Appearances fool us into thinking that we and

the people in our life are defective or evil, and

others seek to use or hurt us at the first

opportunity.

We have been programmed to see life

as a sea of troubles,

When instead it is an

ocean of possibilities!

Your life is not a problem to be solved, but an

adventure to be enjoyed.

You are doing better

than you think!

The problem

comes when

looking good

becomes so

important that

you stop

feeling good.

Any fool can make things

bigger, more complex,

and more violent.

It takes a touch of genius-

and a lot of courage-to

move in the opposite

direction. –Albert Einstein

Looking good doesn’t always lead to

feeling good.

Feeling good always leads to

looking good.

Life is what you make it.

Surround yourself with positivity and

people who care about your well-being.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY

By convincing you that you have a problem, they

get to keep theirs and all the sick rewards that

accompany a “poor me” mentality.

You can

fulfill your

dreams with

or without

supportive

parents or a

spouse.

You are capable of nurturing yourself and

drawing nurturing people around you.

No matter what has happened in the past, your

are now in a position to make self-honoring

choices.

Listen to beautiful music;

Read your favorite book;

Laugh with your partner;

Cuddle up with your kids;

Step outside and gaze at the moon and stars;

Take a short walk;

Pet your dog or cat;

Smile at everyone you encounter;

Celebrate.

Gratitude for what you have is the strongest most

effective emotion you can own.

If something keeps happening to you over and over again, with different people in different places…

the only thing in common is YOU.

It is more attractive to blame your problems on the outside world than to accept responsibility for

your role in your experience.

• Upgrade your attitude.

– Complaining:

• The focus on what you don’t want rather than what you do want

• Talking about what is wrong rather than what is right

• Get on your own team.

• Invest in your soul, and you will reap mega-returns.

Try to see yourself and other people for “who they are” not just “how they look”.

In December 1999, the car in which Jacqueline was riding was hit by

another car that was driven by a 17-year old male student on his way

home after drinking a couple of hard packs with his friends.

Jacqueline is Jacqueline on the inside- she now has to fight with your

misperceptions about her based on her outside.

There are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though

nothing is a miracle.

The other is as

though everything

is a miracle. –Albert Einstein

Your job is not to make

things happen, but to let the

movie roll -- it’s a two

thumbs up flick with an

ending you will love.

The more you

acknowledge that well-

being abounds, the more

well-being you enjoy.

Don’t get fooled by appearances

Feel great on the inside and you will shine on the outside
