It’s not the wanting, hoping or wishing. It is the visualizing and then as Nike said, “Just Do It.”
A friend sent me this at the start of the new year. One of her friends sent it to her. Perhaps you’ll be inclined to share this with one of your friends. We all need to keep this in mind:
The way to achieve is not to try. The way to achieve is to do.
The difference between trying and doing is all in your perspective. That difference makes all the difference in the world.
When you see yourself as trying, you are burdening yourself with the expectation of failure. Instead, put all your energy and focus into doing your very best, and into expecting the best results.
Merely trying is itself an excuse, and it gives you permission to make all sorts of other excuses. Doing, on the other hand, gets results.
If you’re going to make the effort, then make it count. Let go of any thoughts that you’re just trying, and embrace the most positive expectations.
You are absolutely capable of making a real and valuable difference. So forget about trying, and with well-deserved confidence, go ahead and get it done.

Every year at Christmas we decorate inside and out. We move approximately 170 Rubbermaid containers that are stored in two off site locations plus our outside yard displays to our home. We begin on the inside (first) in the first week in November. Our goal: to finish by Thanksgiving Day. This year we finished exactly one month from the date we started in November. What you’re about to see is the end result. We haven’t shown it all, but there’s enough for the viewer to enjoy. We hope you do.
We wish you a Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays to all.
Living richly is not necessarily a matter of living extravagantly. Living richly is living with purpose, with meaning, and with authentic joy in every moment.
You don’t need a certain set of circumstances to enjoy a life of richness. What it takes is a profound sense of gratitude for the life you have.
On this very day, in this very moment, you can live as richly as anyone. You can give great meaning and fulfillment to this moment by simply appreciating the fact that you’re in it.
Life’s endless goodness and richness surround you even now. Open your awareness to the positive possibilities and choose to live them.
Be truly rich, not by virtue of what you have, but by how much genuine meaning you give to each moment. Be truly rich, and let life’s goodness freely and unceasingly flow through all you do.What do you think?
