Yes Attitude - Future

June 9, 2008 · No Comments

We will have discovered a “Yes” attitude toward the future leads to a joyful pursuit of happiness.

For those endeavors that feel attainable, we say yes. Yes, I have goals I know I can reach, and I am willing to act upon. believe in, and commit to whatever it takes to attain them. For those that seem beyond our reach, we say yes. Yes this appears to be beyond my reach, but I am willing to take the risk, enthusiastically pursue it, and to learn from the experience regardless of the outcome.

Consistent Behavior

May 9, 2008 · No Comments

Consistent behavior helps us build character, relationships, strengths, successes, and more. Like many great things, it can be overdone and become a weakness. We will have discovered it can be beneficial to have:

behavior that is consistent

  • With our beliefs
  • with our purpose
  • with our promises and commitments
  • with who we really are
  • with our daily needs
  • with the goals we set

Consistent behavior can become a weakness when we get stuck in our routines. We will have discovered a need to strike a balance between consistency and the personal growth that comes from creativity, risk taking, spontaneity, and intentional change.

Purpose in Life

April 17, 2008 · No Comments

Where do I find my purpose in life? High School?! Ask Mother?!! Oprah?!!! The Bureau of Motor Vehicles?!!!!

Each and every one of us has a purpose in life. Our personal goals may lead to our feeling a purpose in life. We discover happiness does not come simply from accomplishments of our goals set during our early years. Our true sense of purpose in life comes as a gradual discovery and growth of a purpose we did not know in our early years.

Our purpose does not come from the outside, from above the clouds, from the media, even from friends and family. Rather, we find it deep within us. This purpose is necessary for the ultimate development of our character. We will have discovered our joyful journey to the pursuit of happiness includes a drive toward a purposeful character.

Life Goals

April 15, 2008 · No Comments

The reason each and every one of us are on this earth is to live and to grow and to help other life grow.

In our early years we yearn to shoot for the stars. We seek to resolve our hopes and dreams with a sense the world around us will permit these hopes and dreams to be attainable. We seek information from friends, family, teachers, various media and more. The focus is on outside information.

We will have discovered these goals may or may not be met. New goals can be set, new dreams pursued. This becomes a journey of growth.

The danger is to take the path of a never-ending drive toward self gratification.
