In these words, I can sum up everything that I have learned about life: It goes on. Robert Frost

Living at the speed we live today, faces glued to our mobile devices, subject to an unending stream of distractions, working, it seems, 24/7, it is all too easy to forget how fleeting time is – and what and who in our lives are really important.

The days quickly turn into weeks, weeks into months and before we know it another year has gone by. The pace is crazy. The stress and strain is relentless.

Here are five actions you can take to help you keep things in perspective:

1.  Share joy, not negativity.

2. Pay close attention to the effects of the media that you consume.

3. Choose your friends with care. If you strive to be spiritually strong, supportive and positive, seek out those who exhibit similar attitudes.

4. Leave your cell phone at the front door when you get home. At the very least set a limit on the time you will devote to your phone. And stick to it.

5. Make a list of all the things and people in your life you are grateful for. Read it every month.

You can get so focused on the “big” stuff that you often overlook the small things and the events – especially when to comes to family and friends – occasions that can make such a difference in your life and theirs. In our increasingly narcissistic era, try and remember, it’s not about you.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Joseph Campbell.

Follow your dream is a phrase we hear everyday. Easy to say, but a lot harder to do, proving yet again that nothing in life that is of any value comes easy.

Sure there will be setbacks. Mistakes will be made. Lessons must be learned, but if you are working at your dream, don’t give up. The best thing you can do in life is to work at something that is as close to the beat of your heart as you can get.

It might be an uphill fight, but if what you’re doing sticks to your soul, stick with it.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us. Earl Nightingale.

The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.

It determines the strength of all your other relationships, personally and professionally.

When you’ve got yourself right, you’ll get everything else right, too.

He who divides and shares is left with the best share. Mexican Proverb.

What is time if we don’t share it?

What is passion if we don’t share it?

What is experience if we don’t share it?

What is knowledge if we don’t share it?

What is love if we don’t share it?

What, indeed?

Hmmm… something to think about in these difficult times.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change. Paulo Coelho.

Change is the name of the game. Adapting to the shifting societal winds is what we seek to do.

It’s hard work. And it has to start with our changing our own minds first.

It takes a ton of courage but change we must or get left behind.

But here’s the thing. When it means enough to you, when you are willing and committed and persistent, you’ll get to where you are going.
