Daily Motivator for November 18 – When You Care

When you care

The way to be strong is to care. The way to be informed is to care, and to do  something about what you care about.

The way to be competent, effective, persuasive, inspiring and successful is  to care about what you’re doing. Life responds in a positive way when you take a  real, authentic interest and invest yourself in it.

It isn’t what you’re doing that determines whether you’re wasting your time.  It’s how much care you put into what you’re doing that matters.

When you make the task meaningful, it will be meaningful. When you truly  care, and act on what you care about, you’re able to create value in any  situation.

Do what you care about, and care about what you do. Be a real, live, genuine,  original person, and not just an automaton.

Give care to each moment, each task, each person, and each experience. Life’s  best possibilities are fulfilled when you truly care.

Daily Motivator for August 22 – Give your care

Give your care

If you don’t really care about what you’re doing, why are you wasting your  precious time doing it? If you’re going to spend your time on something, then  give your care, attention, interest, curiosity and enthusiasm to it.

Life can be so much more than merely a series of transactions. Give your life  depth and richness and passion by giving your sincere care to each moment and  every activity.

If you’re using your time to do it, then it’s important. Do it well, with  care and attention, then find ways to improve and do it even better.

Achievement comes from caring. A life of true fulfillment comes from truly  caring.

Find what you can care about, and put yourself into it with all you have.  Find what you can care about, and find delight in the opportunity and experience  of deeply caring.

Get completely involved in whatever you’re doing, and feel the immense joy of  making a real difference. Care deeply, and live fully.

— Ralph Marston

I believe it, Everybody wants to be the Cadbury Bunny, lol! Dog-gone Doggie!

Jack, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jack
 Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Lab, Beagle mix
Home: Milford, Michigan, USA
Jack, affectionately known as Jackie Loo, has been my best friend from the minute we met seven years ago. The little four month old puppy was at a pet store rescue adoption event where my mom stumbled upon him while buying guinea pig food. My mom brought the rest of the family out to meet him later that day and I immediately knew that he would be coming home with us. When he was about two years old I moved away to college. Despite only seeing each other for the occasional weekend and holiday, Jack remained my dog. He loved my parents but was always ecstatic to see me and heartbroken when I had to leave again.

Jack has recently come to live with me and I find it incredible how adaptable and happy he is. Together we compete in agility and he is the master of all tricks. Favorites include limping on command, blowing bubbles in water, getting beer from the fridge and riding a skateboard among countless others. He loves to be the center of attention and thinks the world revolves around him. Our future goals include becoming therapy dog certified so we can brighten the lives of people in nursing homes and hospitals.
