10 Things To Keep In Mind For The New Year

In the spirit of a new year I wanted to share ten points to bear in mind as you progress through the year.  These are basic principles that I have practiced and have been a blessing in my life.

Be Grateful

Thankfulness breeds happiness and contentment.  Gratefulness infuses every moment with meaning and value

Be Generous

Give….no matter how little you think you have, there is always someone else that has a lot less.  Giving is not just about money; a smile, a warm hug, a gentle cortesy.  These don’t cost any money but have the potential to be priceless.

Be Genuine

It is not enough just to be honest.  Genuine is being true to yourself and others.

Be Positive

Every party has pooper, but don’t let that pooper be you.  Positive thoughts and actions bring results.  Negativism is defeatism.

Be Calm

Stay calm, cool and collected in all situations.  We spend 90% of the time worrying and stressing about things that only happen 10% of the time.  Relax even the 10% works out at the end any way. 

Be Proactive

Don’t wait around for things to happen.  Go make your mark. Don’t settle do something great.

Be Healthy

With so much information about nutrition and health, you are what you eat has become more meaningful.  Take control of your health.  Eat right and exercise.  Good health reduces stress and helps you sleep soundly at night.

Be Humble

Keep your feet firmly on the ground but keep reaching for the stars.  The proud have a rough road ahead of them.

Travel

Things come and go, but memories last forever.  If you can’t go overseas, go across town or another nearby state.

Be Adaptable

Situations may change and things may not be just right. So learn to adapt. Adapting is the art of accomplishing your goals regardless of circumstance.

I’ve only listed ten and obviously there are probably a million other thoughts that I could add.  But nonetheless, these are pretty broad and inclusive.  Make 2015 your best year ever.  Remember there are two ways to go through life: sit around and wait for life to happen to you or you can go and make life what you want it to be.

Here is wishing you and your loved ones a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!!
