43 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes
Wisdom On The Web
Spend time engaging in an inspiring hobby, listening to a song that brings joyous tears to your eyes, watching inspiring videos or looking at photos and spending time with pets and loved ones. This is precious time, people. Not a time for wimping out and saying it’s too hard or that you are too busy or insecure in your own power to hold light. This message is for those who are aware of the light (everybody).
Life Power Tip
Begin the practice of being present all the time. When you ‘are, where you are’ you will be amazed at how more simple life is and how uncomplicated things become. Think of it logically, whilst in the middle of a work meeting what is the sense of thinking about the phone call that you promised to your mother, unless you intend to take the action on that phone call right there and then. Better to have the call scheduled in a specific time in your calendar and out of your head.
Action
Decide what you most enjoy doing, and then look around for opportunities to do more of that.
Challenge
Face the situation and just complete whatever you are avoiding.
Quote
When our thoughts are backed by powerful emotions, they have a greater chance of being expressed through our actions. -Thea Westra
Clearing
Check the batteries in all appliances, including smoke alarms.
Question
Do you have a crystal-clear vision of what you desire to create?
Affirmation
I choose to feel certainty.
Uplifting Extra
Any time is the perfect time to reflect on the things we are grateful for and to express our appreciation to the people in our lives. To help you get in the spirit of gratitude, I’ve presented here a powerful video by filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg, accompanied by words from Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast. Louie’s video begins 3:45 minutes into the video, yet it’s worth watching his introduction from the beginning. I’ve also included a poignant gratitude poem that reminds us of the many blessings in our lives. The poem may not reflect the current statistics, however the message it conveys is still crystal clear and relevant.
Enjoy today’s video too!
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…

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,
