Accept and appreciate that you're the one most responsible for making your dreams come true. Be your own best friend. Cheer yourself on. Choose your thoughts, because if you don't , you're still making a choice and you'll have to take what you get. In your mind's eye, create a positive picture that will draw what you want to you. Your intuition is powerful; use it. Keep your desires burning. Don't be afraid to take careful chances. Inform yourself. Make the connection between your thoughts, your actions, and the results you're getting. The cumulative quality of your actions will weave the tapestry of your destiny. Live your life Consciously; don't just let your life live you. Look at your circumstances as life lessons rather than adversities. Keep a careful watch over your joy. Cherish it. Acknowledge your blessings, no matter how small they may seem. You are a student in the school of life and in many ways your own teacher. Appreci

Every day, be full of awareness     of the beauty around you. Be full of gratitude    for friends and family, for the goodness you find in others, for your health and all you're capable of. Be full of acceptance    of yourself and others---- without conditions or judging, knowing that differences and changes    make life interesting. Appreciate the gifts of laughter    and fun in your life and find contentment in knowing    that you can always control your ability to look on the bright side.                                                  ----Barbara Cage Promise yourself to accept life as it comes and truly make each day special---- to become more independent and more willing to change---- to fill your life with special times, and make your dreams come true.                                    ------Deanna Beisser

In life, there will inevitably be obstacles to encounter. But don't worry that they will seem too great for you to handle, because you can. You may doubt yourself at times, but know that if you have faith, you have everything. Faith is the key to being successful. If you know you are capable of anything because of who you are, you will always reach your destination. It may not always be easy, but it will always be worth it. Look ahead of you, never behind. Have faith in yourself. If you do, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish                                ----T.L.Nash                               -----A daybook of positive thinking

There is good in life every day. Take a few minutes to distract yourself from your concerns--- long enough to draw strength from a tree or to find pleasure in a bird's song. Return a smile; realize that life is a series of levels cycles of ups and downs--- some easy, some challenging. Through it all, you will learn; you will grow strong in faith; you will mature in understanding. The difficult times are often the best teachers, and there is good to be found in all situations. Reach for the good. Be positive, and don't give up.                          -----Pamela Owens Renfro                         ------A daybook of positive thinking

Refuse to be unhappy     be cheerful instead. Refuse To let your troubles multiply;     just take them one by one. Refuse to complain about things;     learn to improve your surroundings and create your world     the way you believe it should be. Refuse to dwell  on the mistakes     or disappointments that are sometimes a part of life; instead learn how you can      make things better. Be otimistic Be energetic and positive       about  the things you do and always hope for the best. Believe in yourself at all times       and in all aspects of your life Before you know it, those wonderful dreams you have believed in all your life       will come true, and your life will be the happy and successful life      that it was meant to be.                                ----Ben Daniels                                -----A daybook of positive thinking
