2014-2-17 Review

We all know the importance of a Weekly Review, right?!

I’m beginning a new feature to provide highlights of the past week at The Daily PlanIt, with tools and information to develop work and life skills. You can view the highlights on Flipboard, and read the summary below.

In the past week, we celebrated Valentine’s Day, a good time to reflect on choosing love, whether we are single, or in a relationship. Single people can appreciate family and friends, and those in a relationship can express gratitude for their special person as well. Everyone can “Practice love until you remember that you are love.” – Swami Sai Premananda.

At a time when I was single, I read a lot of books trying to understand love. Two were especially helpful to me. Find out what they were by reading this post from a Year of Personal Growth with the weekly activity:  Choose Love.

Some of the things I learned were:

Love begins with loving yourself. Only when we love ourselves are we able to give love. Know that you are loved and lovable, just because you are here.

An infinite supply of love is available: “Love is a treasure for which we never can pay, the only way we keep it is to give it away.”

Last week my husband and I went on a trip to visit a place we love, the beautiful island of St. Thomas, and spent some time doing something we both love: snorkeling in the ocean and swimming with the fish. What a blessing it was to escape the cold weather and enjoy the warm sunshine for awhile! And how thankful I am to have this wonderful man in my life!

This week I found an awesome quote from Kid President: “Create something that will make the world awesome.”

I believe so strongly that it is important to do what you love! I recently published at course at Udemy called “Gain Incredible Focus with a Personal Mission Statement” that will help discover the intersection between what you are good at, what you love, and what the world needs.

Turn ideas into assets for the fun and excitement of creating something that adds value.

That was one of the main points I got from a book I read last year that had a big impact on me: “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki:
