Needless Needs
Do you really need to win every argument? Even in the unlikely event that you win an argument, what have you really gained?
Do you really need to arrange things so that you can feel superior to everyone else? Even when you’ve been hurt by others, do you ever really receive anything of positive value by hurting them in return?
Do you really need all the many things that you strive to consume or possess? Do you really need to spend every moment concerned about what others will think of you?
How much of your time and energy do you spend satisfying needs that you don’t really need? Imagine the sense of freedom that would come from simply letting go of the most useless of those needs.
Practice focusing your effort and attention not on what you must get, but rather on the best you can be. Real abundance comes more from quality than from quantity.
Spend less time striving to acquire and possess and satisfy every perceived need, and you’ll have much more time and energy to truly live. The less you need, the more real richness your life will have.
Make each challenge pay 
Challenge can make you stop, or it can make you unstoppable. It all depends on how you respond. Challenge can compel you to make valuable improvements that you never would have attempted otherwise. Challenge can open your eyes to a whole new level of possibilities.
When the challenges come, gladly accept the energy that they have to give you. Greet each challenge with the expectation that it will make you stronger, more capable, more experienced, more effective.
Then jump right in and get to work on that challenge. The more quickly and enthusiastically you get started, the more real value you’ll be able to gain.
Challenge will give you the opportunity to discover how very much you can accomplish. And knowing how much you can accomplish sets you up to accomplish even more.
When there is a challenge in your life, it’s only a matter of time and effort before that challenge can be transformed into a real and lasting treasure. Take the time, put forth the effort, and you’ll surely make each challenge pay.
Somewhere new
No matter how many places you may have been, there is always somewhere new that you can go. No matter how many ideas you may have already explored, there is always something new to consider. Nothing can energize you
in quite the same way as going to a place where you’ve never been before. Whether it is visiting a new physical place, considering a new concept, or making a new friend, each new experience adds much richness to life.
When you seem to be stuck, and not making any progress, a change of scenery is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Whether it is for fifteen minutes, a weekend, or a month, going somewhere new and different can get you moving forward again.
It may seem like a waste of time to stop what you’re doing and switch your attention to something else. Yet often, the best way to maintain your focus is to give that focus a rest for a while.
By gaining a new perspective, you can re-connect in a powerful way with your purpose, your passion, with the energy that drives your life. By experiencing yourself being somewhere new, you can learn valuable new things about yourself and your world.
If would, of course, be foolish to try to run away from your problems and responsibilities. Yet when you take the time to get away to somewhere new, you’ll gain new insight and energy for successfully addressing those
problems and fulfilling those responsibilities.
On a regular basis, go somewhere new. And keep fresh, positive energy flowing into your life.
Your job is to determine your outcomes by your intentions. What are your income expectations? Are they in alignment with your time and budget?
