We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
— Carlos Castaneda
Of course. And thank you for the reminder.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I can’t wait to get to work!
What are you working on?

“What is one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
Peer beyond the horizon.
Imagine there is no edge to your existence
And no limit to your potential.
Take some time today to sit, and dream. With no restrictions, no restraints, no practicality. Suspend your current “reality.”
(If it helps, consider that you have just won the lottery of a lifetime and are financially complete beyond the end of time!) Read More

“What is one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
Prepare for takeoff.
Fuel up, and plan your route ahead.
Strap yourself in
and take the chocks away.
Do you have a big idea, a grand vision, a “one day I’ll…” goal? Pursuing that skills training. Creating your home business. Writing that book.
Or maybe you’re simply looking to have a grand day. Flowing through tasks. Reveling in relationships. Embracing the day’s unfolding with ease and joy.
Either way, where do you pause? How are you holding yourself back? In what ways do you limit yourself?
Decide what it is that you want.
Point yourself in your desired direction.
Take a deep breath
And go.
How would you like your day to be today? And what dream are you putting off for the future? Reread that airplane takeoff metaphor again — you can feel the excitement and anticipation in your body, can’t you?!? Follow that feeling. Right now.

And then a miracle happened. Read More

it’s time to get down to it.
Stop putting off what you’ve been off-putting.
Roll your sleeves up
and get stuck in.
I’ve been meaning to do the laundry… For the past five days.
I’ve been meaning to organize the storeroom… For the past five months.
I’ve been meaning to write my book… For the past five years.
Holy wow, time is weird. I didn’t even realize that I was stuck out of it.
Ready or not, it’s time. (Spoiler alert: Read More
