Words of Wisdom and Observations on Life:

1.) You’ll discover that real love is millions of miles past falling in love with anyone or anything. When you make that one effort to feel compassion instead of blame or self-blame, the heart opens again and continues opening.

2.) Being vulnerable doesn’t have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest. This opens the door to deeper communication all around. It creates self-empowerment and the kind of connections with others we all want in life. Speaking from the heart frees us from the secrets that burden us. These secrets are what make us sick or fearful. Speaking truth helps you get clarity on your real heart directives.

3.) As you sincerely go for deeper levels of love, the results you’ll have in well-being and increased quality of life will motivate you,leading you to a wider dimensional awareness. The results are so rewarding you can easily develop a passion for self-management.

4.) Self-empowerment - that’s learning to respect other people’s music, but dance to your own tune as you master harmony within yourself.

Thoughts To Ponder:

1.) There is no need for you ever to be envious or to feel unworthy. Your life is filled with possibility. Where you are right now is insignificant, when compared to where you’re going. Point yourself in the direction of your dreams, and every step along the way is golden.

2.) The best gift you can give is yourself. Your time. Your attention. Your companionship, your patience, your thoughtfulness,your compassion,your understanding, your encouragement, your guidance, your love.

3.) In all the rush to give just the right item, add value by adding the gift of yourself. It will make a major difference in the worth of the gift that is received. Give the best you have to give — you!

4.) Kindness doesn’t mean that you should let people take advantage of you. Kindness doesn’t mean that you should ‘be indulgent or permissive. In fact, many times the kindest thing you can do is to be firm with someone, out of concern for their well being. As in “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.” Kindness is strength and
confidence.

5.) From the moment you’re born, life is a learning and growing experience. Today you are more intelligent than you were yesterday.Today you are more mature than yesterday. Today you are more caring, more loving, more effective than ever before. You have grown and you continue to grow every day. The poor judgment you exercised yesterday is in the past, and you are the wiser for it.

Daily Humor:

Three Wishes

A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, “if you release me from this trap, I will grant you 3 wishes.” The woman freed the frog. The frog said, “Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes — whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!”

The woman said, “That would be okay.”

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, “You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that
women will flock to.”

The woman replied, “That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me.”

So, KAZAM — she’s the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, “That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you.”

The woman said, “That will be okay because what’s mine is his and what’s his is mine.”

So, KAZAM — she’s the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish and she answered, “I’d like a mild heart attack.”

Moral of the story: Women are clever — don’t mess with them.
