I often asked myself the following question: “What could I share with my wonderful readers to make their day more pleasant, more peaceful, more inspired?”

In order to answer the question, I ask myself what would make my own day more pleasant, more peaceful, more inspired. Here’s what I came up with:

1) Remember to smile at something simple. This helps remind us that it is ALL simple; it’s only our minds that make things complicated.

2) Remember to do something that pleases you each day. It’s the people that seem to truly enjoy their lives that we want to be around.

3) Remember to do a little today to plan for tomorrow; just in case you’re still around to enjoy it!

4) Remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Whatever your goal, focus on reaching it one step at time.

5) Remember to leave something or someone in better shape than you found it or them.

6) Remember that you have to power to choose your prospective each day. You can approach life as a firefighter who constantly puts out fires or as an architect who carefully designs the life he wants to experience.

7) Remember to stop each night, right before falling asleep, to count your blessings. 

8) Remember to go to bed early and see how much easier it is to do the first 7 things on this list!

Enjoy…
