Happy 2008 member Special Edition from the Founder of RenewedReflections, Craig Thompson Craig & Leslie Thompson Each New Year brings change... New commitments to your health. Renewed dedication to the people you love. New focus on how you spend your time. These changes can sometimes feel stressful, if not overwhelming. But each New Year also brings opportunities, tremendous opportunities that make now the most exciting time to be alive. As you work to accomplish more in less time, don't lose sight of why you're here. You are in this world for a reason - a magnificent one. Remember, you set the rules for yourself. You are limited by nothing It's time to create a masterpiece. It's time to celebrate and give more of yourself. Here are 12 simple steps for the New Year. They may serve only as food for thought. Or one of them might just change your life forever. 1. Live a life of service "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service to others." -Mahatma Ghandi 2. Do unto other as you would have others do unto you "We need lots of love to forgive, but we need much more humility to ask for forgiveness." - Mother Theresa 3. Be kind "Life is short, but there is always time enough for courtesy." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 4. Be remarkable "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." - Les Brown 5. Seek unity "Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency."  - Mahatma Ghandi 6. Strive for wisdom "Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life." - Immanuel Kant 7. Be Grateful "When you are grateful, fears disappear and abundance appears." -Anthony Robbins 8. Think critically "The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking." -Albert Einstein 9. Be brave "You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt 10. Be humble "Do you wish people to think well of you?  Don't speak well of yourself." - Blaise Pascal 11. Be creative "A creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others." -Ayn Rand 12. Be present "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." -Anne Frank   Much love and may God's blessings pour into you and from you this year... from Craig and Leslie Thompson, Sanae and Michael
