Happiness Is A Decision You Make in Advance
A 92-year old, petite, well poised and proud man – who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind – moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.  After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when he was told he room was ready.  As he manuevered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the

Start Your Day Off With the Right Mental Attitude
I know a man who, if he happens to forget something in the morning and is obliged to run back for it and perhaps is late at his office, will fret and stew, curse and swear, not realizing that he is poisoning his mind, getting himself out of time, and totally unfitting himself for the day’s work.

To Receive Love You Have to Give Love
Many people are disappointed because they have so little love in their lives.  I have heard one woman say that she does not believe there is any such thing as real unselfish love.  She has found that what she thought was love in some of her so-called friends was only self-interest, for when she was unfortunate and was not able to pay what she owed them they turned against her.

An Ineffective Way to Break Bad Habits
Some of us think the best way to break a bad habit is to taper it off.  Our mistaken idea is not to subject ourselves to the shock and strain of breaking off a habit sharply.  We think we can do better by letting go gradually.  But the real fact is that to taper off means merely to stall around with the habit until we get to going on it strong again.  Tapering off is a poor method.  It usually succeeds only in keeping the habit alive during a dull period and before it is stronger than ever. – Grove H.
