We are constantly told that our lives are a reflection of out thoughts and actions. People who think negatively all the times often lead very sad and depressing lives, and people who think positively often lead very fulfilling lives.

So in your marriage, are you choosing to think lovingly about your spouse?

When you were dating you were always focused on the positive, and as a result you had a beautiful relationship that lead up to marriage.

But then for some reason after marriage we begin to find things that we want to change and correct in our spouse. And then it gets to the point when we stop focusing on the good at all and all we focus on is the bad. We then wonder were the love went.

Try this. Whenever you find you want to correct something in your spouse. First decide if it is really so necessary. In most cases you will find it is never necessary. Second, think positive thoughts about your spouse.

About your husband – Loving, dedicated, handsome, caring, supportive, good father, etc.

About your wife – Beautiful, Loving, graceful, self sacrificing, wonderful mother, etc.

I have often found that when I am starting to feel frustrated about something my spouse does I just begin to focus on how grateful I am that I have been blessed with such a beautiful and amazing wife.

Give it a try. For the next few minutes, just think about how special your spouse is, how fortunate you are to have such a spouse. Reflect on that feeling. I’m sure you’ll agree that it is much better than the feeling you have when you criticize.

You read it correctly. It’s not a typo.
Why is it that people feel that they can make a declaration of their intentions once a year, and all will come to fruition?

If repetition is the mother of learning, then we are going to have to be a little more repetitive about our desires and intentions.

I don’t know about you, but there have been numerous times were I come up with a great post idea, only to have it disappear in my busy mind, because I forgot to lock it in.

If things only had to be stated once to be remembered, day planners would cease to exist.

If you want to achieve, yearly, monthly, weekly and daily objectives, you need to be intentional about what you want and how you are going about doing so.

Here is a 4 step process that you can use to really move forward.

1. Create four folders labeled: 5 year, This year, This Month, and This Week

2. Reflect on what goals you would like in your “Five year” and “This Year” folders.

3. In your “This Month” Folder determine your strategies for the comming month to help you reach your mid to long range goals.

4. In “This Week” Plan out your coming week with your meetings, and actions for the week to help you reach your “This Month”, mid and long term goals.

If you are going to resolve to do something once a year you might as well not bother even making the statement.

If you are going to resolve to do something 52 weeks a year, you are going to succeed.

A friend just sent me this great video. It really helps put into perspective how we often view ourselves in this world. And how badly we need to give ourselves a little shake.

On Friday, on my way home, I stopped by the Saeco Espresso Store. I like checking to see if there are any good deals. I am just about ready to purchase a machine, I’m just waiting for the right one at the right price.

While I was speaking to Kevin (salesperson), I became fascinated by how much of an art there was to making this popular beverage. Yes you could by a automated machine that does all the work for you, but by doing so you would miss out on the ritualistic experience of creating your own perfect cup.

Did you know when making an espresso the grounds should be tamped (pressed) in the filter at 18lbs pressure?

There used to be this tea emporium near my home. I would go there to by my green tea. It was always such an experience in ritual. The owner would not have you just buy some tea. He would have you sample it in the traditional Chinese way. By the time I left I would feel like I just spent a day at the spa.

As I prepare to enter the world of self made espressos and cappucinos, I would love if you would share some of your insights and rituals.
