Quotations for Positive Attitudes
Quotations| No Comments »Quotations for Positive Attitudes
You are today where your thoughts have brought you?
You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
—James Allen
A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.
—Patricia Neal
Act as if what you do makes a difference.
It does.
—William James, 1842-1910, Psychologist, Professor and Author
Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
—Andre Maurois, 1885-1967, Writer
No matter how small and unimportant what we are doing may seem, if we do it well, it may soon become the step that will lead us to better things.
—Channing Pollock, Actor, Writer and Composer
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
—Harold S. Kushner, Rabbi, Author of When Bad Things Happen To Good People
Be the change you want to see in the world.
—Mahatma Gandhi
Life is our greatest possession and love its greatest affirmation.
—Leo Buscaglia
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second. Give your dreams all you’ve got and you’ll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
—William James, 1842-1910, Psychologist, Professor and Author
There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.
—Clare Boothe Luce, 1902-1987, American Diplomat and Writer
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
—Norman Vincent Peale
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
—Barbara DeAngelis, Author
One of the very first things I figured out about life…is that it’s better to be a hopeful person than a cynical, grumpy one, because you have to live in the same world either way, and if you’re hopeful, you have more fun.
—Barbara Kingsolver
Chargers Fans on The Price is Right TV Game Show – Feb. 26

TV Game Show – February 26
.jpg)
On January 13th a bus load of 43 women (and 2 men) drove from San Diego to Studio City, California for two morning tapings of the Dr. Phil Show at Paramount Studios, then over to CBS for the afternoon taping of The Price is Right at CBS Studios. Arrangements were made by Michele Dixon, The Organizing Doctor, professional organizer.
Being proud San Diego Chargers football fans, and having just won the Division Championship… and playing the Steelers in the Playoffs, it was unanimously decided our TV Game show matching “Team Shirts” would be the CHARGERS shirts.
Audience members are "interviewed" before the show by staff, for about 15-30-seconds. Since we had a busload, chances were good that one person would be “selected” to be on the show as a Contestant.
It’s so LOUD in the 350-person studio you can’t hear anything…so the stage crew hold up a sign with the next Contestant’s name on it at the time it’s announced!
Ester Berry was called as the FIRST Contestant called. Wearing her blue Chargers shirt, she did great at the bidding stand and went up on stage, and even had a chance to spin the wheel with show emcee Drew Carey.
The show went along fine… changing of the prize sets, commercial breaks, etc., then the final Contestant was called… Sheryl Roush… seated on the TOP row in the very back! Wearing her gold Chargers shirt, she was seated in the Steelers fan section… but assertively held her own! (after all.. she proudly trains the Charger Girl cheerleaders in their speaking and interviewing skills!)
The Charger Fans show airs on Thursday, February 26th, on CBS (Channel 8, 10:00-10:30am Pacific).
Ester Berry is a Senior Recruiter of The Wellspring Group, Inc. She specializes in advanced technology searches across multiple industries for both Fortune 500 and mid-sized business sectors with the goal of matching the right people with the right job opportunities.

by Sheryl Roush
17 STEPS TO FOCUSED GOAL-SETTING
1. Keep your self-talk positive, proactive and affirming.
2. Make sure the goal you are working for is something you really want,
not just something that sounds good.
3. Write your goal in first-person “I am” or “I have” as already
having achieved it.
4. Add feelings to your goal statement. (“I am excited about…”)
5. Ensure your goals are not in contradiction to any of your other goals.
6. Write your goal out in specific detail
(numbers, target date, locations, size, pounds dropped, dollar amount).
7. Make your goal high enough, and know that you are deserving of it.
8. Treasure Map your goal with inspiring visual images in front of you.
9. Read your goal OUT LOUD each morning when you wake up,
visualizing/feeling the completed goal (including smells, sights,
sounds, feelings, tastes).
10. Read your goal OUT LOUD each evening right before you go to bed,
visualizing/feeling the completed goal (including smells, sights, sounds,
feelings, tastes).
11. Create a target (realistic) timeline for the goal, with a step-by-step plan.
12. Set incremental benchmarks and highlight them on your calendar.
13. Surround yourself with supportive, positive goal-setting people.
14. Re-View, Re-Evaluate and Re-Write Regularly (every 3-6 months).
15. Look for unexpected opportunities, unusual happenings that could
relate to your goals, as these may be incredible and perfect opportunities
in disguise.
16. Reward yourself for taking incremental steps toward achieving
your goal.
17. Plan a celebration date of completion, announcing the party date
to your friends.
GOAL-FOCUS
Every time you make a decision during the day, ask yourself:
• "Does this take me closer to–or further from–my goal?"
• “Is this a distraction from–or attraction to–my goal?”
• “What is the NEXT most important thing to do?”
• “Is this my highest priority right now?”
My Goal: “I am/have_______________________________________________________________."

Heart of a Mother, Heart of a Woman, New Year's, Tips & Trivia| 1 Comment »39 Tips for an Exceptional, Superb & Powerful Life!
1.) Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

3.) Buy a Tivo (DVR), tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
4.) When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, ‘My purpose is to________ today. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

12.) Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
13.) Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
14.) Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like Algebra class …….but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

22.) Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
23.) Go on and burn those ‘special’ scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good China and wear your fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion. Everyday is special.
24.) No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25.) Frame every so-called disaster with these words: ‘In five years, will this matter?’
26.) Forgive everyone for everything.

31.) Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
32.) Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. God provides, remember?!
33.) The best is yet to come. (in Heaven)
34.) No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
35.) Do the right thing!
36.) Call your family often.
37.) Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: ‘I am thankful for __________.’
Today I accomplished _________.
38.) Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
39.) Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don’t want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
