Take a 10-30 minute "Thank you" walk every day. While you walk practice gratitude. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement: My purpose is to___________ today.
Live with the 3 E's. Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.
Read more books than you did in 2007.
Make time to practice prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
Do the "one thing" you have always wanted to do.
Dream more while you are awake.
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants.
Mentor someone and be mentored by someone.
Engage in daily random acts of kindness.
Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing positive energy into your life.
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.
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.
Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.
Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished____________.
Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.
Konrad Hermann Josef Adenauer
(1876 – 1967)
Pau Casals i Defilló (1876 – 1973)
Do what you feel in your heart to be right-
for you'll be criticized anyway.
You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you face the sun,
the shadows always fall behind you.
Helen Keller
the best proverb of all is that which says:
"Leave no stone unturned."
Edward Bulwer Lytton
"The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection,
and not a fountain; to show them we love them
not when we feel like it, but when they do."
-Nan Fairbrother
Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

"Great things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things brought together."
Vincent Van Gogh
"Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied." -- Pearl S. Buck
One never knows what each day is going to bring. 
Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you
something to do, but it gets you nowhere.
~Glenn Turner
"Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole." Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."
–Dale Carnegie
"Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do."
Johann von Goethe
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?
"It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes
and make amends for them.
To make a mistake is only an error in judgment,
but to adhere to it when it is discovered
shows infirmity of character."
-- Dale Turner

The only force that can overcome an idea and a faith is another and better idea and faith, positively and fearlessly upheld. *Dorothy Thompson*
“Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.”

'The man {or woman} of character, sensitive to the meaning of what he {or she} is doing, will know how to discover the ethical paths in the maze of possible behavior.'
A great sentiment. Pity one of my former bosses couldn't quite get it and gave us a statistical analysis on how significant mistakes are.
I have to admit to a small smile when I remember when HIS work was being reviewed and he made a HUGE error which we all found out about!
But hey, I've moved on from there now and left all that angst behind. 
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down,
but the staying down."
-- Mary Pickford
"Friends are like windows through which you see out into the world and back into yourself... If you don't have friends you see much less
than you otherwise might."
