Quote of the day - Dwight Eisenhower, "Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it."

Bucket List

Do you have a Bucket List?  If you do not, then you should complete  a Bucket List.  I have read many books, listen to lectures and people do concur that if you have a goal, write it down,  You have a better probability of achieving the goal.  If you do not write it down, then it is only a dream that exist in your head!

Here is mine and still a work in progress:



Kindness Today from, everyday kindness, June 16th:   Show Yourself Loving Compassion.  Envisage a loved one feeling hurt or upset.  Imagine what you would say to them, how you would comfort them, reassure them, care for them and make the m feel better.  Summon up these feelings of compassion and now direct them forward yourself.
