The Daily LIFT (Life’s Inspiration For Today) provides a daily motivational and/or inspirational thought, quote, or message delivered to your email inbox each day Monday – Friday.

It is a great way to begin each day on a positive and uplifting note.

Your subscription to The Daily LIFT is absolutely free of charge.

It is our hope that when you receive your Daily LIFT that you will have the ability to pass on your attitude of inspiration to others, even if that is only passing on a smile and a friendly hello. This is the lesson I learned from this thought provoking story:

I Wanted To Change The World

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.
