Everyday is the Best Day

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. ~ Chinese Fortune Cookie ~

This was in my oldest daughter's fortune cookie last night.   I am going to post this somewhere where she can see it everyday.  I told her that it's really up to her to have a good life.  Many times when she gets upset she gives it an external attribution!  She points at her sister, brother, friend or even me and says that we "did something" to make her upset.   I explained that it is true that others will disappoint us or hurt us.  However, we have the ability to let it tear us down.  Instead, take stock in your own goodness.  Decided that others will not control you.  Allow the hurt and then let it go.  Life will always have its hardships but life does not have to be hard.

Affirmation, say: I will make everyday the best day.

Positive Mind

A positive mind creates positive energy which makes magic happen.  It's ok to go to a negative state - it's called a "reality check" but, don't dwell  -- focus on what you can do to make things better.  There is always a way. 

Happy New Year

Take the time to reflect.  Many of us focus on what was wrong with 2009 - but what went right?  How will 2010 be better?  How will you be better?  Try at the very least to be optimistic!

Think Good Things

A man is literally what he thinks ~ James Allen

If you think you are a loser, then you are a loser and will treat others as losers.  When your thoughts are self-depricating and you will live what you believe.  You then create a muddy picture of the world.  Changing self thoughts is not easy but is neccessary for a better life.  Start simply with even the smallest idea such as, "I am good at breathing."
