Morning Motivation — How can you help?

Posted by

How can you help?   Sometimes just what you need to help yourself is to help someone else.  It can be a breath of fresh perspective to take the focus off of your wants, needs, desires, and projects long enough to look around at your family, friends, neighbors, community, state, country or the world.  What’s going on?  Who is in crisis?  How can you help?  Can you volunteer your time?  Can you donate food, clothing, blankets?  Can you choose to skip Starbucks two mornings in a row and contribute $10 to those in need?  Do it.  Expect nothing in return.  Receive an amazing feeling.

Morning Motivation — Are you thinking outside the lines?

Posted by

Are you thinking outside the lines?   Instead of following the predictable path—complaining, comparing, competing, being afraid, wanting more of what you don’t have, behaving the way you always have—choose to think outside the lines of the usual, choose to think differently, choose to act differently.  What if you react to everything and everyone with only smiles?  See what happens.  What if you choose to respond in a new way?   If anger is the predictable reaction, choose to sing your response instead.   Why not?  See what happens.  Choose to view what’s in front of you with a fresh perspective, a kind attitude, a creative lens.  See what happens!  Everything you...
