Ten Little Habits that steal your Happiness
You ultimately become what you repeatedly do. If your habits aren’t helping you, they’re hurting you. Here are a few examples of the latter that will steal your happiness if you let them:
1. Focusing on everyone’s story except your own.
Don’t be so satisfied with the success stories of others and how things have gone for them that you forget to write your own. Unfold your own tale and bring it to life. You have everything you need to become what you are capable of becoming. Incredible change happens when you decide to take control. This means consuming less and creating more. It means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and deciding for you. It means learning to respect and use your own ideas and instincts to write your passage………

life remembers . . . and tries to remind us
In fact, the transitions that punctuate many people’s careers after the age of forty or forty-five are the unmarked ruins of this natural time of transition. Whether such transitions take the form of a time when everything “goes dead,” a time when things keep going wrong, a time when long-successful strategies suddenly stop working, or a time when the gray fog of depression covers whatever was once bright and interesting, this natural (if often delayed) time of transition starts with an ending, a sense of loss.

Where do you want to go?
time-out
Think of transition as a process of leaving the status quo, living for a while in a fertile “time-out,” and then coming back with an answer. The British historian Arnold Toynbee pointed out that societies gain access to new energies and new directions only after a “time of troubles” initiates a process of disintegration wherein the old order comes apart.

Oh the thinks you can think up!
“I took an early retirement, although it wasn’t for the leisure as such that I did it. The idea of sitting on the beach or puttering in the garden doesn’t appeal to me much, but I wanted to use the time to . . . well, think. Continue reading
Book Recommendation: The Choice by Og Mandino
Never Underestimate the Power of Choice
Do you remember what you said you wanted to be “when you grow up?” Are you living that reality now? Unfortunately, most folks “settle” into a life that looks nothing like the dreams of their youth. We tend to do the things that are most comfortable and predictable, which often leads to working in an unfulfilling, dead-end job. Before you know it, one day bleeds into another, week after week and month after month. The years seem to fly by and you can’t figure out where the time went. Such is the case with Mark Christopher in The Choice. At age 42, Mark was the youngest vice president at his firm and an adjunct professor at the local university. He thought he had it all until he realizes that his life was literally passing him by.The Choice speaks to our innermost desire to have the best of both worlds–freedom and financial stability. Mark Christopher challenges conventional wisdom and abandons his life as a top executive to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. His journey of self-discovery inspires you to examine your life and the choices that shape who you are. You may be surprised to find out that the “rat race” is not your only option… Never underestimate the power of choice; there is a better way to live and you have the power to create the life of your dreams.
I’ve read several of Og Mandino’s books and this one like the others, is a fantastic read. It is encouraging, inspirational and uplifting. If your a fan of Og Mandio books, The Choice is definitely one to add to your collection.
