Good morning, my friends. I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! This morning I’d like to share five more #RayQuotes.
These are not as much of the motivational variety, as they are the pondering kind. I hope you’ll find them useful in peeling away a few more layers of this crazy onion we call life in the universe as we know it.
Just in case no one else has reminded you today, you are awesome!

Division is a decision not an inevitability. It occurs when people are conditioned day after day to focus on what separates us rather than what unshakably unites us.
If you focused only on what you disagreed on with your significant other, you’d have no relationship.
If you focused only on what you disagreed on with your boss, you’d have no job.
Is it any wonder that when we focus only on what we disagree on, we cannot have a country that works?
You may be tempted to point the finger at “them.” After all, that’s what our media and our so-called leaders do. They tell you to point and to blame and to focus on the separation.
We can do better than that and WE MUST.
We came here to aspire to something higher than the next argument or even the next election. We have forgotten who we truly are and as long as we remain in that state of forgetting, we’re easily manipulated. The moment we remember nothing will be able to stop the transformation.
Until that day comes for the world, we will have to discover that remembering one person at a time. When enough of us have changed what’s inside, the outside will follow.
Be who you came here to be. See your greatness and help those around you to see theirs too.

Good morning, my friends. I think it’s more than fair to say life isn’t always fair to us.
It’s easy to spends weeks, months, decades, your whole life recounting the ways life hasn’t given you a fair deal of the cards. You may even be 200 percent right. Life may not have offered you the same chances others had by default.
Here’s the thing. We have two choices. We can spend our lives focused on the hand we were dealt or we can focus our efforts on playing the hand we have with all we have. The shocking part is that as we do the latter, life eventually deals us a better hand.
We will always miss the rocket to greatness, if we’re hanging around the station waiting on the bus to fairness. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t be working for a fairer, more just society. It’s just an acknowledgement that you don’t have the time to wait for the world to move, when you can simply deal yourself a new hand.
In case no one else has reminded you today, YOU are AWESOME!

Something will decide you. Let it be love, compassion, and peace.
If you allow the anger and the vitriol to win, you eventually become filled with it.
If you allow “Us” vs. “Them” to triumph, we’ll wind up with an unhappy cinder of a world.
Be open to change. Be open to new ideas. It’s the way of our Universe. Nothing, nothing, stays the same forever. Stopping change is impossible. We can only hope to mold it into something more productive and that helps more people.
A really famous guy counseled to walk a mile in the other person’s shoes today. If you do, I promise, you’ll find a sympathetic figure wanting most of the same things you want. If one mile doesn’t get tou there, walk two. If you’re still angry at the person, you haven’t walked far enough.
The sky is a big place for a narrow mind and a closed heart. Let yours be opened from horizon to horizon. See with new eyes.
Yes, something will decide you. Let it be love, compassion, and peace.
Just in case no one else has reminded you today, you’re awesome!

We’re hearing a lot these days about the “New Normal.” We must not simply sit back and let others define that for us. We must be active participants in deciding what that new normal is and in taking responsibility for the thinking and paradigms that create it. This is a moment of opportunity. Let us seize it to move the world forward.
I captured my thoughts about this in a quick video today. I’d love to hear your thoughts and the hope and the challenges the “New Normal” presents.
