A Good Reminder

Before I set some goals, some things to think about. My gift to you from Anthony Robbins.


Each New Year brings change:
  • New Commitments to your health.
  • Renewed dedication to the people you love.
  • New focus on how to spend your time.
These changes can sometimes feel frustrating, if not overwhelming at times. As you work to accomplish more in less time, don't lose sight of that you are in this world for a reason -- a magnificent one. Remember you set the rules for yourself. You are limited by nothing. It's time to create a masterpiece. It's time to celebrate and give more of yourself.

The 12 Tenets for Conscious Living in the New Year. You may just ponder these or one could change your life.

Live a life of service.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service to others. Mahatma Ghandi

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
We need lots of love to forgive but we need much more humility to ask for forgiveness. Mother Theresa

Be Kind.
Life is short, but there is always time for courtesy. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be Remarkable.
Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you'll land among the stars. Les Brown

Seek Unity.
Interdependence is and ought to be as much an ideal of man as self sufficiency. Mahatma Ghandi

Strive for Wisdom.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. Immanuel Kant

Be Grateful.
When you are grateful, fears disappear and abundance appears. Tony Robbins

Think Critically.
The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. Albert Einstein

Be Brave.

You must do the thing you think you cannot. Eleanor Roosevelt

Be Humble.
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself. Blaise Pascal

Be Creative.
A creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve not by the desire to beat others. Ayn Rand


Be Present.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. Anne Frank

What an inspirational post :)
I always thought that if you aim for the moon and miss you will hit an eagle, if you aim for an eagle and miss you will hit the ground. Ok, it went something like that, one of those motovational speakers from peta or somewhere. Keep up the running, at least the media has moved on to other grounds.

Thanks Nancy

In the couple minutes that it took me to read your blog, you put a smile on my face and made me want to do better things.

My favorite is the quote about being grateful. We have so much that all too often we take it for granted.

Best of luck to you and your family in '08!

Thank you for this, Nancy, especially the beautiful picture of Terry Fox. Amazing to think that he ran a marathon every day for 143 days.

You are an inspiration, as always!
