Are we good at what doesn’t matter and poor at what does?
We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. — Thich Nhat Hanh

The first step to forgiveness is our understanding what it is and what it is not. (See last week’s post)
The second step is to realize what it is costing us not to forgive and move on. What is the price we pay when we hang on to our suffering; the energy expended, the emotional toll?

It was released 102 days ago on March 5, 2013.

PS. I’d read it (buy it here) if you have customers and want them to experience remarkable service. Lee’s book is the best Customer Service book ever written. Bold claim. Calls ’em likes I sees ’em.
Personal responsibility is being able to choose our response…
Everyday (think) positive: our thoughts, words, deeds, friends, what we watch, read, focus on.
Everyday (move) healthy: regular exercise, balanced diet, adequate rest.
Everyday (feel) gratitude: all day, pray without ceasing and in our giving we receive.
Everyday (work) contribute: we study, hone, practice, execute, read, teach, write, review, correct, learn, launch, revise, repeat, ship.
Everyday (nest) organized: mindfully organize the placement, use, storage, and disposal of our stuff.
