Stay Positive...

So, as some of you know, I spend a lot of my time online at the Bills message boards. Well someone posted a list of tips for 2009 for better living. I am all about optimism and positive thinking so I 'd though I would share the list with everyone else.

1. Dream more while you are awake.

2. Make peace with your past so it wont spoil the present

3.Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about

4. However good OR bad a sitauation is, it will ALWAYS change.

5. Your job wont take care of you when you are sick. your friends and family will. Stay in touch.

6. No one is in charge of your happiness but you..

7. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out credit card.

8. Smile and laugh more

9. Realize life is a school. you are here to learn. Problems are simply a part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

10. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

11. Spend time with people over 70 and under 6.

12. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. when you do, smile. It is the best antidepressent.

13. Clear clutter from your house, desk, and car. let new energy flow into your life.

14. What other people think of you is none of your business.

15. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

16. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

17. Frame so called disasters with these words: "in 5 years, will this matter?"

18. Life isnt fair, but it is still good.

19. Forgive everyone for everything. Including yourself.

20. Envy is a waste of time, you have everything you NEED.

Those are the original 20 that were posted. Some people added some on but those are all good. I will try to incorporate these tips every day in my life.

In other news:

- The Oilers play the Sabres tonight. Go Oilers!!! LOL.
- I skipped another class today, but it was in good faith. I had to get some things straightened out with Admissions and get my books. But, because ECC Admissions is so slow, I couldn't get my books.
- Tomorrow, I plan on talking about some new music albums I am looking forward to in 2009. The youtube video features one of the band's I will be talking about tomorrow.

Stay Tuned.
