30 Days to a better ME
I recently ran across an article entitled 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself written by Marc Chernoff on his blog http://www.marcandangel.com/.
After reading it I decided I would make a post each day in the next 30 day month, so this series began the first of November. My thought I would break the list out to one a day and focus on that for each day. If you missed the earlier posts, you can still catch them on my blog.
I also prefer to phrase things in the positive, so planned to take the DON’T and put it in the form of a DO. However, as I began to start this “series” I found that the author had just posted a follow-up to the original article in the affirmative as I had planned, so I am sharing both the “DON’T” and the “DO”. Links to the original articles are included in this post so if you just can’t wait for the dispensing of one a day, feel free to enjoy the wisdom of Marc all in one sitting if you choose, or follow along with me for the next 30 days.
from the DON’T list
Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness.
If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else. Read Stumbling on Happiness.
from the DO list
Start creating your own happiness.
If you are waiting for someone else to make you happy, you’re missing out. Smile because you can. Choose happiness. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be happy with who you are now, and let your positivity inspire your journey into tomorrow. Happiness is often found when and where you decide to seek it. If you look for happiness within the opportunities you have, you will eventually find it. But if you constantly look for something else, unfortunately, you’ll find that too.
