~ Terry Josephson
I know it sounds so simple, by now I even say this. But it is really simple, we can change our thoughts in a second, which can change how we look at things, which can change our actions, which can change our results. Will we fail at times, yes and if you look at it as getting an education on learning a way that didn't work then you have not failed you learned from doing.
Change your thoughts in a second.
Change your perception and view on that thing.
Change your actions
Changes your results
Think and dream big. How many times have I shared that statement.
Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish. Another gem this one from Steve Jobs in his speech to Stanfords graduating class in 2005. Don't let other people slow you down with their limiting beliefs.
Dream Big! Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish.
The possibilites are only limited to your imagination. Your imagination really has no limits.
So what possibilites do you believe today? What are your dreams? What do you want to do with them?
What are you willing to give up to get to those dreams. What do you have planned in the next 86,400 seconds that this day offers you? You get a fresh day tomorrow what are your plans for that day?
Dream Big! Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish! Pray a little, meditate a little, dream a little, smile often and laugh much! Great words to live by each day not because I typed them out but because they are true.
This weeks affirmation fits right here :
I live with an abundant attitude. I appreciate what surrounds me, I see love and possibility in everything that is presented to me. When challenges confront me, I welcome them because I see growth and opportunity. It is a new chance to share in my knowledge of appreciation and love. I am grateful for everything that brings me love and joy. Love surrounds me. Joy flows freely from my spirit. I am grateful! I appreciate and look forward to the new year and I will live in gratitude for all that I have.
Trust in these words this week, Say them, repeat them and each day watch the shift in your beliefs.
Words with power, with emotion and words that will help affirm your design of a better you.
Use your mirror time and face time each day to acknowledge that you are loved and that you are truly grateful for all that you have.
By your creator, and by the reflection in that mirror. You are loved. Take the time for you! It is within you right now to make your day more joyful, happier, and designed the way you choose. Its your turn to act!
Smiles as always sent your way. Today and always. : )
