Self Improvement Project

I wanted to share some weekly tips on how you can get out of the rut! Do you want a better life? I will be sharing weekly tips on what I want to call "Project Self Improvement".

Happiness is everywhere! But some people are having a hard time defining the true meaning of happiness in their life. When you begin to "work" on yourself for example improving your self you can and will achieve a happier meaning to your life. 

I will share 5 tips a week for the next few weeks. I challenge you to practice these 5 tips daily for the next week. Continue on adding the weekly tips. Determine which ones work for you and your lifestyle.  And practice them daily.


Tip 1:  Talk to Someone - Find a happy person to talk too. Ask them their secret to happiness. A happy person will share with you what enables them to feel this way and why the benefits of being happy lead to being positive.

Tip 2:  Don't Overlook Pleasure in Your Life - Make a list of anything and everything that pleases you. Once you do that, take a moment and ask yourself when was the last time I was being that person and/or doing those things?  Hint: Now do all or some of those things!
Tip 3: Be Grateful - Wake up with an attitude to gratitude. Begin each and every new day of your life with a few minutes of quiet reflection about all the things you have to be grateful for, journal those things with your morning coffee or tea. Now silently to yourself or out loud, say thank-you for each item on the list.  Believe me, there is no better way to start your day and open yourself up to the possibility of happiness. 

Tip 4: Be in Sync with Your Surroundings - Your emotions are affected by the world you live in - your physical and social surroundings. If you are in sync with that world, you have a much better change of achieving happiness in your life.  Think about where you currently live. Ask yourself are you happy? If the answer is no maybe you can consider moving to a different area in which you would feel happier. 
Tip 5: Be Ethical - Becoming a more ethical person :  Develop a set of principles to live by that conform to society's expectations.  Always try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. If you wouldn't want someone to take advantage of you, then don't take advantage of others.  Are you consistent? Don't tell one person something in one situation and then tell someone else just the opposite in another situation.

I Am Responsible For My Own Happiness

I wanted to share this thought with you today because of something that happened to me the other day. Do you know that YOU are responsible for YOUR own happiness? There are times when we have to deal with lessons in life. We grown up with divorce parents, sometimes without parent(s), or sad events that effect our lives. I know because I have been in those shoes. I will be honest there was a time in my life that I blamed everyone else for my happiness (because I wasn't living a happy life).....it wasn't until I began "dealing" with me that I began to discover so many things. I know that "I am responsible for my own happiness!" not my parents, not the bad relationships, not my family, not even my children.  I am responsible. Now that I know this I want to share my insights with others.....I know LIFE can be a challenge BUT nothing that you are going through should steal your happiness!! Life is a gift!! No matter what YOU are dealing with....sometimes we m...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than  It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are - It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - It's when things seem worst that...
