" "The Power of Affirmation" by Remez Sasson, positive affirmations are positive sentences or phrases repeated many times in order to condition the mind, especially the subconscious mind, and trigger it into action. These sentences describe a situation that we want to happen and they are repeated many times with attention, feeling, and faith. -" http://ezinearticles.com/?Daily-Affirmation&id=817079
This might be a far stretch - but in keeping true to form in regards to the mind taking lessons from more and more "normal" situations, I will relate what I discovered for myself yesterday.
It was a beautiful day. Early in the morning, remember that. I was outside and the sun was shining. Just like every beautiful day, one would expect the birds to be chirping away - and they were. I was intrigued by one particular bird's call. It was very mellow and had a tone that sounded as if it were played through a woodwind. While listening I began to count the different sets of chirps, and it was very mathematical. The bird would chirp the same notes 5 times in a row, and then a completely different set 5 times repeating this until there were 10 sets of different bird calls all repeated 5 times each, one after another...
and then... a short pause....
and the FINALE... a 5 time repetition of another set of chirps the 11th... and then all was quiet.
This reminded me of daily affirmations - something I am beginning to explore and which has shown to be a very valuable way to start each day. It was almost a reminder of saying the things you want... pausing and then saying "I WILL HAVE IT ALL!" as a final affirmation and then being at peace to let the universe bring it to you.
Let nature be a teacher.

June 4 - ...Perhaps It Is Your Opportunity
JUNE IS OPPORTUNITY MONTH
"IF IT ISN'T YOUR JOB DO TO IT, PERHAPS IT IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
Someone once observed that the reason we often fail to recognize opportunities is because they come disguised as problems. When a customer, a colleague, or your boss has a problem, it may create a valuable opportunity for you. It isn't important to the person with the problem how your company is organized or whose responsibility is it to solve the problem; he or she only wants the situation resolved.
The next time a customer, a colleague, or your boss asks for your assistance in something that falls outside your area of responsibility, instead of referring them to someone else, offer to help. Look at the situation from the other person's point of view. How would you like the situation handled if the roles were reversed? Take the initiative to find the answer, solve the problem, or keep the project moving forward." - Napoleon Hill's Action Plan

JOE's THOUGHTS
Creating value by giving more than we expect in payment is one of the 5 laws of stratospheric success in the book "The Go-Giver". First by being able to see the opportunity and then by taking it. By taking the opportunity to go the extra mile, to step up and take responsibility and to resolve a situation without it being assigned as your duty creates a great amount of value for you.
Thomas Edison said it well, ""Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work." Change the way you look at things. Instead of focusing on how hard it might be, focus on the reward of accomplishing it.
This can apply in work, school at home and in every relationship.
