Great! Here goes...
Live Richly
Every day is filled with opportunities for richness. To see those opportunities, all you need to do is look around with an open heart and an open mind.
There are places you pass quickly by every day without even noticing. Take the time to stop and explore some of them, and you'll find them filled with wondrous treasures.
There are people in your life whom you see all the time but you've barely even met. Take the time to get to know them, and you'll find yourself with some fascinating friends.
There are things that interest you that you've never fully explored. Take the time, make the effort to discover and fulfill your passions, and life will take on a new level of meaning.
Living richly has very little to do with how much money you have. Living richly has everything to do with how deeply and sincerely you appreciate the precious blessing that is your life.
Rather than letting the little things get you down, allow the real and meaningful things to lift you up. Make the choice, in each moment, in every situation, to live with richness, because you can.

Serve a Purpose
Does it serve any purpose to complain about things you cannot change? So why would you want to waste your time doing it?
Does it serve any purpose to fill your thoughts with regret and resentment over what happened long ago? So why would you waste even a single moment on such a negative, unpleasant pursuit?
You're far better off doing something that does serve a purpose. You're far better off using your time and energy to learn, to create, to love, to understand and experience life.
Your thoughts and actions are immensely powerful. Rather than using them to hold yourself down, put them to work on a valuable and positive purpose.
Use your energy to serve a positive purpose, and as a result you will have even more energy. Fill your time in the service of a positive purpose, and your life will be filled with truly meaningful treasures.
Choose the thoughts and actions that serve a purpose. And life will serve you its real rewards.

Make It Enjoyable
What if you could get paid for doing something that you consider enjoyable? What if you could improve your health, your finances, your relationships, your knowledge and your standard of living by doing things enjoyable to you?
The fact is, you can do all this and more. And it requires nothing other than an adjustment in your thinking.
For you are the person who decides what is enjoyable to you and what is not. What you find enjoyable is precisely what you choose to find enjoyable.
To make a particular task or activity enjoyable, you do not have to change that activity in any way. You can simply and easily change the way you think about it.
When you enjoy what you're doing, you'll be very effective at it and able to create much value. So choose to enjoy those things that will most powerfully propel you forward.
When you decide that something is enjoyable, you'll do it often and you'll do it well. Take what you have to do, turn it into what you want to do, and you can surely achieve great things.

Unpleasant Surprises
Life sometimes unfolds in ways you never could have anticipated or imagined. Even the most carefully laid plans can be turned upside down by something totally unforeseen.
When that happens, you could moan, complain, yell, scream, throw things and dive into a fog of self pity. But none of that would bring you anything of value.
When one of life's unpleasant surprises comes along, you may be tempted to use it as an excuse for becoming depressed, despondent, and giving up. But do you really want to choose to be miserable and ineffective?
Instead, realize that a positive response is every bit as possible and realistic as a negative one, and a whole lot more beneficial. When events knock you off balance, use the occasion not as an excuse to give up, but rather as a reason to push forward with even more determination.
When a ship gets blown off course to the east, a good captain will steer the vessel back to the west. In the same way, when life pushes you in a negative direction, your best response is to push back even more positively than before.
When an unpleasant surprise comes along, that's a great time for you to create a surprise of your own. Surprise the world with how positive you can be, and everyone will quickly be moving forward again.

Really Want It
If you really want it, you will have it. If it means enough to you, it will happen.
For if you really want it, you will find a way. You'll stop making excuses and start making it real.
The obstacles you encounter are not there to prevent you from reaching your goal. The obstacles are there to make sure you really want it.
When you really want it, you'll find a way around, under, above or through each one of those obstacles. And as you do, you'll be literally creating the value of what you intend to achieve.
When you really want it enough, it is in many ways already yours. Full and complete attainment then becomes a matter of going through the motions and following a path that leads surely there.
Decide what you really want, and be careful what you decide upon. For when you truly want it, you will make it so.

Things You Cannot Lose
When you worry too much about losing something, you've already lost it. For your worry prevents you from receiving any value out of whatever you're so worried about losing.
Things do change, and what is here today may well be gone tomorrow. You can worry and fret over that reality, or you can joyfully and lovingly make the most of all you have right now.
The joy that you fully experience, you will not lose. The love that you live and give, cannot be taken from your heart by any outside circumstance.
If you invest yourself too heavily in the fleeting, superficial things in life, you'll be setting yourself up for a shattering disappointment when those things are no longer with you. Instead, learn to treasure those real, substantial, meaningful things that time and events cannot erase.
Get in the habit of fully living each day with meaning and purpose. You'll find yourself worrying less about what you have to lose, and focusing more on what you have to use.
Express gratitude for all you have by making the very most of it. And you'll always have plenty to be thankful for.

Adapt to What Is
One of the most reliable ways to be miserable is to insist that everything around you always be a certain specific way. And one of the most reliable ways to make life continually enjoyable is to be flexible and willing to adapt to whatever comes along.
Real success is not a matter of being in absolute command of the world around you. The success that truly matters comes from being at peace with the world in which you live.
Being persistent will enable you to achieve great things. Yet being merely stubborn will keep you mired in perpetual disappointment.
By all means, set ambitious goals and reach for them. But don't trivialise the process by demanding or expecting that every little detail will go your way.
The more flexible you are about the stuff that doesn't really matter, the more able you'll be to accomplish the things that are important. The more willing you are to adapt, the more truly enjoyable and fulfilling life will be.
Adapt to what is. And you'll experience the very best of what can be.
