Think about all that you could smile about. Put some effort in. Perhaps you have decent health without much effort. Maybe you have good relationships. It might even be that you have more money at the end of the month than expenses.
These are all great reasons to smile. Start smiling as you wake up and as you go through the day. Train the smile muscles, both in your mind and on your face. Your life will improve in line with your efforts in this area.
Clear out your stuff. Shift things around. Make room for the new and exciting. Say goodbye to the once loved and now outgrown.
Our kids have just changed rooms in our house. A swap that has been coming for awhile. Late last night it was decided it would happen this morning. So along with all the crazy of this time of year and what’s going on in our lives, this got added in.
They’re in the final stages and it’s almost complete. Both are animated and happy/excited about this new situation.
Something as simple as this can reinvigorate your life. And it can be done in a day (or two. We’ll see).
Try it. You may see the world differently after.
You are the star of your life. Start acting like it. You are also the screenwriter. So start writing in great parts, add a superb supporting cast, wonderful adventures and a few challenges for balance.
Start creating the life story you want to read about or watch on the big screen. Great books and movies can take years to imagine, write out, edit, publish, produce and get out to the world.
What a match!! Edge of the seat, nail-biting stuff. It’s never over till it’s over. It was arguably the best World Cup final match we’ll ever see.
Congratulations to Argentina. And very well done to France. An enthralling match between two of today’s best teams and players in the world.
Let it rest. Good ideas will flow tomorrow. For now, let it be.
Are you ready? Tree up, gifts bought, decorations throughout? Time to get moving if not. You’ve got seven days…..
There is always a last time. You rarely know when it is though. There is the last time you ever see someone, the last time you work at a company and the last time you visit somewhere special.
Consider everything you do like it’s the last time you will ever do it. Because one day it will be.
Strong memories can pull you in with great or horrific feelings associated with those moments.
I just pictured an incredibly strong memory of mine when I was about 12. I was playing “rocks” with my cousins at my grandparents place on the path just outside the pool house. Fun and carefree times. It’s like a photograph burned into my mind. Occasionally it’s a short movie.
Strong memories like that feel great and bring a smile to my face.
Hope is a powerful mindset. To be hopeful and optimistic can carry you a long way in life, sometimes much further than possible without it. Remember this well. Your optimism is your superpower. Guard it with your life.
You can help people improve without encouraging unhelpful thoughts and actions. Helping people is a kind thing to do. However, when you enable bad behaviour and choices, you are no longer their friend, but their enemy.
