No, it’s not. There’s no “way it is.” There’s only the way we say it is.

I still follow my mom's advice and wrap my arms around those "ordinary-wonderful" moments.

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

"Right now, isn't this good? Hey, wrap your arms around it, okay?"

Be the one who reaches out to let other people in, not to use them, but to enjoy them.

Let's shred that list of shortcomings and weaknesses - our own versions of "stuttering," being "paranoid" or "mute."

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

Know what makes you happy. But don't wait til that thing "happens." Decide to be happy ahead of time...by just thinking about it.

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

Ask yourself the question. “What in the world am I doing here? And what difference will it make?

It's definitely time to loosen it up, take the lid off, let the balloon out to the end of the string, get crazy...and get it right.

Re-Imagine: It's time to get back in touch with our dreams, with what drop dead good would look like - in our work and our lives.

This would be a really good time to open up our arms... both to give - and to receive.

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

Take a look back in your life at the “experiences” you’ve had that you might’ve been tempted to write off as a “waste” of time and money.

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

No experience is ever wasted – not the good, the bad or even the ugly. And certainly, not the “hard.”

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

Ask yourself this question: What do I choose? To be right - and stop? Or to let it go - and move forward?

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

"We are made for this moment." We are. Not the last moment or the next one. This one. We the people...is us. Not somebody else.

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

"Our possibilities are limitless" Unless we choose to limit them. These are tough, times - and there is much that is out of our control:

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

Wow, what an incredible honor for Bob Dylan, the laureate of the rock era, to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature!

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

"What a wonderful moment...Aren't we lucky? Here we are together! We love each other...and we know it!"

[Gail Blanke @gailblanke]

So here's the question: What are you chewing on? What crummy, smelly "bad" thing have you sunk your teeth into?
