    Merry Christmas! 

    Add to the celebration

    On this precious day, in your own special way, create a world with no disappointment. Fill moment after moment with joy, wonder, and laughter.

    Speak from a place of love. Act from an alignment with joy.

    Think from a perspective of hope. Feel from a position of peace.

    See, understand, and lift up the goodness that is in every life. Discover new beauty in every experience.

    Carry peaceful purpose wherever you go. With kindness, with patience, with the most beneficial of intentions, offer the best of who you are.

    This is a time to celebrate life in its highest form. Add your most authentic goodness to the celebration.

    Those who win

    You don’t win by trying to win. You win by doing something useful, valuable, helpful.

    You don’t win by being popular. You win by being good.

    You don’t win by putting others down. You win by lifting up as many people as you can.

    You don’t win by saying you care. You win by putting your care into effective action.

    You don’t win by controlling others. You win by exercising positive, purposeful control over yourself.

    All the world benefits from those who win. Be a real winner, again and again, and make life better for everyone.

    A belated Merry Christmas, Marion.  This is the best time of the year and the one that I am most thankful for.

    My kids and grandkids are all here with us vacationing in Pigeon Forge, TN.  We (all eleven) arrived the 23rd and had a very nice snowfall on the 24th (my birthday)!

    Happy New Year!

    Larry

    Let life speak to you

    Let life speak to you. With no complaint or agenda or expectation or judgment on your part, let life reveal its truth.

    Open yourself to experience what’s really there, what’s actually happening. See the beauty, feel the texture, observe the cycles and rhythms that continue on and on.

    Seek to taste life, to appreciate its wonder, not to capture or to possess it. Endeavor to work within life’s realities, not to overpower or control those realities.

    Let life be, and let yourself be one with it, at peace with it. Understand that you will never fully understand, and draw deep wisdom from that awareness.

    Know that each ending opens the way for a new beginning. Watch as life changes, and remains ever the same.

    Sincerely experience and celebrate life. Let life speak to you, let life come to you, and let life find authentic, beneficial expression in all you do.

    Step by step, task after task

    Acknowledge where you are. That’s the first step.

    Now ask yourself, what would be one small step in the direction of your goal? Take that step.

    Now you’re on your way. Now you can keep going, one step at a time.

    Don’t let yourself be stopped by imperfection, or indecision, fear or apprehension. Let go of the hesitation, let go of excuses, find another step to take, and take it.

    Make the next phone call, write the next sentence, cut the next board, sort through the next box. Persist in your action, for it is that persistence that gets the work done.

    This is the place to start and now is the time to do it. Step by step, task after task, you’ll get yourself where you intend to go.
