Today Can Be Your Greatest Day. So Far

May 16, 2011

“If you want to lend today the distinction of being the greatest day in your life, focus on what you are better able to do today. Maybe your learning comes a little easier; maybe you handle a difficult situation with more maturity; maybe you find that you’ve gotten into some positive new habit that was a struggle for you before. When you build today upon everything you’ve learned and done before, each day stands above the ones that preceded it. Each day can be the greatest day. So far”    Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

“Love your fellow as yourself”—Leviticus 19:18

We’ve all heard this many times. First you must love yourself? Who would want your love if you don’t? Too many of us are too busy not loving ourselves to be able to love others. It starts with recognizing and constantly reminding yourself that you are valuable and matter. Your life has purpose and meaning. Someone or many need the love that you should have for yourself.

Who’s The Boss

May 11, 2011
How often have you heard your inner voice say after you’ve done something you regret (perhaps again) “I can’t help it”.   Take charge.  You know you are better than that.   Answer that negative inner voice with the positive one that says “Of course I can. I know I can.  I am the boss of me” 

“The entire purpose of our existence is to overcome our negative habits” –Vilna Gaon

Laugh At Yourself

May 10, 2011

One of the most important things you can do in reframing all your thoughts to the positive is to begin by having a sense of humor about yourself. We are all too hard on ourselves.

There are enough opponents and challenges thrown our way without making ourselves one of them. If we can laugh at ourselves, we can laugh at all the other challengers.

 “As long as you can laugh at yourself you will never cease to be amused”. — Unknown
