Today’s Inspiration ~ Dance On
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.

Today’s Good Word ~ Anticipate
When we anticipate we think of the future. We use our imagination to create a mental image of what our future looks like. What if we began anticipating a future where we worked together, shared resources, and inspired each other to do great things?

Joe: “My girlfriend and I went hiking. We got in an argument and she threw her GPS device at me.”

Today’s Good Word ~ Life-Giving
What are the life-giving forces that make you feel whole, more human, and more filled with energy? One way to think about it is to reflect on your life and ask, when was it that I felt most alive, most into the moment, most fully engaged? We’ve each had these experiences. When you’ve recalled these experiences, why not create more of them? Why not fuel your life with life-giving energy? You’ll change your life.
Today’s Good Word ~ Seeking
We usually find what we are looking for. Want to find fault in someone, you’ll find it. Want to find good in someone, you’ll find it. Want to demonize members of the other political party, you’ll find reasons. What are you seeking? What if you began your search by seeking all that was good within you? What will you find? I think you’ll find moments when you were kind, compassionate, and loving. I think you’ll find moments when you were successful, heroic, and an adventurer. C’mon, begin now by seeking all the good within you.

Joe: “My computer crashed after I spent two hours working on my paper for my night class.”
Pete: “What are you going to do?”
Joe: “Looks like I’ll have to put my name and date at the top of page again.”
Today’s Good Word ~ Appreciate
When we appreciate another we recognize the best in him/her and affirm what is good about them. The more we appreciate others, the more others begin to recognize their inherent strengths. Appreciation sends a message to another that what you bring to this relationship is meaningful, needed, and critical to its health. Who will you appreciate today? Tell him/her why you appreciate them.
