All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point. — Robert Collier

Tip of the Day:
“The notion that one can do anything is liberating. But life without constraints has also proved a recipe for endless searching, endless questioning of aspirations. It has made this generation obsessed with self-development and determined, for as long as possible, to minimise personal commitments in order to maximise the options open to them… At what point, though, does the experience-seeking end?” Reflecting on professional development in an age of possibility, Thomas Barlow proposes a counterintuitive solution: “Perhaps living life to the fullest is as much about closing possibilities than creating them.” http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4464

Be The Change:
Find freedom in closing a few possibilities today.

Inspiration of the Day:
Philippe Croizon lived a rather normal life with his family until a severe electric shock accident led to the amputation of all four of his limbs. Undeterred by his handicap, Philippe decided to swim the English Channel and eventually went on to become the first quadruple amputee to achieve the feat. Watch how Philippe prepared himself for this remarkable challenge! http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4383

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you. — John E. Southard

Inspiration of the Day:
It all started three years ago. John Kralik’s life was really going down the tubes, personally and professionally, when one day, while walking, he heard an inner voice telling him to start writing thank you notes. So he sent a note of appreciation to his daughter’s piano teacher. And then to the woman who cuts his hair. And the barista at the coffee shop, just for trying to remember his name. By the end of that year, John had written 365 thank-you notes. He’s even written a book about how they have changed his fortune. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4462

Get a bicycle. You will not regret it. — Mark Twain

Good News of the Day:
Transport for London say the two new Superhighways have been a big success, with an average usage increase of 70%. The traffic on these Superhighways, which connect parts of London to the financial City, is bicycles. Mayor of London’s transport advisor, Kulveer Ranger, said: “This research shows that people do believe the routes are of value, make them feel safer, and are allowing them to take direct and continuous routes into central London.” Two more cycling routes will open this summer. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4428
