Attitudes are Contagious - Is yours worth catching?


7 Simple Truths:

Rule #1: Wait to Worry - What were you worried about this time last year? "Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but today of it's strength." Charles Spurgeon

Rule #2: Keep an Attitude of Gratitude - Count your blessings and jot them down! "Feeling gratitude, and not expressing it - is like wrapping a present, and not giving it away." William Ward

Rule #3: Your Health is Your Wealth - If you lose your health you lose everything. Take time to exercise, catch up on your sleep, and eat right. "One of the main qualities it takes to succeed - is energy." Katherine Hepburn.

Rule #4: Joy Boomerangs - Do something good for someone else - the joy you give, boomerangs back to you! "If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." Booker T. Washington

Rule #5: Learn to say NO! - We have limits to our time, energy, and interests. "If we always say 'yes', we run a greater risk of severing relationships than if we just said no to start with." Vicki Hitzgens

Rule #6: Understand the Power of Discipline - If you discipline yourself today, you'll enjoy your life more tomorrow. "Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you." Henry Ward Beecher

Rule #7: Surround yourself w/ Positive People - Find people who will challenge you, believe in you and inspire you to improve! "To love and be loved is to feel the son from both sides." David Viscott


Attitudes are contagious...let someone else catch yours today!

Much Love.
