3 Functions of the Mind

• Negative

• Positive

• Neutral

• Complicated never seems to work. Simplicity…Simplicity…Simplicity.

• Remove the walls in your life. Free yourself. Make your own rules. Liberate yourself.

• You don’t talk to people. You talk to their minds.

• Say “yes” to life. Yes to wonder, to joy, to despair. Yes to pain, yes to what you don’t understand. Try yes. Try always. Try possible. Try hopeful. Try I will and try I can.

• Starting each day I should try to learn something new about me, about you, and the world I live in. So that I may continue to experience all the things as they have been newly born.

• If you are willing to risk, to suffer, to be hurt, you will know love.

• Questions can be stronger than statements.

Magic Question

Why am I on Earth?

P.S. If you are in search of a book recommendation, our team at The Daily Coach highly recommends Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen by Dan Heath. Upstream probes the psychological forces that push us downstream —including “problem blindness,” which can leave us oblivious to serious problems in our midst. This book delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than reacting to them. How many problems in our lives and in society are we tolerating simply because we’ve forgotten that we can fix them?

To help us get better and continue to better serve you, we would really appreciate if you would take a quick 2 minutes of your time to answer a few short questions so we can work to grow and improve The Daily Coach!
