DAILY GURU

TO CHOOSE TIME IS TO SAVE TIME

You always have enough time if you will but use it wisely.

Your dilemma goes deeper than having a shortage of time, it's basically a problem of priorities.
Most people leave undone those things that should be done, while they do things that they shouldn't be doing.

Set priorities for your goals.

A major part of successful living lies in your ability to put first things first.

Most major goals are not achieved because people put second things first.

Is what you're doing getting you closer to your objectives?

Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time.

Don't serve time; make time serve you.

DAILY GURU

YOU CANNOT FAIL WITH A PLAN

Wanting success isn't sufficient enough to get it.
You have to ask yourself,
"What am I going to do to get the things I want?"
Your problem is how to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step carries you along to the next step, like a track.
All you need is the plan, the road map,
and the courage to press on to your destination.
You cannot get lost on a straight road.

YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY

It's a universal law: You have to give before you get.
You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest.
The more you sow, the more you will reap.
In giving to others, you will find yourself blessed.
The law works to give you back more than you have sown.
The giver's harvest is always full.
Those that obtain have little.
Those who scatter have much.
Nature does not give to those who will not spend.

DAILY GURU

ACCEPT CHANGE WITH A SMILE

Sooner or later you'll experience a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success.
Since the beginning of time,
everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis.
A closer look will show you that most 'crisis situations'
are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.
In fact, most changes in your life will take place out of either 'inspiration' or 'desperation.'
Whatever comes your way,
give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
Your personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.
A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.

DAILY GURU

Focus on what you want

"A good intention clothes itself with power."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our minds are incredibly powerful. We put that power to work for us when we consciously set an intention to be or do something. Get into the practice of consciously setting an intention for every activity in which you are involved.
Your intention might support efficiency – for example, to complete a job or project by a specific time. Your intention might support your personal growth, e.g., to undertake a task that scares you. Or it might support more soul connection, e.g., to see beauty in the chaos of your day.
When we make an effort to set an intention, no matter how trivial it may appear, we are taking the time to choose what we want for ourselves. And clearly, this is essential for our growth – to actively, thoughtfully choose what we want for ourselves.

"By becoming a conscious choice-maker, you begin to generate actions that are evolutionary for you."
-- Deepak Chopra

DAILY GURU

THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS IS DESIRE

Reality forms around your commitment to succeed.
Your desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.
If you're willing to pay the price, any of your circumstances will change.
If you want something badly enough, you're sure to get it.
Obstacles don't matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there.
But, if you want something badly enough, you'll find a way to get it done.
You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.
Desire is the fire of life.
