Have you had a morning, where you wake up, and all is good? Just nice routine good. No bad weather coming...no negative anticipation...no big plans, no new adventures. A morning, like a blank canvas. Just waiting but not expecting.
The day is yours to create, we say that alot. And so...this morning as I walk thru thoughts, all I find is a clean, uninfluenced canvas. No desire for any particular color, or any picture taking shape.
So with that, I would like to start the day with simply a nice thought, that may guide your brush. Good morning, and may it be, precisely what you need.
"When I was young, my ambtion was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better for my having been here. It's a wonderful life and I love it."
- Jim Henson, from his book It's Not Easy Being Green and Other Things to Consider
Good morning, great day. Great you, and a better day for everyone else.
Pierre Couturier
Happy Husband, Proud Daddy, and Author.... and just letting the day show me it's colors.

AYD - April 16, 2013 - Self Test Tuesday
"While I believe in the power of positive thought, I do not believe that you or I can simply psyche ourselves into success or peace of mind.”
- Stephen Covey
I believe that with Positive Thought comes great things. Those great things, come from a chain reaction, started by continuous, consistent, positive energy and outlook. Find the lesson in everything. Pay it forward for your benefit and the ripple effect reaches out that benefit to touch others.
I believe that consistant positive approach, helps you to adopt it ( positivity) as habit and part of your personality. As this becomes part of you, the impression on you and within you becomes deeper and more permanent. The more it is part of you, the more you leave that mark on others like a sunrise. This positive feel, this looked forward to personality, arrives with you, as part of you, and as something people are drawn to. You are laying the foundation, and it is expanding.
So... all of this I believe starts from consistant positive expression and frame of mind. Now... it does not just give you success, and it does not just give you peace of mind. Now you have to act, as you think.
Put your positive energy into action. Let the energy lead you. Procrastination leaves the door open behind it when Positive Belief comes by for a visit. Part of the Chain Reaction....but you must take the next step.
I am much more positive than I used to be. I will give myself credit for that...as should you. I am taking action in some ways... but admittedly I can do more. I recognize this.
The difference today is that in the past, I would have admitted I was not happy with my lack of success. I would have admitted I had myself to blame. And then I would have wasted alot of energy focussed on the blame and the woulda, shoulda, coulda game.
Self Test Tuesday. Can you ask yourself how Positive you are in your day? Do you see things on the half full or half empty side of perspective? Can you see a place to tip the balance for the better?
How do you change the world? With one simple act of Kindness at a time. How do we change our results...start with one positive thought...and let it tell two friends...and then they touch two friends...and so on and so on....until, frame of mind naturally takes you by the hand and you act positive in alignment with your thoughts.
Wow...I can positively tell you that this did not come out the way it was supposed to.
Just go think a good thought and see where it takes you.
Good morning, Great day. Great you, a better day for everyone else.

AYD - April 15, 2013 - Wisdom Surrounds You
"A simple conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study."
- Chinese Proverb
I love simple.
Simple messages that are true and don't need more explaining.
Simple mornings that begin well, and then compound the goodness.
Simple Mondays that are a beginning rather than a dread.
Simple smiles that do not need to be questioned.
Simple moments of genuine laughter with a child, that help me keep in touch with perspective and value.
I have tripped over many websites like ours recently...all promoting success and action. All true.
Sometimes, however, I get a little overwhelmed with all the true, and valuable information to soak up and try to follow.
Sometimes, I need a simple moment to relax and not pressure myself.
Sometimes, I need to learn again how to relax.
A simple conversation with a wise man... I have been blessed to have many around me. From all walks of life, from all levels of success. I have a strong suspicion that you do as well.
Enjoy a moment, thinking of and identifying your "wise" team in your life. Think of something you want to do, and match it up with one of these wise people who are quite often, searching for an opportunity to help you. If you do not know anyone for that topic... find someone. Ask. Share your desire, and they will share their wisdom.
A wise man appreciates passion in you. They see it coming a mile away.
Good morning , Great day. Great you, a better day for others.

AYD - April 11, 2013 - There is only one You.
"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
- Judy Garland
As we grow and mature,or in some cases I guess - immature, we show signs of things we have picked up along our journey. Personality traits, habits, attitudes. We get these after market add ons from a wide variety of influences. People in our lives that left and impression. Lessons learned from hard or very joyful experiences.
Let us be careful, that in trying to find our identity, our shape, or footprint among many, that we do not totally become a walking product of only external influences. A pop star's choice of clothes, a popular television program showing us what is funny, or the trends telling us what is cool to listen to for music.
Part of what makes all these things fresh, is putting your own mark on it all. You see something that is popular, like a new sport...and then you see how it evolves so that the sport is still there, but people are thinking outside that box and presenting a twist...a new idea and always their intention is grow...to expand.
Be the thinker, and apply a little First-Rate You to things you like. Try not to simply mimic the path you see before you.
Have a great day, being in touch with what makes you different from the Billions of Hamburgers Sold.
Good morning, great day. Great you, a better day for everyone else.
