Courage

Good morning,

Wow! Monday seems like it was just here but today really is Friday. Yesterday a friend of mine was anxiously worrying and our discussion brought to mind some wise words from Dale Carnegie.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

Taking positive action, however small, can get us moving in the right direction to overcome challenges and conquer fears.

Today let's have courage - and a sunny day!

Change Up

Good morning,
 

It's Friday and going to be a beautiful one here in Michigan. Last night I was excited to open my just-arrived shiny copy of a new book published by my friend Brian Bartes. I randomly opened it in the middle and my eyes fell on these words.

"Changes creates opportunity, and those who are willing and able to learn new skills will be well positioned to benefit from change."

Wow - Brian, what a timely message! Change can be very challenging and today's sunny note is a word of encouragement to believe in yourself and focus on turning the challenges into opportunities.

If you'd like to know more about Brian and his excellent book, called Life Lessons, the website is www.LifeLessonsTheBook.com.

Let's change for the better - and have a sunny day!

Never Too Late

Good morning,

Happy Friday! Is there something you've wanted to do but now it seems too late? Don't let that get in your way! No matter what you have in mind...

It's not too late.

Sure, it might have been easier or wiser to start sooner, but that's no excuse for not starting now.

It also helps to remember that "never too late" applies to little things as well as big things. Phone calls that need to be returned? Tasks that need to be finished? Words that need to be said? I know I've been guilty of using the passage of time as an excuse not to do something, telling myself "I should have done that a long time ago."

So whether it's a lofty goal we have in mind or a simple task we should complete, let's start now - and have a sunny day.

Path Finding

Good morning,

It’s Friday and finally feels like summer in Michigan! This week I’ve been reflecting on the power each of us has to choose our own path. Even when we feel stuck, if we look closely at a situation there’s almost always more than one option. However, it’s up to us to:

Use the power to choose.

"If you have a choice but you don't make use of it, that's as good as not having one," says success coach Jonathan Sprinkles, who spoke at a recent Yes! Network event. Figuring out our options and making tough choices are often daunting, but always worth it, in order for us to actively guide the direction of our own lives.

This morning let's choose to have a sunny day!
