Shaun’s Top 10 Thoughts

1. I thank God each morning for allowing me to see another day.

2. When I wake up each morning, I am entering a new day, a new life and a new chance to start over, to make it right this time. Each day is a like a rebirth and any mistake I made on yesterday has been forgiven and I am free to start anew, seize new opportunities and finally decide that today is the day to make a change in my life.

3. When I feel like dancing, I dance. When I feel like singing, I sing. When I feel like moving, I move. Whether it’s a stroll around the block, a walk through the park or a full workout at the gym, I remember to just do something.

4. I surrender all of my problems to God because He is over my life and promises to guide me.

5. I have friends and family who love me unconditionally. Unconditional love is that kind of love that is followed by “no matter what” – meaning no matter what happens, what circumstances, what life occurrences, what accidents, they are with me.

6. My journey is up to me. My decisions, my actions, my mindset, my opportunities are all up to me and only me. I cannot blame anybody for my circumstances but myself.

7. Friends should add value to my life. If they don’t, I cut them off completely. I have no time for mediocrity.

8. I am human and always entitled to change my mind – period.

9. I must never stop dreaming and imagining. When we were kids, we drove imaginary cars and made car noises with our mouths, and we made our stuffed animals talk and walk and move – even sat them in a row like students and we were the teachers. As I am older, I must continue to have fun and imagine. Imagine this world with no more imagination.

10. I stand at the center of my life. It is at the center of our lives where we are most balanced and we know for sure who we are. When I feel myself getting off center, I stop and ask myself, what role do I play in my own life? How do I fit into my own existence? If we don’t know who we are and are not centered, we live for the wrong reasons, the wrong things and the wrong people. And we accept how people treat us; how people want us to live our lives and we follow pursuit, trying to please everyone but ourselves. Always live your life at the center and stand strong in your own conviction.
