Many people find routine to be boring and tedious. If you move away from routine, you may find your life becoming chaotic. If you learn to like and embrace your routine, you will find your life becoming more glorious by the day.

Rather than despise the routine you have chosen, learn to love it. Learn to embrace it in its entirety and you will find that you are much more content and fulfilled because you are moving closer to accomplishment. With every task you complete, you become more complete.

Call it routine, or call it habit, it will either be constructive or destructive to you. When your routine lacks focus, you begin to become destructive, both in mind and body. The example I like to use here is exercise. The lack of routine makes you feel lethargic, tired and wistful. However, if you have a workout routine and you do it every day, you become creative, alert and alive.

Having a habit pays more dividends than you realize, whether it is cleaning your room, making your bed, or cleaning your desk. By having a habit, you begin to value the things you have.

Sometimes the habit will feel like a chore, but the more you do it, the less “chore” like it will feel. You will begin to feel good about accomplishing the littlest of feats and it will empower you to tackle bigger tasks as the day progresses. You have to step out of your comfort zone and become uncomfortable for a bit, and before long, you will begin to see the benefit of having a routine.

I get thes in my inbox everyday. They are extremely thought provoking and often very inspiring.

Sometimes, Chad, having more fun and being happier comes from looking for each in crazy, new places; instead of waiting for them to come from where you’ve found them before or where others are now finding them.

And I do mean crazy. Not just from the old standbys of travel, adventure, and romance, but from stretching, reaching, and growing. Accepting new responsibilities for your happiness, totally accepting others, and grasping even higher ideals. Philosophically taking yourself to places few have ever dared before.
Red hot smokin’ love,

Hope you have a blessed and beautiful day!

When you are stressed or worried about something, you are living in fear. When you worry about something, you are basically affirming that you want and believe this stressful event is going to happen to you. You dwell on it so much that before long, it becomes a reality.

When you stress about a thing, you really are crippling yourself. There are things you can change and things you cannot, and if you keep worrying about something, you add much stress to your life and keep yourself from being truly happy. A little stress is good, its called eustress and can result from buying a new item, giving a speech or even taking a test. The crippling stress is distress and this results from long time worry and fear.

When you feel this crippling fear, or if you feel overwhelmed by a negative thought, kill it in its tracks by changing your focus. Focus on the things you have and the things you need to be thankful for. Focus on the good you do in the world and that everyday is a new day with endless possibilities

Begin to channel your energies on opportunities and your abilities. Imagine your life creating value in your onw life as well as everyone you interact with. Believe that you are on this journey for a reason and sometimes that reason, although prevalent, may not be clear for you. Don’t allow yourself to worry…it causes you to age faster and die sooner.r.

Life is more about the reaction you take when faced with a dilemma. Don’t sit around anticipating the worst as you will draw that into yourself When a problem arises, focus on the logical step by step process to eliminate the problem at hand. You are stronger when you are living in love and not dwelling on fear, for worry will only add to your misery.

Focus on the doing and being and seeing of this great land. Know that not everything is perfect, but that the more you focus on your love and energy, the better the quality of people that come into your life.

Until next time…

Allow yourself to try anything…just once. Stop saying “you can’t, or you shouldn’t”. Think about how wonderful you feel after you do a thing. Feel how empowering it is just to complete a single task. The other day I was overwhelmed by just cleaning my room. I felt depressed and disheveled and nothing could motivate me. Finally I got up and started unpacking my suitcase, that led to filling the laundry basket, which in turn led to putting new sheets on the bed, which led to hanging my clothes, which in turn led to me cleaning my whole place.

When you jump over one obstacle, you start to really question the other obstacles. Are they really obstacles or obstacles in your mind. For me it is a matter of taking that first step, and the first step starts the snowball effect. I basically step out of my comfort zone and feel accomplished by even the littlest tasks. Life is not measured by what you haven’t done, but rather by what you are doing at this moment…Make the best of it and see the possibilities abound.

Are there times when you think you can’t do something, or you have told yourself you could never do that? What if you stepped out of your comfort zone and did it? Like singing a song that you really love, talking to someone that you are really attracted to, regardless of outcome or performing a run/ride or swim that you never thought possible? Life is full of possibilities and all we have is the now, not yesterday and not tomorrow. Wipe the sleep from your eyes, embrace the day with meaning breath and allow yourself to see endless possibilities.

Our life is a process of becoming comfortable in our skin. When you take that first step, you begin to transform yourself into something that you thought might not be possible. You remove the limiting belief that you can have, do or be anything that you want. It all begins with one step and a wish. I support you, your friends support you and more importantly, the Universe supports you. Once you break out and make that first step, the next and the next and the next after that begin to follow with ease, much like when you were a baby learning to walk for the first time.

See what it is you wish for…see yourself accomplishing or acquiring that thing. You will feel an immense appreciation for self and the universe at achieving the goal at hand. Love yourself as no other ever could and be thankful for everything around you. You are amazing and can do anything you wish…

Until next time…

Do you ever feel like you are going to burst with happiness? Have you ever been in love with people, not just one person? Often times we think we are only allowed to love and be loved by that special someone so we refrain by just liking those around us.

When you act in love, the world moves. Have you ever seen how someone reacts if you do something nice? They smile, they say “Thanks” and in some cases they are even shocked. When you act and live in love, the world opens up doors for you and things you have never seen, become visible before your eyes.

Many of us walk around in fear or afraid of truly showing love because you may open yourself up too much or expose yourself to getting hurt or suffer rejection. I feel that love, both the act of being in love and showing it make you a much more complete person. Don’t be selfish, learn to love all those around you. Let love come from within and flow like a river to all those around you.

Love is not just a word, it is a state of being. You can walk around living in love or you can live in fear. When you live in fear, you can’t experience the joy that comes because you are too scared to get hurt. Yes there will be some that find you odd for being generous or caring, but that should never stop you on your path to enlightenment. If you think back in your life, love accounts for many of the happiest times in your life. Don’t think of love as some magical mystical state of being, think of it as right now.

No one said that Love is easy on any level, but it is freeing to know that when you love, you break down fear and you are able to express who you truly are without hiding behind walls. When you love, you break down the fear barrier and the universe directs you in ways that you never thought you would go.

Love is not some rare and mystical ideal we should strive for, it is right now and right here. It is complete in its entirety and allows you to shine. Go…go out there and show the world your capacity to love. Do good to those around you and show everyone a little love.

Until next time…
