Strategy thats all it is ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 30 of 366 ~ 01/30/12


Incentives are not strategy, they are tactics. 

Defensive measures.

: o ) Carlos Ghosn

True enough.  So very true.  When we strategize we try to protect our interest.  Our interest being to win at a game or to win in life.  That is how people learn how to win.  They plan and the strategize the game plan against the other players weaknesses.  

So if you look in the mirror this day do you ever take the time to ask what your strategy is ?

Think about that question next time you look in that morning mirror or drink that morning cup of coffee or tea.  What is my strategy to win?

What is your strategy for learning?
What is your strategy for sharing love with those you care about?
What is your strategy for making a difference each day?

Fair questions to ask yourself each day.  More important questions if you want to push forward in your life.  Learn your strategy each morning and review it and implement it.

May this coming month be filled with these assets.  February 2012 has 29 days, a leap year of sort gives it that.  May your leap be filled with love and smiles this year : )

Weekly Affirmation for this week the last week and first week sort of speak of the month that ends and the month that comes.  : o )

This day and week I will make decisions that will improve my surroundings and those that I care about.  I am full of joy and love and I readily choose to share this love and joy with others. Laughter follows me and I embrace it.  Smiles dwell within and I give of them freely.  Kindness flows like a mighty river ever moving forward and shaping the terrain below as it flows.

Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
