Better things to do
You cannot raise yourself up by putting others down. There is no real joy to be found in the misfortune of others. You have so many better things to do.

Those who resort to envy, gossip, spite and revenge primarily hurt themselves, though many others can, and often do, get hurt as well. Nothing of value is accomplished and the time spent on such negative pursuits can never be reclaimed, the damage never fully repaired. What a pitiful, tragic waste.

When you feel the urge to pull someone down, stop and ask yourself what it will gain you. Then turn that urge around. Redirect your energy. Find someone whom you can lift up. The value to yourself and your world will be infinitely greater. At every opportunity, put your precious time and effort where they will make a positive difference. You'll add true and lasting richness to your life.

The easy way
The easy way out rarely is. Easy answers can be very attractive, and very dangerous. Difficult problems require solid effort and commitment. So do ambitious goals.

In fact, taking the easy way out makes the situation worse. It may seem like the best choice at the moment, but it actually moves you backward instead of forward.

The more your actions are driven by expediency, the less effective they will be. One quick and easy solution will soon require another, and another, and after all that you'll be farther behind than when you started.

Rather than doing what is easy, do what is best. In the final analysis, that is truly the easiest way out.

This is so true. I know.......I was a raging alcoholic. I have been sober for a little over three months, I know I'm not out of the woods completely, but trying hard.

Subbed this thread. I think it may help me a lot.

Every twist and turn
There is potential for joy in every moment, whatever the situation. The only reason your job is boring, is because you choose to see it as such. The only reason your neighbor is unpleasant, is because you think of him as such.

Accept what is. Find the good in everything that surrounds you. Nothing will ever make you happy, until you decide to be happy. Accept what is, and you have the ability to make it whatever you want. Nothing can make you happy, and yet you can make happiness from anything.

Struggle and strife, laughter and fun, tears and smiles are all part of the same incredibly lavish symphony that is life. The richness of being alive is never conditional. It won't all be fun, but would you really want it to be? Rejoice in every twist and turn of the path, because that is where the living is.

Wake up rich
When you worry about what you don't have, it is a waste of what you do have. You already have everything you need to be the person you are. Everything you've accomplished, all that you've experienced, all that you are right now, has come from what you already have.

Life is rich indeed, and it is already yours. Focus on what you can do with it. Seek out ways in which you can make a real, substantial difference. Rather than worrying about what you don't have, make the highest and best use of what you do have. It has been enough to bring you this far. And the more you value what you have, the more useful it will be.

The only thing stopping you from making the most of your life, is you. You already have what it takes. There is a fortune inside of you, waiting to be mined. Put it to use today. You can wake up rich tomorrow, and grow wealthier every day.

Now is the day
Before this day is over, you can make your world a better place.

Rather than spending the whole day pursuing comfort and avoiding inconvenience, get up and do something meaningful. Rather than just reacting to the random events that come along, focus on a particular goal and get it done. Instead of continuing to worry about something that needs to be done, just go ahead and get it over with.

Use your creativity. Exercise your mind and your body. Whatever you do today, you'll be tired when it is all over. Will you be tired from enduring the same old thing as every other day? Or will you be exhausted after a day of creative effort and accomplishment? Think of how refreshing that would be!

Today is already underway, and it will end all too soon. Decide to fill it with life. Decide to make it great. See for yourself how far you can go, when you make the most of today.

Get results
Success depends on results. Not on your intentions. Not on your wishes. Not on how hard you "try."

Results are what count. When you consistently get results for others, you are in high demand. No employer wants to pay a salary, yet every employer is eager to buy results. No customer wants to pay the sales price, yet every customer wants to buy results.

Think in terms of results. Make sure that the end result is the goal of every action you take. What will be the result? Prioritize your efforts based on the results they will accomplish. Evaluate your actions based on their effectiveness.

What are you doing today? What results will that lead to? What could you be doing, that would be even more effective? Go for the results, focus on the results, work for the results, and you'll get them.

You are more
You are more than the body you live in. You are more than the car you drive. You are more than the title on your business card. You are more than your past. You are more than your daily routine.

You are everything that you dare to imagine, filled with possibility. Your only limits are the ones you place on yourself. Think of the things you can do, the places you can go, the person you can be.

You are capable of greatness, of joy. You can love and laugh, create and build, think and choose, learn and grow, dream and accomplish. Now is the time to live your possibilities. Imagine how it could be, and go for it.

Of course
Do you ever catch yourself saying "of course?"

"I stopped at the store to get some bread and of course they were all out. Jean just called and of course she won't be able to come to the meeting. I installed the new software and of course I can't figure out how to get it working."

When you say "of course" do you realize what it implies? That whatever you were expecting, is what actually happened. Of course. Do expectations create your reality? Of course they do.

So make a practice of expecting the best. "Of course the meeting will go well. Of course I'll understand this. Of course we can do that.

You'll rarely get more than you expect. Usually, you get exactly what you expect. So expect the very best.

How true!

I've been out the last few days as we've recently discovered my father has cancer. It's a challenging road ahead but I have accepted it and will help him fight this disease one way or another.

Keep them coming...

Plan to win
Too often, when you visualize all the things that could go wrong, you never even make the attempt. You're defeated before you even start, by your own imagination.

It doesn't have to be that way. You can visualize anything you want. Your imagination is yours to control. Instead of anticipating defeat, plan in your mind to win. See yourself achieving. Consider the possible challenges you'll face, and then see yourself successfully overcoming them.

You don't need any money, or experience, or knowledge, or permission from anyone else to be a winner in your own mind. You can do it right now, and tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. And whatever you can visualize in vivid detail, is well on its way to happening.

Think about what you do want, and discard thoughts of what you don't want. Be a winner in your mind, and your positive mind will make you a winner.

At this stage from the CT scan & first biopsy, looks like Lung cancer that has spread to neck (lymph nodes) and possibly liver.. he had a PET scan on Monday (this gives a better indication) and is having another "core" biopsy of the neck lump today.

He's 71 and sort of knows what's coming, he just said he doesn't want to go through the suffering as he watched his brother & sister in law pass away with cancer as well.

It comes back
See the beauty in the world around you. It will awaken and revive the very real beauty within yourself. Admire and appreciate the discipline and focus of others. You will become more focused and disciplined yourself.

Everything to which you pay heed in the world that surrounds you, resonates within yourself. If you envy and resent others for their success, that negativity reflects back on yourself. Instead, recognize and respect the achievements of others. Then their success will be a part of you, and you a part of it.

You cannot escape the consequences of a negative thought, regardless of to whom that thought is directed. Though you may be perfectly justified in being negative, look for the positive anyway. You cannot give without getting, so give the best that you have.

Something drives you
Something causes you to take action. Something motivates you with 100% effectiveness. Do you know what it is? Something gets you out of bed in the morning. Even on the days you sleep late, you eventually get up. Do you know why?

Something drives you to do the things you do. Perhaps it is your family, your faith, your vision, your fear, the desire for a better life, love, the desire for pleasure, or an infinite number of other things. Most likely it is a combination of factors. It's different for everyone.

Something drives you, and at some level, buried deep inside of your self awareness, you know what it is. The more fully you understand and appreciate what drives you, the more control you have over your own life. You're able to accomplish precisely what you want to accomplish.

Something drives you, on a moment by moment basis. Look inside yourself, harness that power, control it, direct it, and you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to achieve.



MARRY CHRISTMAS everyone.
Gods blessings on each and everyone of you.
Enjoy the family and friends and food.
