Beyond concern for self

Either you can be focused and absorbed and centered on yourself, or you can achieve truly great things. There is no way to do both. For self absorption is nothing other than a blocking out of all the other more positive and more magnificent possibilities. When it's all about you, it's all very small and limited.

What if?

It's common to become upset and ineffective when things go wrong. What if you became more determined, more positive, and more focused instead?

It's easy to be insulted and defensive when another person criticizes you. What if, instead, you listened with an open mind and made an effort to understand the person's point?

It's natural to give up after the first few attempts fail to bring the desired results. What if you persisted as long as necessary?

It's convenient to make quick judgments about people, ideas and circumstances based on initial appearances. What if, instead, you took the time to look more deeply?

It's comfortable to go through each day making the same old assumptions, not venturing very far from what you already know. What if, instead, you truly opened yourself to the vast, vibrant richness of life?

You know how life can be, living the way you've always lived. What if you knew it could be even better, and used each moment to make it so?

Be kind to yourself

We are harder on ourselves than we are on anyone else. How many times have you looked in the mirror and said “Oh I’m so fat; Oh I have so many wrinkles” or any of the other negative comments? How many times have you called yourself “Stupid” or said “I’ll never be able to do that”?

You wouldn’t say these things to your friends or even a stranger; why should you say them to yourself? Your subconscious starts to believe them after a while. You need to replace negative thoughts of yourself with positive thoughts and soon your subconscious will believe them. Look in the mirror and say kind things and smile at yourself. See how good that makes you feel. Do it every day and see what a difference it makes.

The way We Affect Others

We may not always realize
that everything we do,
affects not only our lives,
but touches others too.

A single happy smile
can always brighten up the day,
for anyone who happens
to be passing by your way.

And a little bit of thoughtfulness
that shows someone you care,
creates a ray of sunshine
for both of you to share.

Yes, every time you offer
someone a helping hand,
every time you show a friend
you understand.

Every time you have a kind
and gentle word to give,
you help someone to find beauty
in this precious life we live.

For happiness brings happiness
and loving ways bring love,
and giving is the treasure,
that contentment is made of.

Think Ahead, Work Ahead, Be Ahead

What will tomorrow be like? Well, that's a very good question. The answer depends primarily on what you do today. Tomorrow will be like... whatever you plan and work for it to be. The same goes for next week, next month, next year, and so on.

If you don't really have a plan, then tomorrow will be left to chance. You'll drift along with whatever comes by. There's nothing wrong with that, if you like drifting. But if you want more direction, if you have something you'd like to do, or be, or have tomorrow, then you need to start planning and working for it today.

Here's something to remember -- the further ahead you plan, the more control you have. Take, for example, flying on a commercial airline. If you show up at the airport, with no ticket, 30 minutes before the flight is leaving, you'll be lucky just to get a seat, and you'll pay the airline's highest fare. If, however, you plan your trip 3 months in advance, you get your choice of seat, you can often even choose your in-flight meal, and you can probably get a substantial discount on the fare.

Why do airlines reward you for planning ahead? Because it enables them to plan ahead and to allocate their resources in the most efficient and effective manner. Why should you plan ahead in all areas of your life? Same reason -- so you can make the very most of what you have.

Think ahead. What will be happening in 3 months, 6 months, 2 years? You'll have to deal with the details eventually, so why not start dealing with them now? Planning ahead always gives you more options, plus you'll get more for the money or effort involved.

What can you do today to make tomorrow go more smoothly? What can you do today to make next week more productive? How can you act today to make your life better one month from now? Or 6 months from now? Or 5 years? Think about it. And get started today, right now, on a better tomorrow.
