Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin
When he smiled, I realised I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile and then I reaslised its worth.
A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected
Lets start and an epidemic quick and get the world infected!!!
Here is a thought to ponder.
“It’s not what you eat but what you digest that makes you healthy. It’s not what you earn but what you invest that makes you wealthy. And it’s not what you learn but what you remember that makes you wise”
212°: The Extra Degree
If you’re not familiar, here’s the idea:
At 211 degrees…water is hot.
At 212 degrees…it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.
And, it’s that one extra degree that…
Makes all the difference.
So many times, in business and in life, it’s that one extra degree of effort that separates the good from the great.
What I love about the 212° idea is that you can use it to fit your own needs. It may be 212° service that you’d like to reinforce, or 212° attitude, leadership, or quality. Or maybe, you’ll choose to build your entire culture around the 212° concept…to differentiate you from your competition.
The real beauty of 212° is the simplicity of the idea. Once explained…everybody gets it. And once you get it…it’s hard to forget!
If someone were to ask me to pick one word to best describe any success I’ve had in my life….
I wouldn’t hesitate; the word would be perseverance.
There have been a lot of potholes, detours and roadblocks along the way and there always will be. Below is a simple way to remember the keys to “Persistance”
Persist no matter what.
Endure discomfort.
Request help.
Steadfastly hold on to your beliefs and values.
Envision triumph.
Very consistently keep at it.
Embrace adversity as your teacher.
Refuse to give up.
Enjoy and celebrate every tiny bit of progress!
Dont forget the last bit celebrate your milestones along the way
Negative thoughts can and will destroy your life!
A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable, inadequate and will lead you to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.
If you have a pattern of negative thinking you’ll be in debt and end up in destructive or negative relationships.
If you want to succeed, enjoy happiness and live a life of abundance, and prosperity – you have to eliminate any consistent negative thinking, and negative beliefs.
You also have to replace those negative thoughts with positive thoughts that allow you to succeed and enjoy life. Read more…

In the Face of Adversity
By: Eric Mansfield
A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. Read more…
Never say to someone, “To be honest with you…”
It makes you sound dishonest. Instead say, “To be candid (or, to be frank) with you…”
“You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”
