Life is not a spectator sport.

Do you believe in Genies?

If your answer is “no” go back to sleep. If your answer is “yes,” will you be aggressive enough to rub the bottle? If not, it does not matter what you believe. Even a genie, someone that can grant you your life’s wishes, needs some encouragement. If you are so passive, inhibited, inflexible or scared that you refuse to believe or to rub the bottle then you suffer the consequences of inaction, and your chance to fulfill your dreams is lost forever.

Keep your feet in the mud but reach for the moon.

Make no little plan because they have no magic to stir one’s imagination. Make big plans, work hard and visualize your success. If you fail at the big plan you will still have accomplished more then if you only had made only minor plans.

Success

by

Improve isn’t a clarion word, it is instead the secret to success.

Grandiose schemes and theories never achieve the same results as the accumulation of small consistent attainable goals.

Add up the smaller parts that work and improve a little every day.

Don’t measure your successes by what you have but how much fun you had getting there.

Set new goals.

by

No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today.

Life Is Action.

Move on. Life is too short to keep looking backwards and dwelling on the hurts, frustrations and bad habits and breaks.

Even if you have achieved what you want, set new goals but differentiate between your needs and your wants.

The Butterfly Effect

by

Be aware of The Butterfly Effect.

The butterfly effect is when the battering of the butterflies tiny wings in Asia causes the death of a population in Mexico due to the hurricane it produced or started. Thinking about this effect is meant to give you awareness to control the details thereby controlling the culmination or correlating actions.

A simple act, positive or negative can have magnified repercussions.

You cannot say to the sun, “move Sun” or say to the rain “less rain.” Satoru

Positive Thinking

by

Positive thinking is a habit of mind, body and spirit.

Everything behind us is connected to everything ahead of us.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thought takes you.
