- Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
- Thou Shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
- Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
- Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.
- Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make poor bedfellows.
- Thou shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than you can.
- Thou shall not tr
y to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!
- Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking, and some people do know more than you do.
- Thou shall not become “bogged down” by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.
- Thou shall count thy blessings, never over looking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.
Have a Great Day!
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes
midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or … I can be thankful
that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or … I can be glad that
my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from
waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or … I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing
up or … I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns
or …I can celebrate that thorns
have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or … I can excitedly embark upon a
quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or … I can shout for joy
because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind
and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can
appreciate that I have a place to call home.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the
sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will
have!
Have a GREAT DAY … unless you have other plans.
