“Don’t hope, wish, set goals–instead intend on it.”
~ Wayne Dyer

Whatever your dreams are it’s time to stop hoping and wishing for them. Replace those thoughts with real intention to do them and you’ll find yourself more inclined to DO what needs to be done to make them reality.

In addition you’ll find yourself ENJOYING doing what needs to be done. And that’s the key.

See you next time

3 Ideas for Simplifying Your Life Today

  • Think about your values and write down what’s important to you. Is it spending time with family and friends, making more income, spending time doing what you love, art, music, travel, adventure, etc.
  • Cut down television time and continue to do this slowly more and more–or whatever works for you. But start replacing this TV time with productive tasks that you enjoy doing,
  • Clear your desk and find your own unique way of keeping it clean that works for you. When your desk is clean your mind is clear and this will help you be more productive and efficient.

Today’s grateful and thankfulness quotes:

“Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.”
- Northrup Christiane

“If the only prayer you ever say in your life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart

“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say thank you?” -William A. Ward

“For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.” -Clarence E. Hodges

Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

~Wayne Dyer

The quotes above talk about the power of our own minds. Sometimes we forget–at times for too long–that we always have a choice.

When misery, depression or other sad thoughts arise feel and experience the emotions but then let them pass and choose happiness.

The last quote reminds us that we actually need to motivate ourselves to stay focused. If I don’t motivate myself everyday I’ll start to slip towards negativity. Motivation is part of my daily diet… Like food and water it keeps me going in the direction of my dreams.
