Wisdom On The Web
Explore the emancipating process of letting go, empowering you to reach your true potential and manifesting the life you desire. Discover the power of releasing what no longer serves you and adopt personal growth instead. Enjoy and share the video at that link too. Letting go is powerful because it liberates us from the burdens that hold us back. Letting go also enhances emotional freedom, mental clarity, self-discovery, positive relationships, resilience and adaptability, manifestation of desires, inner peace and happiness, personal empowerment, health and well-being, plus the freedom to create.
Life Power Tip
Have less need to explain yourself to others. You really do not need to explain yourself to others to the extent that you do. There is a lovely poster I saw somewhere a line, which read, “I’ve seen ‘normal’ and it ain’t pretty”. Conforming to the behavior of the majority is not mandatory in life. Give yourself more permission to “be” you. A tree does not explain itself to you, yet its majestic presence is very clearly felt. A fish does not explain to you why it moves in one direction or another, yet it is beautiful to observe. Relax and be more you.
Action
Order a book that you have wanted to read, for a while.
Challenge
In a socially responsible way, go for the day without a care for what other people think of you.
Quote
I’ve missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot, and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -Michael Jordan
Clearing
Go through and tidy your video collection.
Question
What are your greatest strengths and how can you leverage those?
Affirmation
I choose to always value solitude and stillness.
Uplifting Extra
Listen to these songs that do something which most songs don’t do. They program your mind for success! Richard’s songs do that in a way that is fun, easy, fast and more efficient than many other ways that the average person has tried, and you can (ad) listen to one of his songs free.

More inspired self improvement every day!
It’s difficult to be inspired if you’re stuck in a negative state. Inspiration is not just a flash of vision, it’s a motivation that births creativity.
People who get inspired are usually the ones more eager to jump into a project and stick with it. Inspired people have greater confidence not to doubt themselves.
Every day, seek out personal moments of clarity, increasing your awareness of new possibilities that surround you.

Any content published by me at Forward Steps is never “absolute truth”. I simply direct you to a variety of ideas that prickle your mind and introduce positive resources to better equip your life journey.
In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes…
“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions”.
One favorite saying at my desk, is…
Whatever you focus on, WILL expand! Share on XThat’s one of many reasons that I love to share positive content. Forward Steps is for adding wings to our unique life journey!
Sometimes, you’ll find me recommending or presenting the same product(s) more than one time.
When repeating a training or using a tool that I’ve used or come across before, often I’ll “see” something brand new or have a fresh insight/perspective, that I might not have picked up on earlier. In that moment, perhaps I am finally “ready” to REALLY hear and receive its message or lesson.
It is not unlike seeing a movie for the second time and realizing that I’d not remembered seeing a particular scene, from the first viewing. As Nelson Mandela once said…
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
When you see something that has already been presented to you once before, then I invite you to revisit it anyhow.
Give up any judgement about whether it is “good” or “bad”. It JUST IS and you are alive, so you’re in luck. You get to choose, again!
I love these words from Gelett Burgess…
“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.”
Tens of thousands of people, from many countries & backgrounds, receive Forward Steps emails. Everyone is at different stages of their life journey, everyone is looking for different things and experiencing different things.
Some of us learn best by hearing, others are more visual and yet others love to gather information by reading. This makes for a phenomenal challenge, in satisfying everybody’s individual needs and preferences. Even should we assume “that nothing is impossible” – this challenge gives an awfully good impression of “impossible”!
We are all different. Seldom one solution fits all. I provide a vast array of resources (hundreds, in fact) to cater for a multi-dimensional audience and I always recommend you remember this quote…
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own. -Bruce Lee Share on XIn Lak’ech Ala K’in,
