Are you a seed eater?

If you don’t learn to handle small amounts of money well, you’ll never get a chance to handle large amounts.

Take care of yourself

“I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.” – Jim Rohn

What would society be like if we all did?

Bridges

“One of the hardest things in life to learn is which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.” – Oprah Winfrey

This morning think about your life –

What bridges do you need to burn?

What bridges in your life do you need to cross?

What bridges do you need to build?

Generosity

Feeling good when helping others is something we are born with.  That alone should tell us that we are supposed to do it. 

We can give our time, our ear, our caring, our effort, and if we are able – our money.  

Here are some thoughts on the subject.

“Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.” – Jean De La Bruyere

“That’s what I consider true generosity.  You give your all and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.” – Simone De Beauvoir

“Generosity makes at least two people feel good.” Karen Casey

“Generosity is luck going in the opposite direction, away from you.  If you’re generous to someone, if you do something to help him out, you are in effect making hum lucky.  This is important.  It’s like inviting yourself into a community of good fortune.” – Twyla Tharpe

Time flies – but you're the pilot

We all have the same amount of time in a day, week, or year.  It seems to fly by.

When we are young, we think we have unlimited time.  As we age, we come to know better.

It seems we can’t control this thing called time.

But we can!  We can control what we DO with it.  We can spend much of our time doing meaningful, valuable, and enriching things that fill our lives with experiences we cherish.

Time flies – but you’re the pilot.

You are what you ________.

Your body is what you continually eat.

Your mind is what you continually see, hear and read.

What’s going in?

Being happy today

“It is only possible to live Happily Ever After one day at a time.” – Margaret Wander Bonanno

Learn to be happy with all you have, while pursuing all you want.

Don’t delay being happy.  

"You're not the boss of me!"

That’s right.  Nobody else is the boss of you.  You are.  

And how’s that going?

Show you can lead yourself first.

Feeling Guilty?

If you feel guilty, it means you have violated one of your own internal standards and you need to clean up your act.

Right?

Need help?

How is your life going? 

If I’m not willing to help myself, there is not much anyone can do for me.

Habits, eating, learning, effort, and attitude…

Are you doing what you can to make things better for yourself and keep them that way?
