Much to value Value life’s possibilities enough to dream. Value your dreams enough to act on them. Value each moment such that you make good use of it. Value every circumstance such that you uncover the opportunities within it. Value your thoughts, desires, passions and fears so as to learn what they have to teach. Value the expressions of those who disagree with you for exactly the same reason. V...

Gratitude has great power. If you can find a way to be thankful when everyone else is resentful, that’s power. What you’re genuinely and deeply thankful for, you’ll figure out how to create more of. That’s effectiveness. If you’re faced with a difficult situation, being thankful is a response not immediately obvious, maybe never considered at all. Yet when you do practice gratitude it can illumina...

Life can be meaningful enough to justify it’s suffering. Life isn’t made to be happy all the time, but for you to find meaning, and be on the right path. You need to figure out what gives you meaning. You need goals, and when you are depressed you may feel like you don’t have any. Act like you do, and hang on to something. Start with small goals and build up. For example, getting out of bed and ea...

Never Give up on Your Dreams Boldly go in the direction of your dreams. Stand tall and show the world what you are made of. When the world beats you down, find a reason to get back up again. Never give up on the success. Try, try, try and try again. Feed your mind ideas of success, not failure. Remember, the only way you can fail is if you give up. Every time you fail, you come one step closer to...

Think slow An immediate reaction is not always the best reaction. When you think too fast you tend to ignore many of the best possibilities. Sometimes you have no choice other than to think fast and act fast. Yet when you do have a choice, think longer, perhaps a little slower and more deliberately. Give yourself the opportunity to take a multitude of factors into consideration. The more you under...

Increase your strength Think clear, purposeful thoughts, and grow in strength. Take effective, persistent actions and grow in strength. Strength is built over time. That makes every stretch of time an opportunity for increasing your strength. Through your encounters with others, you can build strength. In dealing with problems, you become stronger. The stronger you become, on the inside and outwar...

Making things better What response will improve the situation? That’s the one to choose. It’s not enough to claim you care. Merely appearing to make things better is insufficient at best, and perhaps even counterproductive. Figure out what will bring positive, enduring results. Focus on that course of action. Hold yourself and your actions to a high standard. Refuse to settle for anything less tha...

It all comes back The most profound joy is in giving joy. The most inescapable pain is to cause pain. Your actions affect your own life in the manner and to the cumulative degree they affect others. That can be a beautiful experience or a terrible, unbearable one, depending on the nature of those actions. Offer to the world whatever you seek to obtain. Amplify the goodness accessible to you by sha...

Spark of goodness Give all your awareness to the purity of your existence. Step away from the repetitive chatter of thoughts, of sensations. For a little while, just be. Enable time itself to loosen completely its hold on you. Experience the wonder of feeling anything and everything, and nothing. Connect with the aspect of now that has no beginning and no end. Give your spirit plenty of space to b...

Changing your mind You’re allowed to change your mind. It can actually be a refreshing thing to do, not to mention helpful, productive, and insightful. It won’t kill you to admit to yourself or others that you were mistaken. Perhaps it could even make the situation a whole lot better. Sure, it’s a blow to your pride when you acknowledge being wrong, particularly if you’ve been adamant about your p...

Symptoms of depression include: Feeling sad or anxious often or all the time Not wanting to do activities that used to be fun Feeling irritable‚ easily frustrated‚ or restless Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep Wak...

Commit with action Wishes, plans, and promises have a common deficiency. They all lack meaningful commitment. Commitment begins when you take action. The most impressive words, the most detailed strategies have little meaning until they’re acted upon. Are you not quite ready to begin? Begin anyway, initiate genuine commitment, and you’ll quickly be making progress and will forget about whether you...

Make new meaning Meaning in life is not something you find by stumbling across it or searching for it or having it handed to you. The meaning in your life is the meaning you actively bring into it. Life becomes filled with meaning as a result of time spent, activity you genuinely engage in, effort you put forth. Curiosity, struggle, connection, faith, joy, challenge, and achievement are but a few...

You’ve already taken five thousand steps. You can take a few more. Your patience is wearing thin. Yet you can make a fresh commitment, and continue practicing patience a little longer. The work you’re involved in has become tedious. Re-energize by reminding yourself why you’re doing it, then get back to the effort and do a little more. Sometimes that little bit more can make a lot of difference. W...

Good that can come The system, the situation, the odds are stacked against you and others like you. Can you visualize making note of all that and proceeding forward anyway? You’re asking for help and not getting it. Have you thought about directing some of those requests to yourself? There are plenty of ways the world could be more accommodating. But for a whole lot of complex reasons, it is the w...

Encourage yourself Discouragement is a choice, not a foregone conclusion. Inspiration and encouragement are better, more empowering choices, and they’re just as readily available to you. The realities of life are not affected by your attitude. But you are, and the way you see things affects how well you deal with them. When circumstances are not in your favor, it’s more important than ever for you...

You care Caring is costly. That’s why it’s so valuable, so desirable, so essential. When you care you’re making yourself vulnerable. It’s a risk well worth taking. As terrible as hatred is, there’s something even more empty and destructive. That is not caring at all. For the sake of yourself and all those around you, stay as far away from indifference as you can. Make it your intent to always care...

Merely trying Trying too hard is not much more effective than hardly trying. If you perceive any effort as trying, that has a way of sabotaging the effort. Even when you're highly motivated, seeing yourself as trying blocks you from seeing yourself as succeeding. The word itself focuses you on struggling rather than achieving. Let go of the thought that you're trying. See yourself instead...

Do life Don’t just speculate about it. Do it and find out for sure. Go beyond merely watching it on a screen. Experience the many dimensions of reality firsthand.

Somewhere there’s a river flowing out from a glacier that will inspire you with its beauty. There’s someo...

Acknowledge your disappointment, but don't let it consume you. Instead, use it as fuel for growth and change. Disappointment is a natural part of life, but it doesn't have to define your journey. Every day may not be perfect, but each day holds the potential for fulfillment and enrichment. Redirect your energy toward creating that fulfillment and uncovering the richness in your life. Focus...
