Begin to Clear the Clutter in Your Life

Begin to clear out the clutter in your life...your house, car, office space, etc. to allow new and flowing energy your life. Keep in mind that "clutter" may include people...who may be unsupportive or a roadblock to achieving your goals, or who may be disguised as your friends. Have an AWESOME energy-flowing day!

Do Not Allow Fear To Control Your Life

Do not allow fear to control your life. Fear can manifest itself in many ways. Confront your fears, work thru them, and release the "hold" that fear has on you. Make it a FEARLESS and FABULOUS day!

People Choose Their Own Path

People choose their own path. Allow them to travel it! Allow people to lead their lives THEIR way! You may not agree with how they do things but it's not for you to decide what other people do! If you feel they are travelling down a path that may be detrimental to ...them, EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN, SUPPORT THEM, TEACH THEM, but don't sit back and criticize and say I TOLD YOU SO! That's not helpful and self-righteousness is counterproductive! Have a FANTABULOUS day!!

We Aren't Perfect!

If we know that we aren't perfect and we don't "walk on water", why is it that we expect others to be perfect?? Today, try not to be so critical or judgmental of others. Make it an awesome day!!!

Take Inventory of Your Life!

Take inventory of your life and count your blessings!

Prioritize What Is Important to You!

Prioritize what is important to you...your goals, your finances, your family, your relationships...and then stay focused! Keep your eye on the prize!

Be at Peace with Yourself!

Be at peace with yourself and who you present yourself to be to the world! Just do you, whoever that is, but please keep it DRAMA-FREE. Life is too short to not be yourself. So enjoy life and enjoy being you! And for those of you str...uggling with who you are, it's okay, you can start fresh today and become the You that you've always wanted to be.

Don't Take Others for Granted!

Do not take others for granted and certainly do not mistake their kindness for weakness. When someone does you a favor, no matter how small, show appreciation. Don't just assume that they SHOULD have done it. The world would be a m...uch better place if we just treated each other with more respect, gratitude and love. SHOW someone today that you appreciate, respect and love them. Make it a great day!

Avoid the Need to be Right!

When conflicts arise, avoid the need to "be right" because being right doesn't necessarily resolve anything. It doesn't help the situation to shed light on the other person's errors or shortcomings in the situation. Instead, seek to find an amicable resolution that allows you both to walk away with dignity. Make it a FABULOUS day!

Seek First to Understand and Then to be Understood

Franklin Covey is my inspiration today: Seek first to Understand and then to be Understood. Once people feel like you understand them, they are willing to listen and understand you. We all want to be heard and treated with compassion and respect. Today, try to understand the other person before trying to get your point across. Sometimes we have to give before we get. Make it great day!

Honor Your Agreements

Friday, August 7th
Honor your agreements or commitments! If you commit to doing something, do it. If you borrow money, pay it back promptly. If you later discover that you will be unable to do something that you said you would, have the common courtesy to advise those that you made the commitment to. Honoring commitments is an essential part of developing/maintaining relationships and building character.

Life is Too Short

Life is too short to be consumed with negativity! Do not waste your precious energy on issues of the past, gossip, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment!

People are to be Loved!

THINGS are to be USED and PEOPLE are to be LOVED. However, in today's world, people are often used and things are loved. Do not allow yourself to become obsessed with material things! Things may be replaced, however, people cannot. Cherish those that are important to you and let them know that they are loved. Make it a day filled with LOVE!

Energy is Contagious!

Energy is contagious! Have you ever noticed how uplifting it is when someone with positive energy or attitude or demeanor enters the room? People feed off each other's energy. Generate positive energy today. You may just uplift someone's spirits! Make it a POSITIVE day!!

Ensure your actions are aligned with your intentions

Ensure your actions are in alignment with your intentions, otherwise your intentions are irrelevant. Do more than just tell someone what your goals are, what you plan on doing, what you MEANT to do, etc., SHOW THEM! As the old adage says, "Actions speak louder than words!" Let your actions represent you!

Various thoughts from 7/27 - 8/3

Hello Friends,
I have been MIA for the past week or so. However, I have posted a recap of my thoughts for last week. I hope you enjoy them and are inspired. Have a FABULOUS Day!

August 3rd
Practice seeing things from perspectives other than your own. Although your way may be "the right way" to you, it is not the ONLY way. "Your way" may be one of many roads to the destination of happiness, success, love, etc. Don't let short-sightedness (or stubbornness) become an obstacle in reaching your destination. Make it a SUCCESSFUL day!

July 31st
TGIF!! Have a forgiving heart and spirit. Life is too short to hold grudges and hold hate in our hearts. Mend a broken friendship or relationship today; it doesn't mean that you have forgotten just that you have forgiven! Have an AWESOME weekend!

July 30th
The value of TRUE friendship is priceless! Learn to discern your TRUE friends from fairweathered friends. True friends are there for you during the trials AND triumphs. They not only support you, they are loyal, and they "check" you when you need "checking"; they don't just co-sign whatever you say because that's what you want to hear. Know your friends; better yet, assess whether YOU are a TRUE friend.

July 29th
Treat yourself well so that others will know how to treat you. Do at least one thing nice for yourself today...and don't feel guilty about it!!! I wish you all an AMAZING day as well.

July 28th
When you compromise your standards and settle for less than you deserve, it is likely that you will be frustrated most of the time. Maintain your standards and don't settle for less. Life is too short to be frustrated. Make it a fabulous day!

July 27th
Just for today, step out of your comfort zone and do something different. You just may open yourself up to new opportunities. Make it a great day!

Do Not be a Victim!

Do NOT be a victim! Throughout life we will be involved in a lot of positive and "not so positive" experiences. The "not so positive" experiences will be uncomfortable and take us out of our comfort zone. They occur to help us grow and learn. Avoid the urge to become a victim; Do not have a pity party and continue to ask "why did this happen to me?" Instead, ask "what am I suppose to learn from this experience?" Learn the lesson and move on.

Create your own definition of Happiness

Create your own definition of Happiness. If you choose to use the lives of others as the benchmark for your own happiness, your scale of happiness will constantly be in flux and happiness may continue to allude you. Choose to live your life in accordance with your own definition of happiness.

Listen to Your Inner Voice

Be still and listen to your inner voice to guide you today. Avoid making hasty decisions. Take time to think thru your decisions and the potential consequences. You may just save yourself a lot of time, grief, money, heartache, etc. Have a great day!!
