Value Your life has an immense and unique value. And you can choose to make that value even greater. Your life is overflowing with possibilities. And you can choose to expand those possibilities even more. Your life is filled with unique opportunities that have never existed before. And you can choose to transform them into grand achievements that set the stage for even greater opportunities. There is much you have to work with. And there is no limit to what you can do. For you are alive, able to think, to dream, to plan, to act, to learn and adapt, to create and to grow. And deep within it all is a purpose, a meaning, a passion that you are driven to express and fulfill. Stay connected to that passion, keep listening to that purpose, for there is so much that your life has to offer and fulfill. You are filled with unique value, and the more fully you live it, the greater it grows. ****************************************** Change Somewhere in your life right now there is a small, positive change you can make in the way you live each day. When you make that small change, and stick with it, the results can profoundly influence your entire world. Perhaps it's a destructive habit that you can choose to leave behind forever. Or maybe it's a useful action that you can add to your daily routine. It could be something as simple as choosing to start each day with a smile instead of with a complaint. Or you could identify something that has always made you angry and just decide that you're not going to let it get to you anymore. Your life is filled with opportunities for making small, positive changes. When you look for them, you'll see those opportunities in every direction. Even one small change can have a large positive impact on your life because the benefits of that small change are repeated day after day. Keep adding more small, positive changes from time to time, and the results can be truly incredible. Give yourself the gift today of a small positive change in your life. And continue to enjoy the rewards you receive far into the future. ****************************************** Quality You won't get very far by spending every day doing every single thing you can cram into your schedule. Instead of striving to always be busy, or occupied, or entertained, seek to be effective and fulfilled. Let go of the need to tightly schedule one hurried activity after the next. If you put all your energy into spinning your wheels, the main thing you get is exhaustion. It is far more fulfilling to do a few things well than it is to do lots and lots of things in a frenzied rush. Indeed, the richness of life is in the doing, and not in the tally of what you have done. When you're constantly jumping from one thing to the next, it doesn't really matter how much you're able to accomplish. For none of those hurried accomplishments will bring you very much meaningful value. Instead, slow down, be selective, thoughtful and fully focused. Out of your many possibilities, choose only the very best ones and give quality time to those. Savor each moment and each task rather than rushing quickly to what's next. Fill your days with quality time, and those days will be rich indeed Marilyn L. Ali
