Whether I am alone or surrounded by others, my life is full of treasured moments. Everyone I meet has the opportunity to join me in the joyous celebration of life! I see the value in all people, no matter who they are.

I bring beauty to my own life and to the lives of others. By savoring my life, I give thanks to the life force that creates and sustains me. Each day I look for things that bring me joy. Every day I find moments I can savor and appreciate.

No matter what is happening in my life, I know I am valuable and my life has meaning and purpose. Because I see the beauty in my life, I am able to accept what comes to me and appreciate all of it. I am brave and courageous, and I live each moment.

There is so much beauty in life, both in big events and small, quiet happenings. I see beauty everywhere I look and find joy, peace, and love. I attract it from others and radiate it back to the universe to come around again.

Today, I appreciate and make use of every moment I have been given.

Self-Reflection Exercice – My generous spirit brings joy to others.

Franck Pasquet — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:42:58 +0000

I bring happiness into the lives of others when I make their life easier, even in small ways. Spreading joy also brings me happiness as well. So I strive to make the world a better place. I share my money with those who inspire me and those who need it more than I. I give generously with no thought of a “return on my investment.” I give simply for the joy of giving. I share the fruits of my talents with others. When I learn how to build something, I build them for others as well as myself. It is the same way with any craft or skill I develop – I share what I can do with others and we all benefit. I share my knowledge of the world around me with those it can help. I give advice and mentor others freely so that they, too, can prosper and live a fulfilled life. I give unlimited love, support and encouragement to those whose lives cross with my own. My time is valuable not only to me, but also to those I share it with. In many ways, each and every day, I strive to bring joy to others. Some of my actions may seem trivial, but they can brighten someone’s day. For instance, when I make eye contact with a stranger on the street and give them a warm smile, it may be the only warmth they receive that day. I know that I can make a joyful difference in the lives of others. Today, I plan to focus on others and do what I can to bring a ray of sunshine into their lives. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. Do I share my money with those who need a helping hand? 2. When was Continue Reading...

How to Achieve Greatness

Franck Pasquet — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:44:14 +0000

Everyone has a different vision of success in life. Your greatness can be defined as anything you wish; you simply need to do some self-reflection to decide what is most important to you. Here are some questions you might ask yourself: * How important is financial wealth to me? * Is having a happy or large family the most important thing in my life? * Are there certain skills or gifts that I would like to master? * When I die, what will be the most important goal I achieved? How To Achieve Your Goals It doesn’t really matter what you’ve set as your true calling, maybe it’s becoming a millionaire, living on the beach, or having a large family. The most important thing is that you have found your definition of greatness that personally applies to you. Your next step is to form an action plan on how to achieve this goal. It may take a lifetime, but the only way you’re going to get there is with a plan! Think Less Do More It’s easy to get lost in your thoughts and plans, but you won’t achieve greatness by daydreaming alone. You need to take some powerful action to get there! Greatness won’t just fall into your lap – you need to work hard in order to get there. Small Steps Your definition of greatness is probably a lofty, multi-year goal, which can be a very intimidating and daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be so bad when you plan things out day by day in small, manageable steps. It’s vital to take life day by day an Continue Reading...

Change is a blessing that I am learning to enjoy.

Franck Pasquet — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 03:05:39 +0000

I am grateful for the gift of change. Without change, I would never be able to grow, learn new things, accomplish my goals, or look forward to anything different than what I’ve got. Even though I may resist change at times, I am learning to enjoy its possibilities. Even when change is forced upon me and brings challenges, it opens new doors of opportunity. I now realize that a change that seems devastating can actually propel me into a better life! Where would I be today if I had not lost that job, causing me to seek a better, more fulfilling path in life? How could I have the husband I enjoy now if I had not left my old boyfriend behind? Change is one of the blessings that come with the power of choice. I can choose to leave things the way they are, or change them to something better. I can choose to waste my life fighting inevitable changes or take advantage of them and enjoy life. When life hands me lemons, I choose to make lemonade! Change allows me to learn and grow. As I strive to achieve my goals, I embrace the changes in my life that bring me ever closer to success. With each change, I become more knowledgeable, stronger, and more confident that I can handle whatever life may bring. I know that today brings its share of changes. I choose to welcome them all and allow myself to enjoy all opportunities that come my way. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. What changes am I resisting in my life right now? 2. How can I embrace these changes and use them to improve my life Continue Reading...

Being grateful for where I am forges the path to where I want to be.

Franck Pasquet — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:07:55 +0000

I make a conscious effort to give thanks for all good things in my life. The more I show my gratitude, the more good things I receive to be thankful for! When I awake in the morning, I give thanks for the new day. The good feelings I generate start my day in a perfect way, and I find that one good thing leads to another. This positive boost helps me fly through my daily tasks with energy and momentum. I thank my spouse for the things he does for me. This makes him feel loved and appreciated and he goes out of his way to do even more good things for me. It’s a never-ending cycle of love! I find things to thank my children for every day. When they do a good job on anything, I thank them for their effort, motivating them to continue. My happiness is even greater when I see them, too, discovering the joys of gratitude and telling others, “Thank you.” As my day goes on, I thank my co-workers for their efforts and my clients for their business. In return, I receive their loyalty and friendship. I thank my friends for being there for me. They’re always there to lend a helping hand and cheer me on. I realize that even the challenges of my day arise for good reason and I’m grateful for the lessons I learn from these obstacles. Invariably, my challenges bring me closer to my goals, in one way or another, as I seek solutions. Today, I strive to feel gratitude, enjoy it, and let it show in how I treat others.

I take life one day at a time.

Franck Pasquet — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 23:52:21 +0000

My life is a great adventure and I want to be able to appreciate every moment. Taking life one day at a time provides me the opportunity to do this. I let go of worrying about the past or the future and immerse myself in the present day. Each morning, as the dawn brings me a new day, I look forward with excitement to living with purpose. Each day brings me new opportunities. It’s like I get a fresh start on life every morning, and I love this feeling! I make no pre-suppositions about what the day will bring. If it brings challenges, I know I have the confidence to find solutions to overcome them. If it brings pleasant things, I can enjoy them and be grateful for their presence. Living my life one day at a time also gets me through the hard times in my life. If it’s a particularly difficult day, I remind myself that, “This, too, shall pass,” and I know that it is only one step – one day – in my life’s journey. I make the best of every day, for I know that I will not have this opportunity again. When I make a conscious effort to take advantage of everything each day brings, I find that there are more and more great days after that! Making a habit of taking life one day at a time reduces my stress, makes my life more exciting, and brings me more joy than anything else I could do. Today, I choose to let the past stay in the past, let the future bring what it may, and immerse myself in this present day. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. Do I l Continue Reading...

I can help myself by helping others.

Franck Pasquet — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 04:38:13 +0000

I believe that what I send out comes back to me many times over. When I help others, I am helping myself. Often what I send out comes back in unexpected ways. I don’t expect, for instance, to get rich because I bought coffee for the homeless man on the corner! But I do believe that the kindness I send out into the world bounces back to me in some form. It may be sooner or later, but it always comes back. I recognize that it is counterproductive to give only because of what I might receive in return. Doing so voids the point. I give simply because people are in need. As part of a family, community and society, I know that I need to help meet the needs of others. And by being confident that my own needs will be met, I am free from the tendency to hang on too tightly to what is mine. I believe that we are all fluid at our core. We are meant to overlap each other. When I am stingy with my resources and emotions, I build a wall around my little pool. Sure, the gorgeous fish that I’ve stocked my pool with won’t get away, but my wall also closes off the source of freshness and life. In due time, my pool would become stagnant. When I remain generous with my resources, I am free flowing and open to the influx of life from all around me. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. Do I hoard my resources out of fear that my own needs won’t be met? 2. When was the last time I gave to someone in need? 3. Does my life reflect a kind and generous spirit? Continue Reading...

I feel successful and I let go of all obstacles that stand in my way.

Franck Pasquet — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:58:21 +0000

I am a success! Each day I allow myself the luxury of enjoying the good feelings that come with my achievements. I am also confident that I can overcome every challenge. Rather than bemoan an issue, I seek solutions and take decisive action to continue moving forward toward my goals. To ensure my success in any endeavor, I divide my goal into attainable steps and then take action immediately to build momentum. [hana-code-insert name='content' /] As I complete each step, I reward myself. I feel good about it and proud of myself for accomplishing a necessary task that puts me closer and closer to my goal. It doesn’t matter if the task was small or if it only took a few minutes to complete it. A success is a success no matter how you look at it! So I feel good about my achievements and I let it bring me the confidence to move forward. When an obstacle raises its head, I tackle it immediately. Perhaps there is a way I can simply sidestep this challenge and move on. Perhaps it is really bringing me the opportunity to find a better way to get to my goal. Whatever the challenge, I seek a solution of action steps that keep me moving forward, even if there is a detour along the way. Today, I choose to complete at least one action step toward an important goal and celebrate my success so I can look forward to doing the same again tomorrow. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. Do I feel like the success I know I am? 2. What successes, large or small, can I celebrate today? 3. What action Continue Reading...
