“Most successful men (and women) have hot achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand.”-Bruce Barton

“Happiness is not something “just around the corner” or “over the hill” or something that can be enjoyed as soon as you have a certain level of material comfort. It’s a moment-to-moment choice. Joy and contentment come from daily, hourly, minutely, secondly decisions to be grateful for what you have. With every breath. Savoring every moment. Focusing on the good. On service to others. On the sacred, whatever that word means to you. Happy?”
This is a great video! I love the simple concept that is so VITAL to success and fulfillment. We must be happy in the now and have big dreams of the future. It is so easy to get skewed one way or the other, i.e big dreams of the future/big vision, but not happy now, or to be content now and forget to have big vision. This is great!
From my awesome new team member Ashley (Chiropractic Assistant extraordinaire):
“To be truly human, we have to live at the intersection of our head (skills), our heart (passions) and hands (service). It’s a beautiful reminder that you’ll find your zone of genius when you connect to what you’re passionate about, identify the needs associated with it, and bring your skills to meet the task in the best way possible.”
Be positive!
My office manager shared this quote today in our morning meeting about opportunity:
“Our lives are the result of all the doors we have walked through, and our continued growth depends on our willingness to keep moving into new spaces. When a door opens, walk through it. Trust that the door has opened for a reason and you have been guided to it.”
We need to wake up to the importance of connecting to the Divine, connecting to ourselves and serving others – this is the recipe for a joy filled life.
Invictus is an amazing poem by William Ernest Henley. Nelson Mandela recited the poem to his fellow captives to remind them that their futures remain up to them.
I discovered the “song” on accident (basically Morgan Freeman’s reading of the poem set to some cool music) Search for “Written featuring Nev and MF.”
Most of us don’t have such troubles, but it bears repeating that you are the master of your fate and you are the captain of your soul!
Thursday, my Office Manager extraordinairre and I attended the National Achievers Congress in Denver. It was great! 2 great, inspiring quotes/things that I took away:
“The odds of you even existing are 400 trillion to one (that’s the odds of being born). You are more likely to win the megamillions lottery 5 times than to be born in the first place”-Gary Vaynerchuk
“Whatever your goals are, what you are really after is the feeling(s) you will get when you achieve those goals. So why not start with working on getting that feeling now, and then achieving goals become a product rather than the end.”-Tony Robbins
