Be Happy Now!
|  | |
Making others happy is one of the best ways I know to have a great day for me.
Do you know what happens when you are nice to someone? Both you and the person you are kind to end up with a great feeling. Your serotonin level increases. It's that relaxing, calming hormone that makes you feel good all over. Here's a bonus. An observer to this act of kindness also feels good, and their serotonin levels increase as well.
The great thing about the majority of items on this list? They cost nothing. Please determine the appropriate deed for each individual in your life.
Gotta run. I need a serotonin fix. Let's see. Who's next on my list?
1. Smile.
2. Help them carry something.
3. Send a thank-you email.
4. Call just to see how they're doing.
5. Pick them flowers.
6. Cook them a nice meal.
7. Tell a joke and laugh your butts off.
8. Clean.
9. Write a love letter to a loved one.

I'm Looking for Dreamers
|  | |
There is a principle of nature called structural tension. It says that tension seeks resolution. Tension will look to resolve itself wherever there is a greater pull.
Let me try to explain. Let's say you have a rubber band. At the top is your dream or goal and the bottom is your reality. Whichever one you are more committed to is the direction you will move. So, if you extend the rubber band and there is a greater pull in the direction of your dream you will move towards that goal.
However, what happens to most people. They think of something they want to accomplish that will stretch them in some way and they then begin to ask questions. Their "gremlin" called doubt creeps into the equation. I'm too young or old, not enough time or money, what will people think, etc. Bam! That quickly they go from creating something wonderful to nothing at all.
That wasn't the case with Kim Bachstein. I recently met this dreamer at a business event. She owns a gift basket business. However she also told me about a new charity organization she just launched called the Angels That Care Foundation.
One day she had an idea of creating a NFP that was going to change the lives of families on a local, regional, and national level. She resolved the structural tension by doing something very simple. She took the first step. And each day she takes one more step.
Angels That Care Foundation is now in multiple states and sprouting up all over the country. To quote Kate Hudson's character (pic) Penny Lane from the film Almost Famous, "It's all happening!". Please visit Kim's site and spread the great word!
How about you? Are you a dreamer? Are you looking for a place to jump start the process? My Success Teams might be able to help. Click on the Success Teams Forming tab on the left.
Create a great day!

Blog
Well, a number of people have encouraged me to begin posting a blog. So, I decided what the heck, let's do it.
With me, if I could borrow a quote from Forrest Gump, "you never know what you're going to get." So be prepared to read anything and everything on this forum.
I hope to be posting something soon.
As always, CREATE a great day!
