Happiness is a choice.
Be good to yourself.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.
So, please, allow yourself to be happy. Smile in the sunshine, kick the ball around with your son, have a glass of wine with your spouse in the afternoon, move to Argentina, buy yourself a Kindle for the love of reading; whatever it is, be good to yourself.

Love Lessons - Love is an invitation to Grow: Dr. Julie Hanks

1. Loved Ones Invite Us to Grow, but We Rarely Listen
Consistent feedback
Defensiveness
We learn about ourselves and grow in relation to other people.
We need relationships.
We need to bump against people to kind of smooth off our edges.

2. We choose partners to heal past wounds.
We pick partners who will force us to grow and heal past wounds. It's unconscious. We all do it.

3. Love Means Saying Yes to Happiness and Tears

4. It's Normal to Have Problems
Its an opportunity for you to grow and look at yourself and then look at the relationship pattern.
If you're growing, stay in it.
Love is a feeling, its a behaviour and its a commitment and sometimes you have to draw on one or all of those.

God Wants to Accelerate Your Life : Terri

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
My point is, time is ticking.

"Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim..." -Amos 9:13

Keys to Acceleration:

1. Think about your future.

Thinking precedes achievement.
I schedule time to think. -Peter Daniels
Begin with the end in mind -Steven Covey
How do you want the next year to end?
Think about that.
"My sheep know my voice; I know them, and they follow me." -John 10:27
Your little journal can become a GPS, a map for you to start living your dreams.
Just practice listening.
Just make it part of your routine, 5 mins a day.

2. Get clear on what you want.

H. L. Hunt
10:11 to 10:45
What do you want?
Write those visions down.
Clarity is one of the single most important keys for success.
When the vision is clear, the results will appear.
When you get clear on your dreams and goals, you're gonna see acceleration like never before.
Oprah Winfrey
T D Jakes
Vision comes first, provision comes second.
He makes a way when there seems to be no way.

3. Confess your desired future.

Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing.
-James 3:9
A rudder controls the entire direction of a ship the same way your tongue controls the direction of your life. -James 3:4
Every time you speak you are getting closer to your dreams or further from them.
I will say... He will do. -Psalm 91:2-4
Start speaking to your dreams.
Start speaking faith-filled words.
You'll see acceleration.

Men decide their habits. Their habits decide their future.
The secret to living your dreams is in your daily routine.
Don't look at all the years you've lost, look at the years you got left and start living your dreams.
I believe in you.

Do I really need friends?
Friends play a different role than family members, than spouses, than kids or sisters.

4 Mental Techniques to Improve Your Time Management | Brian Tracy

"Excellent time management is a source of energy, enthusiasm, and a positive mental attitude."

Time management behaviours are very much a matter of choice.
And you are always free to choose the quality of your life.

1. Use the power of positive affirmations.
Positivity will change the quality of your life.
These are commands that you pass from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind.
Begin by repeating positive affirmations over and over to yourself.
- I am excellent at time management.
- I manage my time well.
- I use my time well.

2. Reprogram your subconscious mind through visualization.
Mental pictures most immediately influence your subconscious mind.
Begin to see yourself as well-organized, efficient, and effective  in time management.
Play this picture of yourself over and over again on the screen of your mind until it is accepted as your new reality.

3. Take quiet time to mentally envision your perfect scenario.

4. Imagine you are already excellent at time management.
Imagine you're an actor who is playing this part who is already very good at time-management. Act as if you're already using your time efficiently and well. Pretend that you're an expert in personal efficiency and time-management.

How can you apply one of these techniques or maybe more than one to your life?
