Inspiration & Motivation

A simple shift in attitude can help us recognize the hidden potential for fulfillment in every event.

There is no secret recipe for happiness and contentment. The individuals who move through life joyously have not necessarily been blessed with lives of abundance, love, success, and prosperity. Such people have, however, been blessed with the ability to take the circumstances they’ve been handed and make them into something great. Our individual realities are colored by perception—delight and despair come from within rather than without. Situations we regard as fortuitous please us while situations we judge inauspicious cause us no end of grief. Yet if we can look at all we have accomplished without dwelling on our perceived misfortune and make each new circumstance our own, the world as a whole becomes a brighter place. A simple shift in attitude can help us recognize and unearth the hidden potential for personal and outer world fulfillment in every event, every relationship, every duty, and every setback.

Cool. I got wrapped up in the Brad Pitt fight scene video. :-)

Here's the other one I show my students. You can say it's like those corporate art posters "Motivation," "Performance," "Challenge,' etc. But the message about a degree making the difference is spectacular.

Thank you for this. I have read it twice and already it is helping me with my attitude on life and the things that go on. I feel myself smiling more and more and just that feeling better about everything that happens feeling. Thanks again.

You are VERY welcome!

Walk outside, lean against a tree, take in long slow deep breaths, close you eyes and feel the power of the universe. It takes 5 min and it will change your entire day.

Pay it forward. Teach someone to be happy by example
