What are You Saying "Yes" TO?

Your new way of thinking will light up your life, while old negative thoughts and situations will fade away from neglect. You are creating your life! Choose your thoughts, your words, your actions and your feelings and create a life you truly LOVE living! Decide today that this is the best day of your life! Namaste’ |
Would Your Future Self Approve of Your Choices Today?
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.” ~ Mark Twain
Talk to any minister or doctor or priest who has spent a lot of time at the bedside of dying people, and they will tell you that almost no one regrets the things they did. They all regret the things they didn’t do.
If you live your life exactly the way you are now, will you be pleased and satisfied when it is your last day on earth? Are you settling for the status quo out of fear or lack of faith? Make a decision today that you will listen to the still small voice that is telling you that there is so much more to be had from life. Decide that you will live 90 years, not the same year 90 times.

What are You Expecting?
“To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect.”
–Jane Austen – Sense and Sensibility
“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” Classic example of expecting and getting undesirable outcomes.
“Things are always working out for me; I’m so lucky.” Classic example of expecting and getting a joyful journey and the outcomes we want.
Get it? What you are expecting is what you are putting your attention and your energy on and these are the things that appear in your physical life; but this is not the primary message out in the world. That message is, “don’t expect anything and you won’t be disappointed.” I find this very grim and disempowering and no fun at all. It’s much better to expect and look for the best in people and circumstances.
Decide today to expect the best! Expect what you want, expect a life you LOVE!

Do You Search Out Opportunities to Laugh?
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” Victor Hugo
I am fortunate to have a puppy in the house at the moment, which means we are laughing about every five minutes. This is a great reminder of how important it is to look for things to be amused about, look for reasons to laugh out loud!
Our brains are actually trained to look for the negative; constantly scanning for potential danger. Retrain your brain to look for things to laugh at and enjoy. Form a new habit of seeking out the fun, the beautiful and the joyful aspects of every day!
You are creating your life! Choose your thoughts, your words and your actions and create a life you truly LOVE living! Make it an amazing day! Decide today that this is the best day of your life!

Are You Doing and Doing The Best?
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our best today may be very different from our best yesterday or tomorrow. Forget about yesterday, don’t worry about tomorrow, focus on where you are in this moment and do what you can, with what you have, from this very place. This is a brand new, perfectly unique baby day and all of our power to create is in the sacred here and now.
You are creating your life! Choose your thoughts, your words and your actions and create a life you truly LOVE living! Make it an amazing day! Decide today that this is the best day of your life!

Do You Appreciate The Contrast?
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
We only know we are alive, because of our awareness of that which we call death. We know the light because of the darkness, health because of illness and joy because of sadness. Without these contrasts, our adventure as a human being would be very bland and boring and probably not worth the trouble.
If you are experiencing anything that feels “bad”, bless that feeling as a clue to reach for something that feels better. See the gifts and the information in the contrast and remember your power to begin moving in the direction of the light, of the joy that is your birthright.
You are creating your life! Choose your thoughts, your words and your actions and create a life you truly LOVE living! Make it an amazing day! Decide today that this is the best day of your life!

Do You Know What You REALLY Want?
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we already know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.” Albert Einstein
Most of us, when asked to create a vision for the life we would REALLY LOVE, have a very difficult time imagining what that life would be. As children, we were genius at imagining. We could easily pretend to be a fireman or a ballerina, a cowboy or an astronaut.
We get this ability trained out of us, by well meaning grown-ups, and as adults are unable to think beyond what we believe is possible to the real truth that ANYTHING is possible. Reawaken your inner child today and really dream up the life you would love.
We ARE creating our lives, and choosing to think different thoughts, to imagine outside of what we think is possible, is the best way to grow and to reach for our full potential; to really begin living a life we LOVE.

Is Your Life On Course?
“Things do not change; we change.” Confucius
If you think your life is staying the same, day after day, it means that your thoughts are staying the same, day after day. Every day is brand new and always changing, but if you are in the same vibration as you always are, it changes into a day that looks just like the day before.
A teeny tiny, one degree shift in any trajectory will vastly change the point of arrival just one mile down the road. So if you shift the course of your life by just small degrees, you dramatically change where you are going to wind up.
Pick a vision, set your course and make a tiny adjustment in that direction. Make a decision to create this day and every day on purpose. Write down this date and set a reminder to look back in just one month and see how things have changed.
You are creating your life! Choose your thoughts, your words and your actions and create a life you truly LOVE living!...
What Is Your Personal Signature?
“In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.”
Les Brown
Les Brown
In my Life Mastery Course, I teach a story about a grocery store that was transformed by Johnny, a bagger with Down syndrome. He started a practice of putting a “thought for the day” message in every grocery bag. Before long, his checkout line was three times longer than the others, because customers wanted his thought for the day. Customers shopped more often just to get the daily message. One small gesture that had such an impact on so many.
How do people feel after interacting with you? What energy do you leave behind when you exit the room? How will you be remembered?
Make it your mission to leave a positive mark on every minute of your day. The way you ARE is so much louder than the words you say.
You are creating your life! Choose your thoughts, your words...
How Do We Cope With The Loss of a Loved One?
“You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don’t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him.” – Professor Dumbledore – Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban – J K Rowling.
Sometimes when I am not inspired on any particular message for these daily mails, I will reach out to loved ones and see what is on their mind. In this way, I know at least one person is served by the message for the day. Today it was my beloved niece and she told me she lost her grandmother last night.
Me: “Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry. Are you ok?”
Alison: “I’m OK. She’s in paradise now and will never hurt again.”
Alison is absolutely inspired in her belief. Death is a very complex subject; well for humans it...
