Follow your most Intense Obsessions 

Mercilessly

"​

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical;

don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. 

Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

​"​

Franz Kafka

On Happiness

​​

“This is the new year the new you. 

You can pass through another year, coasting on cruise control. Or you can step out of your comfort zone, trying things you have never done before, & make 2018 the year that you elevate from where you are & soar high. 

 Make it happen!”

One Word One Year Project

Now that the winter solstice has passed, New Year's Day is almost here!!! So, it may be time to reflect on the past 12 months (be gentle with yourself) and more importantly, come up with your guiding WORD or PHRASE for 2018! (a Quote of the Week Project since 2008!)

This word will guide you and sum up the essence and focus for the next 365 days of your life. Hopefully it will inspire you on what you want "TO BE" as opposed to what you need "TO DO" and maybe it will allow you to step back and look at the BIG picture:

What do I want to feel this coming year?

What kind of experiences do I want to have?

What results, effects, or changes do I want to see?

What will be your word or phrase that will guide you through 2018? Please Share! 

A poster with your word will be created and emailed to you free of charge (normally it's $49.99)

A Bonus Quote of the Week Classic...

At the end of each year, I ask myself two questions:

What do I want to create in this New Year? 

And, perhaps even more importantly, 

What do I want to let go of?

Look for and be a Helper!

Burn Brightly Today!

​

“A single candle can fight against any darkness and light up a room. Its glow can be seen for miles in the gloom of dusk. A single candle can comfort our spirit in a storm as its flame tangos with the shadows and flickers with resilient hopes. A single candle can show us the way simply by standing by our side. A single candle can inspire nostalgia and warm our very souls. So too… can a single person.

Burn brightly today.” 

Jason Versey

Insist on yourself

​“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.” 

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
