Sometimes all you need to know is that there WILL be better days.

“I need some place simple where we could live,
And something only you can give,
And that’s faith and trust and peace while we’re alive.
And the one poor child who saved this world,
And there’s ten million more who probably could,
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them.

So take these words and sing out loud,
‘Cause everyone is forgiven now,
‘Cause tonight’s the night the world begins again.

I wish everyone was loved tonight,
And somehow stop this endless fight.
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days.”

- Goo Goo Dolls, Better Days

Where am I? Here. What time is it? Now.

Staying in the present can be powerful, and this can help…

“I was alive and I waited, waited,
I was alive and I waited for this.
Right here, right now,
There is no other place I want to be,
Right here, right now,
Watching the world wake up from history.”

- Jesus Jones, Right Here, Right Now

What would you do differently… If Today Was Your Last Day?

Certainly worthy of pondering every now and then:

“Against the grain should be a way of life,
What’s worth the price is always worth the fight.
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try,
So live like you’re never living twice.
Don’t take the free ride in your own life.

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late,
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?”

If you need motivation to wrap up the end of the week, have a listen to these lyrics… and sing it at the top of your lungs with the video below:

“Standin’ on broken dreams, never losin’ sight, ah…
Well, just spread your wings.

We’ll get higher and higher, straight up we’ll climb.
We’ll get higher and higher, leave it all behind.

So baby, dry your eyes, Save all the tears you’ve cried,
Oh, that’s what dreams are made of.
‘Cause we belong in a world that must be strong,
Oh, that’s what dreams are made of.”

- Van Halen, Dreams

I just posted a video on the LWL blog that inspired me on multiple levels, and I’m sure it will do the same for you.

Read my article and watch the video here: Playing for Change in Japan.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, a day typically associated with “luck”.

Of course, luck is more of a mindset than anything. If you feel lucky, you are lucky.

Some say LUCK stands for “Laboring Under Correct Knowledge.” Some say it’s based on the energy vibration you hold.

But what’s the significance of the “lucky” four-leaf clover? It’s rare to find one in nature, which makes it lucky in its uniqueness.

But the four leaves are said to represent four desirable qualities:

1. Hope

2. Faith

3. Love

4. Happiness

Conversely, we could say they represent the four parts of us: Body, Spirit, Mind and Emotions (thanks to Bob Hoffman for mapping out this Quadrinity).

Either way, it’s a symbol that can provoke thoughtfulness, wholeness, betterment and joyful contemplation.

And it’s entirely found within yourself. That, to me, is lucky in itself.

It’s easy to complain about life instead of choosing to make it better.

But no matter how bad things can seem for you — bad times, bad economy, bad weather, bad kids or whatever — I’ll bet it’s amazing compared to what others are going through.

It’s all in the perspective.

For example, a devastating earthquake has just rocked the northeast coast of Japan, with a magnitude of 8.9. That’s the fifth strongest quake in the world since 1900, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Earthquake Information Center.

You can see some photos of the destruction here.

With hundreds dead, buildings collapsed, cars smashed and boats swept off by tsunami waves, chances are the people of Japan are going through harder times than you right now… and as our Wealth Vault members heard this morning, I and the entire LWL team send our sincere condolences and genuine thoughts of strength.

As for you…

Happiness is a choice, and that fact is highlighted in a somewhat silly but powerful way in Bobby McFerrin’s old hit, Don’t Worry, Be Happy.

Bobby turns 61 today, and to celebrate his birthday, I encourage you to watch the video, and think about how you can apply the message to your life:

A few days ago, I posted an article on the LWL Worldwide blog about overcoming fears using hypnosis recordings from Hypnosis Downloads.

That article focused on fears because we all have them, and they hold us back greatly in life. You can read my entire article on the LWL Worldwide blog here, which includes links to some common (and uncommon) fears that may plague you.

But there are also audios available for personal growth, reaching your goals, boosting creativity, overcoming procrastination and perfectionism, remembering names, and almost any other habit-busting or habit-forming need you can think of.

Then of course there are health-related downloads like reducing stress, curing insomnia, eating more vegetables, drinking more water, controlling food cravings for diabetics, easing eczema, and more.

And if you’re going through financial hardship these days (who isn’t, right?) you might find some help from extended programs like the Millionaire Mind pack or the Money Maximizer bundle.

In fact, with over 700 audios available, there’s a very, very slim chance that you can’t find one to help you out.

Self hypnosis might sound too good to be true, especially at these prices. But the truth is, the audios are very professionally made and highly effective — as long as you can open your mind to the possibilities, and allow yourself to go into trance state (like daydreaming, but as you listen to a soothing voice giving you suggestions).

It’s not a magic pill, though… you can’t just listen once and be done with it. You’ll be advised to listen to the same audio for a series of days, in order to really allow it to take affect and help you make permanent changes.

But the experience is relaxing and revitalizing, while working on whatever you want to overcome, so you can benefit on multiple levels.

I love a good bubble bath (what girl doesn’t?), and I’m planning on having a nice long one tonight.

I do it weekly if possible, and it’s great for relaxing and resetting. It’s also a perfect excuse to catch up on disposable reading material (I mean magazines) that don’t take too much brain power, but enhance the enjoyment of bath time.

If you’d like to make your next soak in the tub extra special, try this homemade bubble bath recipe I found in one of those very magazines:

4 cups distilled water

4 oz. liquid lavender castile soap

4 oz. vegetable glycerin

10 drops essential oil

Mix the water and soap, then add the glycerin and essential oil. Pour it in a bottle, and add up to 1 cup to your bath water.

Don’t forget to add the Epsom salts, which draw toxins from your body.

Happy birthday to Theodor Seuss Geisel, who brought us 44 imaginative and inspirational children’s stories in his 87 years.

Some were written as Theo LeSieg, but of course the best-loved ones were penned under the name of Dr. Seuss.

Needless to say, thinking about his rhymes brings fond memories of childhood.

But many of them were valuable to adults as well.

For example, Barry brought my attention to this quote, appropriately from Seuss’s Happy Birthday to You! book, which reminds us all to embrace our uniqueness:

“Today you are true! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!”

And what about the graduation classic, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!…
