Live with Joy

Find joy in doing nothing and you can find it in everything.
Experience happiness without a
reason and you can create happiness for any
reason. Realize that happiness is not the result
of good things, but is indeed the cause of good
things. There is nothing you need in order to
be happy other than the choice to be.

Imagine living this day filled with joy, happiness
and positive purpose. Imagine it, then take one
more step and actually do it.

Let go of any concern you may have for what
does or does not come your way. Focus instead
on the good and valuable things that you can give,
create, inspire and choose to experience.

Don't allow the world to pull you down with its negativity.
Choose to transform the world around
you with your own positive outlook.

Real joy is always a choice you can make. Live
with joy, let happiness flow out from you, and
life becomes more radiant with each passing
moment.

Habit

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,
and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and
after a few lessons
I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the
precision of a machine.
Plus, the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin;
it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will
put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?

I am a HABIT!

Growth

Sooner or later you'll encounter a crisis in your life,
And how you meet it will determine your future happiness
and success. Since the beginning of time, everyone has
been called upon to meet such a crisis.

Close scrutiny will show you that most "crisis situations"
are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.
Indeed, most people make changes in their life
Out of either "inspiration" or "desperation."

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.
Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into
something of value.

A precious stone cannot be polished without friction,
nor humanity perfected without trials.
