Stop and Remember

When you are tempted to stray off track, stop and take a moment to consider where you're going. Remember why you originally began traveling the path you're on.

When the many distractions of life put you in danger of losing focus, stop and give yourself an opportunity to regain clarity. Remember the depth of passion with which you first started your journey.

When it seems that nothing is going your way, stop and make some time to adjust your perspective. Recall how far you've already come, and remind yourself that positive actions will indeed have positive, valuable results.

When you find that you've grown weary, stop and give yourself a real, refreshing, well-deserved break. Then you can jump back into the effort with a renewed vigor and sense of purpose.

When you feel that you've lost faith in the goodness of life, stop and look around you. Offer your genuine help to someone in need, and you'll find that your heart is soon being healed.

When you find yourself too caught up in the frustrations that surround you, stop and remember the treasures you value most deeply. And you'll reconnect to the incredible abundance that is your life.

Are YOU Staying In Control??

Compared to most endeavors, controlling yourself is relatively simple and easy. And when you're able to control your own thoughts, words and actions, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.

To control yourself requires no other person's permission, cooperation or assistance.
To control yourself requires no special knowledge, skill or equipment.

What it does require is a compelling reason. When the reason why is meaningful enough, you will have no trouble finding the will and the means to control your own life.

That's why it is so important to have a clear sense of where you intend to go and why. Connecting with your purpose will keep you in control, and staying in control will carry you to achievement.

There is a purpose within you that is stronger than the temptations and distractions. There is a solid, meaningful reason that will compel you to carefully and effectively control all that you do.

The more fully you know and express that purpose, the more surely and reliably you'll be in control. And the more completely you exercise control over yourself, the higher your life will rise.

This Powerful Moment....

There is enormous power in this moment. The more fully you experience what is here right now, the more that power is available to you.

Are you angry or bitter, disappointed or resentful about what has happened in the past? Then much of the power of this moment will be out of your reach.

Are you anxious and worried about something that may or may not happen in the future? Then you will miss out on the opportunity to create real and lasting value from this powerful moment you are in.

Imagine that everything you are, everything you know, everything you care about, is focused into this very moment. And feel the enormous power of what you can, right here and now, do with it all.

Rise above the murky fog of what could have been and what someday might or might not come to pass. Focus the whole of your being on what is, and on the overflowing abundant opportunities this moment presents to you.

There is great and wonderful power in this very moment, in who you are, in where you are right now. See it, be it, and let yourself live it fully.

RSD Tip Of The Day!

Help 'YOU' Feel Better!

When you are feeling down, focus your thoughts on this question:

"What can I do that would help me feel better?"

Instead of filling your mind with doubt, self-pity, resentment, regret, and despair, fill it with thoughts and plans for moving positively forward. There is something that will take your focus off of whatever has already happened and direct your thoughts firmly towards the best of what can be.

Pay no attention to how you are suppose to feel or how you expected to feel. Decide for yourself how good you would like to feel, and then take the steps that will get you there.

It will likely be much easier than you think. Then once you choose to feel better, it quickly begins to happen. It sounds too simple to be true, I know, but it works with surprising and delightful effectiveness. When you decide to help yourself feel better....you will!!

So, What can you do that will help you feel better? You are just moments away from making it happen!

"The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under it's roof!"
~Barbara Kingsolver

Believe in Yourself

Believe in yourself -- in the power you have
to control your own life, day by day,

Believe in the strength that you have deep inside,
and your faith will help show you the way.

Believe in tomorrow and what it will bring --
let a hopeful heart carry you through,

For things will work out if you trust and believe
there's no limit to what you can do.
