Giving

"You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it."
- Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Things to reflect:

How much do I give?
What do I give?
Why do I give?

Give more of yourself today.
Give graciously and gratefully.

Handling Defeats

"See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea."

- Guy Finley, author and speaker

Things to reflect:

Am I willing to let go of what doesn’t work?

If not, why not?

Consider your recent defeats and how those defeats are related to your approaches
and strategies.

If your strategy appears flawed, or has led to defeat more than once, let it go.

Adapt, adjust or replace that strategy!
