JOY
- Pleasure is energy reciprocate: what you put out comes back. Your base level of pleasure is determined by how you view your whole life.
- If your life ended tomorrow, what would you regret not doing? If this were the last day of your life, would you spend it the way you’re spending today?
- Reading opens you up. It exposes you and gives you access to anything your mind can hold. It gives you the ability to climb higher ground. And keep climbing.
- Remain connected to the world of spirit. The number-one spiritual practice is trying to live in the present moment…to resist projecting into the future, or lamenting past mistakes…to feel the real power of now. That, my friends, is the true secret to a joyful life.
RESILIENCE
- Healing the wounds of the past is one of the biggest and most worthwhile challenges of life.
- We are each responsible for our own life.
- If you’re holding anyone else accountable for your happiness, you’re wasting your time. You must be fearless enough to give yourself the love you didn’t receive.
- When faced with a difficult decision ask yourself: “What would I do if I weren’t afraid of making a mistake, feeling rejected, looking foolish, or being alone?”
- When life gets difficult, ask yourself: “What is this here to teach me?”
- There’s no question that changing the way you think about your situation is the key to improving it.
- Learning to appreciate your lessons, mistakes, and setbacks as stepping stones to the future is a clear sign you’re moving in the right direction.
CONNECTION
- Yearning to feel heard, needed, and important, is so strong in all of us that we seek that validation in whatever form we can get.
- Offer three of the most important words any of us can ever receive: “I hear you”
- The only thing that will have any lasting value is whether we’ve loved others and whether they’ve loved us.
GRATITUDE
- Gratitude is the quickest, easiest, and most powerful way to effect change in your life.
- What you focus on, expands. When you focus on goodness in your life, you create more of it.
- “95% of the beliefs we have stored in our minds are nothing but lies, and we suffer because we believe all these lies.” – Don Miguel – The Four Agreements
POSSIBLITY
- Whatever you fear most has no power, it is your fear that has the power. The thing itself cannot touch you. But your fear can rob you of your life.
- “So long as you’re still worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself.” – Neale Donald Walsch
- The true measure of your courage is not whether you reach your goal, it’s whether you decide to get back on your feet no matter how many times you’ve failed.
- Whatever your situation is right now, you have played a major role in creating it.
- As yourself: “How have my intentions produced the experiences I’m having now? And if I change my intentions, what different consequences will I create?
- You can’t accomplish anything worthwhile if you inhibit yourself. If life teaches you nothing else, know this: When you get the chance, go for it.
- My biggest mistake in life have all stemmed from giving my power to someone else – believing that the love others had to offer was more important than the love I had to give to myself
AWE
- Be present. Open your eyes and heart and you’ll see the big miracles that are happening right in front of us, at every month, with every breath.
- The hardest experiences are often the ones that each us the most. Ask yourself: What is this really about, and what am I supposed to learn from it?
- There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: “One With Life”. Being one with life is being one with Now. Spend extra time with your kids.
CLARITY
- If you allow yourself to be depleted to the point where your emotional and spiritual tank is empty and you’re running on fumes of habit, everyone loses.
- If you don’t put your oxygen mask first, you won’t be able to save anyone else.
- Tune into your gut – if somethings not right here: don’t move, don’t answer, and don’t rush forward. Things that you should do will be a clear “Yes!”
- Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.
POWER
- Freedom is about having a choice.
- Often when we make negative statements about others behind their backs, it’s because we want to feel powerful and that’s usually because in some way we feel powerless, unworthy, not courageous enough to be forthright.
- Become the change you want to see. Instead of belittling, uplift. Instead of demolishing, rebuild. Instead of misleading, light the way so that all of us can stand on higher ground.
- Life maxims:
- “If you want to be successful, be excellent.”
- “If you want the best of the world has to offer, offer the world your best”
- When you define yourself by the things you can acquire rather than see what you really need to be happy and fulfilled, you’re not just living beyond your means or overextending yourself. You’re living a lie.
- You’ve got to be in touch with your mind, body, and spirit to live the life you were meant to. When all three are completely engaged, you’re able to fulfill your potential on earth.
- When you don’t know what to do, my best advice is to do nothing until clarity comes. Getting still, being able to hear your own voice and not the voices of the world quickens clarity. Once you decide what you want, make a commitment to that decision.
- Whose life did you touch? Who did you love, and who loved you back?
- Happiness in never something you get from other people. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you are able to give.
