“Travel light today in every sense of the word. Carry your light like a translucent backpack, ready to shine wherever you are. It’s the opposite of weight. It’s light. It weighs nothing. In fact it gives you strength transforming every burden with the light of compassion. Take with you only thoughts memories and beliefs that uplift and inspire you.” Soulseeds

“It is never too late to begin what we ought to do.”  Richard L. Evans

Start in this very moment with new eyes, a new voice.  It’s your choice.  If you choose, you can begin to celebrate the good and great things all around you — and oh, there are so many all around — you may even find you’ll lose count!  Ease yourself into it if you find it a bit uncomfortable — that’s okay too.  BREATHE!  Take a moment and enjoy it – it’s really a beautiful thing.  See the world through your new eyes and others will see you differently too.

“Be kind whenever possible.  It is always possible.”  Dalai Lama

You have started this journey of GREATNESS – and it doesn’t really matter WHERE you are, just that you keep moving forward.  BE in the moment.

Last evening I had the privilege of being with some wonderful friends.  Around the table, in the kitchen and  shared some stories of greatness with each other – paused and took in how blessed we really are to know that it really is possible to see that GREATNESS grows deeper and the connections stronger with those very small acts.

Share the stories, write the stories – be the stories!  Greatness grows!

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”  Dr. Wayne Dyer

Re-framing daily situations can turn your entire world from blank wall to a marvelous canvas of beauty  that can take you anywhere you want to go or the nowhere at all.  I enjoy seeing the pictures that grace a friend’s home – whether they’re family photos, artworks, or works of art by their children.  Even an empty frame on a wall or mantel piece allows you to breathe some Greatness into it — what will your choice be today?

“It is easier to be kind when you focus on a person’s heart rather than their behavior.”  Lee L Jampolsky

It says, “I believe in you.”

“Reality is what it is, and conditions are what they are. What you expect of yourself and you expect for yourself will strongly influence what you make of your reality.” Unknown

You may not be able to change the moment, but you can influence what happens from that point forward by what you choose to do with that moment forward.  Be grateful for what you do have – regardless of the circumstance.  Look around and then, move forward with the following phrase:

“From this point on, I choose the greatness of …………”

“Nothing happens unless first a dream.” Robert Frost

It’s never to late to have a dream — and never give up on them.  However, you have to act on them to make them come true.  All to often we pack them in a drawer and let them sit and stew, never do anything with them . . . today, take one of your dreams and act on it.  See where it leads you.  Set a goal; believe in YOU!  Make it happen! Keep your DREAMS alive!
