Wisdom On The Web
Mark Twain was known for his ability to convey the truths of human nature through his writing and satire; he simply refused to live life too seriously. Enjoy these 16 Mark Twain quotes that I’ve collected for you. Following every quote, I have written a brief life lesson that could be learned from each.
Life Power Tip
At the end of any new year, write your 100 achievements for the previous. I have always found it a helpful exercise to list 100 achievements of the past year, before embarking on creating goals for the following year. I do recall one year, being stuck at 64! I stayed with it over a day or two. Whatever needed to be released, happened unconsciously. One morning I woke up and raced through the remaining 36. I felt acknowledged, complete, and very free to begin focusing on my “What’s next?”
Action
Call your best friend to say hello.
Challenge
Avoid the use of the word ‘should’, and replace it with the word ‘could’.
Quote
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless. -Rodney Yee
Clearing
Set up your own area, for work tasks. That kitchen bench is not “it”!
Question
Are you still paddling around in the streams, or preparing to go to sea?
Affirmation
I choose to have more and more fun.
Uplifting Extra
Do you feel something stirring in your soul, calling you to live your life in new ways? Are you experiencing a growing sense of a the interconnectedness of life? Pledge to follow these Seven Principles of Grace. By examining why we believe what we do, we can make conscious, more life-affirming choices.

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. The following tools will help.

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…

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,
