give, give, give it away in bucketfuls.

you’re going to change the world some day. actually, you’re doing it right now. in little ways and big ways. in unexpected ways, too. believe in the mark you will leave on this place. it’s bound to be a great one.

human brains are built to focus on one thing at a time. research shows that when you try to multitask, you actually aren’t doing multiple tasks simultaneously. instead, your brain is switching from one task to the other very, very rapidly. hmmm, the multitasking myth. not exactly the most efficient ways to get things done.

ok, so, maybe you can’t do it all at once. but you can still do it all, in good time. one thing, one thing at a time.

{thanks to my mommy, for gently reminding me of this whenever need to hear it most. and to billy joel, who magically does the same.}

is valuable beyond measure. be mindful of how you spend it.

the world is conspiring to help you.

. ok, so sometimes it seems like the whole world is against you, and everyone is just insisting on making things so darn difficult. but really, the world is on your side. everyone wants to see you do well. everyone wants you to reach the highest of heights and become all that you are capable of becoming.
. so the next time your boss gives you a challenging assignment or your teacher slams you with an impossible test question, just remember that they want to see you do well. they want give you that stellar review, to see you earn that A+ mark. it feels so good to see someone soar, and the world is just waiting {with bated breath} to see you do it.

you are unstoppable.

that little bump in the road? it’s got nothing on you. you’ve made it this far. and you. are. unstoppable.

your body is a healing machine.

every now and then, your body needs a break. too little sleep, too little care, and wham, you’ve got the sniffles. just remember, your body is a healing machine. it wants to feel better, and it will. so rest, relax and let your incredible immune system do what it does best. before you know it, you’ll be feeling 100% you again.

{for K. feel better!}

{question for you}

what’s on your mind? what do you need? what little note can I write for you today?

I dare you...

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:17:00 -0500

…to say “I love you.” those three little words can move mountains, really.
