On a Lighter Note

Following on from the Lighter Note page on the website I thought I would provide just a few more quotes here each month.

The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end. Leon Trotsky

Virtue is never left to stand alone. He who has it will have neighbors. Confucius

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. Winston Churchill

What we anticipate seldom occurs, what we least expected generally happens. Benjamin Disraeli

Whoever does not regard what he has as most amply wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world. Epictetus

Prose 'n Poetry Corner

Each month I will look through my notebooks and find a little bit of prose 'n poetry. Often written in a few minutes, so please don't expect Wordsworth, but hopefully these entries will provide a little interlude in your day. A chance to think and ponder, to daydream or to visualize, to perhaps see things in a different light.

Please see what you think and let me know if it is useful or not - highlights some valuable points but in a lighter vein . . .

Oh, what can we do
we need to act, we know that too
we need to be able to manage our life
we need to succeed and overcome any strife

Be sure to make life's payment
don't forever be in its debt
in life you need to make a statement
act, be positive and productive, try not to be inept

Why are you in such a hurry
what is there that you must urgently do
what responsibilities do you try to carry
when will you make the real breakthrough?

Is my life in a crisis
there is so much that stresses me
life will not give me a hiatus
I must somehow rise above things and find a way just to be

I've had a vision
I now feel much more aware
with life I need a communication
lest I just sit around and merely stare
I need to trust my intuition
respect myself and really care
for I can see my own perception
is caught up with what I see and how I will fare

New Developments and Sister Websites

You may have noticed some red links on some of the web pages. Clicking through these links will offer you opportunities to have a say (AND a page on the website). These subjects will be expanding in the coming months.

This is your chance to have a real say and contribute your thoughts, your feelings for the benefit of all visitors. Get your thinking caps on and help another visitor along the way.

The following gives the first of the 'red links' I have created for you. Enjoy playing YOUR part in assisting others in this way

Feel free to offer your own thoughts and ideas - please just keep them focused on the subject of the page (there will be several more on different areas of topical interest in due course). Or see what others have shared and add comments to their input.

Have your say and your presence on the Internet - YOUR very own web page. This is your chance.

Don't be shy - we have been together some time now. Let me know what you would like to see on my websites and in this ezine. Contact me now.

I will continue to add focused content and expand the www.self-esteem-enhances-life.com website but I will also be building my other websites, too.

My second website is www.successful-decision-making.com This is all about making decisions and to help you in making the right decisions for you.

Find out how to make that important decision. Why not have a look now! All best, Martin

My third website is www.guide-to-managing-change.com which helps us all to handle change better and looks at the consequences of change and the challenges involved.

My fourth website is www.everyday-wisdom-revealed.com which provides a resource looking at wisdom, insights, everyday knowledge - much of which we already know - which may have passed under our radar. Pop along for a read!

The idea of the site is to have little snippets, an insight a page, easy to read, thought provoking but topical - something for everybody.

My aim with these ~~three~~ four websites is provide a one-stop information and inspiration center to help support and assist us all through life. And help us all get the most out of our lives.

Main Article

Each month there will be an article, with fresh content, that goes into a subject in a little more detail. Perhaps give a different stance. Perhaps provide food for thought. Perhaps . . .

This month a different theme.

Life requires effort

Walking is not enough, life requires effort.

Things rarely drop into your lap, all easy and gift wrapped.

No, to get the most out of life you have to do your bit, too.

And it really depends on what you are doing and where you are going. But.

But to get anywhere in life - physically or otherwise achieve something - we have to give a little of ourselves.

We cannot just expect everything to fall into our laps. Life is just not like that.

You may feel things should be coming your way, and at times they do.

But if they are not, and even if they are, should you just sit there with your feet up and waiting for more?

Or should you get stuck in? Roll up your sleeves and take part.

It is your life after all.

Take some responsibility for your life and what you do and the things you care for - and the things dependent upon you.

Try to find some meaning in the things that you do. Do things with meaning.

Try to find some purpose in the things that you do. Do things with purpose.

Try to find something extra in the things that you do. Do things with conviction.

Try to find some satisfaction in the things that you do. Do things with a content heart.

Try to find some significance in the things that you do. Do things with determination.

Try to find some benefit in the things that you do. Do things with resolve.

Try to find some lessons in the things that you do. Do things with an open mind.

Try to find some energy in the things that you do. Do things with spirit.

Be committed to the things that you do. Give of yourself.

Find some peace and contentment in the way that you live. Get some strength from that.

Find your own way in life and tackle life head on.

Give of your best and you will find your just rewards.

Hope you enjoyed it and found it beneficial. Be inspired to become more in 2012. Make the most of every moment you have. Martin

Look at your own life and what you can do - and your website is in their somewhere - just waiting to get out.
