Reason #7 Somebody Needs You...

Have you ever thought about that person who quit everything. The person who just gave up and got regular job. What about that person who you saw on the news who seemed fine but suddenly committed suicide. What if you could stop these kind of things from happening? What if you could be that somebody for somebody. That somebody who turned things around by being there, by just smiling or just by caring. Sometimes that's all a person needs to keep going. I've been there, you've been there...We have all been there. But we all need to stop. We need to stop being observers. Don't talk about the girl who seems to be a lillte off. Try to help her get back on if that's what you think she needs. Don't talk about it...be about it.
My Daily challenge to you:
Be that someone. Stop the next suicide. Stop the next bad day from happening. You have the power within you to end the sadness, loneliness or unhappiness happening somewhere...So use it!

Reason #6 Well Why not?

These days it seems like everyone needs some sort of reason to do everything. In class I am always disappointed when students interrupt a lecture to ask if this is going to be on the test. Is that all you care about? You are not interested in learning? The same principle applies to everyday life. It disappoints me to see a person who may have a lot to offer, but only offers his or her full love to someone who they seek a romantic relationship with. This person neglects his or her friends during every romantic pursuit, and comes back in shambles to their extremely patient friends every time.
Your friends and family who are there for you daily deserve your love. Your full love, not the half baked love you have reserved for them in the back. They love you and have always been there for you constantly...So why don't they get the royal treatment? Why do you save your real love for people you barely know just because they are a potential love interest, just for them to take your heart, stomp it and leave it for your friends and family to carefully reconstruct for the next love interest that comes by.
My Daily Challenge for You...
Do something really nice for someone who loves you for no reason. Make them an incredible meal or buy them a present for no reason to show you care. Call them for randomly and ask how their day is going or take them out to the movies your treat just to show you care. Love the people who are always there for you...Why not? You don't run much of a risk of getting your heat stomped on by this person.

Reason #5: It's what we were made to do...

Our extremely conscious existence allows us the unique opportunity to be completely aware of our surroundings and able to plan for the future. This is a blessing and a curse. If we use it to our advantage and avoid letting worries and fears of what we think might happen burden our advantage we can move forward without missing a beat. Fear prevents us from crossing boundaries that our within our reach and abilities, but take a challenge. Our bodies are designed to move, not stay still. Why do you think it feels so good, and there are so many health benefits? Similarly, our souls of designed to love, hard and deep. Why do you think it feels so good and natural and comes with so many psychological benefits?

My Daily Challenge for You:

So there is a person that you really just cannot stand. They did something horrible or they are just irritating. They always have something to say or they are always bothering you. The mere thought of this person is now raising your blood pressure. Think about the real reasons you dislike this person and evaluate if they are that bad. Could their reasons for being irritating could just be their own buried issues that are penetrating their everyday life. A personal attack against you is usually not even personal; it has more to do the issues of the attacker, they really don't even care about you. If you care about yourself you will learn to appreciate this person and the lessons they teach you about yourself and how you deal with annoyances. Anger and hate are emotions that eat away at you, not them, so if not for them, do it for yourself. I challenge you to convert your hate towards the most annoying person in your life into love.

Reason #4 Time Is A Non-renewable Resource...

Once you use a moment of your time there is no getting it back. Every decision you make is a life changing decision whether you know it or not. Spending a lot of time on decisions that seem to be extremely important is fine, but don't forget that even the decision to take a certain route to school can be life threatening. Think of your time as money and figure out whether or not you can afford to spend another moment on self hate, self pity, impatience, etc. I choose to avoid spending another second on emotions like envy and selfishness because unlike money, I can never know which second is my last.
My Daily challenge to you:
Today I challenge you to be more aware of the time you are using. When you have a less than pleasant experience, which we are all destined to have, evaluate whether or not you can afford to use your time on being negative about it. Capitalize your time by choosing exactly how you want to feel, regardless of what happens to you. Many people in you life have invested in your happiness, so when you waste your own time you're wasting theirs too.
