The best way to be considered valuable is to think about and help others.

Ask questions.

Support them in their goals.

Give them ideas and solutions to their problems.

Your heart is where you find courage.

Your mind is where you fantasize about fear.

Listen to your mind but trust your heart.

Since all energy is existing energy that is transformed from one state to another – take your strongest emotions, your strongest feelings, and direct them to where you want them.

• Take your anger and turn it into compassion.
• Take your sadness and turn it into empathy.
• Take your pain and turn it into joy.

Take your negative energy and turn it positive – you choose where and how you redirect it.

In order to gain confidence in who you are and where you are going:

1. Question your questions.
2. Doubt your doubts.
3. Love yourself.
4. Love others.
5. Breathe slowly.

Learn From The Past 

Live In The Now 

Hope For The Future 

The fastest way to destruction is to say “yes” to things you should say “no” to.

Joy is a feeling. A feeling of happiness/pleasure that comes from accomplishment or success. Happiness does not cause joy. Responsibility, passion, accountability, creation, and doing are what causes joy and that produces happiness. As we are taught and told, the creator wants us to “have joy”.

(Feelings are choices while emotions are not. )

Ways to feel worse about yourself:

1. Focus on “what-if”
2. Wait for something better
3. Compare (yourself, your things)

Doing these things eliminates gratitude. They allow negative emotions to evolve into dangerous feelings.

Yet, practicing active gratitude always makes you feel better. Gratitude turns the focus outward and enables peace and contentment to become your dominant feelings.

Practice gratitude – daily:

1. Write down what you are thankful for
2. Tell someone why you are thankful for them
3. Do something now to help move you toward your goals

Some people sacrifice everything. They are the ones you can count on.

Some people do whatever it takes. They are the ones you can trust.

Some people care enough to be present. They are the ones you honor.

 

Happy Birthday, MOM! Love you! Thanks for sacrificing everything, for doing what it takes, and for being present. We have always counted on you and trusted you, and we honor you.

Passion creates motivation to push for the desired outcome. Apathy is worse than disagreement, apathy is worse than argument, apathy is worse than conflict.  Passion overcomes most weaknesses. Apathy magnifies every deficiency. Energy and focus build the skills and tools to find success. Apathy wastes all gifts and talents. Passion enables courage.
