Day 264 “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain I watched the last episode of aContinueContinue reading “Adventures”

Eye On The Prize
Day 259 “Your goals are closer than you think, stay focused, keep your eyes on the prize and follow your heart.” – Ricardo Housham I’ve said this many times, in many ways – believe in your vision, no matter what “reality” looks like, and if you keep the faith, it will manifest. I’ve been keeping aContinueContinue reading “Eye On The Prize”
Take The Plunge
Day 247 “Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.” – Steve Maraboli I needed some help to “jump off the cliff” as it were, on a decision that I’ve been teetering on, and, inContinueContinue reading “Take The Plunge”
Expect Good Things
Day 235 “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” – Abraham Lincoln Writing about the Olympic Creed reminded me of something I read long ago – an optimist’s creed.

Day 231 “You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all – the race to the egg. And now that you are a giant, why do you even doubt victory against smaller numbers and wider margins? The only walls that exist are thoseContinueContinue reading “Rohtak to Rio”
Represent Yourself
Day 230 “Champions are not the ones who always win races – champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. ‘Champion’ is a state of mind. They are devoted. They compete to best themselves as much if not more than theyContinueContinue reading “Represent Yourself”
Got Your Back
Day 228 “Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.” – Pete Carroll As the saying goes…It takes a village. Like I said in yesterday’s post, children need support and encouragementContinueContinue reading “Got Your Back”
Unstoppable
Day 227 “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.” – George Bernard Shaw An astrologer once told me that IContinueContinue reading “Unstoppable”
Role Models
Day 226 “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.” – James Baldwin Follow your bliss. I believe that’s what we’re all here to do, but figuring out what that is might be the most challenging part. Once you have figured out what you’re passionate about, you are naturallyContinueContinue reading “Role Models”
