SELF IMPROVEMENT AND MOTIVATION

Thanking someone for a job well done is not only polite, it also helps to build relationships and motivate the recipient to continue contributing his best work. When writing a thank-you letter, follow standard letter-writing etiquette, using a sincere tone and being specific about how the person contributed and what his efforts mean to you or to your organization. Basics Send the letter as soon as possible after the event or project you're thanking the person for, ideally within 24 hours and no more than two days later. Etiquette experts usually recommend sending a handwritten or typed letter for a more personal touch, but if you know the person well and frequently communicate by e-mail, that's also appropriate. E-mail is also acceptable if it's important to send the letter quickly, advises the Emily Post Institute, especially if it's sent as "a prelude to a handwritten note." If you're sending a handwritten or typed letter, use high-quality paper in white...

If you’re not ruffling a few feathers, you’re probably not getting much done. If you’re not running into difficult problems, then you’re falling far short of your potential. You are superbly equipped to meet great challenges and to create great achievements. If you’re just maintaining the status quo, there’s a whole lot more valuable stuff you could be doing. What you did yesterday was fine for yesterday. However, today is a new day, filled with new possibilities, so get busy exploring those possibilities. Make yourself a little bit uncomfortable by reaching a little beyond what you’re sure you can do. Challenge yourself in a meaningful way, and you will quickly grow to meet those challenges.  Ruffle a few feathers, including your own. Explore the vast territory that lies beyond your comfort zone, and discover value you never knew existed. This is a new day, so live it as a new day. This is your opportunity to add something to your life and your world that’s never been there before...

You can do it if you choose to do it. So choose now to do it. Set a goal and make it happen. Keep going until you have it done. The way forward may involve some complexity and a good deal of effort, yet at its heart it is not complicated. Boiled down to its pure essence, success is just a matter of choosing to make it happen, and then using the best of what you have to get there. The days ahead will surely pass no matter what you decide to do with them. Decide to make good use of them, to show yourself and all the world how good life can be. Step decisively away from the excuses, past the doubts and beyond your hesitation. Step into a satisfying sense of momentum and achievement. Choose to actually do what you really wish to do. And choose to take great delight in all that’s necessary to make it happen.

Keep yourself active, and make all that activity count for something. Keep yourself active, and keep yourself accomplishing. Before you devote your valuable time to anything, consider what it will actually accomplish. Invest your time in purposeful, meaningful activities, not in empty busyness. It’s great to stay busy. It’s much more advantageous, though, to have something to actually show for being so busy. A moment wasted can never be regained. A moment spent in meaningful accomplishment, however, can extend its value indefinitely. You have more than enough time to achieve whatever you choose, if only you will respect and make full use of the value of that time. Step back, look at what you’re doing with your time, and remind yourself it is among your most valuable assets. With the time available to you, keep yourself accomplishing. Let go of the meaningless, wasteful pursuits, and exchange your time for the rich, wonderful life you deserve.

 Live your passion, live your curiosity, and live your dreams. In this moment, live your values. With each person you meet, live your compassion, your respect, your authenticity. Don’t just think about, or wish for, or admire whatever is most meaningful to you. In every moment, in every action, in every word and thought, live it. Spend your time really, truly enjoying whatever you enjoy. Go beyond the mere appearance of richness and fulfillment, and live your richness, live your fulfillment. Stop doing things just to say you’ve done them. Do whatever you do because there is something deep inside that implores you to do it. Life is yours to live right now. Be true, be you, and be filled with the unique joy that is yours to experience.  

You have vast amounts of unrealized potential. Now is your time to transform the good things that could be into the good things that are. There is great abundance in this universe. Today is a fresh new opportunity to harvest and express that abundance in specific, meaningful ways that will enrich all of life. Yes, it can be done and you can be the person who does it. Yes, it will take significant effort and you are able to make that effort. You’ve already proven how capable you are by navigating your way through life’s many and varied challenges up to this point. Now, seek to take on new challenges and to create new value. Whatever you have already achieved, you owe yourself the splendid, satisfying experience of working to achieve even more. Your unrealized potential has been waiting long enough, so jump forward and bring it to life. Throw away all the excuses, step beyond your doubts and hesitations, and go for it. Feel the great treasure that’s already so very close, and make it rea...
