A. Joyful ideas from me
1.
“Success tomorrow requires preparation today, so consider what your best day would look like and create a path of least resistance towards it.”
_________________
2.
“Meditation can be as simple as fully focusing on one breath or giving someone our full attention when they talk to us.”

3.
“Becoming our best selves requires strong foundations, such as a good nights sleep, drinking enough water and a baseline of physical fitness. Conduct a survey and assess your foundations now.”

B. It was once said…
1.
Polymath Rabindranath Tagore on the interrelatedness of service and joy:
“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold,
service was joy.”
2.
Author David Andrew Gemmell on the importance of the subconscious and positive affirmations:
“Do not speak badly of yourself, for the warrior inside you hears your words and is lessened
by them. You are strong, and you are brave. There is a nobility of spirit within you. Let it
grow.”
______________________________...______________________________
C. Something to consider this week:
“We grow up unquestioningly absorbing many inherited assumptions about the world.
These inherited assumptions form our view and experience of the world and are not necessarily conducive towards our ultimate self-actualisation.
It is very common for these assumptions to be maintained without being tested.
Always be ready to systematically test your theories, maintaining those that hold true and adjusting those that do not.
Eventually, you will find yourself evolving rapidly towards a more balanced world view.
What assumptions do you hold?”
Until next Monday,
