People ask me fairly often how I've kept myself motivated to blog virtually every workday for the past six years. It's simple. I begin every day with the following commitments:
1. Creativity
Today I will make something new and different and thereby change the world for the better.
2. Resourcefulness
Today I will become strong by overcoming obstacles with persistence and flexibility.
3. Enthusiasm
Today I will permit myself to become excited in anticipation of whatever might happen.
4. Perceptiveness
Today I will look beyond my preconceptions to see the truths that I missed before.
5. Appreciation
Today I will remember the miracle of conscious existence, which is all too soon over.
6. Sensitivity
Today I will remain aware of the emotions of others and how they interact with my own.
7. Relaxation
Today I will spend at least one hour doing something that's just because I enjoy it.
8. Happiness
Today I will do my best to remain happy, regardless of the circumstances of the hour.
9. Power
Today, I will use some of whatever power I possess in the service and for the welfare of others.
10. Health
Today, I will take action to ensure that I'm in better health than I was yesterday or the day before.
11. Wonder
Today I will sit back and marvel at the unexpected, without which life would be boring.
12. Playfulness
Today I will express, at least once, the joy of the child who still lives inside me.
13. Gratitude
Today I will be thankful for all the wonderful things in my life: my family, my friends and, yes, my work.
Have a wonderful holiday and fabulous 2013!
