If you want an interesting and meaningful life, challenge yourself! I strongly agree with this Joshua J. Marine quote. Looking forward to my next challenge…

Stepping stones
An obstacle is often a stepping stone.
The above William Prescott quote reflects an excellent way to respond to challenges. Seeing obstacles not as hindrances but as steps to better things is a perfect application of a positive attitude.
One small positive thought
On my way home from a run I passed a pharmacy with the follow uplifting message:
One small positive thought can change your whole day 🙂
What a great thought for the day 🙂
A possibilitarian
Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities – always see them, for they’re always there.
There are endless possibilities and we can achieve what may seem to others to be impossible. In order to achieve possibilities, it is critical to be open to them first. As the above Norman Vincent Peale quote states, the possibilities are always there.
Be the change you wish to see in the world
This quote of unknown origin, often incorrectly attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, is a fantastic mantra to live by.
If you want to see a more positive and happy world, be more positive and happy. If you want to see a healthier world, be healthier.
Setting an example is one of the best ways, if not the best way, to influence others.
Be kind
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
This quote is attributed to Ian Maclaren, the pseudonym of a 19th century Scottish author and theologian, and is a reminder to be considerate of others. We do not now how other people are feeling internally or the issues they are facing so we be kind to everyone we meet.
The importance of habit
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
I read the above quote by former athlete Jim Ryun this morning and it really rang true to me. Habit is so important to achieving one’s goals.
We are the hero of our own story
The Mary McCarthy quote we are the hero of our own story inspires me because it reminds me we all have the ability to be heroes in our own unique ways.
We each have so much potential in our life stories. How will the hero look in your own story?
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself
This powerful quote from inspirational author Orison Swett Marden reflects the unlimited potential we each have in our lives.
If I truly want something to happen, I can make it happen.
Our choices and actions can create the most opportunities and we should not wait on the environment, other people or lucky charms to lead us to where we want to be.
The biggest potential we have is within ourselves – let’s use it!
