Mistakes Are Gifts In Disguise
Marlene
You can learn a lot from mistakes; we all make them. How would life be different if you could see the gifts each error brings to you?
Some mistakes cause us to say, "I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Please forgive me." Other errors come with lessons on what to do and what to eliminate next time.
Choices, opportunities, inspiration, and lessons? Yes, they are included for motivation to try again and keep trying, regardless of how many times we misstep. Remember, we are human, and we are prone to errors. That's how we learn; that's how we live. Don't let the fear of a mistake hold you back. Open your arms to it and go!
KINDNESS
You Are A Magnet
Marlene
Right now, you have within you everything you will need as you navigate your way through life. Yes, you are a magnet and must do your part. You use some of your talents and gifts frequently, yet your other strengths await you to take action, to bring them into the light.
The Universe always sees the distance between where you are and where you want to be. The question is: Do you have plans to get there?
Surprisingly, most people do have plans, yet, they can't seem to follow through each day to ensure victory.
Reading positive books for personal development, attending webinars and seminars, and creating to-do lists are helpful. The proper training, coaching, or counseling may lead to the breakthroughs you've been searching for. The process is different for everyone. Keep an open mind; if you get stuck, help is always available. All you have to do is ask.

Today It's Your Turn!
Marlene
Today isn't just another day in the hustle; it's your turn to shine amid the ordinary.
Picture this: you're not just a professional navigating the business realm but the protagonist in your extraordinary story. Balancing work, family, and everything in between is no small feat, but today, the narrative takes an unexpected turn.
There's an air of anticipation in the boardroom or at the kitchen table. What's going to make today stand out?
It might be a game-changing decision at work, a heartwarming family moment, or an uncharted adventure. The beauty lies in the unpredictability of it all.
How about adding a sprinkle of inspiration to your routine today? Share a positive quote or a motivational story with your family during that homemade dinner. It adds a touch of encouragement to your day and might uplift their spirits.
You've got this dual role of provider and motivator, and weaving a bit of positivity into the daily grind could make it all the more meaningful.
So, step into the spotlight, savor the moment, and let the ordinary transform into something remarkable.
Life's grandest stories often unfold when we least expect them, and today, the script is in your hands.
So, go ahead, make today uniquely yours!

The Power Of What-If
Marlene
I find it intriguing how pondering "What-If" scenarios regarding our past decisions can transport us back in time, keeping us anchored in the past rather than the present moment. This phenomenon is worth recognizing because it emphasizes the crucial role of mindfulness and living in the now.
When we dwell too much on what might have been, we miss out on the beauty and potential of what currently is. The past is an invaluable teacher, but it's not a place to set up permanent residence. Embracing the present allows us to make the most of the opportunities right in front of us and shape a better future.

Pursue Wisdom
Each day is filled with a hundred choices and decisions, and wisdom is our best guide. Wisdom comes from three places – experience, learning and our deepest intuition. Each day is an opportunity to gather and use all three.
Experience comes from engaging with life, learning comes from observing, and intuition comes from listening to myself. At the end of the day sit down and write down what was the main experience, what did I learn and what did I hear…from myself? You did listen to yourself…didn’t you? |

Power On
Each day we all need to recharge our spiritual battery, otherwise the light of our consciousness becomes dim, thoughts become fuzzy, and decisions are impregnated with doubt.
Power is available inside and outside. Inside us we have a spiritual centre, at the core of our consciousness, pure radiant spiritual light. This is what we are. However it is now blocked by our attachments, the record of all our life experiences and many learned beliefs and perceptions. Outside us we have the sun of spirit, the source, invisible to our physical eyes but only one second away when we are able to quieten and focus our mind.
Meditation connects us to both sources of power – that’s why meditation is the way to access the real vitamins and the minerals that spirit craves. The vitamin of pure love and the minerals of truth and wisdom.
Take time to empower yourself today. Sit quietly and connect your mind to each source and allow yourself to recharge and renew. |

Positive Energy
When someone lightens up your life just by their presence, you can be sure they are emitting a very positive energy. When someone puts a damper on the meeting or a conversation, you can be sure there is some hidden inner baggage which contains sorrow and darkness. Which do you bring to the party? A little light or a little dark? A lot of optimism or a little pessimism?
In olden days, before one switch could illuminate a whole city, one candle had to be lit by another. So if you are aware that you are carrying a little darkness, perhaps it may be useful to spend time with someone whose inner light is already lit, and stays lit in all circumstances. Eventually we may learn the art ourselves, and then serve as a candle to others.

Fishing For The Moon
One evening, a man went to fetch some water from the well. To his surprise, when he looked into the well, he found the sunken moon shining in the well.
“Oh, good heavens, what a pity! The beautiful moon has dropped into the well!”
So he dashed home for a hook and tied it with a rope to his bucket, then he put it into the well to fish for the moon.
After some time, the man was pleased to find that something was caught on the hook. He must have thought it was the moon. He pulled hard on the rope. Due to the excessive pulling, the rope broke and he fell flat on his back.
Taking advantage of that new position, the man saw the moon high in the sky. He sighed, “Aha, it finally went back to its place! What a good job!”
He felt very happy and proudly told whomever he met about this wonderful accomplishment.

Truly, there is nothing you must do. Stop. Breathe deeply and slowly. Choose to put your own inner peace first. Then choose to work on what is most important to you, rather than that which appears most urgent.

Life
With the lurking of death and deceit around every corner, it is difficult to stay hopeful and optimistic throughout life. It will get better, if you are not at the place or frequency you want you can change it. You are the master of your life, no one else. True others can effect your life, but only with your permission. So don't be a victim of your circumstances be a victor of your survival.

Ten Little Tips to Feel Happier Right Now
1. Smile. Raise the corners of your mouth. Soon your smile will become genuine. The smile that begins as an effort and a pretense quickly grows to become genuine, and given time, a habit of happiness. In the words of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
2. Breathe deeply and slowly. Focus your entire attention on each in-breath and out-breath. Imagine drawing new clean energy in through the top of your head on each in-breath, and expelling old stale energy out the soles of your feet on each out-breath.
3. Take a quiet walk by yourself. Focus on each step and on your breathing. As stray thoughts enter your mind, thank each one, and quickly release the thought and return to a focus on your breathing and your steps.
4. Count your blessings. Make a gratitude list. You have thousands of reasons to be thankful. Be thankful for those who serve you. Make a list of those you depend upon. Everyone has many people who help along the way. Don't forget those who grow and deliver your food, keep your electricity and telephone running, provide emergency medical care, and protect the safety of your community and your nation.
5. Forgive someone for something right now. Release the resentment and anger. This practice is for you to become happier. Telling the other person that you forgive them is completely optional, and is merely a bonus.
6. Stretch your body. Do yoga, do qigong, or just stand and stretch. As a simple stretch, stand and hold your arms out to your sides forming a cross. Gently bend each hand back at the wrist until the fingers point straight upward. Twist each hand and arm in a wringing motion as if you were operating a screwdriver.
7. Turn on happy music and dance. Don't stop 'til you're tired. Dance with someone or dance all by yourself. Choose music that makes you want to move and keep moving such as Latin Fitness Dance music.
8. Spend some time with a furry friend. If you don't have your own, borrow a cat or dog to love today.
9. Be of service. Find someone who has worse troubles than you and do something nice for them today.
10. Have a conversation with God (or whatever you call your Higher Power). Approach the conversation with an attitude of gratitude rather than neediness.

Aging With Grace by Dr. David Mokotoff
by Dr. David Mokotoff
I asked my office staff to pull the number of patients I had seen in the past year over the age of 90. I had assumed that maybe I had a couple dozen nonagenarians, but was stunned when the number came back at 81. And two of those were over the age of 100. The personality of these folks has always fascinated me, and I was looking for a common thread. Did they get to this age because of luck, clean living, great medical care, or good genetic background? In the end, I have concluded that it is largely serendipity. However, what I did learn in listening to them, two or three times a year, was mostly a non-complaining, victimless view of life. For the most part, they had aged with grace.
One man who I recently saw, age 95, responded to my question, “So how are you feeling?” with the following: “I have some aches and pains, you know, but at my age, everyday is a bonus.” This is an attitude that I rarely hear out of my patients in their seventh and eight decades.
Another delightful woman, who will turn 105 in October, has an intact mind and touch of humor. Every time I see her for during a semi-annual visit, her first words, given from a mischievous half-smile, are “Are you surprised that I’m still here?” In truth, I am not surprised, but stunned. With the degree of her heart disease, and by all objective parameters, she should have died ten years ago.
This solidified my belief that one never really knows when they will die. Several years, two of my colleagues died in their fifties during a horrific private plane crash in North Carolina. So when my very elderly patients ask, “Will I see you next time?” meaning “Will I live another six months?” I answer, “I don’t know if I will be here in another six months.” This places the value of living one day at a time in perspective for them.
It seems to me that for many of those lucky enough to reach 90, they appreciate life more than the rest of us. For the most part, they approach life with optimism, gratitude, and grace. Maybe this is why they got to this station in life after all.

Who Is Responsible For Your Life?
The Great News ... It's YOU!
For anyone who dislikes when others tell you what to do, here's your chance to take responsibility for yourself and your life. You get to set the direction and requirements for where you will be going and what you will need to take with you.
Think about this ... your journey will take you to many beautiful places, including a look inside yourself. What will you see? What questions will you ask yourself? One might be: Am I living a happy, joyful, loving, and kind life right now? If you are, that's wonderful. If you need to improve in certain areas, that's great too.
Discovery and responsibility go hand-in-hand, just like an archeologist. Once a treasure is discovered, it must be decided what to do with it. That's the responsibility part. Do you keep the discovery hidden away, tell no one about it, and seldom look at it? Or do you look at it in the light, examine it for any damage, then make plans to showcase it?
Your life can be anything you want it to be; take a leap and go! It might feel scary at first and that' okay. You will get better each time you make a new move.

Factors That Lead To Success
The Power Of Significance
Most people want to be successful. But how you attain it is important. According to an article written by Courtney Lukitsch, CEO and Founder of Gotham PR,
"At this important moment in time, as we move forward into a new world of work and innovation, we're presented with a unique opportunity to focus on significance in everything we do as industry leaders."
- Significance is sustainable success.
- Without social engagement, success is not as significant. (To me, it's just old-school self-aggrandizement.)
- Significance is mission-driven, with other people and the world in mind.
- Significance is values-driven and valuable.
In addition, "The quality of being worthy of attention is perhaps the most important issue of our time and is at the very core definition of significance. As an industry leader writing a book on this topic, I'm exploring the factors that led my clients over the past two decades to become successful — by creating significance at home and in businesses around the globe.
