It’s gonna be okay. Just because you had a bad day or a bad week, it doesn’t mean you have a bad life. Take it one moment at a time. Breath deep and exhale. Repeat. Listen to your heart – what’s it saying? It’s saying ‘It’s gonna be okay… YOU’RE gonna be okay.’ (Exhale)

I hope you’re having a terrific week!
Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Maya really is a marvel who has led quite an interesting and exciting life. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was “exciting.” Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day…like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words. “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow…I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights… I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life… I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a ‘life’… I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance… I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back… I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision… I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one… I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back… I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn… I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says,
‘Make me feel important.’ If you can do that, you’ll be a success not only in business,
but in life as well.
-Mary Kay Ash

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Plato
You cannot do a kindness too soon
because you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Kindness is more than deeds.
It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch.
It is anything that lifts another person.
Neil Strait
Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
Scott Adams
Kind words can be short and easy to speak
but their echoes are truly endless.

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

A few weeks ago, I posted The Holstee Manifesto Poster, This is Your Life. Today, I’m posting their video they creatively made from their poster. This Lifecycle video calls everyone to live a life full of intention, passion, and community.
This is your life, what are you going to do with it?
