I need a bit on inspiring thoughts to get me to the end of the year... and found these.
- Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.
- Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.
- Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
- Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
- Be forgiving of yourself and others.
- Be generous.
- Have a grateful heart.
- Persistence, persistence, persistence.
- Discipline yourself to save money on even the most modest salary.
- Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
- Commit yourself to constant improvement.
- Commit yourself to quality.
- Understand that happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.
- Be loyal.
- Be honest.
- Be a self-starter.
- Be decisive even if it means you'll sometimes be wrong.
- Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your life.
- Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
- Take good care of those you love.
- Don't do anything that wouldn't make your Mom proud.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

and no one else.
18. When it comes to going after what you love in life,
don't take no for an answer.

36. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

else's, we'd grab ours back.

Success is such a tricky concept.
Who defines it? How do you measure it? Is it a destination? When are you there?
Do you measure success by a single goal far reaching you’re always striving
for, but never fully achieving, or could success be something you can feel on a
daily basis? What if we celebrated mini successes every day? Think of the
energizing, satisfying, dare I say successful way it would make us
feel? I would love to find a way to look at life like that, rather than
looking so far up the road all the time. I’m not saying that’s easy though.
Other people’s measuring sticks are always so appealing {why is that??}. I struggle
constantly with feelings of total inadequacy. Even after huge
achievements. We are our own worst critics right? ..... interested to read more? Click here
