Thoughts For Positive Thinking & Living

My old next-door-neighbor and childhood chum Matt posted a top ten list that's right up Hidden Blog's alley...

1. Decide to focus on what you do have.
2. Decide to become Curious and not Judgmental. For He who is without sin, let Him cast the first stone.
3. Ask yourself more often "What else could this mean?"
4. Never Assume. Ask.
5. Develop the HABIT of giving Compliments.
6. Decide for your goal each day to be more, try more, do more, love more, contribute more.
7. Realize that you will screw up again, and Do NOT make it into a catastrophic event, but see it as it is...You'll be able to bounce back quicker than you think possible.
8. The only way to fail is to quit. You are not a quitter.
9. Create Certainty within yourself, believe in yourself, and believe in your positive future.
10. Make time for yourself. Take a walk. Ride a bike. Read a book. Call an old friend. Replenish your YOU tank.

These steps are quite simple, meaning easily written and easily read, but to accomplish them...ONLY YOU can make that effort. Some may look at them as challenging. I encourage you to try your best, and see what kind of results you get. It just might change your life.
