[success]Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify. ~ Thoreau [/success] “I’m so overwhelmed that I can’t think straight.” This is what someone said to me last week. And I recognized how this has been true for me…and some days still is my truth. We all get pulled in so many different directions every day, stretching ourselves thin and doing a pretty rotten job at managing all our tasks. And then we’re surprised that we’re totally exhausted and stressed out. Many of us are like hamsters on a wheel running furiously and getting nowhere fast. And it’s hurting us. If you’d like to stay healthy and stress less then it’s time to start simplifying and this means dumping all the things that aren’t essential for a peaceful, happy life. So what to do? So where to start?  It’s really not as hard as you think… Stop doing things that aren’t fulfilling…

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” ~ Jim Rohn Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you want. Despite your best efforts to cultivate an attitude of success, to develop yourself, to pay attention to your results, to plant and nurture the seeds of your dream life, you’re still struggling and not making much progress. The easiest thing in the world would be to give up. Many do. Who could blame them? But to have the patience, persistence and determination to keep going, despite everything, is the true measure of success. Real magic occurs once you decide, no matter what, you’re going to do something that your future self will be grateful for. You’re going to carry on. But first you have to stop allowing outdated habits to interfere with your progress and steal your dreams. It’s high time to pay attention to the things you’ve accepted or permitted…

[success]Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance ~ Tia Sillers and Mark Sanders[/success] It takes courage to look at your life and decide this isn’t the way you want to live.  It takes courage to say no, to release the familiar and embrace the new. Yet, if you want a better future, one that’s different from the life you currently have, don’t be afraid to let go and take a risk. It’s the only way to see a life you didn’t know was possible. Most people aren’t living the life they want because they haven’t committed enough to a vision, or worse, they haven’t yet chosen a vision for their future, one that’s valuable enough to let nothing stand in their way. Don’t sacrifice the promise of wonderful new experiences for the security of…

[success]The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it’s a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free. ~ Charles R. Swindoll[/success] Making minor changes in your daily life will make a major difference to the ease with which you fulfill your dreams. Why settle for mediocrity when five simple changes can lead to a life of excellence. 1. Commitment If you’d have begun anything last year, or the year before you’d be twelve or twenty four months better at it than you are today. Don’t let that stop you.  Begin now.  But only commit yourself to what’s best for you. Don’t be misled by the opinion of others…their opinions are no more valuable than your own. Desire is what stirs your soul into movement, but it’s persistence, and a relentless commitment that…

[success]Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. ~ Michael Jordan[/success] My life is similar to yours, sometimes up, sometimes down; filled with great things and discouragement. Everyone experiences heartache and setbacks. Who hasn’t felt the sting of rejection or the sorrow of loss? Today, if you’re drooping from the latest down in your life or if you haven’t yet had a dream come true, remember tomorrow will be a new day, a new start. A new start means letting some things go, being empty of what was full. Don’t be afraid to release old patterns and replace them with new ideas. Being full of past dramas, old beliefs and concepts, past betrayals and setbacks keeps you from creating the life of your dreams today. Let today be…
