WEEKEND WISDOM

JUST  FOR  TODAY   - Josh Hinds

Just for today -- and in the event that the entire day is

too scary -- suspend your disbelief just for a moment and

consider the following...

  

* Just for today act as if you can accomplish whatever your

mind can conceive.

* Just for today smile at the person you might not know very

well, but for some reason feel as though they would benefit

from just knowing that others out there take notice.

* Just for today encourage someone. I can tell you that

through the work I do every day encouraging others through

my writing, speaking, or consulting, you simply can't

imagine what a positive impact such a simple gesture like

letting others know you believe in them can have. Try it --

just for today find someone (or even better several people)

and just let loose and rain down on them with some positive

encouragement.

* Just for today, know without a doubt that whatever

challenges you are experiencing, no matter how hard, are not

permanent.

* Just for today stop long enough to smell the roses (or

whatever flower happens to be nearby). Beauty, interesting

experiences, and all types of opportunities literally

surround us, but because we’re so dialed into what's going

on in our immediate bubble -- the challenges which are in

our immediate sphere we often let those "good things" pass

us by. Take a moment to just relax, go for a walk -- unplug

from your regular fast pace for just a bit. Take things in.

 Schedule a little downtime. If you’re thinking, "Josh, you

don't know what all I have going on, I don't have a second

free!" You’re right, I don't know your schedule. That said,

I know for a fact that if you'll make time (notice I didn't

say find time, I said make time -- and schedule accordingly

if necessary) you'll magically find the time you’re looking

for. Isn't it amazing how that works? :-)

* Just for today (and everyday for that matter!) choose to

LIVE BIG! You do this by living by choice, rather than

chance -- as so many end up doing. Living by choice isn't

overly complicated. It starts with writing out what you want

to see occur in your life -- and then writing down the steps

you need to take in order to get the results you're after --

and then every single day doing them. Easy to do, easy not

to do. But friend, don't be lazy here -- you deserve better

than that in life.

* Just for today believe that you are indeed an artist which

GOD has given a big bold canvas upon which you can literally

paint your perfect life on -- provided you’re willing to do

so.

Every single day remember...

It's Your Life, LIVE BIG!
