* REFLECTIONS 01-26-13

We all know and remember a smiley person – 

someone whose heart seems to radiate through their teeth. 

And when they do, notice how it’s almost impossible not to smile back…

unless you are feeling very, very grumpy! 

So if you don’t feel a smile coming on – why not do it anyway. 

Not only does it transform your inner chemical production and create

 ‘happy hormones’, but when people are on the end of your smile, 

they smile back.

And if you really don’t genuinely feel like smiling at life, 

the universe and everybody – fake it until you make it!

“Go for it!”

 

There is no perfect time for anything, 

so what are you waiting for?

 

The truth is that now is as good a time 

as any to put your dreams into motion. 

Let’s make today the day to begin your journey 

to greater levels of fulfillment and productivity. 

No more waiting for things to be “just right.”

 

No matter what you have been putting off, 

make a commitment to yourself 

that today is the day to get moving. 

There will always be challenges and obstacles.

 So what! If you take things in stride 

and roll with the punches,

 

you can overcome anything!

 

Remember that with each step you take, 

you’ll grow stronger, 

more and more skilled, 

and more and more confident. 

Break free and go for it!

There’s a way

When it’s something you truly wish to do, 

there’s a way to get it done.

 

There’s a way to cut through all the objections, 

obstacles and excuses,

 

and to make it happen.

 

If you don’t know how, 

then you can learn.

 

If you can’t find anyone to teach you,

 

then you can figure out your own approach.

 

If you don’t have time, 

examine and update your priorities. 

Remember why it’s important to you, 

and keep remembering as you 

continue taking effective action.

 

If it seems way too overwhelming, 

start with just a tiny first step. 

If you’re not progressing fast enough,

 

use a little bit of innovation to leverage your 

efforts.

 

Achievement is one of life’s greatest adventures. 

You owe it to yourself to enjoy as much of it as you 

possibly can.

 

Set yourself a meaningful goal

 

and add some great new value to your world.

 

Make the commitment to start right now, 

and you’ll quickly find that there’s a way.
