Question? Are you in control? Are you in charge? What Type of Attitude Counts?

Does anyone else make lists? Here's a list I compiled, and each time I come across a good thought or a good idea or reminder, I add it to this list. It will continue to grow, but here are some basic rules that I believe, I think, and I do. I know that I am in control of what I think, about how I feel, about how I react or act. I do not allow others to determine how I will feel or how I will act.

I do not let others control my future or my decisions. I know that I will never be finished with all of the myriad tasks at hand. I am happy. I am enjoying life. I've learned lots of good stuff - along the way to being me! And I am enjoying my life NOW!

Perhaps you can add something to this list that you adhere to and believe. For each one you agree with, add ten points. For each you do not believe in, deduct ten points. It will help you see how you think...and maybe how you can take charge of your own life. Would you rather be around someone positive? How do our friends and clients feel? How would they rate us?

1. No one can ruin your day without YOUR permission.

2. Most people will be about as happy, as they decide to be.

3. Others can stop you temporarily, but only you can do it permanently.

4. Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.

5. Success stops when you do.

6. When your ship comes in.... make sure you are willing to unload it.

7. You will never "have it all together".

8. Life is a journey...not a destination. Enjoy the trip!

9. The biggest lie on the planet: "When I get what I want I will be happy" and the second: "when I get older, I'll have more time."

10. The best way to escape your problem is to solve it.

11. I've learned that ultimately , 'takers' lose and 'givers' win.

12. Life's precious moments don't have value, unless they are shared.

13. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive.

14. We often fear the thing we want the most.

15. He or she who laughs......lasts.

16. Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints.

17. Look for opportunities...not guarantees.

18. Life is what's coming....not what was.

19. Success is getting up one more time.

20. Now is the most interesting time of all.

21. When things go wrong.....don't go with them.

22. Turn OFF the news channel

23.  Per Carol: And there is a lesson to be learned from each encounter.  It is up to you to figure out what the lesson is.  If you don't learn it, it will re-appear in another form.

23.  Joddie shares: When your ship comes in.... make sure you are willing to unload it ~ we all want the goods without the work!

24.  Todd opines: if you have someone negative in your life bringing you down, just walk away from them. Nothing can help change a negative attitude more than hanging around a positive person

25.  And Elizabeth announces: When it rains on your parade, parade in the rain. I never let anything put me out of commission. :)

26.  Sheldon has two: "Go after your dreams with a passion" "If you believe you can do it, or believe you cant .... you're right" !

NOW, I have more to add to my great list of reminders! Thanks guys and gals!
