AYD - rewind. And good morning

AYD - June 13, 2014 - Planning or Reacting

"Both Optimists and Pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute."
- Gil Stern

Do you make your plans with more focus on growth and feelings of achievement, or do you make your plans to handle the worst case scenario and consequence?

When you build your yellow brick road, do you stall the project to engineer the escape path off to the side for the "just in case" ?

It is perfectly fine to be careful, and consider consequence. Especially if we have the well being of others to consider; like our family and home. We simply need to ensure that for our progressive forward momentum to that great potential of compounding "success", that we put the ratio of our energies much higher in the favor of Soaring upward to the wonderful unknown Success stars, and much lower on the floating down - "oh crap this could really hurt" landing.

Good morning, greater day.
Greater you ... might just build an airplane.

Awaken Your Day - June 12, 2017 - Say Thanks

"Behind every great man there is a surprised woman."
- Maryon Pearson

Someone helped you to this level of happiness in your life.
Probably alot of someones. Think of one. Think of two.

Take a moment to honour them today. With a thought, a smile, a hug and a Thank You. Say it to the heavens, say it on the phone or drop them a text just to put it out there.

"Thanks! Your support helped me get here."

Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You - with help along the way.

AYD - throwback to last year as I am awakening my yard work. Have a wonderful day- because you have that choice.

Awaken Your Day - June 7, 2016 - Recognize

"There's only few people who have the strength to honor someone's achievement without envy."
- Aeschylus.

Let's be honest, I don't know who Aeshcylus is. And his actual quote might look more like this " It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered."
So while I don't know him. I like what he says. And it had me thinking...about some good friends who are great people and who have achieved great success - inspiring success - and that I do not envy them for it - rather I admire the qualities in them that helped them attain that success.
Inspired by their hard work, focus, determination and drive. And the positive outlook all along the way.

You have these people in your life. Spend a moment today letting their success inspire how you approach your day and maybe your own actions. Couldn't hurt could it. But ask yourself if are one of the few who can avoid envy and pay more attention to the footsteps these inspiring people leave for us to follow.

Good morning, greater day. Greater you ... with some greatness around you.

Awaken Your Day - June 7, 2017 - Oh boy! Did I ever ...

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."
- Mae West

I often encourage you to reflect on the life and times that taught and brought you here.
So, mid week ... water cooler story time. Reflect back and think about some highlight reel things you have done. Shake your head things, " Wow! I did that !" things, "Oh we were a little wild" things... and of course, "My Mom still doesn't know!" things.

Live a little moment of a time you really LIVED a little moment.

If you could do some of that stuff ... well then, what might you get away with today?

 Good morning. Greater Day. Greater You - remembering an adventurous you.
