Quality in Life

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected. To some, mediocrity is king. Reach for realistic goals just out of reach. SET THE BAR HIGHER!

God is Good! GOOD LUCK!

SPRING Clean your LIFE!

Our minds are much like our homes. They both get cluttered with old ideas, old attitudes, old conversations, and old pains. Both need a routine cleaning of stuff that we collected for one reason, and are holding onto out of habit, neglect, or just sheer willfulness.

Pursuing a simple, sustainable, flexible, happier lifestyle means that you have to choose it. And that means choosing to lose some other things. It means getting rid of things that no longer work for you, it means updating the way you do things or think, it means freeing up some space for new and exciting opportunities and challenges.

Sometimes it means looking backwards, or moving forwards. New born birds are afraid to fly, you should not be.

Just like cleaning your home, a mental Spring Cleaning takes a dedicated effort, a conscious choice to make changes in your mind the same way you make changes in your décor.

** Clean out the anger, hatred, jealousy, and self doubt. If you need to apologize, bite the bullet and do it. If you’re still angry and waiting on an apology from someone who won’t or can’t give you one, decide to let it go. It’s not contributing to your life – in fact it’s contaminating it – so it needs to go to the junk heap at the curb. Only then can you put something positive in it’s place. Make some room for happiness.

** Wash away delay and procrastination. Delay and procrastination set you up for frustration after frustration. You’ll find yourself constantly in the past, trying to catch up, scrambling around trying not to get caught. Is that really how you want to live? Get into the present! You’re missing your life by living yesterday over and over. ** Dust off your attitude. A positive attitude begins with gratitude. For just one day, practice giving instead of taking, practice sharing as much love, help, care, concern, and gratitude as possible. It’ll change your perspective. ** Throw out misunderstanding, and lack of patience. Open the shades and let in the warmth of friendship. True friendships, take work, time, energy, thoughtfulness. True friendships and love require FORGIVENESS, require UNDERSTANDING. The results are certainly worth it. ** Lighten up your thoughts with humor and fun. Yes life is difficult and the world can be a scary, tiresome place. Choose to insert laughter into each day; choose to have a little fun every day.

** Open the windows of your mind to new ideas and a fresh perspective on living a happier, better, easier life. Change takes action. There’s no silver bullet, no magic pill. But if you’ll open your mind to some different ways of doing things, if you’ll try some new habits, if you’ll work your mind muscles and your organizational skills in a different way, you’ll find that you’ll create the life that you truly want, not just the one that you end up with.

** Enjoy the person you are. If you don’t like yourself, find out why, and start working on becoming a person you do enjoy and that others will enjoy also. The returns will be worth it.

You are an underachiever... How do I know this?.....

Most people are severe underachievers and you are probably one of them. How do I know this?..... One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do....


Most people are severe underachievers and you are probably one of them. How do I know this?... Are you human? Most of us never even scratch our potential. The human mind is perhaps the most powerful force this world has ever known, and yet, we use but a sliver of our brain cells. Through a lack of planning, a lack of self-discipline, a lack of motivation, and a paucity of perseverance, the vast majority of our potential achievement dissipates without our having the slightest notion of it.

.... It does not take a psychic to feel the subtext. Fear cannot be hidden from or circumvented. You must force yourself to face it and act in spite of it. Faith is like a muscle. When you exercise it in the face of fear this way, it will get stronger with use and fear will lose its grip on you. It is a blessed day of liberation when you discover that you are able to walk through fear to accomplish what you once were afraid to do.
