Today’s Quote

Your Life Purpose
~Peter L. Hirsch

Your life purpose is the cornerstone of your motivation.

Your life purpose is the keystone of your work ethic.

Your life purpose calls forth your passion.

Your life purpose is the standard by which you judge your progress and whether or not you’re on or off-track.

Your life purpose is the Big Dream, in which your other goals and aspirations play supporting parts.

Your life purpose is the reason for your success.

Or to put is simply: YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IS WHAT GETS YOU OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING.

Today’s Tip

What does get you out of bed in the morning?

With the support of my coach seven years ago, I was able to clarify my life purpose… “To be a joyous and glowing reflection of my soul while serving others to make a difference.”

One of the most rewarding things about being a Business/Personal Coach is to witness the “aha’s” and the feelings of joy my clients experience when discovering their life purpose. You know, that feeling of peace within or what really makes your heart sing.

Knowing your purpose allows you to be your authentic self.

If you are ready to gain more clarity or discover your true purpose in life, e-mail me @ jw@joanwinberg.com

Have a great week,
Joanie and Angie

Today’s Quote

Perspectives
~Unknown Author

“One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to spend a few days on a farm of a very poor family with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.

When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, ‘How was the trip? What did you learn?’

The son answered, ‘I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have the whole horizon.’

When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added, ‘Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!’

Isn’t it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you’ve got everything.

You can’t buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing.”

Today’s Tip

This week be aware if you are only focusing on your material possessions or are you grateful for the things that really matter such as your health, your family or even something as simple as the joy of a new day.

Are you rich or poor in spirit?

Have a great week!
Joanie and Angie

Today’s Quote

10 Ways on HOW TO STAY YOUNG
~ George Carlin

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them.’

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be A LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets, music, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER…
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

.
Have a great week!
Joanie and Angie

Don’t have time to read today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast?
Tune in and listen to today’s quote and tips from the Happy Wednesday Ladies!

Today’s quote and tips are from Alan Cohen.

“The only true measure of success is happiness!
We have been taught that the most successful person is the one with the most money, sex appeal, prestige, power, skill, strength, or speed. But the most successful person is the one having the most fun.

While your goals are important, none are worth sacrificing your happiness. And what is happiness, but appreciating what you have now? People obsessed with goal achievement evaluate life by how things turn out. People committed to happiness evaluate life by the quality of their experience.

If you look back with remorse and devalue experiences because they did not last forever or bring you to where you wanted to end up, you miss the gift of the experience. Savor the experiences as precious gifts that will forever warm your soul.

When you remember… you are not here just to win, but to play, you end up winning all the time rather than just at the end of the game.”

Today’s Inspirational Quote

 To Be Happy is Your Goal
~ Pauline Oliver

A friendly smile, a kindly wave
A cheery disposition
To cultivate happiness every day
Shall be your new found mission.

Hold only thoughts that serve you well
And banish all the rest.
They have no place inside your head
This will surely prove a test.

Fight bravely on and steel yourself
For your goal is crystal clear.
One day you’ll steadfastly affirm
Only happiness lives here.

Tonight’s Show

February 25, 2009

Guest: Patty Hansen
Topic: Author of the new Chicken Soup for the Soul book- “Divorce and Recovery”-
101 Stories about Surviving and Thriving after Divorce

Lisa’s husband, Jimmy, bought their café 15 years ago, when it was known as the Q Restaurant. Two years ago, business was slow, so his wife — a life coach — brought her skills onboard. Thus was born the Q Kindness Café, and business has improved.

Kindness multiplied in such great amounts at the Q Kindness Cafe that St. Paul’s mayor proclaimed the first week of every month Kindness Week. Suddenly, Lisa’s one-woman quest to ramp up random acts of kindness became more than she ever imagined.

Thank you for sharing Lisa!

Imagine kindness everywhere…people giving to give and not to get…

Imagine the life lessons we’d learn
when the gifts we gave keep on giving
in ways beyond our imagination…

Imagine the stimulation in our own lives
and the lives of others as we focus
in all that we have to give…

Imagine the reality we can create by
living in the giving and not the get…

What if each one of us invites another to give…
What if we teach the world to give…in small, thoughtful ways…

What if the giving became the stimulus
that helps us spiral up and out of any mess we’re in…

Instead of going around in a vicious circle, what if we changed one simple thing?

Give a little more. Spread kindness. Offer hope. Give of our self.

Imagine that!
One good deed deserves another and on and on…

Imagine how this could
stimulate our economy;
stimulate the world;
stimulate your world.

Create a stimulus package of your own!
Today!
Now!
And feel good knowing that you make a difference every day.

“A Lesson in Love”
By Michael Jordan Segal, MSW

Audio- “A Lesson in Love”

“I never liked rings. I do not wear a high school ring; I do not wear a college ring; and I did not want to wear a wedding ring. This was not because I did not want people to know that I was married, but because I just did not feel comfortable with a ring on my finger.

After graduating from college I finally was about to “pop the question” to my high school sweetheart, Sharon Gail Weingarton, who continually was at my side when I was almost fatally injured during a robbery.

Sharon was the best — pretty, kind, sweet, and good-hearted. However, what would she say when I proposed and said that I did not want to wear a wedding ring? I practiced what I was going to say to her. I thought long and hard. I finally decided that there was no answer to my dilemma. I would simply tell her, and then wait five minutes listening to her explode.

So that night I proposed, and afterwards I told Sharon that I was not going to wear a ring. I simply said: “I just don’t like rings. I don’t wear a high school ring…” I expected Sharon to become enraged: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE NOT GOING TO WEAR A WEDDING RING?”

However, instead, I merely heard silence. After what in my mind seemed like an eternity, Sharon calmly remarked: “Fine. If you don’t want to wear a wedding ring, I won’t change my name. I will not call myself Sharon Segal.”

On our Fifteenth Anniversary, I remembered my first lesson of marriage that was taught to me by my wife Sharon Gail Segal as I looked down upon the ring on my ring finger — COMPROMISE.”
