Life Power Tip
Clean up “that” area of your home or office. You know the one! Each day when you walk into certain areas of your home or office, you will feel either uplifted or an energy drain. If it is the latter, do something about that. Those things around you that take energy will affect everything that you work on today and even the way that you relate to people with whom you come into contact.
Action
Eliminate worry. Be concerned only with the things that you can influence.
Challenge
Create your personal list of 101 goals in 1001 days.
Quote
Do not THINK you are. KNOW you are! -Morpheus
Clearing
Clean behind all furniture, including the couch.
Question
Do you more often respond, or react, to events?
Affirmation
I choose to always do good things for my body.

Charles J. Sykes offers these fifty rules (life lessons) with advice for teens, not included in the self-esteem laden, reality-light curriculum of most schools. Here are truths about what kids will encounter in the world post-schooling and ideas for how parents can reclaim lost ground, not with pep talks and touchy-feely negotiations, however with honesty and respect. Sykes’s rules are frank, funny and tough minded. His book contains perfect (however, very old fashioned and much of it outdated) advice for teens. I’ll let you decide what’s still appropriate and relevant today. You might find that a few are quite sexist or offensive. Regardless, they are still interesting to read through, if only from a historic perspective.

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.

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…
