Creative Powers
When the easy answers have been tried and the problem remains, the time is ripe for your creative powers. Be willing to look at things in a new way, think about them with a fresh perspective, and tap the hidden ideas within yourself.
Approach
If you want others to approach you, first you must approach them. A positive moment so do not fear anything. Make the most of this as collaboration is very good at this time.
Starting Point of Success
Your unlimited power lies in your ability to control your thoughts. A confused mind works in the direction of sickness, poverty, lack and limitation rather than in the direction of abundance, health and success.
Together
You will be happy with another person to the degree to which you both share the same values, attitudes, ambitions and beliefs.
Smile
Happy face has positive benefits both for you and the people around you. That’s true in personal and work relationships. Smiling makes everyone feel good.
Pollution
Burning fossil fuels generates alarming levels of pollution that affect every living organism on the planet. We pollute our cities the worst, contributing to tens of millions of premature deaths each year due to the disease-causing effects of inhaled by-products from combustion engines, coal plants and other machines powered by fossil fuels. Fossil fuels also contribute to global pollution through oils spills, oil extraction, oil refining, and other processes. Try to reduce these by unnecessary usage of fossil fuels.
Choosing Our Attitudes
All of us have the privilege and responsibility of choosing our attitudes, no matter what circumstances or situations we find ourselves in. The keyword here is choosing. Attitudes don’t just happen; they are the products of our choices. Over time, the thought patterns established in our minds can put us on “autopilot,” which means that when certain types of situations occur, we are preprogrammed to think about them in certain ways. We have to interrupt this autopilot function and learn to stop our minds from going in the directions they have gone for years, if that direction is not producing good things in our lives.
Having Fun

| Having Fun |
Fun is for young people. They have the time, they have the opportunity, they have the ability. Those may be common assumptions, but none are true. Though the source of fun and happiness may change over the course of our lives, our ability to have fun and our interest in doing so are in no way reduced as we age.
Share What You Know
Life is Yours
This life is yours. Take the power to choose what your want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy. ~Susan Polis Schutz
Good Friend
Who is a "good friend"? How is he best described? Well, it has been my observation that although many will cry with you, few can sincerely rejoice with you. Therefore, in my opinion, a good friend is one who can enjoy your successes without envy.
-Anonymous
Enrich
To achieve your aims, you will have to unite with virtuous people. Indeed it will be easier to reach every objective if a group of individuals (albeit of different characters), had the same common goal. However always keep your own personality and act so that you en-richen one another.
Procrastination
Procrastination is nothing but Putting off or Delaying or Deferring an action to a later time
Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.
- Napoleon Hill
Gift Trees in Celebration / Memory
Planting a tree is an act of direct benefit to all. It can inspire energy, faith, devotion, and courage and carry forward the name of those memorialized in a living, vital way that grows grander with the years.
A time for everything
A time for everything: A time to relax and a time to be busy, a time to frolic and a time to labor, a time to receive and a time to give, a time to begin and a time to finish.
Jonathan Lockwood Huie A time to be born,
A time to die,
A time to plant,
A time to harvest,
A time to kill,
A time to heal,
A time to destroy,
A time to rebuild,
A time to cry,
A time to laugh, A time to grieve, A time to dance, A time for scattering stones, A time for gathering stones, A time to hug, A time not to hug, A time to find, A time to lose, A time for keeping, A time for throwing away, A time to tear, A time to repair, A time to be quiet, A time to speak up, A time for loving, A time for hating, A time for war, A time for peace.
The Bible
Impulsive
When you're young, you don't really know quite what you're aiming at. You're very impulsive and acting on impulse, which is very important and valuable. But you're kind of swimming in a blind sea. When you get older, you have more of a sense of direction.
Problem Solving
We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that we used when we created them.
—Albert Einstein
Frugal Living
Frugality is not just about saving money, it is about learning how to manage with what you have and not spend beyond what you can’t afford. It is a life experience that everyone should try because having the experience of living frugally can prepare unexpected situations that we are going to face in the future..
Assertiveness
Assertiveness is a little like motivation inasmuch as many people feel they should be more assertive or that they are just not assertive enough. Many people seem to want it, but are not quite sure what it really is.
Three D's of New Habit Formation
You need three key qualities to develop the habits of focus and concentration, which are all learn-able. They are Decision, Discipline and Determination.
First, make a decision to develop the habit of task completion. Second, discipline yourself to practice the principles you are about to learn over and over until they become automatic. And Third, back everything you do with determination until the habit is locked in and becomes a permanent part of your personality.
Golf
The more I practice, the luckier I get.
-Gary Player
Golf is a matter of confidence. If you think you cannot do it, there is no chance you will.
-Henry Cotton
Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.
-B.C. Forbes
I'm hitting the woods just great, but I'm having a terrible time getting out of there.
-Harry Toscano
Enthusiasm VS Self-control
Enthusiasm is the vital quality that arouses you to action, while Self-control is the balance wheel that directs your action so that it will build up and not tear down.
Excellence
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
Simple Joy
The essence of life is not in the great victories and grand failures, but in the simple joys.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Hold My Hand
Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.' 'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father. 'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl. 'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.' This message is too short.......but carries a lot of Feelings. In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours.
Money Can’t Buy Happiness
Name the happiest day of your life. For almost everyone, that day had nothing to do with money. Yet we spend much of our work time and free time directed toward money: making more, getting more, keeping more, and spending more. Money is necessary for the basics of life, to be sure, but increasing sums of money do not increase our enjoyment of life—just our desire for more money. Treasures For Life
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain.
Patience
"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."
Achievements
All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought, are governed by the same law and are of the same method; the only difference lies in the object of attainment.
He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little. He who would achieve much must sacrifice much. He who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.
Successful People
Successful people appear to be traveling along one continual, successful road. What is not apparent is the perseverance it takes following each defeat to keep you on that road. No one I know of has ever experienced one success after another without defeats, failures, disappointments, and frustrations galore along the way. Learning to overcome those times of agony is what separates the winners from the losers.
Enjoy Hot Tea not the Cups
A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot tea, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot tea and an assortment of cups-porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite telling them to help themselves to the hot tea.
When they all had a cup of hot tea in hand, the professor said: " Notice that all the nice looking: expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot tea. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot tea, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other cups.
Now consider this: Life is the hot tea; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we fail to enjoy the hot tea we have.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything..
They just make the best of everything that they have.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And enjoy your life!"
