Each morning we are born again.
What we do today is what matters most.

________
BOULDER
This is the beginning of a new day.
You have been given this day to use as you will.
You can waste it or use it for good.
What you do today is important
because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever;
in its place is something that you have left behind...
.....let it be something good.

Today matters! I dare you to embrace every succulent moment of today and
remind yourself constantly that you have just one chance to make this day
worthwhile. Whether you choose to rest or reach, ponder or pursue, dream or
do, please make today matter for you and those who count on you.
Peace,
Paul

Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above
the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a
little bit more.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are
based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert
myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still
receiving.

This could be a magical week for you with unexpected and magnificent
possibilities. How do we make that happen? A LITTLE BIT MORE! Bring your
bestest, most creative, tireless, extraordinary self to school, work, and/or
life this week, and be prepared for remarkable things. Treat every
interaction, every task, every chore as though it holds a key to your future
and you will find that it does!
Peace,
Paul
p.s. A quick hello to my old and new buddies from Kohler Credit Union. It
was great fun to hang out with you on President's Day!

who believe tiny actions create big possibilities
_______
PEBBLE
Are you going to drink from the well of life-or just gargle and spit?

BOULDER
You don't have to take life the way it comes to you. You can design your
life to come to you the way you want it.
-Dan Zadra, submitted by Kristel, Bellingham WA
_______
PONDER
Life happens. Good stuff, blechy stuff, and everything in between.
Sometimes things fall into place so sweetly, and sometimes it feels like you
are sitting in front of a box from Ikea: a hundred parts to assemble with no
written instructions.
An optimal life isn't perfect, and it isn't always fun. It is, however,
ALWAYS worth it. I hope you can enjoy a thirst-quenching drink of life this
week and let it fill you up.
Peace,
Paul

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection.

Truly loving another means
letting go of all expectations.
It means full acceptance,
even celebration
of another's personhood.

_______
PONDER
As some prepare to celebrate romantic love on Valentine's Day, I invite all
of us to celebrate LOVE and its sweet variations: whether it is your
friends, your kin, your pets, your self, and/or your Higher Power, it is
worth taking a few minutes this week to savor the love in your life and
perhaps remind someone how important their LOVE is to you.
Many of you have enjoyed previous quote compilations, so I dug through our
archives and put together a list of LOVE-themed Ripples. You can receive
the list by sending a blank email to LOVE [at] TheRipplesGuy.com and you
will need to replace [at] with @ and eliminate the extra spaces.
