Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all Kathy Hamilton

Happy New Years, You may have awakened this morning thinking, "It's 2010 already?! Where did 2009 go?" So I encourage you to think about exactly how you spent the past 12 months. I'm sure there are many things you have to be proud of. Work accomplishments. Personal successes. But as you look back at all you did in 2009... do you have any regrets? Any goals you were unable to accomplish? Any resolutions you made last January that fell by the wayside? Any objectives you wanted to meet... but just didn't get around to? If you're like most people, you'll have at least one disappointment. This is, after all, the fate of the high achiever. You set lofty goals for yourself. You have high expectations. But then the rest of your life somehow gets in the way... and you come to the beginning of a new year feeling disappointed... filled with regret and even embarrassment that you were unable to follow through. Wouldn't you prefer to start the brand new year with the feeling that your life is moving forward? With the knowledge that you are happier? That you are more confident in your interactions with others? That you have more purpose? Best of all, wouldn't you like to start the new year feeling relaxed? Able to enjoy your life, secure in the confidence that you had made significant strides to accomplishing all of your dreams? You can have all these things. You can accomplish your dreams. You can live the life you want for yourself.
I know that it's odd, at the dawn of 2010, to think ahead to next year. But you know as well as I do that 2011 will be here before you know it.
Wouldn't you like to wake up next January 1, knowing exactly where the time went... satisfied that you spent every moment of the year in the best and most useful way... confident that every day you took action that moved you closer to the life of your dreams? Kathy Hamilton

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light." ~Albert Schweitzer Humanity has different individual needs; humans need other humans. Each person thrives on human contact, whether they are business CEO or stay-at-home mom. We know from research that babies die when they are left untouched. Neglected children do not integrate well into society. How well do you fit? Do you need some encouragement or help right now - or know someone who does? Today, reflect back on your life and give thanks for those who have been "fire starters". Then decide to be that spark of life for someone else. I bet if you look around with eyes wide open, there is someone who struggles and needs you. I hope that you decide to join with them in their life. I can think of several people in my life that have "rekindled" my life. Times when a special someone offered me exactly the support and help I needed. It is true that together we make a difference in all our lives. Kathy Hamilton/simikathy

"The great successful men (and women) of the world have used their imagination...they think ahead and create their mental picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building-steady buildings." - Robert Collier
Having a vision for your business and your life is one of the best ways to attain success. Keep that vision ever in front of you...letting it be flexible and moldable, as the future becomes reality.
Today, be encouraged to write your vision down and place it in a prominent place where your eyes, your heart and your mind will read it every day. Don't be afraid to "nip and tuck" when needed. The wise person stays true to their vision without being stubbornly rigid. You too can reach your goals, in both life and business, by never losing sight of your goal!!

"Give others a piece of your heart, not a piece of your mind. - Unknown Our lives are lived at a fast and hectic pace. We border most days with Blackberry, faxes, texts and tweets! We hectically rush through drive thru lines and coffee shop queues. Impatience and irritations can build as we live faster than our emotions can handle. Building a business and making a difference in the world both require us to respond with tact, respect and courtesy. The next time you are tempted to react angrily or hastily at someone, take a step back, breathe deeply and consciously stop. A few seconds of repose can give you (and your opponent) the needed composure to answer without losing your cool! Then you'll walk away proud of yourself for being bigger than your emotions and that goes a long way toward your success, in business and most importantly, in life. Kathy Hamilton/simikathy

The Art of AppreciationAppreciation allows you to improve your relationships, create greater success and fulfill, and experience a deep sense of gratitude for yourself, for others, and for life itself.
Here are five principles of Appreciation-
The five principles of appreciation are designed to empower you with new ideas, perspectives, and practices for bringing greater appreciation, success, and fulfillment into your life, your relationships, and your communities.
Principle 1: Be Grateful-
Start where you are right now; focus on the good stuff in your life and the world in general.
When we stop and pay attention to all that we have to be grateful for, we find so much.
Gratitude creates success and fulfillment in our lives.
Being grateful for all that we have leads us to attract and create more things to be grateful for.
Principle 2: Choose Positive thoughts and feelings-
Our thoughts and feelings are incredibly powerful. Both what we think and how we feel have the ability to attract positive and negitive things into our lives.
When we are able to acknowledge and express our thoughts and feelings appropriately, we can consciously choose the positive ones that we want.
By focusing our thoughts and feelings in a positive direction, we are able to create a life of appreciation, success, and fulfillment.
Principle 3: Use Positive Words-
The words we use- toward others and about ourselves- have great impact.
when we use positive words, we are more likely to get what we want, create successful relationships, and feel good about ourselves.
Our words have the power to create, not just to describe.
Understanding the power of our words and using them in a positive way are both essential aspects of appreciation and acknowledgment.
Principle 4: Acknowledge others-
Expressing our appreciation and gratitude for others through acknowlegment is one of the most loving and empowering things we can do for those around us.
Acknowledgment, both reactive and proactive, is the best way for us to connect with people, let them know how much they mean to us, and motivate them in a genuine way.
Principle 5: Appreciate yourself-
Self- Appreciation is self- love. Self- love is the most important gift we can give ourselves. If we truly love ourselves, nothing much else matters. If we do not truly love ourselves, nothing much else matters either.
When we appreciate ourselves, we make it possible to honestly appreciate others and life in general.
Self- Appreciation is the foundation for all Appreciation.
What specific appreciation practices will you put into action on a regular basis in your life?

"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." - Elbert Hubbard How many times have you been discouraged because someone else did not see the brilliance of what you created, thought of, or wanted to do? How many times have you walked away from something because you decided it wasn't a good idea, too? Today, be encouraged that many of the world's greatest accomplishments happened amidst great criticism, skepticism and doubt. You can make your dreams come true - listen to your inner voice and ignore the outside critics. Did you know:
The movie Star Wars was rejected by every movie studio in Hollywood before 20th Century Fox finally produced it. It went on to be one of the largest-grossing movies in film history.
As a child, Sylvester Stallone was frequently beaten by his father and told he had no brains. He grew up an unhappy loner. He floated in and out of schools. An advisor at Drexel University told him that based on his aptitude tests he should pursue a career as an elevator repair person. It's not a bad profession but it's certainly not where "Rocky" ended up! Einstein was criticized for not wearing socks or cutting his hair. He didn't speak until he was four, and didn't read until he was seven. One observer noted, "He could be mentally retarded."
An expert said of Vince Lombardi: "He possesses minimal football knowledge. Lacks motivation."
Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher proclaimed him hopeless as a composer. Walt Disney was fired from his job as a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before he created Disneyland. Henry Ford failed and went broke 5 times before he finally succeeded.
Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, was encouraged to find work as a servant or seamstress. She would certainly never be a writer. In 1944, the director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency, told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), "You'd better learn secretarial work, or else get married." So… what are your ideas? Your thoughts? Your dreams? Who cares if anyone supports what you want to do?
The important thing is for YOU to believe. For YOU to ignore the people who say you can't do it – and DO IT ANYWAY! It takes courage. It takes persistence. It takes believing in the "voice inside" when no one else does.
Ideas, dreams and visions are planted within you because you have the ability to make them happen. You'll learn, grow, scramble, fail, and get back up again! The important thing is to simply never give up. The people I told you about never did – and they made great things happen!
And so can you! Kathy Hamilton/simikathy

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”
—Louisa May Alcott “Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their reputation or social standards never can bring about reform. Those who are really in earnest are willing to be anything or nothing in the world’s estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.”
—Susan B. Anthony “The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.”
—Susan B. Anthony “We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all the civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States, be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.”
—Susan B. Anthony, Declaration of Rights for Women, July 1876
“There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”
—Susan B. Anthony
“In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.”
—Nancy Astor
(British Politician) “For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.”
—Elizabeth Blackwell
(The first woman in the U.S. to become a physician) “We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost’s familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road—the one “less traveled by”—offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.”
— Rachel Carson “The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.”
—Sandra Day O’Connor “We’ve chosen the path to equality, don’t let them turn us around.”
—Geraldine Ferraro
(The first woman to be nominated as Vice President of the United States) “You can do one of two things; just shut up, which is something I don’t find easy, or learn an awful lot very fast, which is what I tried to do.”
—Jane Fonda “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.”
— Margaret Fuller “My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.”
—Mother Jones “Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.”
—Janis Joplin “Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”
—Helen Keller “If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse gift will find a fitting place.”
—Margaret Mead “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” —Margaret Mead

The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don’t agree with. • There is no reason to repeat bad history. • The question has been asked, “What is a woman?” A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices. You cannot even simply become a mother anymore. You must choose motherhood. Will you choose change? Can you become its vanguard? • I have not been animated in my life to fight against race and sex discrimination simply because of my own identity. That would mean that one must be South African to fight apartheid, or a poor white in Appalachia to fight poverty, or Jewish to fight anti-Semitism. And I just reject that conception of how struggles should be waged. • The essence of a free life is being able to choose the style of living you prefer free from exclusion and without the compulsion of conformity or law. • Affirmative action is the most important modern anti-discrimination technique ever instituted in the United States. It is the one tool that has had a demonstrable effect on discrimination. No one who knows anything about the subject would say it hasn’t worked. It has certainly done something, or else it wouldn’t have provoked so much opposition. • Affirmative action, by all statistical measures, has been the central ingredient to the creation of the Black middle class. • Most people think civil rights today is about “whether or not I’m turning down somebody at the door because he is black or female.” It doesn’t happen that way anymore. It is more subtle. It happens when women are asked at a job interview, “Do you intend to get pregnant within the next two years?” And it happens to women much more than it happens to blacks, because blacks have spent more than 300 years trying to educate the country about how perverse it all is. • I don’t for a moment believe that women have suffered the same kind of injustices that blacks have — women have never been enslaved. But still, many of the psychological and economic problems are the same. This country would go bankrupt in a day if the Supreme Court suddenly ordered the powers-that-be to pay back wages to children of slaves and to the women who’ve worked all their lives for half wages or no pay. • With children no longer the universally accepted reason for marriage, marriages are going to have to exist on their own merits. • There are not many males, black or white, who wish to get involved with a woman who’s committed to her own development. • I am proud to be an American, proud to represent 600,000 Americans, and proud to be in the only party pledged to make the District of Columbia the 51st state. • You can’t whip folks into line on statehood like you can on a budget vote. People have to believe in your cause.

Living your life with passion can become challenging if you are around people who do not share your beliefs. All attempts at maintaining a positive thinking and believing system may be stretched to the limits as you find yourself dealing with people who continue to see the glass as half empty. Here are 3 tips on dealing with these kinds of people. 1. Lead by example – Instead of telling your friends and family exactly what you are feeling and doing day by day, show them. You may be surprised at how observant people are, especially children. When they see you in a happy, relaxed state they will begin to pick up that things are different. Instead of reacting to a situation they will observe how you look for a positive outcome that will benefit everyone involved. 2. Set time aside for yourself daily – Insist on making time just for you each day. This should be uninterrupted time where you can think, write, breathe, stretch, and just daydream. Choose a time of day that will work with your schedule and stick to it as though it were an appointment. You may need to begin with a short period of time and extend it as the people around you adjust to it. You will find that your family members will respect this time and even remind each other that you are not to be disturbed for anything that is not an emergency during this time. 3. Invite those closest to you to become a part of your passion – living a passionate life is largely about having the time and energy to enjoy every precious event with those you love. By sharing what you are feeling and how it relates to them, your family will begin to understand what your particular passion is all about. Allow them to see how happy you are when you are involved in your passion. They may never know who you are deep inside unless you invite them in to see. As you become more experienced in this area your friends and family will feel more comfortable sharing their passions with you. In getting to know these people on a more intimate basis you will all grow and expand. If there are issues from the past that are painful you may find ways to work through them that will solidify the foundation of your friend’s and family’s beliefs. Living your life with passion is not a solo experience. It is one that encompasses all of the people that you come in contact with on a regular basis. Our life is what happens to us each day as we are busy making great plans for the future. The passion is in the journey. Walk the path slowly so that you will learn and grow with each step. Invite the people close to you to join you at times that are appropriate for each of you. In this way you can live the passionate life while showing others around you how to find their own passions.

Excellence There isn’t a ruler, a yard stick or a measuring tape in the entire world long enough to compute the strength and capabilities inside you. - Paul J. Meyer When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is an act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate in the creation of a better world.
- Scout Cloud Lee There comes that mysterious meeting in life when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be, igniting the circuits of our highest potential. - Rusty Berkus Excellence can be attained if you - care more than others think is wise - risk more than others think is safe - dream more than others think is practical - and expect more than others think is possible. - Anonymous
|
Success Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary. - Sarah Ban Breathnach More… The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
- Mark Caine Success is not measured by money or fame but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them. - Willie Stargell If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. - Henry David Thoreau It’s usually the last ounce of effort that tips the scales of success. - Rick Beneteau More… There is more to success than reaching goals. People have accumulated vast fortunes only to live their final years unfulfilled and spiritually poor. Success must also include a joyful appreciation of living — an authentic joy that pulls us toward the next episode of our life’s purpose.
- Steve Brunkhorst More… Success is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, wherever you are, however old or young, and bounding out of bed because there’s something out there you love to do, that you believe in, that you’re good at — something that’s bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again today.
- Whit Hobbs
|
Motivation You don’t have to get it perfect – you just have to get it going. Babies don’t walk the first time they try, but eventually they do. - Mark Victor Hansen True motivation comes from within - from the willingness to see a dream fulfilled - from the desire to leave the world better than you found it. - Steve Brunkhorst More… People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily. - Zig Ziglar When a goal matters enough to a person, that person will find a way to accomplish what at first seemed impossible.
- Nido Qubein
