Thoughts on values 

Success is based on time and life management. (Re-)focussing by meditation, affirmations, and prayer is an integral part of daily routine. Being present and aware, having meaningful talks, and acting creatively make me happy. Reflecting regularly gives me new insights, which I take as a basis for my next steps.

I am thinking of what completed and accomplished task would move me forward. I know that success is based on persistence until I succeed, so I never give up. I think about who and what I would love to spend my time. I am as happy as I can be, and I am authentic.

What would be my greatest goal in life? Once verbalized, I work on my goals every day.
I create powerful visions, set goals, make plans, put them into action by doing excellent work to make my partner/ customer/ boss happy quickly and in high quality. I, of course, also think of myself.

Reflection

Here is a reflection for a break during a busy day from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of The Little Prince, ...

Lord, I’m not praying for miracles and visions, I’m only asking for strength for my days. Teach me the art of small steps. Make me clever and resourceful, so that I can find important discoveries and experiences among the diversity of days. 

Help me use my time better. Present me with the sense to be able to judge whether something is important or not.
I pray for the power of discipline and moderation, not only to run throughout my life, but also to live my days reasonably, and observe unexpected pleasures and heights. 

Save me from the naive belief that everything in life has to go smoothly. Give me the sober recognition that difficulties, failures, fiascos, and setbacks are given to us by life itself to make us grow and mature. Send me the right person at the right moment, who will have enough courage and love to utter the truth!

I know that many problems solve themselves, so please teach me patience.
You know how much we need friendship. Make me worthy of this nicest, hardest, riskiest, and most fragile gift of life. Give me enough imagination to be able to share with someone a little bit of warmth, in the right place, at the right time, with words, or with silence.

Spare me the fear of missing out on life. Do not give me the things I desire, but the things I need. Teach me the art of small steps!
