No matter what you do, you cannot be who you were a year ago. And that reminds us to keep moving in constant and never-ending improvement. Because we want to be the best different self than we are now. Tomorrow. Next month. Next year. Love, In this time of chaos and unknown,
This reminds us of The immense power of our minds Connecting to our hearts, Especially in the face of desperation.. "You can’t be angry and grateful at the same time. You can’t be fearful and grateful at the same time. You certainly can’t be jealous and grateful at the same time. The real gift of gratitude is that it eliminates these negative feelings and replaces them with peace and joy." - Tony Robbins One of the J6’s used this for 366 days: “Every single night while I was in prison, at 9pm, for 366 days I joined these men in singing our great national anthem with pride, gratitude, and determination.” ⁃ John Strand Emoto exposed water to words like “'love' or 'gratitude' and the water when frozen formed intricate, stunningly beautiful crystals. But water exposed to negativity - words like 'hate' or 'desperate' produced chaotic, fractured, ugly formations." - Masaru Emoto (see image above) Peace, love, gratitude for and to you, Some years ago, Jeff Olson published a book called, “The Slight Edge”. This book had a huge impact on us, as we followed his point that we are always... ...ALWAYS moving along a trajectory, either in a positive, or in a negative direction. There is no standing still. The Slight Edge for Dan Jansen in the’94 Olympics speed skating was a win by 29 one hundredths of a SECOND. That is 0.29 second. Less than a third of a SECOND! As Jeff Olson said, that’s a very Slight Edge! Whether you are talking in your life, in your work, or play, the difference in accomplishing, the difference in winning and losing, the difference in positive or negative trajectory... ...is a very SLIGHT EDGE. Would you like $1 million dollars right now, or a penny a day, doubled each day for one month? One penny, doubled every day for a month adds up to $10,737,418… and 24 cents. Increase your efforts each day - in your family and friend relationships, in work, in play, by just three-tenths of 1%, adding three-tenths of 1% each day, and by the end of five years, you will have moved along your Slight Edge 1600%! Just in a year you’d have improved 100%! Your nutrition? Your weight? Your health? Your family? Loving others? Imagine - after 1 week…1 month…1 year later… You’ll be living a different life. Get on and stay on the Slight Edge. Happy 2025! Love, |
