DO Something

Have you got dreams? Big hopes for what your perfect life would look like? That's great. Build on those dreams. Nurture those dreams. Hold onto your dreams -- but for goodness sakes, DO something about them. Get off of the balcony and down into the action. Make your goals matter -- set them into motion. Get busy today. -- Douglas Brent Smith

The Value and Risk of Emotion

Have you ever been so angry that it forced you to do something about the situation? There's tremendous energy in emotion. It can force us into doing something positive and definitive. Or, it can create an urgency that leads to problems. The key is keeping control. The power is in staying centered and strong. The opportunity is in maintaining your compassion as well as your courage, your clarity as well as your creativity. Once your emotion propels you into action, can you safely let it go? If you can, it will avoid much trouble. If you can't, trouble will catch you. -- Douglas Brent Smith
