Todays BOOST to survive the day

There is a Texan saying that goes, "When you throw dirt, you lose ground."

Our politicians could learn from that one and it might stop you from doing it next time you feel the urge.

Have a great weekend , relax and catch you on Monday.

Todays BOOST to survive the day

Someone once said, "A good friend is cheaper than therapy."

If that is the case and you are being a good friend, you could be saving your friends a lot of money.

We are sometimes so busy and frantic we don't want to stop and take 2 minutes to have a chat. That's all it takes, 2 minutes. A lot can be said in 2 minutes and you could make a massive difference to someone's day by doing so.

Have a great afternoon.

Daniel L. Reardon said, "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip."

What a perfect quote for these times.

When I looked at the home page of nzherald.co.nz for an idea of what is happening today the news was all bad. This afternoon have some fun, smile and remind your friends, colleagues and family it's not all bad.

Have a great afternoon.

Todays BOOST + helping others

Anne Frank said, "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Sometimes helping others is a big ask because we generally either have to donate time or money to something that doesn't quite fit with us - it's someone elses idea of how to help.

I found this story today about a man who is making a big difference to people in his own way. It might give you an idea of how you can help.

Have a great afternoon.

Todays BOOST + Over-indulge

There is a Chinese Proverb that goes, "Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think."

It is later than you think - there are only 8 1/2 weeks until Christmas - YIKES!

So, enjoy yourself this weekend. Over-indulge and relax. It's been a big week and you have an extra day to get over it.

Todays BOOST + happiness

Jacques Prévert said, "Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it."

And on a day like today, when the rain is back, I think we need to remember that and trust the sun will be back before Tuesday.

Have a great afternoon.

Ralph Marston said, "Excellence is not a skill, it is an attitude."

If you have a good attitude you are more likely to achieve excellence, and on a day like today (it's sunny in Auckland), it should be a lot easier.

Have an excellent afternoon.

Todays BOOST + technology

Technology. Why? Well we couldn't send thousands of emails in a few minutes without it, but today because of a technical issue, we couldn't send emails with it. Hence the minimotivator is late today.

So I found this quote that says it all .

"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards." Aldous Huxley.

Hopefully not to far though.

Have a great evening.

Todays BOOST + check out the Goodie Bag

Calvin Coolidge said, "We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once."

So if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed today, just remember you cannot do everything at once, but you can do something. Do it now and you will feel you have achieved something.

Have a great afternoon.

The last minute.
It has been said that if it weren't for the last minute nothing would get done.
But what about those last minute calls, changes and emails that happen just as you're running out the door, how do you deal with them?
How about just forgetting them. Would that work? Or, do you have to do them and be late.
Make sure you prioritise your day and do what's important to you.

There is a quote that goes, "There is nothing wrong with stomach butterflies! You just have to get them to fly in formation!"

What it is saying is that there is nothing wrong with being nervous. In fact it can be exciting. You just have to get those butterflies working for you.
Next time you're nervous imagine lining those butterflies up. Taking the time to do so will calm you down and give you a BOOST of confidence.

Take your goals for a test drive . This is easy if your goal is a new car, boat, horse or house. But not so easy if your goal is a relaxing holiday.
However, there is a solution - your imagination. when you were a kid and wanted a new toy you would imagine playing with it, you would draw it, you would go to the store and check one out. You would talk about it incessantly until you finally got it.
Do the same with any of your goals and you will be surprised at the speed in which they happen.

Celia Luce said, "A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life."

Hold any problems you've had today at the proper distance and they will be put in perspective: Tiny bumps on the road.
