Ask yourself the right questions :-)

“But it’s not the external voice that will break you down. It’s what you tell yourself that matters…we are all our own worst haters and doubters because doubt is a natural reaction to any bold attempt to change your life for the better.”-David Groggins

We don’t consciously berate ourselves, but it does happen quite passively. If we are not arming ourselves with positive self-talk, the negative voices run the roost. We need to arm ourselves. Ask yourself some questions in the morning: who needs my A game today? Why am I the best doctor/baker/flight attendant for those I get to serve? How do I show I am a compassionate person daily? The great thing about these questions is they beg a positive answer :-).

Get up and get after it music

by drjoellindeman

I am thankful for inspirational music!

I love how a simple song (or actually hundreds of hundreds of songs) can uplift my soul and get my mind and spirit in the best possible space.

I am grateful!

Receiving

In a short meditation this morning, the speaker discussed the act of receiving.

It got me thinking a bit.

We are all pretty good at receiving things everyday.

We receive the breaths our body takes. We receive the sunlight on our face, the coffee into our mouths.

However, many of us are not adept at receiving others’ praise and thanks.

We push it off “No problem.” “It was nothing.”

Instead of actually receiving their “Thank you” and saying “You are very welcome.”

When we push it off, we may think we are being humble, but in fact we are denying them the ability to give their gift of thanks to us.

We are taking that gift and throwing it into the fire.

Be cognizant of accepting (graciously) the gratitude of others. Give them the gift of acceptance.

Thank you!

Love + Serve + Care = GROWTH

Thanks for sharing Jessica!

“Many people say to focus on growing your business. But I say to focus on loving, serving and caring and your business will grow exponentially. Focus on loving, serving and caring one person at a time and people will be drawn to your business, service, school, hospital, etc. When you love, serve and care you not only change your heart and mind, you change the hearts and minds of those people around you.”
