Timeless Words of Wisdom
In my early days of being a young man my Dad and Mom encouraged me to do at least one good deed for someone else each and every day that I can.
Additionally, one of my life's commitments is to make my Dad and Mom proud of me in whatever I do in my life, even though they have now passed I know striving to make them proud of me always means I will do what is best for myself and others too.
Basketball Legend Magic Jackson has shared with us his statement about teamwork. I like to change the word "can" to the word "will" - Why?
What I "will" do is much more important than simply what I "can" do.
I treasure most the relationships I do my best to have with others. While relationships can be most complex, I simplify my focus with these values:
☼ Find True Happiness by Building Quality Relationships with Others
☼ Daily Show Love, Respect, and Consideration for All Others
☼ Be Quick In Forgiving Both Others and Myself
☼ Daily Take Complete Responsibility for Both My Actions and Non-Actions
☼ Always Be the Most Positive, Helpful and Enthusiastic Person I Know!
My plan is to ask myself daily this question: "What will I share with my teammates today for their encouragement, happiness, and benefit?”
This team thread that I hope everyone of you will share in too with their “2 cents worth” of encouragement will benefit us all. Maybe even help us in our treasury creation process.
Perhaps you have a quote, a thought, an idea, or even just a question to stimulate our positive thinking; please share – thank you so very much.
Here is mine for today:
"If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow." - Chinese Proverb
☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
"Smile every chance you get. Not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for all the good things you do have and all the problems you know you don’t have."
additionally important is this fact
"When you smile a lot when you are young, when you get older all your wrinkles will be in the right places."
"If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit; give it nothing which may tend to its increase." – Epictetus
"A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can’t get very far until you change it."
"In a world where you can be anything you want, BE YOURSELF."
"It’s important to make someone happy, and it’s important to start with yourself."
"Don’t worry too much about people who don’t worry about you."
One candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
Then both candles can warm each other up too.
Could this be Happy Treasury team's theme song?
