With Each Day May I positively impact the life of another, and smile more than frown; Put service and compassion before my own renown; Meet adversity with courage, sorrow with hope; Have Faith to face uncertainty, and resiliency to cope; With joy as my companion, and truth as my guide; May I walk the path of excellence, gaining knowledge with each stride; To see the good that lies within each person in suppression; And through love and understanding, bring it forth into expression; Though this day may bring new challenges, yet not manifest; May I ever be reminded how much my life is blessed. Robert Akers
A BREAK THROUGH
I have now come to the
realization that, for the most part, I
can choose to be happy on a daily basis.
There is a measure of truth
in the old saying, "Fake it till
you make it." Granted,
it doesn't work all the time.
However, if "fake it" means
choosing to think and act
in a variety of "happy ways"
before I actually have
those feelings, then I
would have to say I agree.
Take a simple smile, for instance.
I've found that something
as simple as smiling can do wonders
to help me see that I have in
me the ability to choose to be happy.
Smile, and the world will smile back at you
The place where life happens is the place where you are. The place where you build success and achievement is the place where you are. You cannot change the places where you came from, and you've not yet arrived at the places you'll be. The place where you are is the only place where you can think and act and make life happen in the way you intend. If you spend your time wishing you were someplace else, then you lose the opportunity to get there. Instead, see the power and the possibilities of the place where you are, and tap into the real value of what you now have. If you fill the place where you are with worry, frustration, anxiety or anger, you put needless limitations on what you can do. Instead, fill this moment, this set of circumstances with joy, love, gratitude and enthusiasm for the positive possibilities. Give the best that you can to the place where you are. For your world is determined not by what you hope to do on some distant someday, but by how you live right here and now. This is the place where you are. Live it for all that it is. Ralph Marston |
