"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow." -Doug Firebaugh

When I was a young boy I heard the question "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is...one bite at a time.

Now I don't recommend that you eat an elephant, but the story does have a great meaning. You don't finish any goal in one big bite, but many small ones.

Take a small step each day towards where you want to go and eventually you will get there. If you really want to speed up the process, make an effort to keep track of your progress.

When you take notes of your journey it will remind you of how far your have come and keep you pointed in the right direction.

Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still. -Chinese Proverb

"Enlightenment is not a peak experience. It is a permanent shift in paradigm that deepens day by day." Shizen Young

We have all had times in life that we would consider a peak experience.

A long awaited graduation, the birth of a child, or maybe the first time we took off on a bike without the training wheels.

Living a life enlightened does not mean leading a life of perfection.

It means living in gratitude for all of the peaks in our lives, and making the best out of the valleys.

It means living a life that allows you to grow each day, while having a positive impact on the world around you.

It means living the life you were born to live.

“People get what they want in life when they reach the point at which they can see themselves having what they seek.” -Thomas D. Willhite

Seek the vision to see the people places and things you want in your life.

When those thoughts become real in your mind, you will develop the habits that are associated with having them.

They will then appear naturally in your reality.

See what you want in your life and will find it.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

-Dalai Lama

Actions are brought forth out of what you feel on the inside, but what you feel on the inside can be influenced by your actions.

Do what makes you happy and you will feel happiness.

Let your actions be your guide.

Your thoughts are seeds.

You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.

Thoughts are things. They have energy that can be measured.

They are what shapes your life every single day.

The most wonderful gift is that you get to choose the ones you want to plant in the garden that is your mind.

Be sure that your plant today what will bring the harvest you want tomorrow.

“An optimist expects their dreams to come true; a pessimist expects their nightmares to.” -Laurence J. Peter

It takes no more personal power to achieve your dreams or succumb to your nightmares.

Just like steering a car, your choice to go right or left takes no more energy.

It is just a matter of where you put your focus.

Begin each day by focusing on what you want in life and turn the wheel towards your best future.

A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can't go anywhere until you change it! -Unknown

The first step in changing an attitude or a tire is to realize it needs changing.

Then it takes work to get the job done.

Just because you do it once doesn't mean you won't have to do it again.

I find that I need to change my attitude much more often than my tires.

But it gets easier the more often you do it!

Each day is a present, open it with much excitement! -Anonymous

What if every day were like Christmas? Why can't they all be?

Open each day with celebration and gratitude.

The thoughts that begin your day will have a great effect on how the rest of it works out.

Feel the truth that each day is a gift from your creator, and open it like you were a child on Christmas Day!

Every day, or at the very least once or twice a week, take a few minutes and focus on seeing yourself in joy. Feel yourself in joy. Imagine only joy ahead in your life and see yourself basking in it. As you do this the Universe will move all people, circumstances, and events to bring you that joy. You can't be in joy if you have money worries, or health worries, or relationship problems with friends or family. So deposit some joy in the bank of the Universe as often as you can. There isn't an investment that is more worthwhile.

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” -St. Francis of Assisi

In accomplishing great things, one must start by mastering the fundamentals.

Those fundamentals will then provide the steps to a higher place, giving new perspective and broadening horizons.

What seems impossible at first becomes a real possibility when the necessary steps are taken
