Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Small Efforts Often Bring Big Moments of Happiness

by

“It only takes $5 spent on others to make you happier on a given day, according to a 2008 study. And selfless acts can also help your marriage become a more enjoyable experience for you and your spouse. After performing good deeds, people are happier and feel their life has more purpose.” Source

NOTE: The gift doesn’t have to be monetary. It can be as simple as being present to another and actively listening to them. Yesterday, at the gym, a friend and I were talking about electric lawnmowers. He was thinking of buying one. When I went home I texted a photo of my electric lawnmower to him as well as the online information of where I purchased it. He was grateful and I felt I like did a good deed.The cost? A bit of time. I’m grateful for him for giving me an opportunity to help out.

Poem of the Day ~ If You Knew

If You Knew

Ruth Muskrat Bronson

If you could know the empty ache of loneliness,
          Masked well behind the calm indifferent face
Of us who pass you by in studied hurriedness,
          Intent upon our way, lest in the little space
Of one forgetful moment hungry eyes implore
          You to be kind, to open up your heart a little more,
I’m sure you’d smile a little kindlier, sometimes,
          To those of us you’ve never seen before.

If you could know the eagerness we’d grasp
          The hand you’d give to us in friendliness;
What vast, potential friendship in that clasp
          We’d press, and love you for your gentleness;
If you could know the wide, wide reach
          Of love that simple friendliness could teach,
I’m sure you’d say “Hello, my friend,” sometimes, 
          And now and then extend a hand in friendliness to each.

Power Thought of the Day ~ Choose Your Friends Wisely

by

“I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”

George Bernard Shaw
NOTE: No matter how right we may be, there are those who refuse to recognize anything other than their own thoughts. Better to leave them alone and to hang out with people who are filled with hope, optimism, and overflow with compassion and kindness. 

Positive Thought of the Day ~ It’s the Finish Line that Counts

by

“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.”

Nido Qubein

NOTE: It’s not the starting line that counts, it is the finish line. Work hard, never quit, and never miss an opportunity to be kind. You’ll achieve more than you can ever imagine.

Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Let Hope Fill Your Life

by

“Hope implies that there is the possibility of a better future, according to the famed hope researcher C.R. Snyder. It shows up at the worst possible time when things are dire and difficult, but can keep us going during those hard moments. If during the difficulty, we can see the faint glimmer of something better, then hope “opens us up,” says Barbara Fredrickson, a positive psychology researcher. And turn us toward something better.”

NOTE: Hope is the fuel that gets us out of bed in the morning and excited about our day. It rises from our deep believe that good triumphs over evil, things will work out well for us, and no matter the turmoil we’re surrounded in, it will end well and we will land on our feet. There are signs of hope all around us. Each time I see new life I see it as a sign of hope. Each time I witness an act of kindness, I see it as a sign of hope.
