THE OPTIMNIST'S CREED
PROMISE YOURSELF-
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear
and too HAPPY to permit the presence of trouble!

Happiness is a choice. It's a state of mind you choose. Happiness comes from within, not from outside things. God gave us the gift of free will. We are absolutely free to choose our outlook on life. Despite our circumstances, we choose how we look at our days. Things happen for a reason, and our decisions are all ours. Every decision in life comes with a result. If we overeat, we gain weight. If we overspend, we gain debt. If we aren't nice to people, they aren't nice to us. It's quite simple. Perhaps it boils down to loving ourselves enough to know that we deserve to be happy. This feeling is independent of things defining us.....physical appearance, cars, houses, clothes, stuff. The challenge is to have enough confidence and love for ourselves to own our happiness in this life.
You only have one life............this was forwarded to me from my friend Jackie. (author unknown)
One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore".
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all
used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage ......
And old cars ..
And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it, because
we are worth it.
Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!
Suppose one morning you never wakeup, do all your friends know you love them?
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what..
I was thinking..I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little wordsand a smile can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.....I LOVE YA!!!
Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.
