BEING FOREVER YOUNG: FROM AN AGELESS BEAUTY

“There is a fountain of youth:

It is your mind,
your talents,
the creativity you bring
to your life.

When you learn
to tap this source,
you will have truly
defeated age.”

- Sophia Loren
Actor

THE SEVEN-DAY CHALLENGE – FROM A ZEN MASTER

Want to change your life? Want to do it this week?

Here is my wish for you and every other child, woman, and man on the face of the earth:

#1. Spend one week saying only kind, caring things to yourself.

#2. Say thank you at least ten times an hour -- direct five toward yourself and five to the world at large.

#3. Compliment yourself (and others) each time an effort is made.

#4. Notice all the wonderful qualities and characteristics about yourself and those around you.

One week.
You will never go back.
And your whole life will be a glorious meditation.

SECRET FORMULA FOR HAPPINESS…

The secret formula for happiness:
Make other people happy.
It's about others.

The secret formula for motivation:
Motivate other people.
It's about others.

Will Allen Dromgoole figured this out years ago.
She lived from 1860 – 1934 and wrote over

7,500 poems. Here's the one she's most famous for . . .

THE BRIDGE BUILDER

An old man, going down a lone highway,

Came in the evening cold and gray,

To a chasm vast and wide and steep

With waters rolling cold and deep.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim

That swollen stream held no fears for him

But he turned, when safe on the other side,

And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,

"You are wasting strength with building here.

Your journey will end with the ending day

You never again must pass this way

You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide --

Why build you this bridge at the eventide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head.

"In the path I have come," he said,

"There followeth after me today,

A youth, whose feet must pass this way.

This chasm that has been naught to me,

To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.

He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;

Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."

Remember: It's about others . . .
