Like a sponge, we soak up all the information that the world offers us. This broadens our horizon; it keeps the mind sharp and stimulates ideas. But our mind can only absorb so much! Sponges have limits, so regularly squeeze the liquid out; otherwise the sponge will start to smell! Give your mind space to process all the information. Keep what's useful, discard what's not and apply what's necessary. You can do this whilst exercising, listening to music, cleaning, commuting - find what works best for you.

Grow Your Aspirations
Think big, believe big, dream big and visualize big. The way we think, believe, dream and visualize, paves the way to success. That's not to say you can think yourself to success - but it's a starting point. So rise above the little things. Grow your aspirations. And expand your possibilities.

Feeling ill? Go to Work or Stay Home?
When we go to work feeling ill, we're probably infectious and unproductive. But if we stayed home every time we're ill, we'd be taking too many days off work. And if things are too busy at work then staying home isn't always an option. Know when to just get up and go to work, and when to do yourself (and others) a favor and stay at home. Rest and get better.

Listen and Silent
What is an anagram of listen? Silent. Silence accentuates listening. When you listen, refrain from speaking and also still the noise in your mind. Listen. Listen with an open mind and you'll hear the words. Listen with your heart and you'll understand what the words mean. Listen and you'll enrich what you have to say.

Like a Pencil
Have you ever thought about how we are like a pencil! Everything we do leaves a mark. Even though some marks can be corrected, there's still an imprint left behind. So leave a positive mark. A pencil works best only on some things, not on everything. In the same way, recognize your limitations as well as how you work best. Also recognize when to stop and use a sharpener to sharpen your attitudes and skills.

From Upset to Accept
When you're upset with someone, you give up your peace of mind. Don't stay upset. Free yourself from upset. How? Accept responsibility. Accept you're responsible for how you feel, irrelevant to how others feel or behave towards you. Accept responsibility & you'll experience peace of mind. Then as 'upset' diminishes, you're free to resolve why you were really upset.

Cook and Eat
You are what you eat. We’ve heard that expression countless times. Yes, it's important to eat healthily but it's equally important to pay attention to how we cook and how we eat. Nourish yourself. Cook and eat with care and good feelings. And don't forget to add the special ingredient, love.

The Meaning of Life
What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? What’s it all about? Do you try to make sense of it all by trying to understand connections between events and experiences? Maybe the meaning is to be found in our perception - as each one of us has our own unique way of seeing and understanding things. Or maybe it’s what we do with our life that ultimately determines the meaning of life.

Reality of Perception
How our reality appears to us says a lot about our perceptions, because our perception creates our reality. To change our reality, we need to change our perception. Remember we're changing only our perception of a situation or a person, not the person or the situation itself.

Start to Finish
Often we're able to accomplish a task better when we do it in small bits over time. It's when we have too many bits of unfinished tasks that our mind just starts to go into overload. Whenever you can, try to finish what you start. Finishing tasks leaves you with a joy of accomplishment and peace of mind. Go on, try it for a whole day. Finish a task before starting a new one and see how you feel at the end of the day.

Rocking Chair Guilt
Feeling guilty is like sitting in a rocking chair. We rock back & forth emotionally, but it doesn't get us anywhere! The next time you find yourself sitting in the rocking chair of guilt, hop off & move to a better emotional place. How? Ask yourself, what can I do to make amends? And then act on it. Do something constructive & you'll feel about yourself.

Patterns and Routines
Our life follows patterns that keep repeating: get up, go to work, go home, go to bed; eat, wash, clean. Even though these things happen regularly & predictably, they give a structure to our lives. They nourish and support us & are essential to our wellbeing. What other activities could you add to your daily routine that could enhance your life?

Enjoying Company
We benefit from enjoying the company of the people around us. Not only do we learn other people's life lessons but we also learn to improve our ability to communicate, tolerate and collaborate. But we don't always get to choose the company we keep. So even if we don't like someone, we can always find a way to enjoy their company. Maybe be less critical and more appreciative. Maybe find a common interest or show a genuine interest in their hobbies. That way you can share interesting tidbits you've picked up, a new exhibition at a gallery, a new recipe....
