Compliment

Sometimes the hardest thing to hear

and to Accept is a compliment.

We tend to be guarded, Possibly because

we have been hurt by words in The past.

We fight the urge to believe the praise;

It simply can't be true.

The truth is compliments should be

embraced And welcomed.

They're an intangible gift,a Confirmation

of a job well done.

Others may see Great changes happening

to you and they want to Let you know.

Respond with a smile and a simple

Thank you.

You deserve to be flattered, so accept it,

and Enjoy it!

LAUGHTER IS CHEAP MEDICINE

I know a couple who works in the pharmaceutical industry. He is a

Sales representative and she is a pharmacist. When asked what they do

For a living, he is quick to reply, "She makes drugs and I sell them."

I believe it was Lord Byron who said, "Always laugh when you can. It

Is cheap medicine." And they're finding that to be true - quite

Literally.

A woman diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis wrote to me and talked

About how painful the disease had become. Debra said that no drugs

Would touch the devastating pain. "At times I prayed to die because I

Did not think I could go on this way," she said. But in two and a half

Years she weaned herself from most of her medication, which had

Reached a high of 21 pills a day. This is how she did it.

"I began seeing a doctor who gave me the most important prescription

That I ever could have received," she said. "He excused himself from

The room. I watched him walking back and forth in the hall; he seemed

To be in deep though t."

The doctor came back in with this prescription: he told Debra to get

Some funny movies and to begin laughing. If she didn't feel like

Laughing, then she should smile. If she didn't feel like smiling, she

Should smile anyway! He said that it would increase endorphins in her

Brain and help with her pain.

She did just as he suggested. She smiled constantly. Her children Teased her about the fake smile, but she told them that it was going To get rid of her pain. And it did. Of course, not all of her pain is Gone, but her newly acquired habit of laughing and smiling has made it Manageable without all of the drugs.

Today, Debra is never seen without her smile. She says that she would

Not even feel normal without it.

Laughter really is cheap medicine. And it's a prescription you can Fill right now.

What is Hope...

Hope is knowing that a positive outcome awaits.

Hope is not only expecting a dream to come true,

But also having a deep assurance

That it's within your reach.

Hope is saying you can.

Hope is knowing that you can improve

And that you always get better with practice.

Hope is knowing that you can achieve your goals

Through hard work and persistence.

Hope is looking to the future with joy

And having an expectation of

Better things to come.

Hope is the knowledge that life is everlasting,

And that miracles happen every day.

Hope is something that never abandons you.

Even when your life is filled with

Sadness and disappointment,

A spark remains inside to help you

Get through the rough times.

Hope is one of God's greatest gifts to you,

Because it's the magic that inspires you

To keep trying, learning, loving, and living.

Beyound Stuck

You are capable of much more than just getting by. You have
It in you to prosper and to triumph.

If you feel stuck where you are, that means your dreams
Haven't been big enough or meaningful enough to push you
Persistently forward. Use that uncomfortable feeling of
Being stuck as motivation to expand and to solidly connect
With your most authentic dreams.

Take full responsibility for what you've done and for where
You are. Then take full responsibility and make the
Commitment to fulfill your most valuable and treasured
Possibilities.

Painful circumstances and periods of misfortune can be very
Difficult, but they're not what have held you back. What has
Held you back is that you've chosen to ignore or discount
Your most compelling reasons for moving forward.

If you feel stuck, that means you are ready. That means you
Know deep within that you must do whatever it takes to bring
Your dreams to life.

Reach inside, touch your true dreams, feel your authentic
Purpose, and step boldly forward. There's no reason to be
Stuck for one moment longer.

Never Too Late

It is never too late to live with richness, purpose, joy and love.

No matter how much time you feel you have wasted or lost,

It is never too late to make the very most of the moment you're in.

No matter how many mistakes you may think you have made,

It is never too late to start moving in a positive direction.

The instant you choose to fully live,

The past no longer has the power to hold you back.

Where you are now is precisely where you need to be.

With gratitude in your heart for the journey that has brought you here,

Choose now to make the most of where you are.

Starting from this place you can go in any direction.

It is never too late to choose the very best direction you can imagine.

Dig down and get in touch with the real substance of your most treasured dreams.

For what matters most is always within your reach.

Move right on past the disappointments, the frustrations,

The regrets and the negative assumptions you have accumulated.

It is never too late to fully become the real, authentic, unique and valuable person you are.
