Before you

Amen to that-do the best thoughts come any simpler than this? And,since there are six suggestions,why not try one everyday, with Sunday being the day to implement all six together? Good luck!!(To me,too,coz I want to try it as well!)Truly inspirational gem!Thanks,Pravsworld.

Happy Thoughts

I thought the list in the last but one post said a lot, but, I received an email, with some further tips to avoid hassles, specially at work. Here goes:

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what
may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain.
Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that
will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over
time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find
out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you
can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key
buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent
an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a religious book with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small
problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try
and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is
often a good 'Thank you God '
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that
you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING
THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

There,doesn't that make a lot of sense in the context of our daily working lives?

Attitude

Be understanding to your perceived enemies..

Be loyal to your friends.

Be strong enough to face the world each day.

Be weak enough to know.

you cannot do everything alone.

Be generous to those who need your help.

Be frugal with what you need yourself.

Be wise enough to know that.

you do not know everything.

Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.

Be willing to share your joys.

Be willing to share the sorrows of others.

Be a leader when you see a

path others have missed.

Be a follower when you are shrouded

by the mists of uncertainty.

Be first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.

Be last to criticize a colleague who fails.

Be sure where your next step will fall,

so that you will not tumble.

Be sure of your final destination,

in case you are going the wrong way.

Be loving to those who love you.

Be loving to those who do not

love you; they may change.

Above all, be yourself.

Simple, yet inspirational. Think of the last time you went and genuinely congratulated your competitor-at school/college/work. Or, the last time you didn't look smug when a colleague failed/got a firing from the boss.Sigh!!But,on the positive side,once you're aware, things always improve.:)

There, wasn't it great? I read it through once more while giving each line a number, and it's amazing. Thanks,Pravsworld!

Success

Now,if only people would realize that,they might be able to give up their high ego levels, which lead to all the fights,tensions and arguments,wouldn't they? How often have we heard the dialogue' Do you know who I am?'..nothing puts me off more than hearing someone say that to someone they consider lower than their level.

As Time Changes

Isn't that just too,too true? We think of some people as being fickle-minded..people who're on your side one minute, and, flit over to the other, the other minute. Anything, as long as it suits their warped sense of what is right! Personally, I keep a watch out for such people, and, once I have a bad experience with them, it's simple- take everything they say with a pinch of salt or sugar, depending on whether they said something annoying or nice!!:)Have a lovely day, all!

World-mirror

Isn't that just soo well said? Everything around you is a reflection of you,your nature,how you look at the world. Indeed,positivity does beget positivity!For a day,just try to avoid anything even slightly negative(easier said than done,I know). I definitely will- and,will let you know the results tomorrow!Cheerio!
