Do your best - the very best that you know how to do in every dimension of your life - then let go and let life do the rest.
A huge fire broke out in the forest. All the threatened animals were scared and fled, except the hummingbird, who decided to stay and put out the fire. It flew to the nearest river and picked up a few drops of water, then came back and put them on the fire. The other animals watched from a distance and made fun of the hummingbird. The more they mocked, the harder the hummingbird worked, persistently and patiently bringing its little drops of water. “What are you doing?” the animals asked. “The fire is overwhelming. How can you make a difference? You are too little anyway.” The hummingbird answered, “I’m doing the best I can.”
(passage by Zoe Sallis )
Are you doing the best you can in every dimension of your life?

Are You Allergic to Working Out?
Then you wouldn't have to admit to friends, loved ones, and co-workers that you simply hate to exercise. Saying your throat swells up or you break out in hives might be easier than enduring the disapproving looks that you fear might come with confessing the truth!
Rethink your definition of exercise. Think of it as movement, any movement—not necessarily something that you have to do in a gym or at a track. Gardening is exercise; so are walking the dog, playing tag with your kids, strolling through the woods picking blackberries. If you've been unsuccessful at sticking with a traditional program before, simply focusing on moving more in these ways may not only help you burn calories now but also prepare you mentally and physically for other activities in the future.

Self Leadership
Every one of us has a soul within us that knows what it means to be a decent, loving, and noble human being. When we do something wrong, we can try to fool ourselves by rationalizing what we did at a conscious level. We can create a whole story about how the world is out of integrity and we’re the victim. We can build a case that the other person deserved what they did to us and we acted harshly with them to teach them a lesson. But it’s not our job to police the Universe. Our job is to show up as Leaders in our own lives by understanding and taking responsibility for the LESSONS that this growth school is delivering to us. By doing so, this strengthens and evolves us into our Authentic and Best Selves.

Shift Your Perception
- For your life to change, YOU must change.
- keep choosing the HIGHEST, most LOVING possible response in every situation.
- Realize that happiness isn't a place you get to - it's an INNERSTATE that you create.
- Be AUTHENTIC, be real, be yourself. Get to know yourself.
- Look at your limiting beliefs and then workhard to RECREATE them.
- See the opportunity for growth in every single situation of your lifeand then take personal RESPONSIBILITY rather than blaming someone else.
- Don't run from fear, instead MOVE THROUGH IT with the understanding that where fear lives, your greatest growth lies.
