#27 - Who Should I Listen To?

Listen to your heart. Live your life entirely according to what your heart tells you is the right way to live. If you feel like crying, cry. It you feel overwhelmed with joy, sing. If you feel love towards someone, express it.

We need to define our priorities – the values, endeavours and dreams that guide us – and build our worlds around those things. It is not enough just to get through the day. We need to make every day a platform for accomplishing what we want out of life. We must take responsibility for ourselves and the world we live in so that we can live with ourselves and the world around us. Joanna Smith Bers

If you are sleeping, sleep well. If you are playing, play well. If you are working, give it your best. H. W. Prentis, Jr.

At the end of your life you will find that the things you thought were the big things were actually the little things, and that all those things you thought were the little unimportant things were actually the big, important ones. Unknown

#26 - How Much Should I Give?

Remember that the hand that gives is the hand that gathers, and that giving to others starts the receiving process. The more you give to others, the more you will ultimately receive yourself.

Life is like a play; it's not the length but the excellence of acting that matters. Seneca

#25 - What is Most Important in Life?

Most important in life is what you give to it; not what you get from it. Life is about helping others and blessing the world by the way you live.

Most of us miss out on life's big prizes. The Pulitzer. The Nobel. Oscars. Tonys. Emmys. But, we are all eligible for life's small pleasures. A pat on the back. A kiss behind the ear. A four pound bass. A full moon. Cold beer.

Don't fret about getting life's grand awards. Enjoy its tiny delights. There are plenty for all of us. United Technologies Corporation.

#24 - How do I Become Wealthy?

Stop wishing that you made more money and ask yourself how you can help more people to get what they want. Think about it! Tim Hortons is not successful because they know how to make coffee and donuts. Many other people make coffee and donuts too.

They are successful because they help many people get what they want – a convenient supply of fresh coffee and donuts!

#23 - What is Happiness?

Happiness does not come when you achieve certain things; it comes when you think certain thoughts. Fulfillment in life does not come from collecting more things; it comes from feeling more love.

Do not forget how to live with decency and love. Do not loose sight of the things that truly count. Do not forget that life's little pleasures, like the magic of a child's laugh or the glory of a sunrise, are life's most important ones.

You must become the change you most wish to see in your life. Gandhi

#22 - What is Leadership?

Leadership is, in many ways, about taking the high road and making the tough choice – no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel. The tougher you are with yourself, the easier life will be on you.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self. Elijah Wood

#21 - What Makes Us Human?

What makes us human, is the power each and every one of us has to choose our response to a specific situation. No matter who you are and no matter what your background is, you still have the power to choose how you process the events of your life.

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. Helen Keller

#20 - Who Needs Love?

We all need more love in our lives. This world would be a far better place with more love. Loving relationships form the foundation of a life greatly lived.

Everything you do as you live out your days must speak of love. Leo Tolstoy

The name of the game is not to sacrifice yourself for work and have nothing left for the people you truly love. Change the rule. No! Break all the rules and realize that the whole idea is to work for the sake of living rather than live for the sake of working.

#19 - Why Am I Here?

There is a grand purpose to EVERY life. We are all here to live heroic lives and make a difference in the world, in our own unique way. To achieve this, we have to do what we know to do the best way we know to do it.

We were put on earth for one purpose and that is to make it a better place. If the earth, as a result of our having been on it, is a better place than it was before we came, then we have achieved our destiny. General James Doolittle, US Air Force

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. William Penn

Your intellect and your heart tell you that the meaning of life is to serve the force that sent you into the world. Then life becomes a joy. Leo Tolstoy

#18 - Good Morning Blessings!

This morning when I awakened
And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,
Bless everyone I love."

Right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially,
And keep you free from care.

I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more.

I felt so warm and good inside,
My heart was all aglow.
I know God heard my prayers for you.
He hears them all, you know.

You are the recipient of this blessing.
Be the source of blessing to someone you know.
