Just because someone...

Says "No" to you.

Doesn't mean you have to say "No" to yourself!

We have all experienced more "No's" in our lifetime than we would like
to admit, and when you really think about it, they usually have come
from someone not really understanding us, or what we were asking.

And the one who accepts the "No", is really saying "No" to themselves,
which is a shame, because it didn't even come from them.

So always remember, no matter who says "No" to you, never say "No" to
yourself...it's just not right.

If you can do it...

There's really nothing to it.

But it doesn't mean what you do, isn't amazing!

Playing a guitar, doing a pirouette, typing super fast, singing on key,
drawing...the list goes on and on, and there IS something you are great
at.

I am amazed at the talent I see, just walking around.

So if you can do it, there maybe nothing to it...to you, but it sure is something
to others.

Remember the good old days where...

All that mattered was Where and When?

It's a pretty good plan...getting back to simplicity.

But with work, friends, family and commitments as we grow older, the
Where and When, seems to be replaced by How and Why.

Maybe we should loosen up a bit and be ready and excited for everything
and anything that comes our way...we used to be that way, and there is
no reason we can't get back to the good old days.

We all make choices...

Everyday, which effects us everyday.

But sometimes the "Big" choices come up and we don't always know if we
are making the right decision.

Well, nothing can guarantee that we are making the right choices, but
there are some safeguards the we can be mindful of when the "Big"
choices come up, and they are:

1. Investigate, research or talk with someone about your choice to be
made.
2. The grass Always looks greener.
3. Don't quit your "day job".
4. Commit only when the time is right, and when you can feel good about
your decision.

Remember, there are never any guarantees - but there is always some
assurance.

We all know...

The folks in our lives, where a discussion tends to end up in a
disagreement...when we have an opposing opinion.

We often forget and disagree with that person, which virtually always
ends up in a "spat".

We don't have that challenge with others - so we must remember that the
challenge is part of "their game" and only becomes "our game" if we
allow it.

We're not saying we must kowtow to them, just let them play "their
game" - it's theirs, and not ours.

After all "Why poke the bear"?

Sharing is...

Caring.

That's from our very own Illustrious Fred!

He's right - and we innately learned it when we were kids - you
remember - when you cared about someone - you shared, and when you
didn't - they got nothing.

But as we grow older, we also begin to understand that sharing is just
a great thing to do - no matter what we have, or who the other person
is...because as adults, we know something that we didn't know as a
kid...we can always get more of what we share, and when we share
first, it opens the spirit of caring.

Nice one - Making the World a Better Place
