Daily Wisdom: Appreciate Every Good Day It feels so good when things finally start to go right after they've
been going bad. Like if you've been sick for two weeks and then finally that day comes when you get out of bed and
the cough is gone and the energy has returned. You feel so thankful for your health and for your life that you
just want to jump up and down and shout to the heavens. So why don't we do that on every day of good health
that we have? Don't get complacent in paying attention to how good things are when they are good. You'll
be begging for these days again one day.

Daily Wisdom: Embrace Your Challenges Bad times are a reason to celebrate. Being down
is filled with optimism. What? Really? Yes. Finding yourself caught in a struggle when everyone else feels that you are losing
is just the time when the most glorious achievements occur. When watching a sporting contest, which game seemed more
exciting, the one where your team won 100-0, or the one where your team was down by a seemingly insurmountable deficit with
just minutes remaining only to see them come back and win. Which victory seemed sweeter? So you see, when your
down it is just the perfect opportunity to rise up to a spectacular finish, a fantastic outcome, a rewarding experience.
Be thankful that you are given challenges in life that awawken you to your true potential to succeed.

Daily Wisdom: Abandon Fear, Embrace Faith Franklin Roosevelt once said, "The only thing to
fear is fear itself." How right he was. Today it seems that most of what motivates the world is fear. People
fear losing their jobs, their relationships, their money, their security, and their lives. People will push and step
over anyone in their way to their dream of success out of fear that they won't achieve their end goal otherwise.
The fact is that it is the fear of loss that often creates the loss to happen. What you think about most is
most likely to come true. Don't let fear enter your lives and don't let those in power use fear as a tool over
how you think and how you live your life. Let faith and common sense rule your mind instead. A goal achieved out
of faith is a dream come true; A dream manipulated out of fear is a nightmare.

Daily Wisdom: Redefine Success How do you define your success? Is your inspiration
for success determined on what the world defines for you, or do you have your own ideals that guide you? Do you strive
for money and possessions and power because that is what the world defines as being important and successful, or do you simply
seek happiness? If you simply want to be happy, then keep that as the focus of your drive to achieve instead.
Don't let the world dictate your idea of succcess. Your feeling of success will be your own, not someone else's.

Daily Wisdom: Consistency is the Key! Be consistent. Anyone can have a dream, but
what are they doing about it on a daily basis. You can't just put your dreams in a closet and dust them off every
few months. Don't make New Year's resolutions, make daily resolutions. Resolve yourself to doing something,
anything, even if it involves just a few minutes of action towards your goals. You can often accomplish more in consistent
little pieces than in infrequent big ones. Stop starting over and over from square one when the mood strikes.
Instead work consistently towards your dreams on a daily basis.

Daily Wisdom: "This too shall pass." "This too shall pass." Every
moment of every day is still just one temporary moment. Whether good or bad, today will give way
to another day filled with more fleeting moments. So remember, when times are bad, don't worry, they soon will
go away. When times are good, cherish and appreciate them for they too are temporary. The good days are
more likely to replaced by more good days if enjoyed and not taken for granted. The bad days are more likely to
be replaced with more bad days if dwelled upon. So break this quote into two parts of "Don't stress" and
"Enjoy the moment" for "This too shall pass." Quote attributed to Solomon, Abraham Lincoln,
and 1 Corinthians 10:12.

Daily Wisdom: Be Aware of Your Internal Monologue Ever get that song stuck in your head? You know
how that one song keeps repeating in your head, and then you turn on the TV or the radio and there it is again. You
just can't seem to get away from it. You just keep humming it all day long whether you like it or not. Well
the same is true of just regular thoughts rolling through your head. Either the positive ones repeat themselves over
and over and over again, or the negative ones do. The internal thoughts you pay attention to grow and grow. So
be careful what you think about. Keep it positive, keep it inspired.

Daily Wisdom: I Can Do It! Today's mantra is "I can do it. I can do it.
I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can
do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it." Let no other thoughts of doubt enter your mind. Let
that little engine in the storybook be your guide today.
