Moving Forward

"I skate where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."
- Wayne Gretzky

Pretty profound for a hockey player, eh ;o) Keeping your mind moving forward to where you want to be instead of where you have been can be a monumental task at times.

Past accomplishments can make you feel great but they can't be compared to what you are able to do today. Remembering your "glory days" can make you feel good about yourself and have you glowing with pride at the thought of, "Look what I did!" As soon as you've replayed one of your wonderful achievements over in your mind you should ask yourself, "What should I do next?"

You'd be surprised at how little time you spend reflecting on past successes if you continually ask yourself, "What can I do now?" Instead of dwelling on past accomplishments with an air of nostalgia you'll be using them as fuel for your next creation instead.

So take all your past achievements, both big and small, place them in a memory box in your mind and pull them out whenever you need inspiration to accomplish your next great success!

Do You Notice?

"People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy."
- Anton Chekhov

I don't know if I agree with this quote completely. Maybe because here in Montreal we seem to have so much more Winter than we do Summer.

I agree with the gist of it though…happy is happy, no matter where you are, what season it happens to be, who you're with, or how much you do or don't have.

When I'm happy within myself a summer's night with a soft, cool breeze feels just as good as a crisp winter evening looking up at the stars.

If I'm not so happy within myself then I can find something to complain about no matter what season or temperature it is!

What I've realized over the years is that I choose how happy I am. Being happy comes with practice and persistence and a true desire to get the most out of every moment no matter what is happening around us. It is a going within and deciding that being happy is more important than being right, even when you are right ;o)
