“Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much.”

William Dempster Hoard - 1836-1918, Politician and Publisher

This quote is so true and I think most of our government top brasses fail the test:

Abraham Lincoln

Negative people can keep you in poverty, by their comments. Yet the wealthy don’t listen to the negative comments of others. They see their goals and have done their homework. In the same way, when you learnt about Be Motivated Today, you realized that it could work. You read credible testimonies of people who are succeeding. You set some goals and you got started.

Does it sometimes feel that everything is getting too much?

Does it feel as if you just cannot find solutions for your problems?

Sometimes you have to schedule time alone for you to think. You must do this without TV, radio, music or anybody around you.

Schedule at least 10 minutes per day when you take time to think. You will be amazed how much more organized each day will be.

When you don’t have distractions, you really do think more freely and creatively.  And that is important.  So why not schedule yourself some quiet reflection time today?

“You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.” – Anon

They say that worrying is like paying interest on money you have not borrowed.
So often we live in the past wishing we could change it, or worrying about the future with fear and trepidation.
So we miss the joy of the moment and in fact miss our life in the process.
Living in the moment means being present all day long. Taking time to enjoy things now. The sunsets, the falling leaves in the Autumn, snow capped mountains in the Winter, laughing children in the park. It means taking time in the moment to have fun. Having fun with colleagues, joking around and not being so serious all the time.

Dr Myles Munroe said that the wealthiest places in the world are not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They’re not the diamond mines of South Africa or the banks of the world. The wealthiest place on the planet is just down the road. It is the cemetery. There lie buried, companies that were never started, inventions that were never made, best selling books that were never written and masterpieces that were never painted.

In the cemetery is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential.

There is a treasure within you that must come out. It is your potential.
Don’t go to the grave with your treasure still within YOU
