. A dear friend of mine has a saying that he shares frequently it is “dream better dreams” The theme this morning is so true and compels us to seek and pursue our purpose.

My perspective is of one who is a Christian. I have come to understand that God’s “Intelligent Design” process of creation includes each of us. Pursue your dreams, seek God’s purpose and live this phase of life’s existence preparing for the next.

Time has proven: it shall come.

I feel like the older I get the faster time goes by…..Great message today Larry!

Enjoy each decade and what it has to offer. My favorite was the 50’s. By this time you are pretty good at what you do, have gained a good bit of wisdom, and can mentor others. Physically- you still “have it”, and can have an active lifestyle. Financially, you should be on a path to a good retirement, and able to travel and enjoy some of life’s indulgences. Children are now grown and you may know the joy of grandchildren. But don’t put off doing things. If you always wanted to see Paris, DO IT ! My husband and I are now in our 80’s, and we treasure the memories we have traveling together.

Each Day is a New Day, We get to choose the path we wish to take. Not every path will be easy, the harder the path, the more you learn. For the next New Day will be the first Day you choose.

Hello! Have a great day. Stay safe!

Excellent message during this time!

A few of my favorite quotes on solitude:
“I never found a companion that was so compatible as solitude. ”
Henry David Thoreau
“A warrior balances solitude and dependence.”
Paul Coelho
“The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.”
Albert Einstein
Genesis 32:24 Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until day break.
Luke 5:16 But he would withdraw to deserted places to pray

At this time we don’t have a lot of choice (if we are following guidelines) to spend some time in solitude. Like it or not, a good choice is to make the best of it.

This too shall pass.

Lot to be said about that. Thanks for these postings…

I looked forward to the ‘Think Daily’ emails every morning. I go thru my emails while drinking coffee and I am inspired everyday! It’s kind of like a secret weapon.. lol

To see ourselves as others see us. I think someone famous once said that. Don’t know who!

Good Day,
Larry,
Thank You so much for your daily messages. They have taught all of us so much.
Many years ago a wise man
(we all know) shared this with me.
Thought I would pass it on to our community.

 Don’t just learn, experience.
Don’t just read, absorb.
Don’t just change, transform.
Don’t just relate, advocate.
Don’t just promise, prove
Words to live by,
Make It A Great Day.

Good morning from WNC! There is much to be thankful for in all this. I’ll leave it at this, we had a follow up zoom meeting with a client yesterday that resulted in a contract signing. We continue to move forward, though very carefully. My team is on board with flattening the curve. Thanks for your on-going inspiration!

And here is a fun exercise to determine how to get more time to do things you want
All of us have 168 hours per week=24×7
Create a spread sheet with each day on top and vertically the times. For each day list the activities you do so on Monday you get up at 5 am get ready 5:30 breakfast 6
Commute 7am-8am
8am-5pm work etc
Do it for 7 days and at the end of the week you’ll be able to see where you can cut back to gain more time for things you want to do. Include when you eat and sleep in excercise.
I had a graduate student who was married with children was in graduate school and was ceo of a language school fulltime
Sunday was family day for her. So i came up with this formula for anyone who gave me the excuse i don’t have time and used the example above. I used my own formula after the death of my dad when i had to do work, family and regional manager of a woman’s organization and with tenacity we perserve. It works.
Making a positive difference in the lives of others.

“I don’t have time to leave a comment.” That’s a joke.
Stay safe, Larry. Thank you for what you do!

“Hope” is the thing with feathers
BY EMILY DICKINSON
“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –

I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.

Tough times never last but tough people do

We always want to run away from harsh reality.
