"Anyone can be a Chief Problem Finder. Leaders are Chief Problem Solvers. Inspired leaders fix the problem before it emerges."

Motivation is all about obtaining (the carrot or the stick). Inspiration is all about becoming. Motivation is temporary. Inspiration is eternal.

What are you grateful for right now, right here?

"I believe that things turn out best for those that make the best of the way things turn out."

As you consciously practice principles of gratitude, these acts of gratitude evolve into habits; as you nurture those habits, those habits evolve into traits that become your true character. Gratitude then becomes the light that unconsciously illuminates others, giving them the inspiration to do the same.

"By becoming the answer to someone's prayer, we often find the answers to our own."

"You cannot give all the good the world needs. But the world needs all the good you can give."

"Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for that one person."

"No misfortune is so bad that whining won't make it worse."

Change your language - change the world!

I have something I've wanted to tell you for some time.

My mom passed away Jan 4, 2015. But, she gave me the greatest advice just a few days ago. Hugs are the universal medicine!

“I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.”

"A plowed garden can't determine what it will grow. It simply waits for the seeds to be planted, eager to nourish them and turn them into the gardener's desire."

The subconscious mind makes no distinction between constructive and destructive thought impulses. It works with the material we feed it, through our thought impulses. The subconscious mind will translate into reality a thought driven by fear, just as readily as it will translate into reality a thought driven by courage or faith.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”

“We lived for days on nothing but food and water.”

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.”

Kindness has ripples that influence for decades, even centuries.
