LEARNING TO GIVE
This is one of the most simplistic principles that we can practice in our daily lives.
We want to be joyful and we can be joyful, all we have to do is give joy to others.
Of course we want to be loved, but we must learn to always give our love to others first.
When we desire attention, we simply have to teach ourselves to be attentive to others.
Everyone wants to be appreciated, but yet we need to take a look at how we appreciate others.
How do we eliminate feeling isolated and lonely? We pick ourselves up, go out there, get with
our friends and relatives, and make it all about them.
 Soon you will see within these principles,
that life will start to come back to you in full circle,
as you take on your new principles of learning to give.

SUCH A LOT OF GOODNESS

Wouldn’t things here be more pleasant, if the good that’s in us all,
Were the only thing about us, that folks bothered to recall?
Wouldn’t life be lots more happy, if we’d praise the good we see.
For there’s SUCH A LOT OF GOODNESS, in the worst of you and me.
Wouldn’t we see a clear bright path in which to take a new journey,
If we could shed negativities strife, impacted in our learning.
Just to launch out into a big day full of great achievements,
Without our mind getting side tracked into bewilderment.
Shouldn’t life be “the best is yet to come” every day?
Life “IS” the best every day, if we strive to make it one.
So raise up your life, strive to make everyday the best that it can be,
For there’s SUCH A LOT OF GOODNESS,  in the worst of you and me.

ORDINARY MIRACLES
Today…I wish you a day of ordinary miracles…fresh pot of coffee you didn’t have to make yourself.
An unexpected phone call from an old friend…Green stoplights on your way to work or shop.
I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in…The fastest line at the grocery store.
A good sing along song on the radio…Your keys right where you look!!…
Your favorite book in a book store, when you take your first glance!!…
The best sunset though the clouds in your favorite park after a hot day!
Yes Today…I wish for you that ORDINARY MIRACLES will bless you along your way!!

IN TIME
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day in time, you may look back and realize
that life’s “little things” were all of the BIG things that you’ve missed.
In time, the only thing in life achieved without effort is failure.
In time life can be like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are
getting somewhere or just standing still.
No One is going to put a price on the time in Your life except You!
We make a living by what we get, in time we find that we make a life by what WE GIVE.
In time like a grindstone, so life can be. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up
depends on US.
Happiness is not a destination in which you arrive, in time we find it is your journey there,
so relax, laugh and enjoy the ride!!

IF YOU DON’T

If you don’t run your own life, somebody else just might.
Get busy living, there are too many other people who are busy slowly dying.
If you don’t stop questioning, you may never start resolving.
Don’t look down on anyone, unless you’re helping them up.
Don’t find the failure path that everyone else does, success may lie in making Your own path.
Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong.
Don’t be a pessimist who sees the difficulty in every opportunity, be an optimist that sees the
opportunity in every difficulty.
Don’t be lonely in life building walls, build bridges instead…and connect with others.

BEING THANKFUL

17. I have “opportunities in disguise” that I have to uncover—
while some people call them—PROBLEMS!!
18. I woke up this morning BREATHING with My loved ones all around me.
What huge piece of life did you miss out on today??
19. One of the hardest things to do is “change everything that we don’t like” about ourselves.
20. You can carry the message to the person, but you can’t carry the person.
21. Simple life math – SELF WILL = SELF KILL
22. You can travel the WORLD and tell all about it – if your soul is empty,
you really haven’t gone anywhere!!
23. If You are not going forward – You are falling backward.
24. The ultimate tools for life are not at the Snap On dealer.
The biggest forever toolbox with all of life’s tools have been
place at your feet by God. Get with him, and you will discover them.
25. Life is SIMPLE – We just like complicating the heck out of it – in hyper drive!!
26. If it ain’t fixed yet—maybe it needs to stay broken??!!

Wake each morning with the awe of just being alive.
Discover in each day the magnificent small miracles,
Displaying awesome beauty of the world.

Explore and embrace life within yourself,
in awareness of everyone you see each day.

Reach within your spirit to find your own special being.
Amaze yourself and arouse those around you,
To the potential of each new day.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect;
For this is the essence of your humility and humanity.

Let those who love you help you.
Take down the WALL to trust enough to take what others offer.

Look with hope to the horizon in each new day,
For today is all we really have.

Live this day like it were your last.
Let a little sun shine out as well as the sun shinning in.
Create your own rainbows, even if it is for yourself.

Be open to all possibilities.

Believe in always, and in always…. believe in Miracles!
