YOUR WELL ZONE

Being HUMBLE does not mean thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of others more. Humility requires much strength and courage, to resist the temptation to prove ourselves right, but instead to lead with what is for the highest good of all involved in our situations!

KEEP THE WEEDS OF NEGATIVE INFLUENCE FROM YOUR LIFE. "Farm" the seeds of constructive influence. DON"T join an easy crowd, you won't grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform and act appropriately are high.

Fear is a feeling we all experience. We should feel fear as an emotion guiding us to stay safe. When fear grips us, try and focus on the solution, not the problem. Love this quote: Don't tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big God is! Then bring it all to him for your solutions.

It is confirmed that laughter releases great feel good chemicals into the brain. What we put into our thoughts matters! Pay attention to what makes us smile and laugh, and do that more!

To be lovingly truthful with someone, we need to know when to speak and when to keep quiet; as well as the courage to face the outcome of the confrontation. Sometimes our best efforts are met with anger, denial and avoidance. At these times, pray for guidance and try to be patient. Know that God is working with us to keep our good intentions in the forefront.

Would you rather be RIGHT or would you rather be KIND? Let go of the need to be the authority. Let go of the need to challenge another's opinion. Tension leads to stress, kindness leads to love.

Just finished a book by Ken Blanchard called The On Time, On Target Manager. One of my favorite sections: PROPRIETY: BILL OF RIGHTS Do the right thing Do it for the right reasons Do it with the right people Do it at the right time Do it in the right order order Do it with intensity Do it for the right results

Thinking positively and imagining your better future is a great place to start. But what's next? Is that future a reality? What are the obstacles standing in the way? Breaking down the actions that address those obstacles will activate your best actions to move forward. Visualizing, then moving into action helps create the habits that will move you toward that goal.

Visualize your success. Picture yourself accomplishing what you want to achieve. Pay attention to how good you feel. See it as if it is already achieved. Don't concern yourself with how it will happen. That will be revealed to you in time. Just build the habit of visualizing it and smiling!

There's a place of renewal and happiness within you. All you need to do to reach it is withdraw your attention from the outside world and focus on the strength and the energy inside yourself, given by God. I call this prayer!

Knowledge without action is useless. The virtue of FORTITUDE requires bravery, courage and perserverence. It is easy to do good and be kind and honest when the consequences are small. It takes fortitude, a tougher mindset, when things are hard.

How you spend your time directly reveals what you value most. Think about this intentionally as you begin this next 365 days. You can do things in your specific sphere of influence that not a single other person can do like you. You are important, and have influence on those watching you. Be aware of this and be a blessing!

Embrace Lifelong Learning You will be the same person five years from now as you are today, except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read. This quote resonates deeply with me. It reminds us of the power of learning and connection. Lifelong learning is not just a phrase; it’s a way of life. When we open ourselves to new experiences, we grow. We become more adaptable and open-minded. So, how can we embrace this journey of learning? Let’s explore some practic

Happiness is conditional...it is based off of conditions and based on circumstances. Joy is a confident trust...always rooted in confidence and always comes as a consequence. The depth and permanence of our joy can only be as deep and permanent as the source...God ranks #1 here for me.

Try to always be conscious of who you really are. Cultivate your divine essence. That will always bring out the best in you.

The FLIGHT, not the CALL of the wild goose, is what causes others to follow. It is so true! Our actions, our behaviors ultimately are much more inspiring. So we should strive to have our words and our actions match.

"God loves that person as much as he loves me." That is a phrase I try and say to myself throughout the day. It makes stress melt away when someone has offended me. It also helps me send out love to all those who cross my path. Try it the next time someone rubs you the wrong way. Say to yourself, "God loves that person as much as He loves me." Then watch what happens. :)

Cheerfulness brings sunlight for the mind, filling it with calm and reassurance, and lasts far longer than amusement's quick frantic burst.

As a happy person I remove blame from my life. I realize that the person I am is the result of every choice that I've ever made in my life. My personal well-being is solely my responsibility, no one else's. I stop the blame. I am more accountable. I make better feeling choces. Jim Ryans Ah Ha moments

Don't let a day go by without spending some time in nature. Take advantage of the early sunrise. Experience the early morning sights, sounds and fragrances. Everything is fresh. Listen to the beautiful songs of he birds...my favs! Relax for a moment or two and take it all in!
