Don’t wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel. Stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.
Sara Henderson
One of the worst things to wait for is for things to change. A lot of time can pass sitting in the dark waiting for someone else to switch on the lights.
If you find that your current situation is not serving you as well as you would like, take charge. Either get up can create a new set of circumstances or change your attitude about the ones you are in.
It’s never your circumstances that hold you back. It’s how you think about them.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.
Ram Daas
When you first read that quotation, you might think, “Well duh.” Of course if you are quieter, you will hear more.
Just because we know something is true, doesn’t mean we always act on it.
Is your day filled with noise? Finding a little quiet time is a terrific daily ritual that let’s you stop, breathe and hear the voice of your own wisdom instead of the hustle bustle of the world and your inner chatterbox.
Set aside some quiet time – even 5 minutes – and listen to what you have been
missing.

Wealth is the number of things you can do without.
Dostoyevsky
Sometimes we get caught up in the collection of material possessions and lose sight of the richness in the simplest of things.
Take some time to consider what you really can’t do without. Chances are it doesn’t come from a big box store or with a fancy label.
Ask yourself what you might gain from downsizing, decluttering or simplifying. You likely are far wealthier than you think.

In what ways are you wealthy?
Never mistake motion for action.
Ernest Hemmingway
Are you constantly in motion?
Perpetually busy?
Just because you don’t have a spare minute doesn’t mean that you are engaged in purposeful activity. If you find yourself with a lack of energy or enthusiasm, take inventory of how you are spending your time.
Chances are there are lots of tasks that keep you busy but don’t help move you closer to your goals. Giving up some of your busy work makes more time and energy for activities that are fun, meaningful and satisfying.
