Forget all the reasons why it won't work and believe the one reason why it will.   Unknown Usually the one reason why something will work is the only thing we need to focus on but we tend to allow the negatives, i.e. the reasons why it possibly won't work, to be our focus. I think about this in regards to being healthy and weight loss. (As one example - it can apply to, well, anything!)  I focus on all the reasons why I don't think my efforts/attempts to get healthy will work instead of focusing on the one (or in this case maybe two!) reasons why it will.  I make a choice to believe the negatives rather than the positives.  Again we see it comes down to choice - we have a choice to make and we have to make the choice daily.  Sometimes within a day we have to make the choice hourly!  When it comes to being healthy, for me, it is an hourly kind of choice I am faced with.  Each time I have something presented to me that goes in my mouth and lands on my...

live with intention. walk to the edge. listen hard. practice wellness. play with abandon. laugh. choose with no regret. continue to learn. appreciate your friends. do what you love. live as if this is all there is.   mary ann radmacher I've had a magnet on my fridge for years with this quote on it.  It's a great reminder to me - and I need these reminders - of what a full life consists of.  Even if I just put into practice one or two of these each day I'm better off.  How?  Well take, for example, "walk to the edge".  Living my life backing away from the edge and playing it safe leads to regrets.  It does.  I don't know of anyone who was happy they played it safe in the end.  We learn and grow the most when we walk right up to the edge of what brings us fear and we look over and make a move to conquer it.  Today's quote reminds me that I want to live each day developing my character and living a full life.  I hope you...

A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.   Irish Proverb I think todays' quote/proverb speaks to me because I haven't been sleeping well.  So a long sleep, a nap, sounds great right about now.  :) Actually I really do think this proverb holds some truth.  Sometimes a good nap gives us fresh or new perspective.  And we all know how good laughter is for the soul.  As another proverb says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine but a broken spirit saps a person's strength." (attributed to King Solomon)  Sometimes all we need is a good gut busting laugh and/or a nap.  A few years back I was back and forth on a decision for months.  I just couldn't decide how to handle a particular situation.  It was troubling just below the surface of my life and I had lost perspective on the best way to handle it.  One afternoon I was hit with an exhaustion that made me take a rare nap.  I think I had slept for about 20 ...
