Love has no agenda …

The following quote from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States, has always been one of my favorites:
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
I have found comfort over the years in knowing that I didn’t have to be the most talented or the most educated person to get the job done. It is progressively clear to me, though, that persistence develops talent and spurs learning. It uncovers the genius in each of us.
Persistence is more than determination and resolve. It is work. It is the effort that must be rewarded. It is the practice that makes perfect.
Persistence is not merely hanging in there long enough. It is learning what creates the desired result — often after learning what does not. It is honing your skill and refining your love. It is believing that you can make a difference. It is trusting the outcome.… More

Is weight standing between you and the relationship of your dreams? Reaching a healthy weight is part of loving yourself well.

TIP NINE (only one more to go): Develop one awe-inspiring, calorie-burning habit just for you.

PRACTICE: What’s the most delicious way to burn calories you can imagine? Sex probably comes to mind. And it’s perfect! If you’re already having it, though, your commitment here would be to add sex.

If you’re looking for a partner to spend the rest of your life with and frequently find yourself disenchanted, consider raising the standard. I know, somebody else might suggest you lower it. Somebody else might tell you that you’re being too picky. But you wouldn’t really expect that from me, right?

There was a time in your life–if only for a moment–when you believed that anything could happen. Maybe since then, your dreams have changed. Maybe you’ve even lost sight of them altogether, but the dream isn’t dead. Because you’re not! Dream a new dream if you like; but make it the best one you have ever dreamed. Some might say to be content with what is, to be detached from the outcome, and just trust what comes. I agree! But don’t let that stop you from dreaming. Dream with the understanding that your reality will outshine your wildest dreams! And then let that reality begin in this moment. Let it begin with a thought, that inspires a feeling, that shifts to an attitude of faith, that provokes action, that gets real results. TFAR: Thought, Feeling, Action, Result.

Remember the miracle you are! And live a life full of miracles!… More
