Smilingual Thoughts 1/18/2022 CURIOUS
Be insistently curious. Test the bounds of reality. Once you get the answer, ask other questions. Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why. Goal of education is to replace an empty mind with an open mind. Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/17/2022 MOMENTS COUNT
There is more to life than increasing its speed. The whole of life is but a moment of time. Make each moment count. For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves. Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Being…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/16/22 FINISH

There are two kinds of people, those who finish what they start and so on. Defeat doesn’t finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits. One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks. SMILE ~ To finish first…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/15/2022 HOPE
When the world says, “Give up,” Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.” It’s the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. Don’t give up on a dream because you can’t see anything happening. Walk by Faith not by sight. Everybody liv…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/14/22 YOU CAN

You Can. You Will. “This is where I am, but this not who I am.” You may be in a limited environment now, but do not allow the environment to get into you. You are not who people say you are. You are what God says you are. People do not have the final say. God has the final say. Stretch. Grow. Learn. SMILE ~…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/13/22 PEACE
Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your Soul. Re-tune your life. When we get upset and frustrated we are out of balance. Come back to a place of peace. Relax. Keep the telephone of your mind open to peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety or fear try to call…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/12/22 EXCLAMATION MARK
Embrace His Grace. Everything you need is within reach. Open your eyes and don’t miss out on ideas, opportunities, people placed in your life to help you reach your destiny. The answer may be right in front of you. It may look small and ordinary, but our Creator can make you bigger than you are. He can…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/11/22 FUEL

Winners never quit; quitters never win. Remember, man doesn’t live on bread alone; sometimes he needs a little buttering up. A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success. Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around.…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/10/22 ENERGY
It’s always your next move. You have got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed is a chore and you are not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice. Energy creates energy and is the power that drives us. It’s not lost by exertion but maintained by it. Takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan. Our…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/9/2022 KINDNESS

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be gone from this world tomorrow.

Always be a little…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/8/22 BLOOM
Bloom where you are planted; even amidst weeds. Be your best right where you are. The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort & convenience, but where they stand in times of challenge & controversy. Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/8/22 IMPROVEMENT
When you reach the top, keep climbing. Whatever you do get better at it. You are doing your best only when you are trying to improve what you are doing.

Smilingual Thoughts 1/7/22 HABIT
Bad habits are easier to abandon today than tomorrow. Habit is overcome by habit. It cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time. Put first things first and begin with the end in mind. Divide each difficulty into as many parts as necessary to resolve it. You are what you…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/5/22 SMILE
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. 20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/4/22 PRODUCTIVE CALENDAR

To change one’s life: Start immediately. Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. Success will never be a big step in the future, success is a small step taken just now. We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once. It is the…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 1/3/22 ACTION

Inaction is an action. The important thing is to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. We need new experiences to grow, without them something sleeps inside us, and never awakens. Always do that which you cannot do, in order that you may learn how to do it. Go out on a limb,…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 12/30/21 NEW DAY
Don’t make New Year resolutions, make New Day resolutions! Whatever you want to do, do it today. There’s only so many tomorrows. To think too long about doing a thing often becomes it’s undoing. What is not started today is never finished tomorrow. Goals are dreams with deadlines. The impossible is often the…[Read more]

Smilingual Thoughts 12/28/21 INCHES
Do first things first, & second things not at all. If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there. You can be 2 or 3 degrees off course and walk into a wall, instead of through a doorway. Many a careers and personal lives are broken by lack of direction and focus. Winning in business or in…[Read more]
