Giving Thanks….You are What You Believe
It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to.” W.C. Fields
I’d like to express my gratitude to all my family and friends and share some thoughts I hope to be inspiring during this upcoming holiday season……
Believe?that most “breaks” and “luck” in life happen at the intersection?between preparation and opportunity…
Believe?in the good of people (belief in God is optional)…
Believe?that we all need things in life that we don’t want and want things in life we don’t need…
Believe?that things wind up being the very best for those who make the very best of how things wind up…
Believe?that few things in life are as bad as we anticipate they will be nor quite as good as we count on them to be…
Believe?that we should always strive to feel good, rather than, to just have good feelings…
Believe?that if at first you don’t succeed—you are pretty much about average…
Believe?that some people dream of success and others work hard to make it happen…
Believe?that the two most difficult things in life to handle are failure and success…
Believe?that all families are a little?bit like brownies—mostly sweet with a few nuts part of the mix…
Believe?that when life tests us it’s always best to turn to family and friends…
Believe?and cherish the moment you are in, as yesterday has died and tomorrow has not yet arrived…
Believe?that forgiveness is the fertilizer to enhancing personal relations and intimacy…
Believe?that giving gratitude for what you have is the true secret of happiness…
Believe?that the best vitamin to take to become a compassionate person is B1…
Believe?that jumping for joy is really a good form of exercise …
Believe?that you can’t get what you want from others in life if you don’t risk to at least ask for it…
Believe?that the simplest act of kindness can make a big difference to others…
Believe?that “richness” is measured not by how much money we have but how much others love us…
Believe?that life fulfillment comes from doing what you have the greatest passion for and what you most believe in …
Believe?that the three words, “I am sorry” can almost always mend and improve relationships with others…
Believe?that the only real power people have over us is what we give them…
Believe?that the right path is always to follow your own?heart…
Believe?in yourself and others will always believe in you…
You?are?what you believe…Be well….
