Yes, it is important to have dreams

Yes, it is important to have dreams…
To enumerate them, 
And then -
To focus on...  
Those desired end results.
Avoid the "hows".
Leave the methodology to God.
See it done.  See it here, and how it will feel.
Especially how it will feel.
Feel it now.

Who Do You Spend Time With?

By the way - with whom do you spend time?​
Disparagers or encouragers?
Problem-see-ers or Problem-solvers?
Procrastinators or ‘get-‘er-done -ers’
Fearful or courageous?
Blamers or ‘learn-from-my error-ers’?
Gossipers or encouragers?
Pretenders or genuiners?
As you go through your week, ponder which type of folks
Surround you.
Begin surrounding yourself with the positive ones.
Shower the negativers with love, and then move away 
from those wherever you can.
Your life is too important for anything less.

With Everyone You Meet...

As you go through your day, with EVERYONE you meet,
You will touch thousands of people.
Thousands??  How?
For example, as a pediatric dentist and orthodontist 
Each day brings many people into my ‘sphere.’

And for each I encounter, 
I also reach everyone they will EVER know.
AND, EVERYONE they will ever know.

My single day of moments of love
Stretches out in love, kindness,
Like the waves of the oceans,
Still spreading after I have gone on.

(Of course continuing as I am with my friends and my family,
As I grocery shop,
As I write to you,
On and on, and on and on…For each and every day.
Because people are changed by my energies. 
As dependable as the ocean tides!)

With Everything That Has Happened to YOU

With everything that has happened to you, 

Your choice is to feel sorry for yourself 
...or... To treat what has happened as a gift. 

Every single thing is either an opportunity to grow 
...or... an obstacle to keep you from growing. 
You get to choose. 

Thoughts from Dr. Wayne Dyer, a major mentor in my life.
This and this alone changed an awful lot for me.
Let it resonate
See what you think.
(Because what you think is what it’s all about.)

Talking about change...

​We were talking about change…
‘Forgive the past. It is over. 
Learn from it and let go.
People around you - AND YOU - 
constantly change and grow.’ 
As you think of Brian Weiss’s wisdom above,
Think how
easy it is to cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image 
of a person in the past. 
See the persons around you in the now. 
See your relationships alive and changing.
Now, the changed YOU and the changed THEM
Can move on to greater.
