“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”
- Goethe
(Note from Patrick: I think that there is a lot of truth in this quote. And it becomes even more powerful if you turn it on yourself! Imagine if you treated YOURSELF as if you are what you want to be!)
Yes, that's actually my heart
Earlier this week I had my annual check-up with my cardiologist. After the usual round of tests, they proclaimed that my heart is still just as confusing as it has ever been – AND that it continues to defy the odds and remains strong!
Later that day, I posted news about this as my Facebook status. (Hey, if you aren’t friends with me on Facebook yet…) I was touched by the response! Many of the people who “liked” my status or commented on it were people that I don’t actually talk to on a regular basis, yet they took a moment to let me know that they were happy to hear of my continued good health.
I think this is a great lesson for us all. Yes, we should absolutely offer thoughts and prayers for people who are sick or otherwise in need. But let’s not forget to take a moment to honor the healthy too! Right now, I want you to get in touch with someone you care about and let them know that you’re happy that they are alive and well and that they are in your life!
I guarantee that you’ll make their day… and yours too!
Do it – and then come back here and leave a comment to tell me how it went!
Read MoreThe next step is the most important step. Take it now. Do not wait.
Life is not going to come down there and sprinkle glitter dust on your shoulders to let you know that you are Good…or that you are walking the Right Path…or that you are making the Best Decision.
Take the next step. Right now. Stop waiting for a “sign” from the “gods.”
Your sign is your intuition, wrapped in your desire.
Read More“Why is this happening?” is the most useless question in the Universe.
The only really profitable question is, “What?” As in, “What do I choose now?” This question empowers.
The “why” question simply perplexes, and rarely satisfies even when it gets a good answer.
So don’t try to “figure it out.” Stop it. Just focus on what you now wish to create. Keep moving forward.
There’s nothing behind you that can possibly serve you better than your highest thoughts about tomorrow.
