Another way is to get ok with it all. &lt;br /&gt;Stress becomes more stressful the more you fight against it. Keep in mind, though, that you don't have to fight it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can actually choose to welcome and accept whatever is going on. As soon as you do, you put yourself in a position of power and control. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By accepting the stressful situation instead of running away or fighting, you give yourself more positive options. You become able to make use of whatever is going on and to direct it toward a worthwhile purpose. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accepting the presence of a difficult situation does not mean that you're in favor of it having it continue. It means that you're ready to clearly see and deal with reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of making the stress worse by fighting it, step calmly and confidently forward to make the best of it. Choose not to let it get to you, and you'll be able to accomplish so very much more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red Wagon &lt;br /&gt;It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco. Pastor Mike was looking at the nativity scene outside when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from the figures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately, Pastor Mike turned towards the church to call the police. But as he was about to do so, he saw little Jimmy with a red wagon, and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant, Jesus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Mike walked up to Jimmy and said, "Well, Jimmy, where did you get the little infant?"Jimmy replied, "I got him from the church." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And why did you take him?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a sheepish smile, Jimmy said, "Well, about a week before Christmas I prayed to little Lord Jesus. I told him if he would bring me a red wagon for Christmas, I would give him a ride around the block in it."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-8174994237780305784?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/8174994237780305784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=8174994237780305784' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/8174994237780305784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/8174994237780305784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2008/01/positive-thought-for-day_11.html' title='Positive Thought for the Day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-8497071789142208718</id><published>2008-01-10T01:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-10T01:10:36.145-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the Day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

And there is also much value in what you do not know. &lt;br /&gt;For in the unknown, there are possibilities that have no restrictions. When contemplating the unknown, your imagination has no limits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the unknown can be frightening, it can also be magnificently beautiful and inspiring. You can put into it whatever you wish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the realm of things you do not know, there is plenty of room for the joy of discovery and the enlightenment of learning. There is ample space to dream, to envision, and to grow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To act as if you already know everything is to deny yourself all the good things that are yet to be imagined and discovered. Mystery gives life a depth and richness that you would not want to be without. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As each moment passes, make good use of all the things you know.

All the seemingly separate aspects of life are tightly intertwined. &lt;br /&gt;When setting priorities and making choices, consider the whole of life. Attempting to play off one thing against another will never work for very long. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you shortchange one part of your life, other things suffer. When you work to add value somewhere in your world, that value is reflected in other places too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, the good, sincere, authentic things you do will exhibit their influence throughout your world. There's a way to live through each experience that will enhance and improve all the other experiences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of your decisions not as discreet events, but rather as interrelated expressions of who you truly are. Realize that each action has an influence that spreads far beyond its original context. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live as though the universe is connected to itself in ways that you cannot begin to imagine. Know that what you do is not just for here and now, that it contributes everywhere and always to the whole of life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stupid &lt;br /&gt;A substitute teacher was trying to make use of her psychology background.

Though those particular circumstances have long passed, the joy from them is still with you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That joy continues to live within you. It is a part of who you are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because you are who you are, joy is able to experience itself again and again. Beauty is able to know how wonderfully beautiful it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through your life, love is able to feel its presence. Truth is able to know that it is so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are life itself. And in this moment, the magnificent possibilities beckon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Flight Attendant &lt;br /&gt;An airline captain was breaking in a new flight attendant. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captian showed the flight attendant the best places for airline personnel to eat, shop, and stay overnight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new flight attendant was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flight attendant replied, "There are only three doors in here." She sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it and says "Do Not Disturb!'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ice Fishing &lt;br /&gt;An old man walked out onto a frozen lake on a bitter cold winter day. He drilled a hole in the ice, sat on his bucket, put his fishing line in the water and eagerly waited for a fish to bite. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was there for almost five hours without even a nibble when a young boy walked out, drilled a hole in the ice and sat on his bucket not far from the old man. It only took about one minute and BAM! A huge walleye bit his hook and the boy pulled in the fish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old man couldn't believe it and figured it was just luck. Yet, the boy put his fish line in again and within just two minutes he pulled in another huge walleye! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This went on and on until finally the old man couldn't stand it any more. He hadn't caught a fish all day. He went to the boy and said, "Boy, I've been here nearly all day without even a nibble. You have been here only a few minutes and have caught TEN huge fish! How do you do it?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boy said, "Oo af o rep ra rums rm." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What," asked the old man? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again the boy said, "Oo af o rep ra rums rm.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freezing and impatient the old man yelled "Look, I can't understand a word you are saying." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the boy took off his gloves, spit a clump of stuff into his hands and said, "You have to keep the worms warm!!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-1645373370803425737?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/1645373370803425737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=1645373370803425737' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/1645373370803425737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/1645373370803425737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2008/01/positive-thought-for-day_06.html' title='Positive Thought for the Day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-257247459978872856</id><published>2008-01-05T00:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-05T00:54:07.663-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the Day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Drop your shallow pretenses, and you will see. &lt;br /&gt;The power and purpose you seek, are with you even now. Let go of those doubts that have become so comfortable, and you will know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop seeking to classify and to judge every moment, and you'll start seeing each moment's unique treasure. Let life come to you with whatever it brings, and you'll find it bringing more value than you could ever desire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those dreams that fill you with joy are no mere illusions. They point to who you truly are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those dreams are as real as you allow them to be. Allow them to live at the front of your awareness today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now the richness of life is all around you.

She was riding with another woman friend in a rickshaw-like carriage, when they were attacked by a man on the street. In the end, the attacker only succeeded in frightening the women, but the Buddhist woman was quite upset by the event and told her teacher so. She asked him what she should have done - what would have been the appropriate, Buddhist response. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teacher said very simply, "You should have very mindfully and with great compassion whacked the attacker over the head with your umbrella."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kiddie Quickies &lt;br /&gt;My friend asked our grandson when he would turn 6.

When life&lt;br /&gt;becomes altogether unbearable, we then start the&lt;br /&gt;devolution.

Your condition is stable, and there's no reason to keep you here any longer. Now that doesn't mean you're well. Far from it. You need an indefinite period of convalescence as well as checkups at regular intervals. But you don't need to be in the hospital any longer. You can continue with bed rest and medication at home."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doctor went on to outline his at-home program of rest, medication, and regular office visits; his diet; social activities (none); even his sex life (also none). Lester was surprised, but determined to follow doctor's orders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How long will this go on, Doc?" he asked. "How long do I have to take it easy like this? I realize you can't tell me exactly, but can you give me some idea?"  He watched the doctor carefully as he waited for an answer. It seemed like a long time before Dr. Schultz spoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How old are you, son?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That wasn't what he expected. He wondered what was coming next. There was something in the doctor's manner he didn't like. "Forty-two," he answered and waited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Schultz looked out the window, his face impassive as he sat lost in thought.  After a long moment, during which neither man moved, the doctor nodded his head once, a sharp decisive movement which frightened Lester, and spoke abruptly and with finality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"From now on, I'm afraid."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What do you mean, from now on?" A very sick feeling was rising from his gut, up into his stomach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I mean that you cannot expect to live a normal life from here on." He went on quickly when he saw Lester's shocked look. "You've just had a very serious coronary; you're lucky to be alive at all. Anyone else would have been dead by now with the severity of this attack."  The doctor paused, then cleared his throat, "I realize how difficult it must be for you to hear this, but I assure you it isn't pleasant for me either."  He got up abruptly and walked to the window, his back to Lester. "I wish there were something else I could say; I wish I could tell you that in a few months you'd be back to normal and could pick up your life where you left off," he paused, turning to face Lester quietly, "but I can't. In all conscience, I can't tell you that And I'm sorry."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lester was angry now. "You're sorry? Well, so am I! You saved my life ... for what? So that I can be an invalid for the rest of it? What the hell kind of life are you giving me back anyway?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once started, he couldn't stop. He raved on and on. All his frustration, rage and anger poured out until the sick feeling in the pit of his stomach finally rose to his throat and he began to cough and choke. The doctor held a basin for him while he gagged and heaved and finally fell back exhausted onto the pillows, his hand shaking as he reached up to wipe his mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doctor was shaking too as he carried the soiled basin to the bathroom. He carefully placed it on the floor, then hunched over the sink, one hand on each side of it supporting his weight, his forehead touching the cold mirror of the medicine chest on the wall. In spite of all his years of practice, these situations still affected him. He thought of home and wished he were there now, his day over, relaxing before dinner with a drink or two. With a deep sigh, he pulled himself erect and walked back into the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'll sign the discharge papers today. but you can stay on if you want," he said quietly "If you need more time to make your arrangements, I'll tell the nurse it's okay." He didn't know what else to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lester answered, "No, that's all right, I'll leave today, this afternoon. There doesn't seem to be any point in prolonging it"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All right, whatever you decide is all right. But remember that you can change your mind and stay a bit longer if you want." He stood in silence for a moment, while he closely examined Lester's ashen face. "Please be sure to take it easy when you get home. I can't overemphasize the importance of that. You shouldn't climb any stairs at all. And do you have shoes without laces; you know, loafers?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Loafers? No, why?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You might want to have someone buy you a pair. It's better if you don't have to bend over to tie your shoes. It puts an additional strain on your heart when you get into that position."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea struck Lester as ridiculous but all he said was "Okay, whatever you say." He'd always hated loafers but it didn't matter now. Then as he watched the doctor walk toward the door, a question occurred to him. "Doc," he asked, "I'm not going to die, am I? I mean, I might have to kind of take it easy from here on, but I'm not going to die, right?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Schultz stopped. "I don't know," he answered, then turned to face Lester. "I wish I could give you a positive answer, but I can't. The truth is that I simply don't know. You've had a massive heart attack and you could live for another year or two, or you could go tomorrow. I just don't know."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thanks for being honest with me, Doc. I'll be seeing you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/release/e.asp?e=10&amp;id=2004&amp;p=theanswer/"&gt;Read On Lester Goes Home...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-6160323501317254462?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/6160323501317254462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=6160323501317254462' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6160323501317254462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6160323501317254462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2008/01/lesters-real-life-story.html' title='Lester&apos;s Real Life Story'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-628296413262040946</id><published>2008-01-03T23:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-03T23:44:46.655-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the Day</title><content type='html'>Taken From “Acts of Faith” by Iyanla Vanzant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your crown has been bought and paid for.

So I will be posting Postivities that you can repeat daily&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positivity&lt;br /&gt;I feel empowered to move in the direction of my goals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All our dreams can come true -- if we have the courage to pursue them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Walt Disney&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is beautiful is not always good, but what is good is always beautiful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Unknown &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The Daily Motivator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are free &lt;br /&gt;You are free to follow the demands of your ego. You are also free to let go of those demands. &lt;br /&gt;You are free to imagine and impose all sorts of limitations upon your life, your actions and who you can be. You are also free to move beyond every one of those limitations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are free to think positive, empowering thoughts even when faced with situations that could be considered hopeless. You are free to act in such a way that will bring value and meaning to your life and your world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are free to take difficult problems and turn them into spectacular opportunities. You are free to take ordinary moments and turn them into special treasures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are free to take whatever may come your way, and direct it toward positive purpose. You are free to fail a thousand times, and then to get back up and achieve stunning success. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are free to find the beauty and value in all that you experience. Remember always that you are free, to live, to love, and to bring the very best possibilities brilliantly to life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marriage Math &lt;br /&gt;I just read that last year 4,153,237 people got married.

So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Unknown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine how different our world would be if each of us chose to live our lives as if everything is a miracle. The people, the circumstances,the surroundings...Everything. Just imagine how difficult unhappiness for any of us would be if we were constantly aware of being swaddled in miracles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you always be aware of the miracles around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May your day be filled with all things good,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Kate Nowak&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a quote from the book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In my life I have learned that at precisely those times when life seems to get worse that you may actually be getting ready to make a leap. When you feel like you're going nowhere-stagnating, even slipping backward, what you are actually doing is backing up to get a running start."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positivity&lt;br /&gt;I am doing my best as I am focused on success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Author Unknown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The Daily Motivator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give a little kindness&lt;br /&gt;A negative attitude can be contagious. Fortunately, so can a positive attitude. One of the biggest challenges of staying positively focused can come from the negative people who cross your path. Yet instead of letting them get you down, you can choose to lift them up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone is rude to you, the most powerful response is not to reply with your own rudeness. After all, what would that accomplish?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your best choice in such a situation is to respond with courtesy, kindness, consideration and understanding. Though it may seem strange and unnatural at first, it can have a profoundly positive impact on the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people, when given the chance, will be glad for you to rescue them from their own negative momentum. When you come across someone who is clearly in a bad mood, you have the opportunity to be the best part of that person's day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seize that opportunity and make the most of it. When you give a little kindness, it can make a big, big difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More Actual Medical Chart Notes&lt;br /&gt;- Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- On the second day, the knee was better, and then on the third day it disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The patient is tearful and crying constantly.

You, are no exception. Let me ask you something. Do you have a highly compelling vision of your "one year from now?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then why not create one today? Take the time to think about where you want to be, one year from "now." Find a quiet place and write down your vision. Don't limit yourself and squash anything that tries to attack your dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quickest route from conception to manifestation of your "one year from now," is the route where you take the time to make crystal-clear, detailed, and exciting plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, is how you do that. Write down a clear, vivid description of exactly how your life looks like this time next year. Include the names of the people, financial institutions, health clubs, the major milestones and the specific actions that you will take to reach your goals. When you do, you'll not only give your life new meaning, you'll be spurred forward by the rewards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Copyright 2006 - 2008 by &lt;a href="http://franbriggs.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://franbriggs.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-130007336633152642?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/130007336633152642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=130007336633152642' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/130007336633152642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/130007336633152642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2008/01/one-year-from-now.html' title='One Year From Now'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-4712483496220670143</id><published>2008-01-03T00:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-03T00:34:37.953-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Let It Be You - Jim Rohn</title><content type='html'>Each and every day, there are people all around the country and world who are living their dreams. Millionaires are made every day. Families are experiencing tremendous relationships. People are becoming more and more healthy. Life-long learners are growing intellectually and improving their chances for success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is that living the life of your dreams is possible. People prove that every day. Someone somewhere is going to get rich, get healthy and improve their life. My recommendation is this: Let it be you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever wanted to make more money? Have you ever looked at someone who has money and wished that it could be you? People think about getting wealthy all of the time, when only a small percentage actually does. But any of the masses could. Someone is going to start a business. Someone is going to make a great investment. Someone is going to begin the journey to great wealth. So why not let it be you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone is going to decide to improve their relationships. Someone is going to enjoy love with their family. Someone is going to schedule some meaningful time with their friends. So why not let it be you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone is going to go back to school to improve their life. Someone is going to become a life-long learner. Someone is going to set a goal to read a book or listen to a CD each week for the next year. So why not let it be you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone is going to look in the mirror and see that they need to lose a little weight and they will make the decision to become healthy. Someone will run their first marathon. Someone will join an aerobics class and improve their health. Why not let it be you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that by now you get the point: Everyday people are improving their lives. Whether you do or not doesn't matter to those who do. They are going to do it, regardless. It is simply a matter of a decision being made. Let that person be you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be asking, "Okay Jim, but how?" Well, let's cover the very simple actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first and most important is to make a commitment to work on yourself. Are you going to improve or stay the same? No matter what you have achieved, you are at a certain point right now. What you have achieved in the past is fine, but it doesn't make a difference for the future. The decision about what you will become is made each day and every day. Each day someone is making the decision to better him or herself. Let that person be you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second is to make a plan. Once you have decided to become better you will have to have a plan. It doesn't have to be a long, intricate plan. It can be simple. Save a dollar a day. Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. That is a simple plan with achievable goals. Someone is going to develop a plan that will take them into the future of their dreams. Let it be you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third is to begin to act. All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My encouragement to you is to stop looking at others who live the good life, wishing that you were as well, and instead begin to commit to your improvement, develop a plan and act on it. Someone is going to. Let it be you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Your Success,&lt;br /&gt;Jim Rohn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-4712483496220670143?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/4712483496220670143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=4712483496220670143' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/4712483496220670143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/4712483496220670143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2008/01/let-it-be-you-jim-rohn.html' title='Let It Be You - Jim Rohn'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-2512961271112548931</id><published>2008-01-02T00:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-02T00:28:14.459-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>4 Steps</title><content type='html'>I found 4 steps that I trully believe and I am following these steps everyday in my own pursuit of happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are:&lt;br /&gt;1. FORGIVE&lt;br /&gt;2. BELIEVE&lt;br /&gt;3. DO&lt;br /&gt;4. BE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. FORGIVE&lt;br /&gt;I truly believe that people won't achieve wealth, inspiration, success and happiness if they don't see themselves worthy of those things. Many people don't see that the problems in their life for not achieving what they want is not on other people's hand but it is on their hands. They don't realise that they have a problem with themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people haven't forgiven themselves and accepted themselves as they are. How many times we judge ourselves when things go wrong? How many times we punish ourselves when things don't happen the way we want them to? There is an old saying, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." We have to understand that we have to first truly love ourselves first by accepting ourselves as we are before we can truly love others. It doesn't mean that we accept our weaknesses but have the passion in our lives that we will strive to give the best of our lives. Anyway we live only once, why don't we give it the best shot that we got?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. BELIEVE&lt;br /&gt;After forgiving ourselves, then we need to start believing. Believe that God wants us to live an abundance life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to know, whether we believe it or not, that whatever we passionately think about or focus on all the time, it is not necessarily positive things, will be attracted in our lives. And this is where the problem lies, most of the times we focus on the things that we don't want to have or do and therefore instead of getting what we want to have or do, we get what we don't want. There is an old saying, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that we can change our focus by just merely shifting our thoughts. It does not mean that we have to control our minds. Wow, that would be an impossible things to do but to just merely change our thoughts when we realise that we are focusing on what we don't want instead of what we want. One of the best ways to do it, is by having a vision board or dream board. This is where we keep reminding ourselves to focus on things that we want to have or do. By doing this exercise, you will find yourselves focusing on the things that you want to have or do. I trully believes in the natural law of living, which is the golden rule of all, "What a man thinks about himself, so is he." All this is saying to us that our thoughts are very powerful, more than just a thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't stress enough about this, if you can get through whatever your beliefs are right now to see or at least accept that your lives have been affected by this law whether you realise it or not, whether you believe it or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final note about BELIEVE, while we are living in this world, why don't we trully believe all the good things that we want to have or do can be ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. DO&lt;br /&gt;After believing, we need to act by doing everything towards your beliefs. Do something about it and start seeing changes happening in your life. I believe that faith without action is nothing. So, we need to act in faith. Take that leap of faith and start walking towards your dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many people only dream about things they want but never find ways on how to achieve it and make a plan and do the plan. As it is so true that if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. You are guaranteed that you will never achieve your dreams if you never plan your way to your dreams. One more important ingredient in DO is persistence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you plan once and the plan fails and then you stop because of it, then you are once again planing to fail. Doing what you believe means keep on doing what you believe. It means never to stop doing it. That's it. If you fall, get up, do it again, fall, get up, do it again, until you succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is never easy but life is never hard on us. It will never be more than what we can bear. It is a promise you can keep as long as you don't quit. So, keep Doing what you believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. BE&lt;br /&gt;This is the final step. There will be one point in your life where suddenly life just opens up for you and everything falls into its' places where it belong and life starts to manifest all of the things you have dreamed about. At this stage, this is the harvesting time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note to remind you of when you achieve this step, do not stop here. Go back to step one and expand your life more and more. That is what I truly believe in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many stories I heard, either from a friend of mine or from a book that I read or even from my own experiences, follows these 4 steps. Our lives are in stages and every stage of our lives comprises of these 4 steps whether we believe it or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Unknown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something else should also be added to the steps above to get what you want in life practice an attitude of gratitude. Be grateful for everything you recieve big or small. Give thanks for everything you recieve. Give thanks for getting up in the morning, for being able to afford food. Give thanks for the air you can breathe. In other words be thankful or grateful for everything big or small. If you practice an attitude of gratitude for everything you will recieve the things you are wanting to have. Practice gratitude for the things you are working toward, the things that are on the way for you, as if they are already yours now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone has a happy, healthy, prosperous 2008.

Instead of just getting through this day, you can live it in such a way that it positively transforms your life and your world. There is an essential part of you that longs to make a difference. Underneath all the superficial comings and goings of daily life, there is a driving purpose that is your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever you may be doing on the outside, there is a way to express the purpose that lives on the inside. The more you discover, explore and stay connected to that purpose, the more rich and fulfilling your life will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can make real and lasting meaning out of the smallest, most seemingly insignificant moment. In this day there are countless chances to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember often the wondrous miracle that is your life. Let your thoughts, words and actions flow freely from the valuable, authentic person you are, and great things will surely happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a day to be filled with meaning and positive purpose.

If the people in your life seem too greedy and selfish, that's the time to be extra loving, giving and sincerely compassionate.

It would be much easier to let yourself be enslaved by the opinions of others, by your desire for comfort and familiarity, or by your quest for empty sensations. Yet freedom it well worth the effort. For it makes a whole world of wonderful things possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True freedom demands that you think for yourself and live with an authentic, meaningful purpose that is uniquely you. Those things require effort, commitment, creativity and persistence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If freedom is to endure in your life, it must be supported by your own responsibility. For without responsibility, freedom quickly decays into meaningless anarchy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom can be intimidating, because it constantly asks you to make decisions. Yet that is also what makes freedom so liberating, for it gives you the power to choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have within you the desire, the ability and the strength to live with freedom. Choose freedom, nourish and support it, and that freedom will bring real richness to your world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Advice From Kids&lt;br /&gt;"Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time." - Kyoyo, age 11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk." -Amir, age 9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts." -Kellie, age 11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you want a kitten, start out by asking for a horse." -Naomi, age 15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Felt-tip markers are not good to use as lipstick." -Lauren, age 9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't pick on your sister when she's holding a baseball bat." -Joel, age 10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your Mom when she's on the phone." -Alyesha, age 13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Never try to baptize a cat." -Eileen, age 8&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-3090357035810967590?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/3090357035810967590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=3090357035810967590' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3090357035810967590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3090357035810967590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/12/positive-thought-for-day.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-224615590317077763</id><published>2007-12-30T22:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-30T22:50:38.885-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>What would you do today if you knew you could not, Fail?</title><content type='html'>I recieved this in an email. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you do today if you knew you could not Fail? If you had an absolute guarantee of Success (whatever you conceive that to be), what would you do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How would you act? What would you think? Would you celebrate your victories in advance? Would you enjoy your endeavor more? How would you live your life and how would you conduct your business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My guess is that if you had such a guarantee, you would do things much differently. You would not let 'fear' of anything hold you back, no fear of failure, no fear of success. You would not let 'doubt' creep into your thoughts and immobilize your actions. You would not compare yourself with others and underestimate your own contribution. If you had some rejection along the way, you would blow it off and go on, because it wouldn't matter because you were going to succeed anyway. If someone doesn't see that, it doesn't hurt you because you have a guarantee of success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would proceed and live with the confidence, poise and passion that would absolutely propel you to your dream of success. You would take the necessary and the extraordinary actions to make your dream a reality without any thought because you cannot fail and of course, even when success is guaranteed, action is required.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why not pretend? Use your imagination. Pretend like you have the ironclad, rock-solid guarantee that you will have the success you desire. It's your fantasy; make it real in your own mind.

I know that what I believe about myself is what I will become - so I believe in the best for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am practical and realistic, and I keep my feet on solid ground. But I also give myself the freedom to live up to my fullest expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never limit myself by the short - sighted beliefs of others - instead I open myself up to the broad horizons of unlimited possibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone says I "cannot," I answer "why not?" When somone says "It`s impossible," I answer that nothing is any more impossible than I believe it to be. And I truly believe that with my individual fortress of faith, with me, anything is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have drive, spirit, stamina, and endurance. I have a good strong winning attitude about myself and about everything I do. I am practical and realistic, but I also believe in the best possible outcome of any situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I have ever had any doubts about myself in the past, today is a good day to put them aside. It`s a good day to throw out any disbelief that ever held me back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that I am headed in the right winning direction, and I look forward and never back. I have the ability to focus on one thing at a time, so I concentrate my attention on the job at hand - and I get it done!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is one of those days when nothing can stand in my way. When I need extra determination, I`ve got it! When I need more energy and drive, I`ve got it! I`ve got the power to get it done and the patience to see it through, no matter what the job or challenge may be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, even while I am telling myself these truths about me, I know that I can succeed and I am succeeding. At this moment, if I think of any challenge in front of me, I know that I will become even more of a winner because of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep my chin up, my head held high. I look, act, sound, think, and feel like the winner I am! Anytime a problem starts to get me down, I get myself right back up! I tackle problems and solve them. When frustration or defeat threatens me, I just become that much stronger, more positive, better organized, and more determined than ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, today, this moment, I am capable of giving myself the gift of absolute self-assurance, self-belief, and powerful non-stop confidence in myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what it is that requires the very best of me, I can do it and I know I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is a great day. And I`ve got what it takes. So I choose to do it right, do it well! I choose to live today with joy and love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it`s all up to me. One hundred percent! - every bit of it. All of it is in how I look at it and what I do about it! That`s what winning is. That`s why I am a winner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set my sights. I keep my balance. I don`t hesitate. I don`t hold back! I know that the world is full of opportunities. Look at what I can do; look at where I can go! Look at what I can do just by saying "Yes!" to myself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just look at what I can do today!

Have you ever done anything that will benefit the world not today, not next year, but a thousand years from now? If you limit your awareness to only your own concerns, you will continually be frustrated and disappointed. That is because your true nature exists far beyond the superficial, petty concerns of your shallow and fragile ego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine being able to live without fear, in a constant state of pure peacefulness and effortless fulfillment. That is the terrain you can inhabit when you let go of the concerns of self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you erect impenetrable borders between you and everything else, you push life's immense abundance away from your experience. The walls of exclusion and judgment that you create do quickly become your prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your awareness does not have to be limited by your perceptions. Beyond the confines of time and distance there is no end to the fulfillment that can be known.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you can achieve alone is quite impressive. Yet what you create by going beyond yourself can indeed fulfill every dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years before he was a huge movie star, actor Jim Carrey wrote a $10 million check for himself. The purpose of this gesture was to motivate himself towards his goals. In one interview, he talks about his habit of seeing his success before he was a success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I believe in that sort of thing," he says. "I'm not some sort of infomercial guy, but I do believe in visualizing what you want in life.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Third Biggest Lie&lt;br /&gt;Ann Landers challenged her readers to come up with the world's third-biggest lie -- right after "The check is in the mail" and "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." Here is a sampling from the thousands she received:&lt;br /&gt;- "It's a good thing you came in today. We only have two more in stock."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Five pounds is nothing on a person of your height."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "You made it yourself? I never would have guessed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Of course I'll respect you in the morning."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "You don't look a day over 40."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Dad, I need to move out of the dorm into an apartment of my own so I can have some peace and quiet when I study."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "It's delicious, but I can't eat another bite."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-"The new ownership won't affect you. The company will remain the same."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "The puppy won't be any trouble, Mom. I promise I'll take care of it myself."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Your hair looks just fine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Put away the map. I know exactly how to get there."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "You don't need it in writing. You have my personal guarantee."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Misstep&lt;br /&gt;I recall a time when my son was about 18 months old...I had him strapped in a backpack and was rushing to catch the bus. Apparently I misstepped and fell down an entire flight of stairs, (13 to be exact).

Choose right now to hold those thoughts that work in your favor. Choose the thoughts that give energy to your most cherished values and most treasured dreams. Choose thoughts that resonate with hope and love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To hold a certain specific thought requires no physical effort, no special training and no permission from anyone else. Your thoughts are precisely what you allow them to be, as soon as you allow them to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those thoughts set the stage for the way you experience life. They serve as a lens through which you see the world, and they control the way you respond to every situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you develop a strong habit of filling your mind with positive, uplifting thoughts, you are well positioned to successfully meet the challenges that come your way. Empowering thoughts equip you to take effective and appropriate action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts can come and go in an instant and have no physical dimensions, yet they exert enormous influence.

And yet, the things we all have in common are far more numerous than our differences. Behind every difference of opinion, behind every disagreement, behind each conflict there is common ground. And that common ground can be the starting point for resolving the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding common ground does not mean giving in or forcing the other person to accept your point of view. Instead, it means discovering the areas in which you already share a similar perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is well worth the effort to find things upon which everyone can agree. For that sets the stage for true understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often, every person seeks the same ultimate outcome, and the disagreement is about the details of how to get there. Even when you are unable to agree, it is always possible to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seek to focus on that understanding, and work to find common ground. It is from that point that everyone involved can begin to create real value for all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible According to Kids&lt;br /&gt;The following statements about the Bible were written by children and have not been retouched or corrected (i.e., bad spelling has been left in.)&lt;br /&gt;- In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark because Noah built the ark, which the animals came to in pears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with unsympathetic Genitals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Samson was a strong man who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Samson slew the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread without any ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Afterwards, Moses went up to Mount Cyanide to find the ten commendments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The seventh commandment is "Thou shalt not admit adultery".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Moses died before he ever reached Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar.

Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn't catch up to the accelerating chicken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing it turn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of the chickens had three legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That's astonishing!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred 'em that way because I love drumsticks."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juan was curious.

The dryer is unopened and well over the Customs limits; and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When they reached the Customs area, she let the priest go ahead of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The official asked: "Father, do you have anything to declare?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-9011704934001808718?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/9011704934001808718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=9011704934001808718' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/9011704934001808718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/9011704934001808718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/10/positive-thought-for-day_26.html' title='Positive Thought for the Day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-5745335993511838255</id><published>2007-10-22T00:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-22T00:45:47.699-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Powerful The Intelligent Warrior</title><content type='html'>You are intelligent, sharp, aggressive, ready-to-go, eyes-wide-open and powerful.

It seems the sanctuary in the new church had some magnificent stained glass windows, so his message centered on how each of us is called to help make up the whole picture of life (the life of the community of the faithful). Like the pictures in the windows, it takes many little panels of glass to make the whole picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then he said, "You see each one of you is a little pane." And then pointing to each child, "You're a little pane. And you're a little pane. And you're a little pane. And..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took a few moments before he realized why everyone was laughing so hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Many Uses of Coca-Cola&lt;br /&gt;1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coke into the toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FYI:&lt;br /&gt;1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

For when kindness is given, it inspires and enables even more kindness. You will cross paths today with someone who desperately needs to receive a little kindness. Kindness costs you nothing, and with it you can give so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when it seems that your kindness is not appreciated, that kindness does indeed make a difference. Even if your kindness is not acknowledged, it is noticed, and over time can soften the hardest hearts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a special joy that comes when you do something just to be kind. Let go of your concern about what's in it for you, and experience how truly good it feels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kindness can be so wonderfully refreshing. The world remembers and respects those who offer it on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's easy to give a little kindness. It's immensely powerful when you do it over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to Have a Perfect Pastor&lt;br /&gt;A recent survey has compiled all the qualities that people expect from the perfect pastor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Results of a computerized survey indicated that the perfect pastor preaches exactly 12 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He frequently condemns sin but never upsets anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He works from 8 a.m. until midnight and is also a janitor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He makes $60 a week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives about $80 a week to the poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is 28 years of age, but he's been preaching for 30 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is wonderfully gentle and handsome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He gives himself completely but never gets too close to anyone to avoid criticism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He speaks boldly on social issues, but must never become politically involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has a burning desire to work with teenagers, but he spends all his time with senior citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He makes 15 daily calls to parish families, visits shut-ins and the hospitalized, spends all his time evangelizing the unchurched, and is always in his office when needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking Dog for Sale&lt;br /&gt;This guy sees a sign in front of a house "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a mutt sitting there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You talk?" he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yep," the mutt replies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So, what's your story?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, cause no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says "Ten dollars."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy says he'll buy him, but asks the owner, "This dog is amazing.

What you choose to be is what matters. When life is not going your way, there is nothing of value to be gained by looking for someone to blame. Instead, move beyond what has already happened and get busy exploring the positive possibilities available to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you experience a disappointment or even a serious setback, that is no reason to give up hope. Though life is certainly not perfect, you are completely capable of moving forward no matter what may have happened before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happiness will come to you when it comes from you. Success will be yours when you choose to take responsibility for making it so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of obsessing over who might have hurt you or why or how, decide to get on with life. Instead of putting your energy into resentment, put that energy into creating meaningful greatness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your life is yours to live.

His boat is a ways off and he starts swimming like crazy. He's scared to death, and as he turns to see the jaws of the great white beast open revealing its teeth in a horrific splendor, the atheist screams, "Oh God! Save me!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an instant time is frozen and a bright light shines down from above. The man is motionless in the water when he hears the voice of God say, "You are an atheist. Why do you call upon me when you do not believe in me?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aghast with confusion and knowing he can't lie the man replies, "Well, that's true I don't believe in you, but how about the shark? Can you make the shark believe in you?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord replies, "As you wish," and the light retracted back into the heavens and the man could feel the water begin to move once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the atheist looks back he can see the jaws of the shark start to close down on him, when all of sudden the shark stops and pulls back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shocked, the man looks at the shark as the huge beast closes its eyes and bows its head and says, "Thank you Lord for this food for which I am about to receive..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vermont Dumb Laws&lt;br /&gt;- Whistling underwater is illegal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- At one time it was illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- It is illegal to deny the existence of God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Lawmakers made it obligatory for everybody to take at least one bath each week- - on Saturday night.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-5302770187152096515?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/5302770187152096515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=5302770187152096515' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/5302770187152096515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/5302770187152096515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/10/positive-thought-for-day_17.html' title='Positive Thought for the Day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-3740120303752336198</id><published>2007-10-11T00:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-11T00:24:39.621-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>How to Manifest For Free</title><content type='html'>How to Manifest For Free&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Nelson Berry&lt;br /&gt;Creator of Subliminal Video Messages&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am constantly receiving e-mails that say something like this: "Please send me something that is free that will cause me to attract money so that I can have money to pay for other things needed. Thank you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is a typical example of e-mails that are arriving from around the world from people who just don't get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So what I wanted to do was give anybody the opportunity to manifest anything that they wanted to for basically free. The only thing that you need is a couple of good pencils or pens, and a notebook, just a standard, regular notebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So how do we do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Firstly this is a daily exercise. You don't miss a day. Second thing to remember is what we're doing is creating the future. It's a four step sequence. And so, without further ado, let's go ahead and get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is going to absolutely blow your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It takes about 30 days for it to kick in. It'll actually kick in instantly, but things will start manifesting and coming into your life very rapidly. I'd hate to say, you know, the old rule of thumb is 21 days, but I've seen it happen sooner, I've seen it happen longer. So the key is daily effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; You need to do this exercise every single day without missing a day from here on out, pretty much. And as you start to get your new goal in you switch goals and do it on the next goal. So let's go ahead and get started. The first thing just open up a notebook and I've got mine here. Just open it up to a clean page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; At the top of the page you're going to write what it is that you want to happen, and attach a feeling to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; For example, let's talk about money since that seems to be what everyone is interested in. The first thing you attach the event and attach an emotion to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So step one is, "I…", and you want to state it in the form of as if it's happening right now, or if it's already happened. So step one would be, "I am making $200 dollars per day, and feel relieved and excited about my life, and look forward to more fun in the days to come."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; What I've done there is made a statement. "I'm making $200 dollars per day." That's the objective. But I'm not saying, "I'm going to make $200 dollars per day," I'm saying, "I am making $200 per day," and that's how we're going to talk about this as if it's happening right now. What's going on? "I'm making $200 dollars per day," and we're talking about how it feels right now to make $200 dollars per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; You might be making minimum wage right now, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about you decided you wanted to make $200 dollars per day. Let's pretend like you're making $200 dollars per day, except this is not pretending, this is for real because what we feel and think on the inside attracts things on the outside to match what we feel like on the inside. I've got tons of proof how this works. I've done it a million times. It's wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is free. This is a daily exercise, you asked for it, here it is. So that's step one. "I am making $200 dollars per day," and how do I feel? "I feel relieved and excited about my life, and I look forward to more fun in the days to come." That's something that I feel, and you want to pick something that you really feel in your words. How do you feel? Imagine that you're making $200 dollars per day, and how does it feel? And get up in that space to where you're making $200 dollars per day, and how does it feel, and write it down. And then the second step to this is, and you write this out, "I support myself in making $200 dollars per day, and am grateful for my life and income." The key part of step two is, "I support myself in," whatever it is. "I support myself," okay? So that's the second step. And in this example, "I support myself in making $200 dollars per day, and am grateful for my life and income," that's something that I feel. Obviously gratitude's important. I'd suggest to you, consider that in your number two statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And then number three is the fun part. Number three is where you get up in there and you own it, and you talk about everything that's going on. And this is actually where you want to get up into that picture, and stay there, and hold it for as long as you can. So, for example, we'll just go through an example here. Number three is basically you describe, and you write down, and talk about feelings, and talk about how what's going on in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Of course the $200 dollars in cash, you know, the paper part of it is not what we're looking for. We're looking for the emotion, and the lifestyle and what's it doing for you. What's it like? What's if feel like? What's it smell like? What's going on? What are other people saying? What's it feel like? So, in this example, I'm just going to write it out here. "I am so happy that I am now making $200 dollars per day. I feel so relieved. I am more relaxed. I can pay all my bills. I can do almost anything I want to." And you get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; We're staying up in there, and what you need to do is to focus and stay up in there for a long time. I mean when I say a long time I'm talking like you want to go for five minutes a day if you can, and just keeping writing about it. And what you'll find is that this feeling will start to come up inside of you about how it feels as if you've already made $200 dollars per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Again, you might be making minimum wage, but that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about you already make $200 dollars per day, and how does it feel. And you do this exercise, and continue to write. This is not a journal. This is a specific written manifestation exercise. This is not like anything that you've probably ever done before. What happens is you get this feeling, and that feeling is the exact same feeling that you get when it actually happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I have to emphasize, I don't know all the spiritual things that are at work here. What I do know is that this works. And what I also know is that when it actually happens that's the exact same feeling you'll get when it happens. So the purpose of this exercise is, is for you to get comfortable with that feeling. At first it might feel a little uncomfortable, but don't worry about it. Just keep writing. I mean it's a joyful pleasant experience because if you didn't want it in the first place it wouldn't be there, right? I mean in step one, "I'm making $200 dollars per day," if you didn't want $200 dollars per day don't put that down there. If you want a girlfriend, boyfriend, love of your life, you want to get married, have kids, get a new house, pay off your credit cards, whatever it is. Because you can do whatever you want to do, okay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Just, again, in step one it's whatever the event is and how you feel about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Step two is, "I support myself," in whatever it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And Step three is you get in there and you step into the picture as if it's happening right now, and you just stay there in writing. The writing helps you stay focused on it. And you'll have this feeling come up. You get used to feeling, get comfortable with it, get to know it, become a friend with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Then step four is similar to step two. Step four is a Thank You to your Higher Power for giving this to you and states it as if it has already happened, "Thank You so much for letting me make $200 per day and I'm very, very, very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And that's it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Is that simple enough?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Respect,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nelson Berry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The $5k Per Day Subliminal Video.

For they're the opportunities that have the most room for growth. The biggest, most obvious opportunities attract a great deal of attention. That can make them fiercely competitive because of all the people who seek to make the most of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small opportunities can go largely unnoticed. Yet for someone who makes the effort to see it, a small opportunity can be an ideal platform on which to build great value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small opportunities are numerous and widely available. You could spend your whole life waiting for a big opportunity, while many small opportunities come along every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small opportunities usually offer more latitude, flexibility and room for creativity. With small opportunities you can make the most of your own unique passion and purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open your eyes to the abundance of seemingly small opportunities that arrive in your world on a daily basis. For even with small opportunities you can create big value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas Story&lt;br /&gt;A little boy returned from Sunday school with a new perspective on the Christmas story. He had learned all about the Wise Men from the East who brought gifts to the Baby Jesus. He was so excited he could hardly wait to tell his parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as he arrived home, he immediately began, "I learned all about the very first Christmas in Sunday school today! There wasn't a Santa Claus way back then, so these three skinny guys on camels had to deliver all the toys! And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with his nose so bright wasn't there yet, so they had to have this big spotlight in the sky to find their way around!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6th Grade History&lt;br /&gt;Examples of creativity provided by a 6th grade class during history tests:&lt;br /&gt;1. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a virgin, and Benjamin Franklinnwere to 2 singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "a horse divided against itself can not stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Abraham Lincoln was America's greatest precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation . On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in the moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a suposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him.

Yet in other situations, the best response is just to simply and completely let it go. When there's something you can do that will make a positive contribution, then by all means do it. When your actions will do nothing other than prolong an unfortunate impasse, learn to let it go and let it be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are things you can change. And there are things you cannot change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Embrace what you can change with positive, persistent effort. Embrace what you cannot change with peaceful, enlightened acceptance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put your energy into pursuits that will bring value. Choose not to waste that energy fighting destructive battles that do nothing more than satisfy your ego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is profound beauty both in what you can do and in what you cannot do.

During a trip from California to Indiana, it didn't help that my connecting flight from Denver was delayed twice because of mechanical problems. Then, after we were aloft, I noticed the lights began flickering. I mentioned this to a flight attendant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'll take care of it," she said. Moments later the lights went out. Clearly she'd solved the problem by turning off the lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A passenger across the aisle who had been listening leaned over and said, "Whatever you do, please don't ask about the engines."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trio of old veterans&lt;br /&gt;A trio of old veterans were bragging about the heroic exploits of their ancestors one afternoon down at the VFW hall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My great grandfather, at age 13," one declared proudly, "was a drummer boy at Shiloh."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mine," boasts another, "went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm the only soldier in my family," confessed vet number three, "but if my great grandfather was living today he'd be the most famous man in the world."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Really?

The victories that the world is able to see are direct reflections of the victories that you've already won within yourself. Your biggest obstacle to success can be your own inability to see yourself reaching it. Once you know without a doubt that you can do it, you will indeed make it happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important person to convince is you. Once you are truly convinced that you can do it, others will quickly be convinced as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever you seek to achieve, achieve it first on the inside. Then, even the most formidable outer challenges will not have the power to stop you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inner achievement will build your confidence and fuel your persistence. Inner achievement will put the power of purpose behind every action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work to convince yourself of the worthiness and value of the goal you seek. And from that inner achievement, the outer achievement will surely flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even More Funny Headlines&lt;br /&gt;- Killer Sentenced To Die For Second Time In 10 Years&lt;br /&gt;(make sure you do a better job of killing him this time )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Never Withhold Herpes Infection From Loved One&lt;br /&gt;(thats right give it to em to share the love )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- War Dims Hope For Peace&lt;br /&gt;(hmmmmmmmmm you think )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last A While&lt;br /&gt;(no really you dont say )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Cold Wave Linked To Temperatures&lt;br /&gt;(thats usually the way it works)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Deer Kill 17,000&lt;br /&gt;(omg a deranged serial killing deer )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Enfields Couple Slain, Police Suspect Homicide&lt;br /&gt;(hmmmmmm I suspect there right )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Red Tape Holds Up New Bridge&lt;br /&gt;(I hope thats some strong tape )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead&lt;br /&gt;(oh no it killed all those people in the cemetary )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Man Struck By Lightening Faces Battery Charge&lt;br /&gt;(hmmm I wonder how much he would charge me to jump my pick-up off )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depression&lt;br /&gt;A businessman was in a great deal of trouble. His business was failing, he had put everything he had into the business, he owed everybody-- it was so bad he was even contemplating suicide. As a last resort he went to a priest and poured out his story of tears and woe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he had finished, the priest said, "Here's what I want you to do: Put a beach chair and your Bible in your car and drive down to the beach. Take the beach chair and the Bible to the water's edge, sit down in the beach chair, and put the Bible in your lap. Open the Bible; the wind will rifle the pages, but finally the open Bible will come to rest on a page. Look down at the page and read the first thing you see. That will be your answer, that will tell you what to do."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year later the businessman went back to the priest and brought his wife and children with him. The man was in a new custom-tailored suit, his wife in a mink coat, the children shining. The businessman pulled an envelope stuffed with money out of his pocket, gave it to the priest as a donation in thanks for his advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest recognized the benefactor, and was curious. "You did as I suggested?" he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Absolutely," replied the businessman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You went to the beach?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Absolutely."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You sat in a beach chair with the Bible in your lap?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Absolutely."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You let the pages rifle until they stopped?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Absolutely."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And what were the first words you saw?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Chapter 11."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-2693118265005039022?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/2693118265005039022/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=2693118265005039022' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/2693118265005039022'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/2693118265005039022'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/10/positive-thought-for-day.html' title='Positive Thought for the Day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-2263504770643512603</id><published>2007-09-30T23:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-30T23:27:29.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Instead of being frightened into submission by the negative scenarios, choose to follow the positive possibilities. Life has always been challenging, and it will continue to be. Yet that is no reason to be gloomy or fearful, for in every challenge there is great opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever you focus on will grow stronger and more influential in your world. Choose to focus on creative, innovative, loving, respectful and beautiful ways to move forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who obsess over assigning blame only end up making the problems worse. What you can do now is far more important than who is at fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you give your energy to fear and hatred, whatever you fear and whatever you despise will grow bigger and more imposing. Is that really what you want?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The future is as bright and beautiful as you decide to see it. See it, live it, and make it so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They Walk Among Us&lt;br /&gt;I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64. This actually happened in Austin at MoPac Boulevard and Parmer Lane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;====&lt;br /&gt;I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They're already buy-one-get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free" She handed me my free lattes and I walked out the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the wagon&lt;br /&gt;A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of wheat on the road. The farmer that lived nearby came to investigate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey, Willis," he called out, "forget your troubles for a while and come and have dinner with us. Then I'll help you overturn the wagon."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's very nice of you," Willis answered, "but I don't think Dad would like me to."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aw, come on, son!" the farmer insisted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, OK," the boy finally agreed, "but Dad won't like it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked the host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know Dad's going to be real upset."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't be silly!" said the neighbor.

Yet all too often your thoughts can keep that joy hidden away. Most of the judgments to which you devote your thoughts do not serve any useful purpose. Worries, resentments, and angry thinking will bring you nothing of real value, and will push joy further away from your awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let go of those toxic thoughts and allow the joy that's hiding underneath them to shine through. Let go of the need to judge and to strive, and make room in your awareness for joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joy is easy and natural and not something you must struggle for or force. It has been there all along, and will flow easily from you when you allow it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let your thoughts benefit from joy instead of using those thoughts to cover up that joy. Allow your actions to be more focused and effective by allowing your own unique joy to be expressed through them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set free the joy in your life by letting go of the negativity that you don't need anyway.

One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"

Who and what do you think you are? If your self-image is in conflict with your goals, the self-image will win out and the goals will fall by the wayside. Yet when your image of yourself is in agreement with your goals, those goals will be achieved in ways that seem almost effortless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who you think you are has a tremendous impact on the person you actually become. And fortunately, you can choose precisely who you think you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others will often try to tell you who you are, but you don't need to pay any attention to them. Instead, decide to see yourself as the person you would most truly like to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way you choose to see yourself exerts a steady and substantial influence on all the other choices you make. And those choices add together to build the reality of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truly see yourself as the person who can live the life you most sincerely desire to live.

Consider that some of those assumptions may no longer be accurate, and may very well be holding you back. It's comfortable and convenient to assume you can't do something. Yet such an assumption quickly turns into a continuing limitation that you place on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things that were true for you many years ago may no longer have any validity. By holding on to those old assumptions, you prevent yourself from making the most of the new opportunities that come your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of how dramatically the world has changed in the last ten or twenty years. Have your assumptions about your own possibilities kept pace?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be carrying assumptions that were placed in your mind by people who no longer play a role in your life. Take a close look at the choices and decisions you make, at the goals and aspirations you hold, and examine the assumptions behind them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it a point to regularly question your assumptions.

Each day, by 2 p.m., the tugboats send data on the day's activities to the company's traffic department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least that's how it's supposed to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I got a call from our traffic department saying they only got data from about half the boats, and would I check on it?" technician says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He calls the satellite company, but the technician there says there's no problem on his end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the traffic department calls again -- they're still not getting messages from the missing boats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So I called the boats and got them to re-send the messages, and they came through," says our tech. "The problem apparently cleared itself up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he isn't quite satisfied. "I called the satellite company back to see what happened, and what we could do if the problem recurred."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satellite company's technician doesn't know what happened and doesn't have any way of finding out.

And yet, they are among life's greatest blessings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the challenges will make it perfectly clear what has real meaning in your life and what doesn't. The challenges hold your priorities up to you and will show you the best of who you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Climbing the mountain of challenge is difficult and treacherous, yet the view from the summit is spectacular. And the experience you gain in the effort will continue to bring value long after the work is done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are truly fortunate to have challenges in your life. For within every challenge is a clearly defined path for moving vigorously and meaningfully forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murphy's Laws Of Combat&lt;br /&gt;- If the enemy is in range, so are you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Incoming fire has the right of way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-There is always a way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The easy way is always mined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: a.

Instead, take the energy from your fears and turn it toward positive purpose. There is nothing to be gained by giving additional energy to your anger. Take the energy from your anger, and direct it toward creative, fulfilling action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever you focus upon, whether it is positive or negative, you provide with additional energy. Whether you love it or hate it, whether you long for it or fear it, your focus and attention will make it more powerful in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be large amounts of energy in your fears, your angers, and your frustrations. The thing to do with all that negative energy is not to add to it, but to apply it toward your most positive purposes and most treasured desires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you truly wish to avoid something, be careful not to nourish it with your focus and your energy. Find something else to move toward, and keep that positive goal at the center of your awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In each moment, you can choose where to focus your attention and your energy. Seek to keep your focus as positive as possible, and you'll move steadily in the direction of your dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things You Don't Want to Hear Over an Airline PA Top Things You Don't Want to Overhear Over an Airline P.A. System&lt;br /&gt;1. Ocean crossing flight: This is your Captain speaking, I just wanted to take this time to remind you that your seat cushions can be used as floatation devices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Hey folks, we're going to play a little game of geography trivia. If you can recognize where we are, tell your flight attendant and receive an extra pack of peanuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Our loss of altitude allows a unique close up perspective of the local terrain. I assure you that it's all part of our airline's new commitment to make your a flight a sight seeing extravaganza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Goose! Bogey at 2 o'clock....one on our tail!!!! Eject!!!! Eject!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Ummmmmm....Sorry......(silence)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. (As the plane turns around right after takeoff)....uhhhhh....we have to go back ....we ..we ....uhhhhhh ....forgot something.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I'm sure everyone noticed the loss of an engine, however the reduction in weight and drag will mean we'll be flying much more efficiently now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Fasten your seat belt. (same tone your friend with the suicidal driving tendencies uses when you get in the car).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. This is your Captain speaking....these stupid planes are a lot different than the ships I'm used to.. so you'll have to give me some leeway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. It would be a good idea if right now everyone closed their shades and watched the in-flight movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. We've now reached our cruising altitude of 20,000 feet and ... Oh noooooooo!!!!!..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Don't worry! That one is always on E...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Get the parachutes ready...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14.

Instead of fighting for the chance to receive discarded scraps, work diligently to freely give big buckets of nourishing substance. Rather than growing hoarse from shouting, grow wise from listening. When those around you are tripping all over their own arrogance and self-importance, have the confidence to live with genuine humility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who so desperately and endlessly brag about themselves quickly fade into a meaningless blur. Those who quietly and consistently perform are the ones who soon stand out from the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you assume that people are stupid, and look upon them with disrespect, they will look at you in exactly the same way. When you seek to take advantage of others, you become ridiculously easy prey for those who will certainly take advantage of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way to stand out is not by pushing others back. The way to stand out is by generously and sincerely leading others forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expect the best of others, and respectfully give the best that you have. Choose to stand out, away from the pettiness and shortsighted greed, and you'll find a truly magnificent life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baptism&lt;br /&gt;A father is in church with three of his young children, including his five year old daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the children could properly witness the service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this particular service, the minister was performing the baptism of a tiny infant.

It is in fact very real and powerful. Look around you and consider all the real, solid, useful and valuable things that began their existence in someone's imagination. What you can imagine, is clearly possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most likely, your imagination has far more power than you realize. There are aspects of your reality today that come directly from long-forgotten stirrings of your imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you dare to imagine if you were certain that it would become real? In fact, most of what you imagine does indeed influence your life and your world in some way or other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, the things you imagine do not instantly spring into material form. Actually, something even more amazing happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your imagination plants a fertile seed in the capable, creative, intelligent, effective person that is you.

How can you maintain a positive approach when the situations and events around you are so troublesome? A sincerely positive attitude is not a reaction to the way things are. Rather, it is an expression of the way you choose for things to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being positive is not an unrealistic or naive view of a negative world. It provides you with a solid foundation for making real improvements in the world and creating meaningful value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being positively focused enables you to see, and to make the most of, opportunities that would otherwise be invisible. Being positive gives you the energy to move forward no matter what the obstacles may be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you focus on the positive aspects of a situation, there will be plenty of people who disagree with you. But that is their problem, not yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look beyond those who argue for defeat, and find the path to victory. Whatever the current situation may be, you can always choose a positive way forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman&lt;br /&gt;A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman at his bed side and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a Mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness. The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergymans sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept his promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Coma&lt;br /&gt;The woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When I got fired, you were there to support me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When my business failed, you were there."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When I got shot, you were by my side."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When we lost the house, you stayed right here."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What dear?" She gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think you're bad luck."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-8883666493142835003?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/8883666493142835003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=8883666493142835003' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/8883666493142835003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/8883666493142835003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/09/positive-thought-for-day_19.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-7053473552932158065</id><published>2007-09-17T23:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-17T23:53:58.099-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

And that provides you with nearly unlimited opportunity. Success is not a secret that is hidden from you. Success is a habit that is readily available to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is made up of moment after moment. Point all those moments in the same direction, and truly magnificent achievements will come about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are very few things of value that you can create instantly. Yet when you expand your horizon to a few weeks or months, the possibilities for achievement increase dramatically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hours and the days will pass whether you make use of them or not. Choose to focus your energy in a specific direction, again and again, and put the power of time to work for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your thoughts, your words and your actions pointed in the direction you would most like to go. Develop the habit of success, and with it you can create whatever you choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's for Dinner?&lt;br /&gt;I have my changed my system for labeling homemade freezer meals. I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look in my freezer now you'll see a whole new set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don't Know," "I Don't Care," "Something Good," or "Food." My frustration is now reduced because no matter what my husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting.The&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toaster Oven&lt;br /&gt;One of my daughter's wedding presents was a toaster oven. Soon after the honeymoon, she and her husband tried it out. Almost immediately, smoke billowed out of the toaster. "Get the owner's manual!" her husband shouted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can't find it anywhere!" she cried, searching through the box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oops!" came a voice from the kitchen.

What an extraordinary opportunity it is to be aware and able to interact with all that surrounds you. How wonderful it can be to feel weary after a fulfilling day's work.

It is so fulfilling to make a difference in the lives of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For every single difficulty there are a hundred blessings.

Just before the conductor came through, all the Scots piled into the toilet stall at the back of the car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called "Tickets, please!" and one of the Scots slid a ticket under the door. It was punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the Scots came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were tremendously impressed by the Scots' ingenuity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the trip back, the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and purchased only one ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Scots had not purchased any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came through, the Scots piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Englishmen into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out, knocked on the Englishmen's stall and called "Ticket, Please!" When the ticket slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Useless in the Parking Lot&lt;br /&gt;A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When returning to her car she found that she had locked herkeys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had happened and that she did not know what to do. The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said, "Sure". He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank you so much! You are a very nice man."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank you God!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You even sent me a Professional!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-6984441892575295561?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/6984441892575295561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=6984441892575295561' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6984441892575295561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6984441892575295561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/09/positive-thought-for-day_16.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-5821767037704855809</id><published>2007-09-15T23:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-15T23:56:32.225-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Refuse to get caught up in them, and those frustrations will have no power over you. Small inconveniences and minor disappointments can lead to major disruptions if you let them. But you don't have to let them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you feel frustration starting to overwhelm you, choose to step back a little bit. Sure, the situation may be absurd and outrageous, but is it really all that important?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your ego likes to make you blow the little things far out of proportion, because it's an easy way to feel important. Yet it can also be an enormous waste of your time and energy, not to mention the negative impact it has on your attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as possible, give the frustrations some distance. Get away from them to a place where you can calmly think through your options, and you'll find that there's almost never any need to be frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rise above the pettiness of wasteful frustrations, with a smile on your face and generosity in your heart. And you'll be able to clearly see a fast, effective, fulfilling way forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bumpers&lt;br /&gt;Most people hate to parallel park. The other day, I saw this woman trying to get out of a tight parking space. She'd bump the car in front, then back-up and strike the car behind her. This went on about 2 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked over to see if I could somehow help. My offer was declined though. She said, "Why have bumpers if you're not going to use them once in a while?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rocking Horse&lt;br /&gt;A mother, visiting a department store, took her son to the toy department. Spying a gigantic rocking horse the boy climbed up on it and rocked back and forth for almost an hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come on, Son," the mother pleaded. "I have to get home to get father's dinner."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The little lad refused to budge, and all her efforts were unavailing. The department manager also tried to coax the little fellow without meeting with any success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, in desperation they called the store's psychiatrist. Gently he walked over and whispered a few words in the boy's ear, and immediately the lad jumped off and ran to his mother's side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How did you do it?" the mother asked incredibly. "What did you say to him?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The psychiatrist hesitated for a moment, then said, "All I said was, `If you don't jump off that rocking horse at once, son, I'll knock the stuffing out of you!'"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-3469234620040669043?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/3469234620040669043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=3469234620040669043' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3469234620040669043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3469234620040669043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/09/positive-thought-for-day_14.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-9137744865992911920</id><published>2007-09-13T23:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-14T00:04:29.058-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -- Two women got into a physical fight over a parking space in a crowded lot at a Minnesota zoo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem started Sunday afternoon when a 22-year-old Scandia woman and her friend spied a spot someone was leaving at the Como Zoo in St. Paul. Although a minivan was queued up to take the spot, the woman got out and stood in the space to reserve it until her friend could park there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the woman was standing there, the minivan driver moved closer, threatening to run her down, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Tuesday. When she stood her ground, a woman passenger allegedly got out of the minivan and attacked the woman, allegedly shoving, punching and scratching her, as well as ripping her shirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minivan driver separated the two and they took off, police said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom Walsh, a spokesman for St. Paul police, said both women have important lessons to learn, like waiting your turn and not behaving badly because someone else has. As it turned out, the first woman's provocative behavior was for nothing, since her friend found another space while she was standing there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Late for work&lt;br /&gt;Late for work already, I was annoyed to find a strange car in my reserved parking space again. After locating a spot far away, I stormed into my office determined, to have the car towed. As the morning wore on, however, my anger cooled, and I decided to give the driver another chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During lunchtime, I went outside and left this note on the driver's windshield:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Please don't take my parking space.

Focus on it, and it will grow. When the positive possibilities seem terribly overwhelmed by the negative influences, give your attention to those positive possibilities. And you will give them real power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The faintest light will push back the darkness. And you'll then have the opportunity to make that light shine even more brightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When everything has gone wrong, the smallest positive step can make a world of difference. And once a positive momentum is established, you can continue to build upon it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though it may seem that all hope is lost, one person with a positive purpose has the power to begin turning things around. Once that happens, others will gratefully join in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the situation may be, choose to shine a positive light that those around you can see. And the more it is seen, the brighter it will become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts On Aging&lt;br /&gt;- The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- You're getting old when you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The cardiologist's diet: if it tastes good, spit it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Doctor to patient: I have good news and bad news: the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- You know you're getting old when you stop buying green bananas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Last Will and Testament: Being of sound mind, I spent all my money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- When you lean over to pick something up off the floor, you ask yourself if there is anything else you need to do while you are down there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- You find yourself in the middle of the stairway, and you can't remember if you were downstairs going up or upstairs going down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Principal&lt;br /&gt;As a new school principal, Mr. Mitchell was checking over his school on the first day. Passing the stockroom, he was startled to see the door wide open and teachers bustling in and out, carrying off books and supplies in preparation for the arrival of students the next day. The school where he had been a Principal the previous year had used a check-out system only slightly less elaborate than that at Fort Knox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cautiously, he asked the school's long time Custodian, "Do you think it's wise to keep the stock room unlocked and to let the teachers take things without requisitions?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Custodian looked at him gravely...

Fear has only the power that you give it. Your fears can intimidate you or they can illuminate you. The choice is entirely up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your fears can stop you or they can prepare you. And you get to decide which it will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to each fear just long enough to absorb the useful and reasonable information it may contain. Then realize that once that is done, it is time to move on beyond the fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side of fear, there is value, there is accomplishment, there is fulfillment. See fear as the gateway that it is, and make the choice to carefully and persistently go through it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allow the fear to prepare you well, then move on past it.

St. Peter informed them that in order to get into Heaven, they would each have to answer one question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Peter addressed the teacher and asked, "What was the name of the ship that crashed into the iceberg? They just made a movie about it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teacher answered quickly, "That would be the Titanic." St.Peter let him through the gate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Peter turned to the garbage man and, figuring Heaven didn't REALLY need all the odors that this guy would bring with him, decided to make the question a little harder: "How many people died on the ship?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately for him, the trash man had just seen the movie, and answered, "1,228."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's right! You may enter."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Peter then turned to the lawyer.

Yet the most realistic response is not to lower your expectations, but in fact to raise them higher. It may seem that lowering your expectations so they're more in line with your reality would protect you from disappointment. Yet lowering your expectations is sure to bring on even more disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're disappointed with the results you're getting, it's not because your expectations are too high. It's because those expectations are not high enough to pull you forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raise your expectations to the point where they become so meaningful and compelling that you cannot help but fulfill them. Choose those expectations that will drive you in each moment to do what must be done to reach them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the going gets rough, the answer is not to give up on your dreams. The answer is to grab on to those dreams, and to put them front and center in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set your expectations high, connect solidly and consistently with them, and those expectations will give a positive, effective direction to your life.

What could possibly be more magical than that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything you now know has been put in place by that same sort of magic.

"One million dollars," the engineer answered.

The possibilities open to you right now are more wonderful and abundant than they have ever been. You may be suffering under the sad illusion that the best days of your life have already come and gone. Choose now to see beyond that self-imposed limiting thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open your eyes to the beautiful truth that the things in your life with real value and meaning never decline or decay. The longer you live with purpose and sincerity, the more intensely you experience true love and joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may seem that your mistakes have been piled on top of mistakes, and that nothing can free you from your burdensome regrets. Yet the freedom you seek is as close as the next moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every beauty you've ever imagined is real, and exists in you right now. Every joy that you've ever glimpsed is yours to live and to express any time you choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You stand in this moment at a beautiful new beginning, full of promise and possibility.

What do you think you would see? You already know what it's like to be you from the inside. Think for a moment how it would be to encounter you from the outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider how your words, your actions and your priorities look when viewed objectively. Think of the advice you would want to give if you were to observe yourself for a while from the outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stand back and watch the way you spend your time. Look closely at what really works for you, and at what really doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though it is unwise to become obsessed with what others think of you, it is smart to regularly consider your life from an objective viewpoint. It can give you a new appreciation for your strengths and will help to point out areas where you can make valuable improvements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In your imagination, every now and then, take a step back, and then take a good look.

She said, "Mount Sinai Hospital? Hello. Darling, I'd like to talk with the person who gives the information about the patients. But I don't want to know if the patient is better or doing like expected, or worse, I want all the information from top to bottom, from A to Z."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The voice on the other end of the line said, "Would you hold the line, please, that's a very unusual request?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a very authoritative voice came on and said, "Are you the lady who is calling about one of the patients?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, "Yes, darling! I'd like to know the information about Sarah Finkel, in room 302."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said, "Finkel. Finkel. Let me see. Feinberg, Farber - Finkel. Oh yes, Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two full meals, her doctor says if she continues improving as she is, he is going to send her home Tuesday at twelve o'clock."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! She's going home at twelve o'clock! I'm so happy to hear that. That's wonderful news."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy on the other end said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be one of the close family?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, "What close family?

"Heck, Gloria," the old man hissed when Saint Peter walked off, "we could have been here ten years ago if you hadn't heard about all that stupid oat bran, wheat germ, and low-fat diets!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-7397004644185716322?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/7397004644185716322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=7397004644185716322' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/7397004644185716322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/7397004644185716322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/09/positive-thought-for-day_03.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-1887064305596606695</id><published>2007-09-01T22:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-01T22:33:27.440-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Each time they come to the surface, you feel a tinge of longing and wonder and excitement. You consider them for a moment, and then you usually push them back away from your awareness. Something, seemingly more urgent, comes along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet they never completely go away. Because there is something in them that tells you about who you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are they? They're the best of your unexplored possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You hold on to them, keep them buried away, and cherish them deeply in your own way. Maybe now, though, maybe it is time to begin giving life to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time one of those unexplored possibilities reminds you of itself, do more than just putting it back away.

Just because there is some problem or difficulty or shortcoming in your life at the moment, it does not prevent you from moving forward. Focus not on what is missing or what is wrong. Focus on doing your very best within the circumstances as they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seek not to find an excuse. Instead, do what you have chosen to do, create what you have chosen to create, live as you have chosen to live, no matter what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you wait until conditions are perfect, you'll spend most of your time waiting. You'll be far better off when you go ahead and put that time to effective and productive use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There may be plenty of reasonable excuses for not moving forward. Go ahead and do it anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, it would be great if some things were a little different, yet the reality is that conditions are as they are.

She smugly added, "Why can't you?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doctor nodded, stood back, looked her up and down, quickly wrote out a prescription, handed it to her and said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There you are. Of course, if that doesn't work, we'll have to have you put to sleep."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I Was Your Age&lt;br /&gt;A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in 9 holes before he had to head home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the ball far but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They reached the ninth fairway, and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball, directly between his ball and the green.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally said, "You know, when I was your age I'd hit the ball right over that tree."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard and hit the ball right smack into the top of the tree trunk, where it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-6028830539595642914?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/6028830539595642914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=6028830539595642914' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6028830539595642914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6028830539595642914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_31.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-4199502992523268635</id><published>2007-08-31T21:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-31T21:16:31.668-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Things to Remember</title><content type='html'>I find what I look for in people. If I look for God, I find God. If I look for bad qualities, I find them. I, in a sense, select what I expect, and I receive it. A life without challenges would be like going to school without lessons to learn. Challenges come not to depress or get me down, but to master and to grow and to unfold thereby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Father's wise and loving plan for me, no burden can fall upon me, no emergency can arise, no grief can overtake me, before I am given the grace and strength to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rich, full life is not determined by outer circumstances and relationships. These can be contributory to it, but cannot be the source. I am happy or unhappy because of what I think and feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can never lose anything that belongs to me, nor can I posses what is not really mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To never run from a problem: either it will chase me or I will run into another just like it, although it may have a different face or name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To have no concern for tomorrow.

Every now and then you catch a glimpse of it, and even those brief encounters can truly amaze you. So how do you tap into that extensive reservoir of richness that has built up in your life? You connect with it by letting go of all the superficial distractions and petty pursuits under which it is buried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you give your awareness to things that have no lasting meaning or purpose, you distance yourself from the true joy that is your birthright.

One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom. The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out there. It's dark." The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. "You don't have to be afraid of the dark," she explained. "Jesus is out there. He'll look after you and protect you." The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's out there?" "Yes, I'm sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him," she said. The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called, "Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digg.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif" width="91" height="17" alt="Digg!" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-6026485483849270595?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/6026485483849270595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=6026485483849270595' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6026485483849270595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6026485483849270595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_30.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-3974568751082656358</id><published>2007-08-29T22:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T22:13:41.227-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Seeing that, they start asking the questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police chief asks, "What were the people doing on the bus?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The monkey shakes his head in a condemning manner and starts dancing around; meaning the people were dancing and having fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chief asks, "Yeah, but what else were they doing?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The monkey uses his hand and takes it to his mouth as if holding a bottle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chief says, "Oh! They were drinking, huh??!" The chief continues, "Okay, were they doing anything else?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The monkey nods his head and moves his mouth back and forth, meaning they were talking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chief loses his patience, "If they were having such a great time, who was driving the stupid bus then?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The monkey cheerfully swings his arms to the sides as if grabbing a wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digg.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif" width="91" height="17" alt="Digg!" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-3974568751082656358?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/3974568751082656358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=3974568751082656358' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3974568751082656358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3974568751082656358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_3751.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-5484080723527719720</id><published>2007-08-29T02:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T02:53:26.330-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

The shortcomings in others that frustrate you the most are able to do so because they resonate with similar shortcomings in your own life. Make improvements in your own attitude and behavior, and you'll see corresponding improvements in those around you. Focus your own thoughts on the positive possibilities, and others will pick up on and emulate that focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop searching for blame and start mending what's broken. Stop seeking to judge and start putting your values into positive, productive action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your influence is far greater than you now realize. Use that influence wisely, to build, to grow, and to improve everything with which you are connected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every achievement, every injustice, every inspiration, every frustration that you notice has something to teach you about yourself. Learn the lessons well, apply them with true commitment, and you'll change your world as well as yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set a shining example with the way you live each day. For life is watching and busily following along with your every move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Air conditioner trouble&lt;br /&gt;A salesman for a mobile home dealership had a customer call him about this problem: The customer called and said she was having problems with her air conditioner.

He stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going back to look by the side of the road since even if he couldn't find his own gas cap, he might be able to find one that fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure enough, he hadn't been searching long when he found a gas cap. He tried it on, and it went into place with a satisfying click.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Great," David thought, "I lost my gas cap, but I found another one that fits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And this one's even better because it locks."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digg.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif" width="91" height="17" alt="Digg!" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-7415689724851389242?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/7415689724851389242/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=7415689724851389242' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/7415689724851389242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/7415689724851389242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_27.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-7987010438620934956</id><published>2007-08-26T23:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-26T23:56:55.430-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Yet the big issue is that you are. You are alive and aware, intelligent and capable, curious and adaptable, with the ability to feel and to experience an endless stream of wonder and wisdom. There are so many implications and possibilities that it is impossible to ever imagine them all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet you do indeed imagine. And whatever you imagine begins to take life when it first forms deep within you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world that surrounds you may sometimes appear to be randomly cruel and oppressive. The situations in which you find yourself may seem painful and unbearable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step back, though, and consider how truly magnificent is the fact that you are, and that you can know it. Realize that you can find joyful purpose in the darkest corners, and blessed fulfillment in transcending the most difficult challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are life, you are love, you are kindness and purpose and joy, and the living expression of the best you can imagine.

It is just as easy to be happy. Being miserable will nourish and support your ego. Being happy will bring peace and fulfillment to your spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being miserable can be very dramatic, complicated and sophisticated. It can make you appear quite impressive to other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being happy, on the other hand, is an expression of simplicity and freedom and joy. Chances are, others could be suspicious or resentful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have chosen to be miserable, it will require a great deal of energy and effort to maintain that state of misery. By contrast, when you choose happiness, that happiness actually brings additional energy and positive passion to your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The choice between happiness and misery is one you make in each moment, over and over again, day after day. Whether you're happy or whether you're miserable is completely up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two Gas Men&lt;br /&gt;Two gas men were out checking meters in a residential neighborhood one day.

At the last house, a woman watched from her kitchen window as they checked her meter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally finishing their work, the older man, a supervisor, challenged the younger man, his trainee, to a race back to their truck, wanting to prove that an older man could still beat a younger man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They raced back to the truck, with the supervisor holding a lead, when they noticed that the woman from the last house was racing up behind them.

LAUGHTER!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, no joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the best exercise there is for your facial muscles, belly, heart and circulatory system, immune system, nervous system, endocrine system, digestion. It's the easiest (and most fun!) way to lose weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laughing just 15 minutes a day will reduce your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, reduce your pain levels, and use up enough calories to shave off 5 pounds a year of extra weight -- all while shaping up your abdominal muscles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Better yet, you don't even have to try! Statistically, the average American adult already laughs 15 times a day. Children beat us hands-down at 200 times a day. Is this a hint to take yourself a little less seriously?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here`s something else about laughter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It has been scientifically proven that your body cannot tell the difference between pretend laughter and spontaneous laughter," writes Dr. Kataria in his book, Laugh for No Reason. "Pretend laughter becomes genuine through eye contact and the contagious nature of laughter."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Twain understood the need for laughter when he wrote: "The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that's laughter. The moment it arises, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Mary Pickford&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the daily motivator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ready and willing&lt;br /&gt;In every experience of disillusionment is the small seed of hope. In every disappointment is the initial stirring of determination. That small tinge of hope, which makes the disillusionment possible, will grow if you let it. From utter despair can come brilliant success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What sets you back also sets the stage for you to move forward. What appears completely hopeless gives you more reason than ever to hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The darkness gives your light a space in which it can be seen, and made use of, and appreciated, and truly valued. The challenges give you fertile territory in which to make a positive difference and a valuable contribution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what is in your past, you now have the opportunity to create the future of your choice. Everything depends on which way you decide to look, and in which direction you make the commitment to move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This very moment can be the greatest opportunity you've ever known. When you are ready and willing, the possibilities are yours to follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A minister was completing a Temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world,I'd take it and pour it into the river."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sermon complete, he sat down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For our closing song,let us sing Hymn#365, "Shall We Gather at the River."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-3356179227003345577?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/3356179227003345577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=3356179227003345577' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3356179227003345577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3356179227003345577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_24.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-1151150469026724440</id><published>2007-08-23T23:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-23T23:29:20.206-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

There are so many possibilities. Will you focus so heavily on your fears that you create and empower the very things you fear? Or will you fill yourself with positive visions that your awareness and actions can then bring to life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The expectations you have carry a great amount of power. So choose today to expect the best you can imagine in every situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your thoughts attract people, objects and circumstances that closely match those thoughts. Be sure to make them peaceful, positive and empowering thoughts, and they'll be faithfully reflected in your world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way you see things determines what you see, and what you see determines the substance that your life creates. Make it a meaningful, fulfilling substance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reality of this day will come largely from the way you think, feel, learn, respond, observe and act.

Make the commitment to make it happen, and you'll start working your way through the details. Don't get bogged down speculating on how something will come about. Instead, get started on the best approach you have, and follow the path wherever it may lead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When traveling along a road, you can never see the entire road at once, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is successfully making your way through the portion of the road that is right in front of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work through the things that are to be done right now, and you'll put yourself in position to handle the things that come along later. Travel down this section of the road, and you'll then be able to travel the next section, and the next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you put all your energy into worrying about every little detail of how to reach your goal, you won't ever get started. Instead, put your energy into reminding yourself why you have chosen to go there, and then do whatever it takes along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll never know precisely how something is to be done until you actually do it. So go ahead, get started, and discover your own unique pathway to achievement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After watching that imbecile on television who claims to know what common household pets are thinking, it was decided that we too, would do the impossible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dog "They keep putting the lid down on the big water bowl."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goldfish "Just because I have a three-second memory, they don't think I'll mind eating the same fish flakes over and over...............

Smile, and you cannot avoid being more positive toward life. Smile as you speak, and your voice will be more confident, enthusiastic and convincing.

Give a smile to others, and you instantly improve the quality of each encounter.

Take a look around, and you'll see that the most successful and fulfilled people are those who smile the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when you can't think of a reason to smile, smile anyway.

Another way is to get ok with it all. Stress becomes more stressful the more you fight against it. Keep in mind, though, that you don't have to fight it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can actually choose to welcome and accept whatever is going on. As soon as you do, you put yourself in a position of power and control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By accepting the stressful situation instead of running away or fighting, you give yourself more positive options. You become able to make use of whatever is going on and to direct it toward a worthwhile purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accepting the presence of a difficult situation does not mean that you're in favor of it having it continue. It means that you're ready to clearly see and deal with reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of making the stress worse by fighting it, step calmly and confidently forward to make the best of it. Choose not to let it get to you, and you'll be able to accomplish so very much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farmer Joe was in his car when he was hit by a truck. He decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?" said the lawyer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farmer Joe responded, "Well I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the...." "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question." "Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farmer Joe said, "Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road...." The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her.

There is ample space to dream, to envision, and to grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To act as if you already know everything is to deny yourself all the good things that are yet to be imagined and discovered.

All the seemingly separate aspects of life are tightly intertwined. When setting priorities and making choices, consider the whole of life. Attempting to play off one thing against another will never work for very long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you shortchange one part of your life, other things suffer. When you work to add value somewhere in your world, that value is reflected in other places too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, the good, sincere, authentic things you do will exhibit their influence throughout your world. There's a way to live through each experience that will enhance and improve all the other experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of your decisions not as discreet events, but rather as interrelated expressions of who you truly are. Realize that each action has an influence that spreads far beyond its original context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live as though the universe is connected to itself in ways that you cannot begin to imagine. Know that what you do is not just for here and now, that it contributes everywhere and always to the whole of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duck Hunt&lt;br /&gt;TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN: ABSOLUTELY A TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin It's mid-winter; and of course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guysgo out on the ice with their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They decide they want to make a natural-looking open water for the ducks to focus on, something for the decoys to float in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is going to take a little more power than the average drill auger can produce. So,out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a short 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might slip on theice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and becoming toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following course of action:They light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the NAVIGATOR, the GUNS, and the DOG...???Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING; especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it: The dog takes off across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb scream and holler at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his Master, keeps coming. One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loadedwith #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and ofcourse terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, UNDER the brand new Navigator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The men continue to scream as they run.

Wandering about, he notices a hungry-looking leopard heading rapidly in his direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poodle thinks, "Oh, oh!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That poodle nearly had me!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back so you can watch me chew that poodle to bits!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and waits until they get just close enough to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where's that monkey?" the poodle says, "I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-484978603266910434?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/484978603266910434/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=484978603266910434' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/484978603266910434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/484978603266910434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_18.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-3570571989656886901</id><published>2007-08-16T22:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-16T22:18:24.783-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Take the opportunity to do so. There's one little corner of the world where you can make a difference right now. Go ahead and be the person to make that difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One little corner may not seem like much. One little corner may not appear to be worth the trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet when you get things working well in that one little corner, something wonderful happens.

Start right now by improving one little corner, and you're on your way to change the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People in the airline industry aren't all serious...&lt;br /&gt;1. On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude And will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Heard on a Southwest Airline flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if You can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, alone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as heck everything has shifted."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."&lt;br /&gt;11. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was Quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline." He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no,Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or Were we shot down?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the attendant came on the horn, " Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we Hope you'll think of US Airways."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude the Captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to flight number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOD! Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I Scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-3570571989656886901?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/3570571989656886901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=3570571989656886901' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3570571989656886901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/3570571989656886901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_16.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-4750691575988972726</id><published>2007-08-15T22:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-15T22:41:02.387-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more.

Fortunately, so can a positive attitude. One of the biggest challenges of staying positively focused can come from the negative people who cross your path. Yet instead of letting them get you down, you can choose to lift them up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone is rude to you, the most powerful response is not to reply with your own rudeness. After all, what would that accomplish?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your best choice in such a situation is to respond with courtesy, kindness, consideration and understanding. Though it may seem strange and unnatural at first, it can have a profoundly positive impact on the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people, when given the chance, will be glad for you to rescue them from their own negative momentum. When you come across someone who is clearly in a bad mood, you have the opportunity to be the best part of that person's day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seize that opportunity and make the most of it. When you give a little kindness, it can make a big, big difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomatoes&lt;br /&gt;A small boy was looking at the red ripe tomatoes growing in the farmer's garden.

What are your dreams, and are you doing anything about attaining them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seriously began looking at my life – maybe it was an early midlife crisis of sorts – around age 37. I realized that what I was doing had nothing to do with what I had dreamed about as a younger man. But what could I do about it? A large step for me was getting my degree from Albright at age 41. The degree brought forth a realization that with a goal in mind, you can do anything you set your mind to. I was told I was wasting my time pursuing that goal. I had a well-paying job at a steel mill. Why did I need to waste time on education?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My answer is that the most important asset any of us have is our mind, and as soon as we stop learning, we stop living. I am a life-long learner and will never stop my self education. For me, the attainment of my degree was a doorway to a new life. It wasn’t so much the degree itself but the belief in myself that it restored. After a time, I decided to really open the doors wide and seize life with both hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16 months ago when I told my manager I was giving two weeks’ notice, and I planned on making a living as a writer, it was the scariest moment of my life. I had spent 14 years climbing the corporate ladder and was almost halfway to retirement. When he asked if I was sure I knew what I was doing, I could only answer, “Not really.” I didn’t know what I was getting into and, to be honest, I still don’t. My days are an edventure. I didn’t misspell that. Every day is a marriage between education and adventure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished writing my first novel, Someone Else’s Tomorrow – A Tale of Transformation, and the high I got from seeing it for sale on Amazon was like climbing Mount Everest and planting my flag. My edventure is continuing. Next year I have plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with my friend Werner Berger, who just returned from climbing Everest at the ripe young age of 69. He welcomed me into his life and we became business partners. It’s never too late to pursue your dreams, and you never know where they are going to lead you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important things in life are investing in yourself and living the life you were meant to lead. Think about the things that make you happy or the dreams you had for your life when you were young and your thoughts weren’t limited by the naysayers and dream stealers. What is holding you back from chasing those dreams or living that life? You don’t have to quit your job or jump off a cliff. Maybe the education you need to do the things you dream of is available at college, a ‘trade’ school, or an art institute. Maybe you just need to find a mentor or a master to apprentice with. Maybe you need a life coach to help guide you on your journey. Perhaps the spark you need can be found in an inspirational book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look back at the journey I have taken in the past year, and it makes me catch my breath. Is my destiny to be the writer I dreamt of in elementary school or is it to change the world? Or both? I don’t know. All I do know is the past year has been the most fantastic year of my life, and I think it is only going to get better from here on out. I’ve heard many times that when God closes a door he opens a window. I think when we decide to close our own doors; God opens the universe for us. Robert Britt is a writer and entrepreneur.

It is for those who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action" Authors Preface&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith..................that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will get rich, for the science herein applied is an exact science and failure is impossible" Authors preface&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty."  Chapter 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You must begin to live in harmony with the laws governing the universe" Chapter 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is a law of gratitude, and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law if you are to get the results you seek"  Chapter 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You must know what you want and be specific and definite."  Chapter 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects.

If the people in your life seem too greedy and selfish, that's the time to be extra loving, giving and sincerely compassionate. When the world seems a bit too confused and aimless, be extra focused and purposeful. For the world outside will soon reflect back to you the energy you give it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't like what you see, you have the opportunity to change it by changing the way you are. If there is darkness all around you, that's an opportunity for you to shine your own special light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even a small beacon in the darkness will shine for a long, long way. Choose to be the difference that makes a real difference, and your efforts will bear abundant fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When things around you seem to be at their worst, that's when you can accomplish the most by being your best. That's when you can truly make a valuable, much-needed positive difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When trouble and confusion surround you, see the situation as the opportunity that it is.

I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The driver of a nearby car gave me a startled look.

It would be much easier to let yourself be enslaved by the opinions of others, by your desire for comfort and familiarity, or by your quest for empty sensations. Yet freedom it well worth the effort. For it makes a whole world of wonderful things possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True freedom demands that you think for yourself and live with an authentic, meaningful purpose that is uniquely you. Those things require effort, commitment, creativity and persistence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If freedom is to endure in your life, it must be supported by your own responsibility. For without responsibility, freedom quickly decays into meaningless anarchy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom can be intimidating, because it constantly asks you to make decisions. Yet that is also what makes freedom so liberating, for it gives you the power to choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have within you the desire, the ability and the strength to live with freedom. Choose freedom, nourish and support it, and that freedom will bring real richness to your world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;Would you like me to help you upstairs?&lt;br /&gt;A good samaritan was walking home late one night when he came upon this drunk on the sidewalk. Wanting to help, he asked the drunk "do you live here?" "Yep". "Would you like me to help you upstairs?" "Yep". When they got up on the second floor, the good person asked "Is this your floor?" "Yep".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the good samaritan got to thinking that maybe he didn't want to face the man's irate and tired wife because she may think he was the one who got the man drunk. So, he opened the first door he came to and shoved him through it then went back downstairs. However, when he went back outside, there was another drunk. So he asked that drunk "Do you live here?" "Yep". "Would you like me to help you upstairs?" "Yep". So he did and put him in the same door with the first drunk. Then went back downstairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where, to his surprise, there was another drunk. So he started over to him. But before he got to him, the drunk staggered over to a policeman and cried "Please officer, protect me from this man."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He's been doing nothing all night long but taking me upstairs and throwing me down the elevator shaft!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-2280827273141388771?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/2280827273141388771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=2280827273141388771' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/2280827273141388771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/2280827273141388771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_09.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-5289300047690914247</id><published>2007-08-08T22:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-08T22:57:40.601-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Accept more of the opportunities that come your way and your best possibilities will be more fully realized.It can be intimidating and uncomfortable to go off in a direction you've never traveled before. Ultimately, though, the sting of regret for not following an opportunity is much more painful than the discomfort of pushing yourself into unfamiliar territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fullness of life comes to those who choose to truly live it.

Yet there is much to be gained by following the best of the possibilities that offer themselves to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life's magnificent abundance is experienced by those who are willing to eagerly jump into it. To know great and wonderful things, you must make yourself available to live your way through them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose to say yes a little bit more often.

The wedding vows went like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be held against you, you have the right to have an attorney present. You may kiss the bride."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarge &amp; the new recruits&lt;br /&gt;One day, a sergeant of long service standing was trying to teach a bunch of raw recruits how to handle the rifle. The rookies were firing hither and yon and finally one of them shot the sarge in the seat of his breeches.

Failure is an important component of success.Suppose you set an objective, take action, and then fail to reach that objective on the first attempt. Even though you have experienced a failure, you're in much better shape than you were before you started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because you've just learned, in a compelling and meaningful way, what doesn't work. And that puts you well on the way to finding what does work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The greatest achievements of all time are built upon multiple failures. The greatest achievers are those who are willing to experience failure on their way to the success they know will most certainly come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one sets out with the intention of failing. Yet when failure comes, it is nothing to be ashamed of, and no reason to give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn to see failure as just another step in the process of success. And even when the failures come, they will serve to move you forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;Police News Headlines&lt;br /&gt;- Police begin campaign to run down jaywalkers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Safety Experts say school bus passengers should be belted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Drunk gets nine months in violin case&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Juvenile court to try shooting defendant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Killer sentenced to die for second time in 10 years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Drunken drivers paid $1000 in '84&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Stolen Painting Found By Tree&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Judge To Rule On Nude Beach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Police Discover Crack In Australia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Men Recommend More Clubs For Wives&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Two Convicts Evade Noose; Jury Hung&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Deaf mute gets new hearing in killing&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7379736333053958390-6345661461783047395?l=positive1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/feeds/6345661461783047395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7379736333053958390&amp;postID=6345661461783047395' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6345661461783047395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7379736333053958390/posts/default/6345661461783047395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positive1000.blogspot.com/2007/08/positive-thought-for-day_06.html' title='Positive Thought for the day'/><author><name>christev</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191625564895742739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379736333053958390.post-4586819685337424525</id><published>2007-08-05T23:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-05T23:55:07.125-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><title type='text'>Positive Thought for the day</title><content type='html'>I will be trying to put Postivities on daily.

Acceptance will put you on that positive path.Fighting against negativity only produces more negativity. Yet when you accept what is, no matter how terrible and difficult it may be, you put yourself in a position to start changing it for the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acceptance does not mean giving in or giving up. It means moving on, as in moving on ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is simply no point in fighting battles which have already been lost, nor is there any point in allowing the loss to continue to slow you down. The smart strategy is to accept it and then put all your energy toward a positive pursuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acceptance does not mean allowing others to take advantage of you. It simply means that you look realistically at what has happened and allow yourself to see the positive opportunities that are most certainly there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you accept what is, you are free to move positively forward. Once you quit fighting, you are free to start achieving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Ralph Marston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke&lt;br /&gt;FHA Loan&lt;br /&gt;A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loan for a client. He was told that the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the lawyer three months to track down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After sending the information to FHA, he received the following reply: "Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared the Title to the proposed collateral property back to the year 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Your letter regarding Titles in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have Titles extended further than the 194 years covered by the present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the property arena, would not know that Louisiana was purchased by the U.S. from France in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain. The land came into possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the then reigning monarch, Isabella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The good queen, being a pious woman and careful about titles, almost as much as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to fund Columbus' expedition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Now the Pope, as I'm sure you know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And God, it is commonly accepted, created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that He also made that part of the world called Louisiana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I hope you are satisfied.

If you wish to be joyful, successful and fulfilled, put yourself around those who live with positive purpose.The more energy you put into complaining about how bad things are, the more things you'll have to complain about. The more intensely you visualize how good things can be, the better they will become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are naturally drawn to whatever you focus upon. You will see precisely the opportunities and possibilities that you prepare yourself to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each day is filled with so many choices and directions that you cannot possibly connect to them all. The ones you do connect with are the ones that most closely resonate with your view of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, you can choose to view life in whatever way you wish. Those who find the best in life are those who continually remind themselves that all the good and valuable things are most certainly there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See your life as a grand opportunity for love and joy, achievement and fulfillment.
