I hope they help encourage the people that take the time to read them.
I know, personally, that i have read several of them and they pertained so something i was dealing with that day.

Great experience

Experience is something that can never be taken away from you. Though the material things you possess will rust, fade, peel, crack, break and become obsolete, the experiences you live through will stay with you always.

Every day is filled with so many opportunities to experience the richness of life. Yet it's all too easy to get into comfortable habits and fail to take advantage of those opportunities.

The greatest treasures you'll ever have are the moments you spend living life fully, moments spent with those you love and care about, moments lived passionately in pursuit of a vision, a dream or an accomplishment.

As you go through this day, keep in mind what an incredible, irreplaceable, great experience life is. Wherever you go, whatever your circumstance, fill the moments with meaning and richness. Today is a special day, a day to be alive. Live it with joy, with wonder and intensity. Your great experience is happening now

[JoelM05]

This is a great idea. Everyone needs a little boost now and then..maybe they'll make it a sticky.

Do you really want to ditch them? I have bad experiences in my past (as does everyone), but honestly, they made me what I am today. I have no regrets.

LBM, I love these posts!

What movie/show was the M O O N spelling from? I know it from somewhere. Was it a character with DS or something like that?

[daddybeast]

I have heard the LBM is wise and that his mustache proves it.

I like candy and LBM. Will my muscles rust?? I love pizza.

Your post is so true. Good or bad all memories have a place, some make us stronger and some are just lovely memories that will be with us forever. I try to spend time concentrating on my son as often as I can because time does fly by.

Good Post buddy.

originally it was from the book "The Stand" by stephen king.
one of the key characters was a mentally challenged young man who spelled everything M O O N. they made a mini series of it a few years ago.

Awesome read for anyone who hasn't read it.

I get busy with life sometimes and honestly am not bright enough to come up with insightful stuff myself, so this should be a useful thread to follow.

Self discipline

Self discipline is the way to turn your intentions into reality. Self discipline is the way to transform your weaknesses into strengths. Without discipline, even when you know what you want, you're unable to achieve it. Without discipline, even though you know what you don't want, you're unable to avoid it.

Self discipline is essential to living life on your own terms. It takes effort, it takes determination, it takes sacrifice, yet it is not a punishment. Rather, it is a fulfillment, the means to reaching your highest and best possibilities.

How do you "get" self discipline? You already have it. It involves nothing more than controlling your own actions, and you've been doing that since you were a child. To discipline yourself, you simply must decide to do it. The powerful tool of self discipline is yours to use whenever you're ready to start living life on your own terms.

I have this written in my old workout journal:

There is nothing I can't do. There are only things that I can't do yet.

Kindness

In any situation, you have a choice of how to react. When things are tense, frantic and hurried, stop and show a little kindness. An encouraging word, a helpful gesture, an offer of assistance or understanding can go a long way to turn things around.

It is easy to complain when things aren't going right. It is easy to criticize everyone and everything. But where does that get you? Perhaps a little kindness and understanding would help to change the situation. It certainly won't hurt.

People will respond to kindness. If you want someone on your side, if you want to persuade someone to see your point of view, one of the best ways is to approach them with sincere kindness and caring. It can diffuse a tense situation. It can help you to build rapport. And it must be sincere. It must come from the heart.

Try a little kindness, with no expectations of anything in return. It will improve your outlook, your effectiveness, and it might even lower your blood pressure! Put some kindness into the world and you'll like what the world gives back.

Positive outlook

A positive outlook does not depend on any particular circumstance. A positive outlook costs you nothing, and yet it can bring you so very much. How can you be positive if everything is going wrong? Because a positive outlook is a great way to get things going right.

The reason to be positive is not because of what has or has not already happened. The reason to be positive is because of how your positive outlook will shape the future. It will enable you to see possibilities that exist amidst the problems and obstacles. It can energize your actions and keep you focused on moving forward.

Is it naive to be positive, or just wishful thinking? Most certainly not. Though it's foolish to ignore reality, it's even more foolish to give in to negativity when that reality gets too difficult.

Every life is filled with positive possibilities. The more you acknowledge, accept and pursue them, the better off you'll be.
