THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

Make the Most of Where You Are

by Author Unknown

 

Wherever you are, be there fully. 

For where you are is where you can most effectively act and live.

 

If you're constantly wishing that you were somewhere else, you diminish the opportunities for where you are now. 

When your thoughts are in another place or time, your actions lose much of their effectiveness.
 
 It's great to dream, to plan, to aspire, to reach for new and improved circumstances. 
And yet the way to successfully do that is by being the best you can be in the place where you now find yourself.
 
It's great to keep yourself focused on an ambitious goal. 
And that focus is the most effective when it is crafted from the perspective of where you are now.
 

To successfully travel the path from here to there, you must start with being fully here. 

The more you give your attention and energy to making the most of where you are, the more quickly you'll move along that path.
 

There is much to be accomplished, much to be lived in every place and in every moment. 

Be there fully for all of them, and life will be rich indeed.

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

Every day is a day of decision, a day of duty, a day of destiny.

William Arthur Ward

 

Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present - which seldom happens to us.

Jean de la Bruyère

 

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.

 Henry David Thoreau

 

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

Alan Watts

 

 

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

 Buddha

 

Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.

Leo Buscaglia

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:
Happy To Return
By Byron Pulsifer
 

Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were moments of laughter, fun, and great food. It's a funny thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also counts down to the end and a return to work.

 

It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with anticipation of a great break away from my daily routine. And, we weren't disappointed.

 

But, there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporate environment. The main difference was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn't have the same feelings of approaching stress and dread. 

 

In this most recent vacation, it wasn't that we didn't thoroughly enjoy the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the opportunity to do what we wanted when we wanted, or the leisurely pace of each day. What was significant was that we didn't even dread the last day of vacation knowing that we would soon have to return to my previous filed. You see, we knew that we were returning to what we love to do not what we had to do. 

 

The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In previous times, the last days of vacation were dreaded, we experienced a mounting sense of stress because we knew that a return to our field of employment was "work" and not something that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.

 

The point is this: if you do what you love, it doesn't matter in the least that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not find yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could keep enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do draws you back like a magnet; draws you back to pleasure not to toil; draws you back where you feel comfort and completeness.

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

The Principles of Gossip

By Catherine Pulsifer
 

Gossip is the greatest abuse of time and energy. Everyone adds on his or her own personal bias, interpretation, and bitterness.

 

We used to play a children's game where we all sat in a circle and one person would whisper a sentence to the next person. By the time it was repeated again to the first person, the sentence was completely different! Gossip is based on the same principle.

 

People who spend their time finding fault or gossiping about others, are certainly not the kind of people you want as friends.

 

Those who gossip to you may also gossip about you. If you can't say anything positive about someone, don't say anything.

 

Nothing productive is ever achieved as a result of spreading, or listening to gossip. Don't waste your time! You can make more productive use of it.
