Boldness lives in you

Boldness forges a path to greatness. Go ahead and live the life your heart begs you to live.

You care about all you love, and that care generates great power. Plug in to that power and act on it, now.

This day is a blank check you've been given, with no limit on its worth. Your actions are what will fill in the amount.

If you feel no passion, if you feel no purpose, if you feel no confidence, do something good and right and worthwhile. Boldness arises when you see yourself making a difference.

Every good thing you can imagine is already connected to you. Follow that connection by putting one foot in front of the other with love, with caring, with joy and thankfulness.

Boldness lives in you. Today, let it drive you.

Everyday heroes

The most influential heroes in life are not those who get all the glory. All over the world are everyday heroes, doing what they do because they know it is good and right, and not for any recognition.

Everyday heroes work patiently and diligently behind the scenes to create meaningful value, day after day. They honor commitments and pay attention to quality.

Without humble everyday heroes, the world would be a dark and difficult place. Everyday heroes understand how positive and fulfilling life can be, and work to make it so for as many people as possible.

Everyday heroes know how satisfying it feels to make a real difference in the world. That satisfaction enables them to sleep well at night and to be quite comfortable in their own skin while awake.

It doesn't take any supernatural skill to be a real hero. All it takes is a genuine love of life and of all those who live it, plus a bit of decency, honesty and respect.

Remind yourself often what a blessing it is to live in a world filled with everyday heroes. Though they don't make the news, they constantly make a positive difference in more ways than can ever be imagined.
