NEVER miss
an opportunity
because it's set

too late at night

or

too early in the morning.

"We often talk about the way we talk, and we frequently try to see the way we see, but for some reason we have rarely touched on the way we touch." ~D. Morris

Learn to understand the ways you touch...

And then improve.

What are you doing with the space around you?

...and...

What does it communicate to others?

What does it look like? Your office, your desk, your home, your kitchen, your car...need I go on?

"Every interior betrays the nonverbal skills of its inhabitants. The choice of materials, the distribution of space, the kind of objects that command attention or demand to be touched--as compared to those that intimidate or repel--have much to say about the preferred sensory modalities of their owners." ~J. Ruesch and W. Kees

Watch yourself.

"There are no universal gestures.

As far as we know, there is no single facial expression, stance, or body position which conveys the same meaning in all societies."
~R. L. Birdwhistell

Watch yourself.

66

"By a man's finger-nails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by his trouser-knees, by the callosities of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt-cuffs--by each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent inquirer in any case is almost unconceivable."

~Sherlock Holmes

65

"Those of us who keep our eyes open

can read volumes into what

we see going on around us."

~E. T. Hall

You'll gain more by facing up to your fears than you ever will by running away.

Prayer may not change a situation

but it can change the way you experience it.

59

Strength

is not defined

by what
you can resist,
but by how much
you can expand.

58

Don't mistake predictability for peace.

Some of life's most important moments are born of chaos.

57

SING

JOYFULLY.

56

You'll achieve

balance

not by pushing

against your body,

but by following

it's lead.

55

Rather than battle your emotions,

make them your allies.


They hold the secret to

what drives you...

and what scares you.

Sometimes the lonliest moments

are the ones that show you

how strong you really are.



52

It's hard to jump high and feel down

at the same time.

There are no rules.
People will tell you there are rules you need to follow, but that’s not true. It’s an illusion.
There actually are no rules to anything you do, because you can choose to do whatever you want.
There are consequences to the actions you choose to take, but there aren’t rules. There’s a difference.
And if you break the rules every once in a while, you might find that the consequences are better than you expected.

When life gives you lemons,
just be grateful you got anything at all.

49

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Then sell the lemonade.

THEN use the money you made

to hire a security guard that will make sure

life never gives you lemons ever again.

48

When life gives you lemons,

kindly return them

and ask for chocolate.

47

When life gives you lemons,

stand up and yell,

"Oh yeah, I like lemons!"

46

Work harder than you're expected to.

Borrowed from Jessica at http://scoopitout.blogspot.com/

"The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others."

43

Learn to be patient.

And for the record, patience isn't an angry face, tapping your foot, loud sighs, and repeatedly looking at your calendar or watch.

Stolen from this quotes-of-the-week blog :)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

--Mark Twain

Figure out what you've been missing.

40

Be where you are.

When you're with someone,

Talk to them.

Ignore your phone.

Turn off your computer monitor.

Focus your gaze.

Ignore your phone.

Put down whatever is in your hands.

And ignore your phone.

Be where you are.
Be with who you're with.
