Well, instead of trying to improve yourself in 2012, here’s a challenge for you. Why not try to improve the world instead. I can hear you calling, whoa, what can I do? I’m only one individual. But I don’t mean in a global way. You can make a huge difference in your own community. If everyone made a small effort to be nicer to those around them and took more interest in their local community, there would be a lot more peace in the world.

I decided weekly resolutions would be easier to commit to than annual ones. Below are 15 suggestions of ways you could start improving the life of those around you and your own life as well. Develop a positive attitude in 2012 and start making a difference. Choose any one of the suggestions below, or create your own resolution. Focus on it for a week. You will no doubt try some of them more than once. It’s up to you. But let’s all work on making the world a better place this coming year, at the same time staying committed to our resolutions for a week at a time.

- smile at 2 or more strangers every day.

- thank a family member, friend, or work colleague for everything they do for you, no matter how small.

- clear books and magazines from your cluttered bookshelves and donate them to charity.

- drop a few coins into a donation box.

- pick up rubbish an unthoughtful person has dropped in a public place.

- say yes when someone asks you a favour.

- smile at the supermarket checkout person and thank them, no matter what their service has been like.

- offer to lessen someone’s workload.

- praise a child and encourage them when they are having difficulty.

- volunteer to do something to help in your community.

- keep critical thoughts to yourself

- donate either an hour of your time or an hour’s pay to charity.

- send someone a handwritten note of thanks or appreciation

- genuinely ask someone who has been sick how their health is.

- offer to do the garden for an elderly neighbor.

There are hundreds of ways you can make a difference to the world and improve the lives of people in your community. Choose the ones you like best. Stick with one resolution for a week. Then either choose another, or spend another week on the one you’ve been committed to.

By thinking of others you will not only make a difference to the lives of others, but you’ll feel good yourself. Kind deeds snowball. Soon you will notice others treating you the way you’ve been treating them.

Self help books are loaded with tips on how to have a positive attitude.  Self improvement classes abound, but still people are not getting the message and the stress of our lives becomes a burden.

If you are struggling to find inner peace you must ask yourself what is holding you back.  What are you being a slave to?  Are you a slave to regret?  Are you a slave to self doubt?  Are you a slave to money?  Are you a slave to being told you are not good enough?

These chains are the demons that keep us from finding inner peace and happiness.  People tend to dwell on the negative and do not celebrate the good in their life.  It is time to set yourself free. 

Start a gratitude journal.  Write down everything you are happy about.  Each day add to the journal.  The things you can celebrate might be the love you have for your family, the cat you adopted, the penny you found, or the compliment you got at work.  Dismiss the negative things from your mind or memory.  If you keep a diary rather than recording any bad events in your life, ignore them, maintain only the positive.  If you must write the negative things down to release them, do so but then destroy the paper on which they are written.

Learn to live with what you have not to dwell on wanting more.  While it is fine to want more, and to work towards getting more, you must love what you have now.  So many people were brought being told they could be this or that, and feel like failures at not even coming close to being the President.  We must not let these woes stifle our enjoyment of life.  We need to be happy for what we have, and who we are.

Put self doubt and negative thought aside.  Rid your life of toxic people, misery loves company, so when you find yourself around such people, leave them.  They only serve to stir up the demons of self doubt.

When we have found true joy in our lives, the secrets of the universe will fall into place and we can be happy.

When we are positive, we are all of these things and more.  We become what we think.  If we constantly dwell on the positive, we will become the poster-child for the positive things in life.  Even if bad things happen, we can still find something positive to cling to.  This will benefit us both immediately and in the long run. 

How many people do you know or have you seen that are over one hundred years old who have lived a negative life?  Very few.  Those people who are of advanced age who have been interviewed have all said two things that stick in my mind. 

One, “I try to find something to be happy about in everything that happens.”

Two, “I try to keep active and do something I enjoy every day.”

If we can follow these two examples of positive behaviors, we will be happier, healthier, have more friends, and enjoy life.

On the other hand:

Words that are associated with negative.
ugly, down, pain, bad, evil, nasty, rude, disgusting, rotten, depressing, sick, insult, condemn, scorn

When we are negative we bring the words listed above onto ourselves and those around us.  There are many negative people who say “What I do and say doesn’t affect anybody but me.”  How wrong they are.

Our attitude affects the words we say and the actions we take.  When others hear those words, their attitude is affected.  And our actions definitely affect others both directly and indirectly.  Therefore, our negative attitude will bring us and everyone around us down.  We will become ugly, nasty, rude, disgusting, depressing, and sick.  No one wants to be around someone like that.  What friends you have, will desert you for more positive friends.  And you will be left alone, depressed and friendless.

And the same thing happens when we are positive.  Our attitude bleeds into every part of our lives and lifts everything we do and everyone we come in contact with up.  You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.  Everyone loves a happy person. 

To be permanently happy, have a positive attitude.  Look for the good in everything and everyone.  In doing so, you will find it and you will benefit from it as will everyone around you.

The fact is. you can develop your mind to resent poverty and replace negative thoughts concerning poverty with positive ones. Below are four ways in which you can develop your mind.

Stay Ambitious

Do you always accept whatever life has to offer without challenging it? Adopt the art of challenging difficult situations.  Avoid the temptation of becoming mentally and physically lazy. Use your ambition to vanquish the fear of poverty. Being ambitious and knowing exactly what you want out of life will put you in a better position of being afraid of becoming poor.

Make your own decisions

How many times you want to do something but cannot make up your mind? Instead you allow others to determine everything that happen jn your life. By doing this, you are surrendering one precious gift that was given to you by the creator, the gift of thinking. You need to make your own decisions which will enable you to become more self determine and focused. Bear in mind that not everyone wants to see the best of you so sometimes they will lead you in the wrong direction.

Stop making excuses

Stop blaming others for your own downfall or find excuses to feel better about yourself. When there is failure be responsible and accept that you are the one to be blamed for failing. Only then will you have the courage to try again.

Create a positive mental attitude

The greatest companion the fear of poverty provided is a negative mental attitude. Stop being pessimist but instead expect that everything will go as planned. Do not avoid doing important things neither should you live beyond your means. Instead, work towards a better life and it will definitely become better.

Finally, have faith in whatever you set out to do. If your plans do not work out as you want them to, don’t give up. Don’t think about poverty, instead think about a healthy life fill with happiness and love, then slowly the fear of poverty will disappear.

hen my sons were young, they were raised extremely well by their Dad. But when they would come to visit me, I would stretch their minds. I would challenge them to think outside the box. How? With empathy….

Bri told me one day, after seeing a homeless looking man on a bench, that he did not like his shoes. I asked Bri if he had a good reason for having on the shoes he did. He said he did and told me they were free hand me downs from his brother. I then asked him if he thought the man on the bench had a good reason for wearing the shoes he did. He said he did not know.

I challenged Bri to go talk to the man and ask him. He came back and said the man was so proud to have any shoes he did not care what they looked like. Bri was sorry for his thoughts.

Lesson Learned

On the next visit to my house, Bri and I witnessed an obviously homeless cat in bad shape go across the road. Bri was very young and stated he felt sorry for that cat. I inquired why. He said because he would never know his Mom and Dad.

Bri was thinking outside the box with empathy. Mission accomplished.

Definitions

Empathy – putting yourself in the same place as someone else. For instance, if your friends are about to get married and want your advice, you should try to envision yourself as about to get married. When you do this, you are having empathy for your friends by trying to see things from their shoes, or their perspective, not your own.

Sympathy – Feeling truly sorry for someone else. Usually feelings associated with a tragic event, such as a death, or by one’s circumstances (i.e. seeing a destitute homeless person.

Psychiatrist – Mental health professional that can prescribe medications for your condition.

Psychologist – Health professional that cannot preside medications. But can help you work out any issues you have either in group sessions of individuals with like problems or on a one-on-one basis.

My Challenge to Think Outside The Box

When I was four, I learned to crochet from my grandmother. I learned the stitches one at a time. I had spend all week before the weekend she visited working on a pair of overalls for my favorite doll.

She made me take them out. She talked me through starting in the lower corner of one leg and ending up at the top. Then, with only one knot and rejoining of the thread, I completed the overalls in one afternoon. She had me thinking outside the box in spite of myself.

Do you thnink I learned to crochet outside the box? Look at my crocheting samples below. You be the judge. I was probably about five when the story above happened.

The most eventful year of my life was the fourth – 1965.

It was the last time I remember going to a drive in. My sister and I were in the folded down back part of our station wagon in our pajamas. The movie was “The Sons of Katie Elder”. Until recently I did not realize what year that movie was made – 1965.

I was deathly afraid of dogs. Terrified even. My parents bought Teresa, a standard dachshund to help me overcome my fear. I was four. She died when I was a senior in high school at age 14. I was 18 my senior year. According to the math – 1965 again.

I had trouble breathing at night which led to the removal of my tonsils. I am told I was four. I do not remember the occasion except that I ate ketchup on chicken.

I lost my left big toe to a lawnmower accident that year. There is a family polaroid of me in a wheelchair at Christmas dated December 1965.

When I was young, other kids would wonder if we had found my missing toe on the lawn. I told them I was in the hospital so long they probably disposed of it before I returned home. As an adult, people wondered if I had trouble with balance. The other comment I hear a lot is that it must have hurt my father, as he was operating the lawnmower. My standard response is that I was only four and do not recall.

I recall my father carrying me from the station wagon into my aunt’s house to listen to my relatives play music. The year – 1965 – my aunt and uncle moved out of that house when I was four.

I have many things that came as a direct result of my fourth year. I was terrified of shots and was proud of the fact it took five nurses to hold me down at the age of nine. My first memories are from 1965 due to its seemingly tragic nature. I avoid hospitals like the plague and freak out at the sight of blood – forever ceiling my fate not in the medical profession.

There are also some good points. And I have the world’s best excuse for loving to shoe shop and owning fifty plus pairs of shoes. After all, it’s all about the justification. What is your excuse?

Why I Have To Be Eternally Positive

With my childhood upbringing (lacking in so many ways) and scary beginnings, I cannot afford to be negative. Depression is just one step away. Depression can cause all kinds of issues from eating and sleeping disorders to suicidal tendencies.

Take time to look at your own outlook. If you see any signs of negativity, cure them. If you are really bad, seek help. There are many licensed professionals out there who would love to help you. And there are some good ones. If nothing else, talk to someone anonymously on one of those free help call in lines.

You may be amazed by the results!

How can a person achieve a positive attitude in life?  First, he must become optimistic. Meaning,  giving more value to good things than bad things. A flower for instance, if a person would adapt a positive attitude, he or she would say “ This plant has a lot of thorns, but the flower is so beautiful”.  On the other hand, if a person is inclined to dwell on the negative side of things, he or she would say “The flower is so beautiful, but it has many thorns”.  Second, that person must associate himself with positive thinkers.  Attitudes are contagious, and it is important to be contaminated with a good one than the other way around.

Here are some positive quotes that may help us become a better person:

“A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle”

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”

“very little is needed to make a happy life, its all within yourself, your way of thinking”

Matthew 19:26 – With God in my life, all things are possible.
