOU ARE

In every moment of life, you have the power to choose who you are and who you are becoming. This happens primarily in small ways...the conversations you hold; the way you honor your commitments; the practice of telling the truth, and being present with yourself; and the mindfulness and caring that you bring into your daily actions and activities. It is not too late to choose to become the person you always wanted to look up to and admire.

Look at the people who are in your life. Do they cause you to examine yourself, your life, and your vision for yourself? Are you being stretched to go beyond what is safe, familiar, and comfortable...and do something BOLD with your life? Or are they pulling you back to the self that you left a long time ago? You build a GREAT life by the choices you make and the chances you are willing to take! Commit to the GREATNESS within you!

WASH IT AWAY

Wash It Away

Remember how it feels to feel great? Your own intention enables you to feel that way right now, and anytime.

Think of those times when you’ve had a burst of creativity. Today can be one of those times.

Have layer upon layer of negativity hidden your best self from your awareness? Let those layers fall away, and bring your highest values to the surface once again.

Though you live in a world ripe with challenge and confusion, a part of you exists beyond it, and can always rise above it. Connect with that part and feel the true joy of living.

Pay attention to everything going on around you, and stay engaged with the world. All the time, keep in touch with your ability to bring forth joy and fulfillment.

At any moment, in any circumstance, your joyful, positive presence can improve your world. Instead of giving in to the negativity, wash it away with the way you are.

AHEAD THE DEADLINES

Ahead of the Deadlines

You have the opportunity right now to avoid having to rush to get the job done at the last minute. Go ahead and do it now.

You can eliminate long stretches of resentful, hurried, ineffective efforts from your life. Simply get your work done sooner rather than later.

You can earn yourself time to think, to relax, to be free of deadlines. Just get out far ahead of those deadlines.

It’s better being in control of your time than to be striving to catch up with your obligations. Begin taking care of those obligations as soon as you have them and get them quickly out of the way.

This is your chance to make much more time in your life for doing what you want to do. The sooner you finish what you have to do, the more of that priceless, flexible time you’ll have.

Give your time first to what you have to do. You’ll be giving yourself a whole lot more quality moments to do whatever you love to do.
