Special hello to Ash McKellar.
"It's too difficult. Don't attempt it. Give up!"
Is this voice in your mind speaking defeat over you? Maybe you want to get in better shape, or get better grades, or stop eating candy or chips. No matter what it is I can guarantee you this. 3 months from now you are either going to say, "I'm glad I did." Or, "I wish I had."
Remember, "The pain is temporary, but the pride is forever."

Are You a Motivational Speaker?
Dedicated to all of the veterans who know the most important aspect of life, "It's about others."
Yes you are! If you have ever given advice to a child, a friend or a spouse, that is a form of motivation. You may even consider it a PEP talk.

Feel Feel Feel
Special hello to Chrysti Lauter.
If you want to be the best at what you do, you cannot allow your feelings to get in the way of your actions. Don’t allow your feelings to decide your actions. Allow your actions to decide your feelings. In other words don’t act you feel. Feel how you act. If you want to be the best basketball player, best student, best worker or if just want to be great at anything, you cannot allow your feelings to interfere with your actions.
"Force yourself to act differently than you feel."

Are You on the Right Bus?
Special hello to Gailmarie Sprague.
Is it taking you where you want to go? If not then you might want to get off.
"If you don't know where you are going in life, you will probably never get there." ~Yogi Berra
Are you tired of going around and around the same circle everyday? Are yyou stuck in an unadventurous routine? What you might be saying is that you have lost the enthusiasm you once had for your life. If that is true then you might have stepped on to the wrong bus.
Depending on your life, you may not be able to get off. In which case, don't allow your circumstances to kill your enthusiasm for life.
"Life is not meant to be endured. Life is meant to be enjoyed." ~Joel Osteen

There is NO NEUTRAL!
Special hello to Kara DeMaio.
"A plant is either growing or dying."
We are all on the same team. Don't believe me? People in an elevator usually are just individuals and don't realize that they are on a team. But if the elevator gets stuck, watch how quickly they become a team and work together.
We have always been on a team. We just don't practice together until there is a crisis situation. In which case you must understand this: No matter where you go in life, you are either bringing something to the party or taking something away.
Are you contributing to the environment or contaminating it? Are you helping or hurting? Teams are either pulling together or pulling apart.
You attitude is affecting everyone around you. The grudges and worries that you carry with you may be getting in the way of your teammates: at work, in school, in a waiting room, in your family, etc... People are watching the way you live. Your actions are preaching to others.
"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."

Attitude is Everything
"Your attitude is the fragrance of your heart."
Who determines your attitude? You? Or is everyone else's actions in charge of your mood? Some people's mood for the day is determined by whether or not their favorite team won last night. Some people's mood is determined by the way other people drive before they get to work. We can do this all day.
You will get what you look for. What are you looking for? Is it peace, happiness, excitement? Or are you looking for worry, defeat and bitterness?
"Start controlling your life and stop allowing your life control you." ~Joyce Meyer

Do You Have a Habit of Peace?
If your answer is no, then answer this. Are your actions matching the results that you want?
Are you worried about everything?
Do you spend today trying to figure out tomorrow?
Do you spend most of your life in reasoning? Some always have to know, why?
Some people can't rest until they have everything figured out.
Is this what you call living? You cannot have this and have peace.
"Peace is being able to give up what you cannot control and focus on what you can."

How to Give Other People Power?
Let them rent space in your head.
When we allow others to rent space in our head, here is what happens:
they walk in, throw a party, trash the place, leave and then you are left with all the garbage. How much garbage do you clean up on a day to day basis?
Stop letting other people's thoughts control your feelings. When you do this, you are saying that everyone else is in control of your mood.
"Stop giving other people the responsiblity for your personal joy." ~Joyce Meyer
Thank you Ed Agresta.

The Gift of Goodbye
Positive people are the fuel that inspires those who need it.
You cannot hang around negative people and expect to live a positive life. Sometimes in order to grow, you have to let go.
Maybe these words are a little harsh. But ask yourself one question. How many people in your life are inspiring you to be the person you want to become? How many have you inspired to get to the next level?

Good things become memories.
Bad things become lessons.

Why Worry?
Dedicated to all the Mothers of the world.
If you want to be stressed out, then worry.
If you need more anxiety, then worry.
If you must have control, then you will spend much of your life in a state of worry.
If you don't want inner peace, then worry.
If you have a hard time relaxing, then you probably worry.
Some people spend most of their lives trying to get everything in order so they don't have to worry about the future. But they eventually find something else to worry about.
You choose to worry. Worry doesn't choose you.
"If you think how you always did, you will get what you always got; worry."

Definition of Worry
It seems like some parents have children because they don't have enough things to worry about. We know this isn't true. But worry is not the result of children. Worry is the result of not having faith.
Do you have Faith? Or do you have Worry? Faith and worry cannot exist.
Worry-tormenting yourself with negative thoughts
Why would we ever want to torment ourselves by thinking these thoughts over our own family or friends?
"Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair; it passes the time but doesn't get you anywhere."

Yea, I know, I know
Special hello to Lauren Frasco.
Ever give advice and the persons response is, "I know, I know."
"If you know what to do, but you don't do what you know; then it doesn't matter that you know what to do."
Sound confusing? If you don't understand this, then your actions may repeat it.
K-A=O
Knowledge without Action equals Nothing.

Shut Up!
Special Hello to Vanessa Rodriguez.
If you say it to them, don't get upset when they say it to you.
"If you don't like the way someone treats you and you continue to treat them the same way, then you will just get more of the same treatment."
Ever tell someone to shut up? What we are really saying might be, "I don't want you to speak about things that I don't want you to speak about. I control what you say."
This may not be the message that you're intending to send out, but this might be the message that many are receiving.
How much of our lives are spent trying to control other adults?
"Shut up! STOP! Don't do that!"
"Control your emotions or your emotions will control you."

Respect Should Prevail When the Conversation Fails
Ever notice that some people speak to pets with more respect than they speak to each other.
Why do many of us judge others by their actions, but then judge ourselves by our capabilities?
"Well they cut me off!" "They were rude first." "He disrespected me." We could all use these excuses to react poorly to others. Your reactions to negative situations are a peek into who you are.
"A negative reaction is a confession of pain."

Happiness is a Decision
Some people die at 50 years old, but they don't get buried until 80.
Down allow the media or other people talk you into having a down day. Do you know how much energy it takes to hold a grudge and be bitter?
Stop reliving your disappointments!
Happiness is not linked to those who have hurt you. Happiness stems from the lessons in it and the ability to enjoy your life, regardless of what obstacle comes your way. Your obligation is to protect your joy. Stop giving it away to things you can't control.
"When you don't get up with a purpose you start losing your desire to live."
