Life in Small Bites

“The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder; a waif, a nothing, a no-man. Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.” – Thomas Carlyle

“God gave you gifts. You must give them to the world!!!”

Dig the well before you are thirsty.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.  Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot. Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…it’s about learning how to dance in the rain. Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain.

When in doubt, show up early. Think less. Feel more. Ask once. Give thanks often. Expect the best. Appreciate everything. Never give up. Make it fun. Lead. Invent. Regroup. Wink. Chill. Smile. And live as if your success was inevitable, and so it shall be.

Sometimes the best helping hand you can get is a good, firm push.  “The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better.”

You can have anything you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want.

“Your life is right now! It’s not later! It’s not in that time of retirement. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the raise. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it’s not ever going to get better than right now–until it gets better right now!”

We may not know the full truth until we are in the ‘beyond’ – yet we have a choice in the ‘here & now’.  We can complain and blame about the negative events and obstacles we experience or we can imagine and source the new possibilities presented.  One choice leads to increasing despair and decreasing resourcefulness.  The other opens doors – and certainly feels a lot better.

Well, this statement provokes some thought. The Lion from Oz certainly
comes to mind. Having more guts or the courage to do things is always
going to be a help. Being courageous means facing fear head on and not
to be afraid to move further. Practice these affirmations daily and
you’re on your way to manifesting strength and courage!
