3 WAYS TO MAKE LIFE GREAT
When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme:

- Be kind, even to those who are being unkind. Kindness is about realizing that there is greatness in all of us–everybody deserves to be treated as valuable–even when it is not deserved. Kindness is intentional. In kindness mode, we bring the best of us to each situation. We listen more intently and connect honestly. The amazing thing about kindness is that when employed, both sides benefit. True greatness begins with kindness.
- Act on your dreams. In his book Infinite Possibilities author Mike Dooley, identifies that dreaming connects us with our greater self. Dreams often guide us to pursue our inate talent. They provide a catalyst for the generation of energy and the will to live large – to go full out. Dreams trigger vision, but success demands that dreamers transform mental images into action. Follow NIKE’s lead and “just do it”.
- Move towards what fits with your dream and start moving away from things that are out of alignment. If life isn’t so great, maybe it’s because you are living someone else’s definition of a great life. Have you ever put on clothing that didn’t fit? The garment may have looked great on the rack but not on you. People too frequently build their lives around what others want or how others are choosing to live.
Ask yourself:
What am I good at?
What am I passionate about?
What really matters to me?
