Date: February 04 Volume 5 Issue

Groan, she isn’t going to talk about gushy love is she? Well yes…and no. I am not going to talk about love but about loving the life you are living. Embrace your life, accept your life and change what isn’t working. Often the things aren’t working are your perceptions, your limiting beliefs and your fears. Are you satisfied at work? What isn’t satisfying? Is the office dull or unfriendly? Do you lack connections? Then take on the responsibility to change it. Your role in your life is to be the host of your life. To make sure that everything that you can control is just right. If you don’t like where the sofa is placed you change it. If you don’t like how your thoughts are going change them.

Pegine’s Thought of the Month:

“Listen to what you say to yourself. Make sure that you are raving about yourself. Tell yourself good, positive messages. If you don’t …who will? And even if they do tell you good things do you listen? When you hear good things from yourself you’ll hear good things from others.”
Pegine Echevarria, MSW

Quotes of the Month:

Don't forget to love yourself.
Soren Kierkegaard
Love is the power behind courage. ...Knowing yourself brings about courage. ...Courage includes loving yourself when you are afraid. It takes courage to accept yourself when you do not fulfill the expectations of others and they reject you. Courage is loving yourself as you face your fears. Then, you will find that your fears disappear in the face of truth. ...Courage...derives its power from your commitment to love your true self regardless of any conditions in which you find yourself.
Michael J. Tamura - Spiritual Healer

Try-its:

Are you rushing, running, flying from here and there, while taking the kids to and fro? STOP

Are you presenting, planning, selling, buying, convincing, hiring, firing and thinking?
STOP

Talking, playing, socializing, communicating, listening and relating?
STOP

S – Separate yourself from everyone and everything – be alone.
T – Take the time to list the things you appreciate about yourself.
O – Surround yourself in Opulence and sumptuousness for one hour. Get a massage, soak in a bubble bath (yes, you guys too!) Don’t go to buy but do go to an upscale store and touch the materials, smell the good leather. Use your five senses to fill yourself with the feel, smell, taste, sound and sights of opulence. Your senses will memorize what they experienced and you will be able to recall what you ‘sensed’ motivating you to go to a new level.
P – Plan your life. Take the time to evaluate where you are, where you are going and how you’ll get there.

You are the only one who can STOP your life. You are in control of your life but often life seems to take control of you. The kids will be fine if they stay over their friends’ house. You business will survive a one hour reprieve. Your career will not suffer if you take an hour to evaluate. And you will gain the following benefits: clarity, a relaxed outlook, peace, focus, strength to keep on keeping on and an appreciation for your life. STOP and take control.

Kick-butt actions:

I received this from a friend, who said another friend sent it to them, who said another friend sent it to them, and so on (I had to open 15 different emails to get to the story). I don’t know who the original writer was, I wish I did. Once again, it is your choice. As my friend Jeff Keller, founder of the site www.AttitudeisEverything.com, says “attitude is everything.”

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby
of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.

"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room ..... just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged...

it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it ..

"It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.

I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life.

Old age is like a bank account ... you withdraw from what you've put in .. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.


Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
