Give Thanks
Next on my Meme Series which I started yesterday, I chose this one because I can do Six Things as you are supposed to List 5 to 10 things that you do almost everyday that help you to be successful.

  • “I greet this day with love in my heart.”  This is my first thought as soon as I wake up, EVERY MORNING, even before I open my eyes.  Thinking this calms me, makes me smile and just have a relaxed, optimistic outlook when I set out to do my day.  Its taken from a book by Og Mandino, my first Inspiration Author.  The whole quote will explain why I do this. 

“I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force… my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.”
  -Og Mandino

  •  Active Visualization.  I do this just before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up (after my “greeting” above).  My ideal self-image, my successful career, happy family life, trips, whatever I want to effect into my life— I already have.
  • Read.  A LOT.  Self-help books, romances, mystery, favorite authors, blogs.  This way, I improve my vocabulary, my English proficiency and gain just a little more knowlege everyday.
  • Say “I Love You” to Mary, at least ten times in the course of the day.  Give and get as many hugs.
  • Say “I Love You” to Jack, at least once a day.   
  • Give thanks to the Almighty for all the abundance in the world!
