If you cannot open yourself to new ideas you will always be in the same place that you are in right now. Don't just believe the headlines, release limiting beliefs and read the article. Don't just listen to what others say - do the research and see for yourself! There isn't only one way in the world.
When you experience new concepts and new thoughts you grow as a human being.
Today say: I will talk with someone who thinks differently from me and I will learn something new.

When you exercise your body - you exercise your brain
Experts agree that exercise does a million good things for us. You will experience less sickness, less pain and have a more positive outlook. Successful happy people exercise!
Don't use pain or illness as an excuse. There is something that can get you moving. You've seen people on TV shows. They start to exercise and miraculously no longer have to have that surgery on their knees and/or can stop taking medication!
Say to yourself: I will start exercising for me and my health!

Life is short
I saw a quote yesterday. I'll paraphrase. It said that you can always find lost money but you cannot find lost time. This means time must be more valuable than money.
Spend your time wisely - self, family, friends. No one went to the grave thinking..."I wish I spent less time with people that I care about and more time on things that were not the most important."
Say to yourself: I will spend my time with the right things and people.

Speak the truth with love
When we are passive aggressive, oblique or say words to hurt - it only makes a bad situation worse. You must speak or your feelings will fester. Do speak and do it with honor and integrity. It's ok to tell someone, you hurt my feelings. Tell them from love and kindness - as a way for them to learn more about you. Take your time. If you react then venom will come from you but, if you wait you might find one of two things. That is wasn't worth getting into or that you are angry about something completely different. Productive conversations can then take place.
Say to yourself: I will share my feeling with love, honor and integrity.

Just for laughs - Zen Teachings
ZEN Teachings
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just leave me alone.
2. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
3. No one is listening until you fart.
4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.
7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
10. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.
11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
12. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the wind shield.
13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
14. Good judgment comes from bad experience and most of that comes from bad judgment.
15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
16. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our ass . then things just get worse.
20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night......
Happy Thursday. :-)

Don't mourn lost friendships
"If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it." - From Zen Teachings Joke Email that my sister sent me.
People come in and out of our lives for reasons. When people are our friends they are there for a reason. If they leave it was for a reason, too. AND not because of something you did or didn't do - it just happens. If you are always your authentic-self then you will always have rotating friendships. They will teach you things about yourself - some good and some bad. Absorb and learn. When they leave, thank them in your heart.
Say to yourself: I will cherish my lost friendships.

Don't let adversity get you down
What is your challenge? Let it all out. It's ok to say, "Things are not ok." Honoring your feelings of fear and disappointment can help you with change. Change for the better. After you have had it out - think of something small that you can do to move you forward. Don't go for crazy big just start small and add to it on a regular basis - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly...you get the picture.
Say: I will rise above the adversity.
