Many people are so poor that the only thing they have is money. Cultivate your spiritual growth.

Every day, you get the opportunity to change your life. Change what you do not want. Change what makes you unhappy.

Take responsibility for your own happiness, do not expect people or things to bring you happiness, or you could be disappointed.

Learn to love someone when they least deserve it, because that is when they need your love most.

Erase from your vocabulary the word __omeday._ Do not save things for __pecial occasions._ Take into account the fact that every day is special. Every day is a gift that we must appreciate and be thankful for. Wear your attractive clothes, wear your nice perfume, use your fine silverware and dishes, and drink from your expensive crystal glasses _ just because. Live every day to the fullest and savor every minute of it.

It may take little time to get where you want to be, but if you pause and think for a moment, you will notice that you are no longer where you were. Do not stop__eep going.

For some people, their fear to lose is greater than their desire to succeed, so they end up doing nothing and their dreams become impossible.

Erase self-doubt by working to build your strengths instead of focusing on your weaknesses.

Cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make possible what others think is impossible.

When you experience a negative circumstance or event, do not dwell on it. Be proactive _ put your attention on what you need to do to bring the situation to a positive result.

Learn to adapt. Things change, circumstances change. Adjust yourself and your efforts to what it is presented to you so you can respond accordingly. Never see change as a threat, because it can be an opportunity to learn, to grow, evolve and become a better person.

Do not sit still; start moving now. In the beginning, you may not go in the direction you want, but as long as you are moving, you are creating alternatives and possibilities.

Do not empower your negative thoughts by giving them __egs_ so they can run around your mind, creating worries,frustrations, and anxiety in your life.

Criticism is just someone else__ opinion. Even people who are experts in their _lds are sometimes wrong. It is up to you to choose whether to believe some of it, none of it, or all of it. What you think is what counts.
