Quiet Meditations

When I see someone sitting in a doctor or dentist waiting room I wonder if they are dreading the visit or if they are waiting for and expecting good news. Whaever the reason, it's good to take the time waiting, to relax and think about the good things in your situation. Some of the things you are blessed with are the splendid facilities, good doctors, the medications available, the fine instruments and equipment the doctors have at their disposal. If you have to be admited to a hospital, there are excellent hospitals.
Wherever you are,even in a doctor's office, it is always good to relax and enjoy a few minutes of quiet meditation. I hope reading this will make your quiet moments more profitable. Keep smiling. Everyone enjoys being with a happy person.
Have you ever had your day suddenly turn sunshiny because of a cheerful word? Have you ever wondered if this could be the same world? Wondered because someone had been unexpectly kind to you? You can make today the same for somebody. It is only a matter of a little imagination, a little effort. Think now, what can I do today to make someone happy? Old persons, children, folks in the office, clerks in a store or a stranger?

How do people see you?

May we never let the things we can't have,or don't have or shouln't have,spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness let us not forget it, for one of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have. --Richard L. Evans

Many pople looked at Hoover, Grant and Lincoln and decided they were losers. Some other people looked at the same three men and said, "Here is a winner", and gave them a chance to make good.

When people look at you, what do they see? Do they see a person who looks as if they have lost their last friend? Do they see a person who can't look them in the eye because they don't think they are good enough? Do they see a person who has given up and is ready to throw n the towel? Do they look like a loser?

I guess the better question to ask would br. Do ou feel like a loser? If yu do, you have already lost! To be a winner you must feel and at like one. Set yourself a goal and do what you must to meet that goal!

This doesn't mean to run over people, step on them or hurt them in ay way. It doesn't mean, lie cheat steal or con people. If you do any of these things you cannot win and be successful. You'll just become a criminal!

Winston Churchill said in a speech to his country during World War Two, "Never give in,never give in, never,never, never in nothing, great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force, never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

MAKE SURE YOUR GOALS ARE JUST-BEYOND-YOUR-REACH KINDS OF GOALS THAT CAN BE FULFILLED ON A DAILY BASIS-NOT IMPOSSIBLE ONES!
