The Most Wonderful Time

Monday, December 14, 2009

It is the most wonderful time of the year.

It is the time when we reflect on all that we have and all that is good in the world.

It is the time of year when we allow ourselves to see the world through the eyes of children.

It is the time when we turn our hearts toward those in need and those less fortunate.

It is the time where we stand in awe of the free gift of life we have each been given.

It is the most wonderful time of the year if we allow it to be.

Turn your attention toward all that you have and all that is good and enjoy and appreciate the free gift of life.

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

-Kirk L. Miller, The Authentic Way

Faith

Friday, December 11, 2009

Faith is required in order to live the life you have envisioned.

You must have faith to keep going when all seems hopeless.

Faith is a matter of holding strong to your highest vision even when the world around you is telling you how foolish you are.

Faith is doing all that you can in your own power and strength, then relying on a power beyond yourself to do what you cannot do.

Have faith in yourself.

Have faith in your vision.

Have faith in a higher power.

Faith is the missing ingredient.

The Daily Grind

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Some days it's simply a daily grind.

Many times we find ourselves engaged in the same activities over and over.

Many jobs consist of repetitious and mundane tasks that must be done each and every day.

It all comes down to our perspective and what we are truly committed to achieving.

We must keep our eye on the big picture.

In most cases it is the consistent daily activities engaged in again and again that will lead us to where we really want to go.

Stay committed and focused on the end result you are trying to accomplish and the daily grind becomes a simple part of the process.

Perspective

Monday, December 7, 2009

Perspective is what makes all the difference in the circumstances of your life.

Do you have it better than most or worse? Harder or easier? It depends on your perspective.

Your perspective will determine how you see it.

Perspective allows you to step back and see everything from the bigger picture.

Your life is but a small blip on the radar in the big perspective of things. Yet to you it is huge.

At the same time, your life is what you are here for and you must live it to the fullest and keep it in perspective.

Perspective is everything.

Focus On Today

Thursday, December 3, 2009

It is easy to become overwhelmed by everything that is coming at you.

Instead of getting bogged down and distracted by everything that lies ahead, focus on today.

Focus on today alone.

Focus on what you need to accomplish in this twenty-four hour window and let the rest go for now.

Focus on the activities that you must do today that lead to your goal.

All you can do is make the best of this small window of opportunity called today.

Focus on today and the rest will take care of itself.

Stay On Course

Tuesday, December 2, 2009

As you move toward your goals and the life you have envisioned, there will be obstacles and challenges that cross your path.

Stay on course.

Life will be full of days that attempt to derail your best efforts.

Stay on course.

You have worked so hard to get to where you are. You have planned your steps, set your goals and taken action.

Stay on course.

If one day takes you off your path, don't give up and quit.

Stay on course. You will eventually reach your destination if you just stay on course.

Gratitude

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

What you are grateful for expands in your life.

Being grateful for that which we already have is the key to receiving more of the abundance that is available to each of us.

How can we hope and expect for more, when we forget to appreciate all that we already have and the many gifts which already surround us?

Take a look around and realize the many things which you have been blessed with and make it a point to express gratitude for all that you have.

This gratitude only opens the door for more of these things to grow and expand in your life.

Take a moment today to reflect on the abundant blessings that surround you and express your gratitude and watch them grow.

Be Grateful

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Be grateful for all that you have in your life at this very moment. No matter what your circumstances or situation may be, there is so much to be grateful for.

It isn't difficult if you look for reasons to be grateful. As you begin to focus on what you are grateful for at this moment, something wonderful begins to happen. You will begin to find more and more things in your life to appreciate and be grateful for. It keeps expanding.

Being grateful does not require that everything be going your way. As a matter of fact, you can be grateful even in the worst of times.

Looking at all that you have to be grateful for may just be the key that turns your situation around.

Be grateful today for everything in your life and see where it may take you.

It's Not What Happens

Monday, November 23, 2009

It's not what happens to you that really matters, but how you respond and what you choose to do about it that makes all the difference.

Many people have great opportunities handed to them, are given wonderful advantages in life, yet end up not doing much with them.

Others, on the other hand, come with no advantages whatsoever, facing one setback after another, and achieve things most of us only imagine.

What is the difference?

The difference is not in what happens to them, but in how they choose to respond to what happens.

We all have the same choice.

It's not about what happens, but what we do about it.

Don't Let Up

Friday, November 20, 2009

You are now taking steps and moving forward toward your greatest goals and aspirations.

Don't let up.

You have begun to develop your own pace and found the joy of daily, consistent actions moving you toward your goal

Do not let up.

Keep your pace and continue your rhythm, but don't let up.

Keep working your plan which is taking you in the direction of the goals you have set and don't let up.

No matter what. Now is not the time to let up.

You have come this far. Keep going.

Work Your Plan

Thursday, November 19, 2009

With each new day, plan your work and work your plan.

Determine your plan and commit to it and work your plan.

Without a vision or dream, there is no need for a plan. Now that you have your goal and vision, commit to a plan that is going to get you there.

Day in and day out, stick to your plan.

Without sticking to a plan, we find ourselves off track and diverging from our goal.

Determine YOUR own plan for yourself, but then work your plan.

By working your plan instead of someone else's, you will reach the life you have envisioned for yourself.

Find Your Rhythm

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Once you have your goal or dream in mind and you being taking consistent steps toward that goal, find your rhythm.

No one can determine your own rhythm but you.

Find your rhythm, set your pace and run your own race.

Forget about what others say or what others may do.

Run your own race at your own pace.

Find your rhythm and get into that pace and keep moving forward.

With each new day, keep with your own rhythm and focus on your goal, not someone else's.

It is your dream, your goal, your plan, and you must find the cadence of your own rhythm.

Consistent Action

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

"Success is constancy to action."

Consistent and daily action toward that which you most want to achieve is the most certain way to accomplish your dreams.

A dream or a goal without any action will ultimately lead to frustration and discouragement.

Many people who succeeded in reaching their goals and dreams were not smarter or more talented. They were simply consistent.

To achieve what you most aspire to in life does not require anything more of you than for you to simply be clear about where you are heading.

From there you must simply make sure that you take consistent action steps each and every day in the direction of your goal.

If you do this, you will most certainly achieve it.

Small Steps

Monday, November 16, 2009

from The Authentic Way by Kirk L. Miller

Small steps taken consistently in the direction of your greatest goals and aspirations will ultimately get you there.

Each day you must think about your goals and what you are trying to accomplish and make sure that you take at least one or two small steps in that direction.

By doing this each day you are sure to reach your destination, either sooner or later.

Being successful or reaching a goal is not about doing large things in big way, but lies in doing those small things each and every day until you reach your goal.

Today is a brand new day.

Make sure you take some small steps toward your dream.

Make It Real

Friday, November 13, 2009

Whatever you have envisioned, make it real.

Whatever you have hoped for, make it real.

All of the groundwork has been laid. You have imagined your ideal future in your mind.

You have created a vision for your best life.

You have committed to who you want to become as a person.

Now go make it real.

Making it real is simply a matter of putting one foot in front of the other and making sure that each step leads in the direction of your most cherished dreams.

You have come so far.

Now make it real.

Before It Happens

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Before it happens, you must first make the decision to go for it.

Before it happens, you must see it in your mind.

Before anything happens, you must first decide, then create it in your mind, then act on it.

Everything you hope to create and achieve must first take place in your mind before it happens.

Once you have done this, you must simply act on it and move forward.

You hold your future in your hands, before it happens.

In Your Mind

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Whatever you believe you can or cannot do in life is ultimately all in your mind.

Who you become and what you determine your life will be about begins in your mind.

In your mind is where the battle lies.

There is nothing stopping you but you. There is nothing in your way but that which you perceive as an obstacle.

It is all in your mind.

The battle will be won or lost in your own mind.

Realize that you and only you can decide what is possible for yourself.

It is all in your mind.

See It

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Whatever you hope to accomplish, make sure that you can see it.

If you have a goal that you are reaching for, you must be able to see it in your mind before you can achieve it.

Seeing it first and holding on to that vision is key to accomplishing whatever you set out to accomplish.

Think of your biggest goal or dream.

Can you see it in your mind? Can you see yourself achieving or becoming it?

Whatever you can see as being possible you must hold clearly in your mind.

Only then can you begin to achieve it.

It Begins

Monday, November 9, 2009

It begins in your mind.

It begins with an idea, a thought, or a goal.

Whatever you hope to accomplish or create all begins inside your head.

Once you have a vision of what you want to accomplish firmly etched in your mind, solidify that goal.

Lock it in and keep it there.

Now that you have a clear picture of what you want to accomplish or become, put it in writing. This is your commitment to it.

Now you have taken a huge step toward making your goal happen.

Finally, you must begin it.

Finish Strong

Friday, November 6, 2009

Whatever you have started, finish strong.

Whatever goal you have set for yourself, see it through to the end.

Finish strong.

Most people start, but never finish.

Make sure you not only see through what you've begun, but finish strong.

Everything you have done and worked for won't add up to much unless you finish strong.

You have done the hard part. You have stayed the course.

Now finish strong.

Persistence

Thursday, November 5, 2009

Ultimately the one who succeeds is the one with the most persistence.

It is rarely the one with the most skill or talent, but many times the person who held on the longest.

Persistence is required to reach your ultimate goal, whatever it may be.

Persistence is the key to making it all the way to the finish line.

Without persistence, there are too many challenges that will tempt you to give up on your goal.

Too many obstacles on your path.

Persist and you will ultimately reach your destination.

What You Can Achieve

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

What you can achieve is ultimately up to you and no one else.

What you can achieve and who you become is really just a matter of what you decide and commit to.

If you are waiting for someone else to tell you what you can do, you will forever be waiting.

The most important decision you can ever make is who you are going to be and what you are going to do with the time you have here.

No one else can make that decision for you and most people never make it. They simply go with whatever happens and are then disappointed with where they end up.

Decide for yourself what you can achieve and commit yourself to it.

You will be amazed with the results.

Reach For It

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Whatever you can envision, reach for it.

Whatever you can see yourself doing at your very best, step forward and reach for it.

Most of what you want and hope to achieve is outside of your current comfort zone.

You must be willing to step out of what is currently comfortable and reach for what you truly want.

If what you dreamed of and wanted most were easy, you would be there now.

The people who have reached their goals were willing to step outside their comfort zones and reach for what was possible.

Imagine what is possible for yourself and reach for it.

Take A Moment

Monday, November 1, 2009

Take a moment to think about what is most important in your life.

Take a moment to step back from your current situation and visualize what you really want.

Take a moment to reflect on those people who matter most in your world and what they mean to you.

Take a moment to tell them.

Take a moment to be grateful for all that is good in your life.

Take a moment to encourage someone else.

Whatever is happening in your world today, take a moment to dwell on all that is good.

You will be glad you did.

Take A Chance

Thursday, October 29, 2009

When opportunity presents itself, take a chance.

If you are uncertain how things will turn out, take a chance anyway.

If there is an opportunity to grow and learn and create a better situation for yourself and those you love, take the chance.

Not much ever happens by playing it safe.

Not many new ideas were ever implemented without some level of risk involved.

Take a chance. You may fail, but don't lose the opportunity to learn and grow from the experience.

Most importantly, don't be afraid to take the change.

You never know where it might lead.

Hold On

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Hold on to your highest aspirations.

Hold on to your most important dreams.

Life will take you in different directions, but never let go of your most treasured goals.

Whatever direction life may take you, if you hold fast to your most cherished goals and dreams, you will surely one day reach them.

Hold on to them and never let them go.

Like the water flowing downstream, rocks and obstacles appear and force a change in direction.

Ultimately the water still reaches its final destination.

Hold on to that which is most important to you and you will surely one day get there.

Be The Change

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Rather than focusing on others and what they need to change, focus your attention on changing yourself.

Instead of putting all your energy into changing the situations and circumstances you do not like, focus your effort into changing how you see and respond to those situations.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. -Gandhi

What the world needs most is someone who lives out the kind of change they wish to see.

Begin to become that kind of person and you will be amazed at some of the things that begin to change around you.

As you change yourself and your mindset, you will begin to see the world around you change.

Others will begin to change as the result of your influence on them.

Be the change and incredible things will happen.

What You Can Change

Monday, October 26, 2009

What you can change most often lies within you rather than outside of you.

What you can change rarely has to do with changing others or changing situations.

In most cases, change takes place within yourself and in your way of looking at the world around you.

There is a saying that states...

"when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at begin to change."

What this means is that we must focus our effort in changing the way we see the world instead of always trying to change the world and others around us.

Change the way you look at some of the things and people around you and see if your world begins to change.

One More Step

Friday, October 23, 2009

When you can't go any further, take one more step.

When you have held on as long as you possibly can, hang in there just a little bit longer.

You may not be able to see around the corner, but you can make it just one more step.

Taking that one more step can make all the difference in your life.

One more step may be all that it takes for the next door to open.

You have come this far.

You can make it one more step.

Faith

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Faith is believing today what you cannot see for tomorrow.

Faith is moving forward when you cannot see the light ahead of you.

Faith is not based on what we can see, but in holding confident in our expectations for tomorrow.

Faith is not based in imagination.

When you have faith you keep walking even though you have no assurance as to how things will work out.

Faith requires strength and a confidence in something beyond ourselves and our circumstances.

It requires the ability to see beyond what we can see.

Faith will get you through when that is all that you have.

Have faith today and be strong.

Live Today

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Live today one hundred percent.

Refuse to let all the worries of tomorrowor next week or next month take your focus away from what you need to do today.

Live today with all your heart and soul and mind.

If you do only that you will be in better shape tomorrow and the next day and the day after that.

Never let what you cannot do today interfere with what you can do today.

At the end of today take a deep breath and be at peace, knowing that you did all you could do for today.

Tomorrow will have it's own set of challenges to overcome.

Live today to its fullest and begin tomorrow with a clean slate.

Give Happiness Away

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Happiness will come to you, not when you pursue it, but when you go out of your way to share it with others.

When you give happiness away to others, you will find something interesting.

It comes back to you.

Happiness cannot be found by going after it. It comes naturally from a certain frame of mind and can always be found in spreading happiness to others.

Go out of your way to give happiness to others and lighten their load.

As a result, you cannot help but make yourself happier and the world seems a little better.

Try it today and see what happens.

Your Happiness

Monday, October 19, 2009

Your happiness in life is mostly up to you.

Your happiness in life depends much less on other people, circumstances and situations than you might think.

Happiness is within your grasp no matter where you find yourself or what your place in life.

Happiness lies not outside of you or in the hands of others, but inside your head.

Happiness is not to be found in things outside yourself, but within.

How you choose to see the events of your life largely determine your happiness.

What happens in your mind is the main factor determining your happiness.

And the good news is, only you can control your own mind.

Your happiness is solely up to you.

Decide today to choose happiness.

Each new day is a day fully worth living.

Each morning is a brand new chance to move forward and make things just a little bit better.

Life is worth living, no matter what your circumstances.

It is a gift.

Every day you are given an opportunity to create a life worth living.

Look at all that is good in your life today and the many opportunities you have to create a life that is worth living.

Create it.

Take this day as the gift that it truly is and make it worth living.

All You Can Give

Thursday, October 15, 2009

All you can give is all that is expected of you.

What life requires and demands of you is all you can give.

Each new day demands the most of you.

Your responsibility is to give it.

At the end of the day, make sure you gave all that you could give.

Never let that which you cannot do get in the way of what you can and must do.

When all is said and done, just make sure that what you gave was your very best.

That is all that can be expected of you and is ultimately all that you can give.

Greater Than You

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Do your circumstances seem greater than you can possibly handle?

Are you facing challenges and obstacles greater than that which is within your power to overcome?

Is life throwing more at you than you have the strength to resist?

Then don't resist.

Realize that there is a power within you that is greater than you can imagine.

That power comes from beyond you yet lies within you.

There is a source of strength greater than that which is currently facing you.

Turn yourself over to that power which is greater than you.

Do not resist, but rely on the power that is greater than you.

-Kirk L. Miller, The Authentic Way

Whatever Happens

Monday, October 12, 2009

Whatever happens, you will make it.

Whatever happens, you have the opportunity to learn and grow from each situation.

Whatever happens can be the best possible thing that could have happened to you if you allow it to be so.

Whatever happens, you are strong enough to handle it.

Every situation in your life can be viewed as a lesson for your growth and development.

Make it a choice to learn from every experience that comes into your life.

Make it a point to see every situation as an opportunity to become stronger and more resilient.

Use every situation as an opportunity for growth, whatever happens.

Breaking Through

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Breaking through requires endurance, persistence and patience.

You never know when your breakthrough is going to happen.

Everything can change in a moment's notice.

Your world can turn on a dime.

Be patient and hang on and your breakthrough will most definitely come.

Keep your eye on what you intend to create and it will only be a matter of time before your breakthrough will inevitably come.

Breaking through never happens in our own time, but you can be sure that it will happen.

Let Go

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Let go of all that you have been carrying that holds you back.

Let go of your expectations of other people and how you think that things should be.

Let go of the need to be right and the need to have everyone else see things your way.

Let go of the disappointments and the mistakes which still weigh you down.

You will find that by letting many of these things go, you will be free to move on and move forward into the life you hope for.

For today, just let go.

For Your Good

Monday, October 5, 2009

from The Authentic Way by Kirk L. Miller

When you begin to realize that everything in the world that happens to you is for your good you are beginning to understand.

Every single circumstance, problem, person who comes across your path are all part of a master plan for your own good.

All things are for your good.

When you begin to glimpse this universal truth your entire life begins to turn around.

Nothing can harm you.

Nothing can defeat you.

Everything is coming your way to help you become the person you are capable of becoming.

Difficult circumstances are only there to help you become stronger. Difficult people are there to help you grow into a much better person. Disappointments are there to help you reshape your view of the world.

All is for your good.

The Bigger Picture

Thursday, October 1, 2009

There is a bigger picture beyond all that you currently see.

There is much more to what is happening than just what you are experiencing and can readily grasp.

Most of us are too busy to realize that there is anything more beyond what we can immediately see.

Many of us are caught up in the distractions of day to day life.

But there is a bigger picture.

There is much more to all of this than what you can currently see.

If you could peel back the curtain you would see that there is something much more than the day to day experiences we call life.

Whatever you are experiencing at this time, live today with the awareness and take comfort in the fact that there is a much bigger picture.

Make This Day

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

MAKE THIS DAY

Make this day worth living.

Make this day one that counted as a result of you being here.

Make this day a day someone will remember your kind words or smile.

Make this day one in which you took time to encourage or help another.

Make this day one to remember, as it's the only one like it you will get.

Make this day special, as it is a gift to be extremely grateful for.

Make this day count and appreciate this day that you have.

Make this day, not only for yourself, but for someone else.

Although others may be able to offer their advice and their suggestions, only you can decide what is best for you.

Decide today what you really want for your life and what is ultimately important to you.

Only you can decide this.

Only you can make it happen.

Decide today to make it happen.

In Silence

Monday, September 28,2009

In silence lie the answers to your many questions.

In silence you will find that there is peace and comfort.

Each day the world around us is going faster and faster.

There is so much going on, we can hardly think or process it all.

The answers you seek can only be found when you take time to be silent and listen in the stillness.

Take just a small window of time today to find some stillness and embrace the silence.

As you sit quietly, you will begin to find the answers if you are willing to listen.

They are there...in the silence.

Make Today Count

Friday, September 25, 2009

Whatever you do with today, make it count.

You have been given this day as a wonderful gift, so whatever today holds for you, live it to the fullest.

Today is a gift that everyone will not get.

Many will not get the gift of life today and others will find themselves in circumstances much more dire than you can imagine.

Make today count.

You will trade a day of your life for it.

Make today worthy of the gift that you have been given.

Make It Count.

Give It Away

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Whatever you have to give, give it away.

Whatever you are blessed with, share it with the world.

Take your talents and your abilities and use them in service to those around you.

Give what you have to give and give it your very best.

If you have resources, use those in ways that make the world richer.

If you have skills or gifts, give them to the rest of the world to be enriched.

What makes the world a better place is by what you give without thought to what you will get in return.

Give your very best to those around you and life will be worth living.

Find The Good

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Find the good in every situation.

Find the lesson in every disappointment.

Look for the opportunity in every setback.

Life is a series of experiences to learn and grow. Change is the only certainty we can count on. The more we can see the good in each situation and each person we encounter, the deeper we grow.

Find the good in whatever circumstances you face today. It is there if you look hard enough.

Find the good in each person you meet, whether they wish you well or seek to block your path.

You can find the good wherever you are.

Do this and you hold the key to happiness.

Take the lessons and move on.

Now is the time to focus all of your thought and energy on today.

Focusing on today will enable you to create the tomorrow you are working toward.

By focusing on today and keeping your energy on NOW you will be prepared when tomorrow's opportunity comes.
