Most people are doing the best they know how in the
moment. Turn your feelings into a positive statement,
and bring a smile to those around you.
Pause to think... when you feel a tinge of guilt about
your feelings. If you could feel differently, you would do so. Your feelings are real, and they matter.
Pause to think... when you feel anxious. Go to a
peaceful place in your mind. Imagine yourself in joyous
harmony with all of nature. See the images, feel the
breezes, and hear the sounds you create. Breathe and
express gratitude for all of life.
Pause to think... when you feel anger rise up within
you. Remind yourself that you cannot afford an attitude
that would steal your precious life energy. Breathe,
release the negative feeling, and reclaim the positive
energy that is your true spirit.
Pause to think... when the unjust actions of others
enter your mind. Notice that they are feelings, and
that you can choose to release them. Choose not to be a
victim, but set an example by living a life of joy and
abundance.
Pause to think... when you experience failure. It is a
learning tool and a blessing that brings wisdom. Choose
to keep moving forward with gratitude. Apply your new
knowledge to the creation of value.

experienced the creative miracle of your own thoughts.
It is desire, faith, and gratitude that have brought
you positive accomplishments. Know that you can succeed
again along future pathways.
