At our latest Team Meeting, our Team Leader passed out a simple list of 40 Tips for a Better Life.  I have taken this list and abbreviated it to my top 7 favorites (it was hard to do) and emphasized each point with a picture and quote.  Today is the day to decide to live a better life-- do not put it off!!

1. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, "My purpose is to __________ today." 

 
"We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared." -Mary Kay Ash

2. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

"Give your stress wings and let it fly away."  -Carin Hartness

3. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -Leo Buscaglia

4-5.  The best is yet to come.  However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

"When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes." - Oprah Winfrey
"Nothing Endures but Change."- Heraclitus

6. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

"I've been getting rid of some clutter- anything that doesn't serve a positive purpose in my life- and making room for things that feel happy to me.  Because I get to make my life whatever I want it to be.  I get to make the room feel however I want it to feel." -Jan Denise

7. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:  I am thankful for ___. Today I accomplished ___.

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." -Anatole France

Do not wait until January 1st to resolve towards having a better life; start today!  What will you do?
