The Gratitude Trick - Taking Gratitude to 10X

As you consciously practice principles of gratitude, these acts of gratitude evolve into habits; as you nurture those habits, those habits evolve into traits that become your true character. Gratitude then becomes the light that unconsciously illuminates others, giving them the inspiration to do the same.

I have something I've wanted to tell you for some time.

Mama Knows Best

My mom passed away Jan 4, 2015. But, she gave me the greatest advice just a few days ago. Hugs are the universal medicine!

“I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.”
– Ann Hood

If you are the gardener, where is your garden?

"A plowed garden can't determine what it will grow. It simply waits for the seeds to be planted, eager to nourish them and turn them into the gardener's desire."
- Lee Brower

The subconscious mind makes no distinction between constructive and destructive thought impulses. It works with the material we feed it, through our thought impulses. The subconscious mind will translate into reality a thought driven by fear, just as readily as it will translate into reality a thought driven by courage or faith.
- Napoleon Hill

I sat next to a Princess. Let me tell you what I learned.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
- Norman Cousins

“We lived for days on nothing but food and water.”
- W.C. Fields

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.”
- Frank Tibolt

A Dog, and Sasha

Kindness has ripples that influence for decades, even centuries.

Have I done any good?

Want to see good in the world? Then ask for it.

Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish-- and in effect save their lives.

Ask this one question to anchor yourself in this turbulent world.

Don't give up on an uncertain future.

Focus on those things that you have control over.

When you give up, you surrender your choice. Your story is the choices you make.

The choices you make, make you! Yes and No lead in opposite directions and determine the "story" of your life.

Ask this question mid-choice (in the moment) "What story do I want to tell."
