Say 'my goal today is..' and at the end of the day give thanks for what you have achieved. Live with energy, enthusiasm and empathy. Appreciate the natural world. Life is a school and we are here to learn. Arguments - accept the other persons point of view and try to learn from them. Make peace with your past so you can live positively in the present. Don't compare your life with others as you have no idea what they have travelled through. Make others smile. Only you are responsible for your happiness. Help others.

Flower - this is an EXCELLENT thread - and thank you for it. A very good and positive idea.

My goal today is... to make someone else smile, to make someone else feel that they matter.

Great words. You'e right - every day is a precious gift. We can enjoy every moment, or we can whine and complain about it. I choose to live life to its fullest. I enjoy every experience, the good and not so good. My AVM bleed almost took my life, but I got a second chance. Now life is more beautiful. Wish I knew how precious every moment is earlier in life. But I'm living it now!

Thanks for the encouragement!
