Hello All My AdlandPro Friends and Family!
Small actions done consistently can yield big results. In less than one minute, you can read the message below for a positive tone for your entire day. The day to improve yourself, help others and be happy is TODAY. In this defining moment, you can make that choice. Set the example by being the example.
---------------------------------------------
Be Real
When it comes to your life, don't settle for an inferior imitation. Go with the real thing. Don't spend your time just staying busy when you can instead be actually accomplishing something. Don't settle for overindulgence when you can have real nourishment.
Rather than wasting your time trying to take from others, put your efforts into creating real value. Instead of merely keeping up appearances and pretending to be someone you're not, find ways to express the genuine, unique person you really are.
Why put your effort into cutting corners when that same effort can be invested in doing it right? Why settle for a cheap imitation of life when you can have the real thing?
Don't be content to envy others for what they've achieved when that same energy can be used to achieve for yourself. You deserve the best, and you have what it takes to make that happen.
Life is best when it is authentic. Insist on the real thing.
--------------------------------------------
Shine
Do something difficult, something that will stretch you, something that will take you past what you already knew you could do. Choose a challenge that requires time, effort, dedication and commitment, then see it through to completion.
The most valuable experiences are not those that come easy. The things that mean the most are the things into which you put the most of yourself.
If life seems too empty, invest more of yourself in it. Nothing brings fulfillment until you put yourself into it. That requires effort. And the more rigorous the effort, the more fulfillment it makes possible.
Imagine how absolutely invigorating it will be to look back with satisfaction on a difficult and challenging job well done. Imagine the extraordinary level of confidence with which you'll then be able to look to the future.
What a blessing it is that life can be such a challenge. For it is in working through those challenges that we truly shine.
---------------------------------------------
No Fear
What you fear most intensely and most persistently, you will likely create as a result of the energy and attention you give to it. If what you fear is mostly imagined, quickly let go of that fear before it makes itself real.
Listen to your fears and learn from them, but do not live with them for prolonged periods. Give your life's energy not to fear, but to your highest hopes, desires, dreams and positive possibilities.
Have respect for that which can harm you. Yet do not spend your life running from it or fighting against it.
Rather, spend your time moving quickly forward, running toward your dreams. Put your focus on the actions you can take to reach those dreams.
Then your fears will naturally recede into insignificance. And your dreams will come magnificently to life.
