You have an infinite capacity for Life
When Life is good, it's highly likely that you'd like more of the good stuff! We all may have different desires, missions and visions in Life but we all share a common intent and purpose:
to live Life to the full.
I call this "Life Plus" or "Life∞" - simply because I meet so few people who are enjoying Life to the full. So how can we get more out of life? How can we move into more of this "quality of Life" that people mention so often?
To get more 'out' of Life, put more 'in' to Life!
There are many factors that will amplify the quality of life. "There" is an anagram of "Three" so let's just focus on three today!
Gratitude
Attention
Stroking {Positive}
[Or G.A.S. for short! These three amplifiers will lift your quality of Life into another realm.]
You get more of what you pay attention to
This seems to be a Golden Rule of Mindset - the stuff you think about expands in your awareness, and often in your circumstances too. So a great place to begin is by paying attention or 'investing attention' in the practice of being grateful.
Firstly, then, what are you grateful for today?
This will prime your creative mindset to mine your experience for those gems of goodness. What's good and true and lovely and praise-worthy in your life? What's beautiful and funny and edifying?
Secondly, pay attention...
Some people are so poor they can't even pay attention! If you want inner peace, the lessons from history are clear: quality of life is about People first. And the currency of every good relationship is attention. In short, we need to quieten our inner dialogue and need to be heard, and turn up our ability to listen to others. Once again, there are gems to be found once you listen deeply to the message behind the surface noise.
Thirdly, Stroke people!
Really listening to someone is a wonderful gift to give, and a great investment in the future of your relationship. But you're not a microphone attached to a recording device... you are also a Broadcaster with a message to share, a Singer with a song to sing, a Poet with a love poem to speak into being.
What I mean is that true listening must produce tangible fruit. You must respond in some way. And this is where positive stroking will further amplify your quality of life. I am using 'stroking' here in the way it is meant by Transactional Analysts: a unit of attention. We won't go any deeper today but simply suggest you really turn up the volume when you say something good, and true, and lovely about the other person.
Amazing people will surround you today. Catch them doing something right, and tell them that you appreciate it.
If you can become more aware of what there is to be grateful for in your Life, and if you can really listen to others today, and if you can augment your listening with genuine compliments, your Life (and my Life) will be amplified towards its potential: "Life Plus" or "Life∞"
Have a wonder-filled day!

What is the Meaning of 'Life'?
It's a question that has puzzled people for millenia.
However, there is an easy answer: the meaning of Life is the meaning you ascribe to it.
With this as my guiding principle, I mapped out what would have to be present in my 'life' if I were to judge it as a life in its fulness.
I really recommend you have a go too - what would cause you to judge your life as awesome?

Observing a site- Audience space and behavior
This workshop is in two parts; the first will be an investigation of the site, The Mackintosh Building. During this part of the workshop we will explore ways of documenting and gathering information – photography, drawing, recording conversations, finding objects and materials, maps and plans.
Have you ever completed an assignment or task, only to find out that you didn’t do it correctly and needed to start all over again? Use this MindManager template & technique to tackle the critical thinking necessary before starting any task or solving problems.

All Your Life Is A Rehearsal For Today
It’s an interesting aphorism, isn’t it? What if all your life has been a rehearsal for this very day?
Isn’t this the truth?
All your experience, all your emotions, all your beliefs, all the meaning you’ve ascribed to all the events that have happened to you, everything you’ve said, everything you’ve thought, everything you’ve felt – all these things will influence the choices you make today.
And those choices will influence today’s ‘Show’.
So, if today is “Show Time!” and you’ve already showed up for it, what’s the Show going to be called? What’s it going to be about? What kind of genre: comedy, drama, musical, adventure, fantasy…?
And who is going to be in the Show?
Not only have you rehearsed your whole Life for today, you can also exercise creative control.
•You can influence who is in the cast; Who’s ‘in’ and who’s ‘out’?
•You can influence where the Show takes place;
•You can influence what happens when;
•You can influence the pace of what happens;
•You can influence what part you’ll play, what you’ll say, and who you’ll say it to;
•And you can influence the outcome – the ending – the finale – the result.
I say ‘influence’ because there are other players who have also been rehearsing for today. They’ll have their part to play too, and they’ll have their say, but let’s not forget who the Star is, shall we?
Time to Shine!
