Try to be the
Rainbow in someone else's Cloud. Maya Angelou Our destiny is not written for us,
it is written by us. Barak Obama We tend to judge others by their behaviour,
and ourselves by our intentions. Author Unknown 'Divorce Magazine' reported on a study conducted by two professors at Emory University in Atlanta. According to data gathered from a pool of 3000 subjects,
"….the more a couple spends on the engagement and wedding, the shorter their marriage will be." More information at: http://www.divorcemag.com/c/s3/?expensive-engagement-ring-increases-odds Be careful with your words.
Once they are said, the can only be forgiven, not forgotten. Unknown Raise your words, not your voice.
It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder. Rumi Life is 10% what happens to you,
and 90% how you react to it. Charles R. Swindall Do not let what you cannot do
interfere with what you can do. John Wooden We're three weeks into the new year. Enough time for some us to, perhaps, begin to wonder whether we've bitten off more than we can chew with our good intentions. Often it goes a little something like this:
Going to the gym every day? Every other day is good enough. Eating more vegetables? They're really expensive this time of year, I'll do that in spring. Cutting down on caffeine? Just as soon as this stressful project is over at work. What often defeats us is the sheer scope of our ambition. We set a large goal with a large time frame, and become discouraged by the size of the one relative to the other. How about trying the other way around? Instead of a large goal (e.g. lose thirty pounds, become entirely vegetarian, cut caffeine intake by three quarters), try forming Microresolutions. Rather than looking at where you want to be in a year's time, form a modest goal to be accomplished in a week's time. When that is achieved, and another small step to the first one, or form a different reasonable goal for the following week. The confidence gained in achieving these small goals quickly will encourage to go on, with continuous small successes building on each other. All of us have a resolution or two given up on in the past. It can't hurt to try another method to get to the desired end. |
