Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Are You Waiting for Life’s Dues? by Jane “Life won’t deliver what we expect.†There is no silver platter or silver spoon with your name on it. In other words, if you’re sitting around waiting for the dues you expect from life, you may be waiting forever and end up with nothing but disappointment and regret. Instead, be grateful for the fact that your life is what you make it. Relish and rejoice in the power you hold in your own two hands. You are the one that can go out and make things happen. So why not dare to seize new opportunities and enjoy the satisfaction they bring? You alone hold the pen that will write your life story. Start a brilliant new chapter, today! Your love for yourself will work miracles in your life. Take full responsibility for your life. Stop blaming others. See yourself as the cause of what happens to you. Do things you like to do. Don't stay in a job you don't like.Participate in life at the highest level you can. Stop terrorising yourself with your thoughts.Be gentle and kind and patient with yourself. Give yourself the simple pleasures of life abundantly.Wear clothes you feel good in, get a massage etc. Watch what you say. Avoid self put-downs.Stop being critical of yourself and others.

It’s nice and comfortable to stay where you are, without taking action, without making progress. Yet after a while that comfort turns into stagnation, and you’ll feel painful regret for not moving forward. Now, however, you have the opportunity to avoid that regret. Now, you have the chance to make valuable use of this very moment. It really doesn’t take much to get started, and the payoff can be enormous. Once you make that first small effort, the next one comes more easily, and the one after that even more easily. Soon, you’ll have real, solid momentum. And before long, you’ll have a real, valuable achievement. Life is yours right now to live. Start with one small effort, and fulfill your greatest possibilities.
