Welcome To A New Day!

About This Welcome To A New Day Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Tue, 10 May 2011 11:13:18 PDT

Hi, you've arrived at one of my older blogs, the Welcome To A New Day blog and you'll still find great content to explore. However, Welcome To A New Day is no longer a blog that I regularly update because all my activities and resources and now focused into the My Forward Steps Member site at www.myforwardsteps.com

My Forward Steps is my new space brimming with daily tips, success lessons, inspiration, prompts for self development, power for life, tools, ideas for business & web wisdom.
You know, if you aren’t learning then you could be standing still…

My Forward Steps has tools & inspirations to keep you stepping forward

Once stretched by any new idea, your mind never regains its original dimensions. Every forward step enhances the value of your first and if you’re facing in the right direction, all you need to do is to keep walking

Each week, My Forward Steps Members enjoy wealth for momentum, so hop over there and take a peek.

The other place to which I direct visitors is my book's site at www.timeformylife.com. Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones contains 2,843 life power and personal energy boosters at your fingertips, every day for a full year.

I created this book for myself, and NOW I share it with you... 424 power pages - to use daily before the gremlins take hold!

Meantime, you can look over the resources at this blog that I had posted in the past. I won't be updating any dead links, so I'll apologize in advance if you find any posts here that are no longer relevant. Though I'm certain you'll still find many goodies you can still use well.

Cheers, Thea

P.S. Meantime, leave your details in the email form, top-right. You'll love the free bonuses that I send to you in your first few emails.

Contemplating the climb? Challenges are part of success.

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Wed, 04 May 2011 00:28:29 PDT

It is a challenge to succeed. If it were not, I'm sure more people would be successful, but for every person who makes it to the top, many more are sitting back contemplating the climb! While most people spend most of their lives struggling to just get by, a much smaller group of folks seem to have everything going their way. All the while, the much larger group sits in awe at how life can be so unfair, complicated and unjust.

Yes, it is a challenge to succeed; you've got to become a good planner, and a good dreamer. You've got to see the future finished in advance. You've got to put in the long hours and put up with the setbacks and the disappointments. You've got to learn to enjoy the process, because challenges are part of success.

That is what this short movie is all about... the challenges we all have to overcome to succeed!

The realist adjusts their sails

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 02:17:58 PDT

“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” ...William Arthur Ward

What can you do today to improve your time efficiency?

In the economizing of time, too, there will be many things which a man will have to eliminate from his life; some of things and pursuits which he loves, and desires to retain, will have to be sacrifice to the main purpose of his life. The studied elimination of non-essentials from one’s daily life is a vital factor in all great achievement. All great men are adepts in this branch of economy, and it plays an important part in the making of their greatness. It is a form of economy which also enters into the mind, the actions, and the speech, eliminating from them all that is superfluous, and that impedes, and does not sub-serve, the end aimed at. Foolish and unsuccessful people talk carelessly and aimlessly, act carelessly and aimlessly, and allow everything that comes along good, bad, and different to lodge in their mind.

Effect of Thought on Health and the Body

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 20:38:47 PDT

The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed. At the bidding of unlawful thoughts the body sinks rapidly into disease and decay; at the command of glad and beautiful thoughts it becomes clothed with youthfulness and beauty.

Disease and health, like circumstances, are rooted in thought. Sickly thoughts will express themselves through a sickly body. Thoughts of fear have been known to kill a man as speedily as a bullet, and they are continually killing thousands of people just as surely though less rapidly. The people who live in fear of disease are the people who get it. Anxiety quickly demoralizes the whole body, and lays it open to the entrance of disease; while impure thoughts, even if not physically indulged, will soon shatter the nervous system.

Strong, pure, and happy thoughts build up the body in vigor and grace. The body is a delicate and plastic instrument, which responds readily to the thoughts by which it is impressed, and habits of thought will produce their own effects, good or bad, upon it.

Men will continue to have impure and poisoned blood so long as they propagate unclean thoughts. Out of a clean heart comes a clean life and a clean body. Out of a defiled mind proceeds a defiled life and corrupt body. Thought is the fountain of action, life and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.

Change of diet will not help a man who will not change his thoughts. When a man makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food.

If you would perfect your body, guard your mind. If you would renew your body, beautify your mind. Thoughts of malice, envy, disappointment, despondency, rob the body of its health and grace. A sour face does not come by chance; it is made by sour thoughts. Wrinkles that mar are drawn by folly, passion, pride.

I know a woman of ninety-six who has the bright, innocent face of a girl. I know a man well under middle age whose face is drawn into inharmonious contours. The one is the result of a sweet and sunny disposition; the other is the outcome of passion and discontent.

As you cannot have a sweet and wholesome abode unless you admit the air and sunshine freely into your rooms, so a strong body and a bright, happy, or serene countenance can only result from the free admittance into the mind of thoughts of joy and good will and serenity.

On the faces of the aged there are wrinkles made by sympathy, others by strong and pure thought, others are carved by passion. Who cannot distinguish them? With those who have lived righteously, age is calm, peaceful, and softly mellowed, like the setting sun. I have recently seen a philosopher on his deathbed. He was not old except in years. He died as sweetly and peacefully as he had lived.

There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with good will for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow. To live continually in thoughts of ill will, cynicism, suspicion, and envy, is to be confined in a self-made prison hole. But to think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all - such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven; and to dwell day to day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor.

Be Hatched Or Go Bad!

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:28:13 PDT

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad...C. S. Lewis

What can you do today to improve your life forever?

The conscious mind is almost a dim-witted cousin of the subconscious mind. You might have the strongest desire to attain something, but as long as your subconscious holds a particular belief that is not aligned with that desire, nothing will ever happen to manifest the desire. This is the single most important fact you have to understand. You set your goals with your conscious mind and you reach them with your subconscious mind.

What is your ultimate calling?

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:42:44 PDT

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn’t have done it. Who was it who said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work - not somebody else’s work. The work that is really a man’s own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man’s work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great...Mark Twain

Is your work like play to you, or a burden each day?

Studying and modeling the most successful leaders and teachers in the world can allow for dramatic improvement in your quality of life. Listen to this free interview with Dr. Wayne Dyer, titled What is Your Ultimate Calling?

A Day Of Your Life

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Thu, 14 May 2009 01:37:59 PDT

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something...almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose...Steve Jobs

If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you are about to do today?

The Triumph Of High Achievement

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:52:02 PDT

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly... Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat... Ted Roosevelt

Will you die wondering if you could have done more, or been more?

I really enjoy sharing with you inspiring or motivational videos and audios that I come across during my time exploring on the internet, while looking for great resources to include in Triggers. At this next link, I have readily and easily made available the web videos and online audios that I personally have enjoyed, and would like more people to see. It is a handy page for me to direct visitors and friends when they ask me about good movies, videos or audios that I would recommend.

Happy faces heal. So, will you dare to be different?

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:43:26 PDT

The way you talk about yourself and your life — your story — has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life. If you think of yourself as a Victim, you filter all that happens to you through the lens of DDT, and you find plenty of evidence to support that viewpoint. That’s why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction...David Emerald

How could you be more super conscious of your self-talk and personal beliefs?

Here's a little something to help shift the mind-set on a moment-by-moment basis. My friend Elan Sun Star has just finished his wonderful new book Smile! Every time you smile, you’re indeed planting a seed in the soil of the human heart.

Thriving Together

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 05:58:57 PDT

The Work is merely four questions; it’s not even a thing. It has no motive, no strings. It’s nothing without your answers. These four questions will join any program you’ve got ad enhance it. Any religion you have—they’ll enhance it. If you have no religion, they will bring you joy. And they’ll burn up anything that isn’t true for you. They’ll burn through to the reality that has always been waiting...Byron Katie

Who would you be without your story?

"Thriving Together: A Magic Way to Attract the Life of Our Dreams" was written by Patricia to let the world know something she discovered, that will, for sure, change our lives in the most positive way. I congratulate Patricia on the amazing forward steps she has taken for herself, and now shares with you.

New Ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Thea) — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:13:03 PDT

I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught...Georgia O'Keeffe

What could you do to replace a few old ideas and to encourage your imagination?

This is really an incredible example of how one simple shift in thinking can change everything, and at video number 102 at this list of inspiring videos, there is a wonderful story about cultivating how you think, and what ‘grows’ from there. It's possible I have shown you these already, however the interview is worth a look if you have not yet been introduced to it.
