Today I want to share with you a few lines from Jim Rohn. I often go back to read it and this week as I read it… I realized that you might enjoy it.
"What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life.
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all.
Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge.
Any day we wish, we can start a new activity.
Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.We can also do nothing.
We can pretend rather than perform.
And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are.
We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence.
The choices are ours to make.
But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves."
We created our circumstances by our past choices.
We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today."
Cheers,
Jephtée E.

A SUCCESSFUL DAY
Today I will keep it short and sweet.
Often I finished my articles or an email by wishing you guys, a successful week.
Have you ever stopped to think what do you need to accomplish in order to make your week a successful one?
This is a very simple question but with tremendous value. I’ve come to realized that each time I’ve stopped and asked myself this question and write a few things down… I’ve always end up with a good week.
When you think about it, it’s a very simple process:
1) You asked yourself what you would like to see happen this week.
2) You write it down.
3) You do your best to make it happen during the week.
Give it a try and see the difference.
Let me share something that I’ve read… don’t ask me where because I don’t remember. It’s a good thing I wrote it down in my journal. Just enjoy it and don’t be picky. lol
A SUCCESSFUL DAY
To learn something new;
To laugh at least ten times;
To lift someone up;
To make progress on a worthy goal;
To practice peace and patience;
To do something nice for yourself and another;
To appreciate and be grateful for all your blessings.
You can add whatever you think is missing from that list and customize it to your taste.
To a successful week,
Jephtée E.
