 Handle Change by Jane Powell "Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values." As you race through life, facing daily challenges and trying to stay on top of change, it's not always easy to find time to reflect on the values you hold dear. But, in truth, moments of change are exactly the times when you most need to remember values! People with a solid value system are generally happier and find it easier to overcome challenges. Values like integrity, loyalty, faith, compassion, courage and a sense of community, all work together to give us inner direction and purpose. Values build personal resiliency, which in turn helps you bounce back from adversity and embrace new opportunities. Take a moment today to reflect on your values – and then go out and put them into action!  ''When you live in the present moment, time stands still. Accept your circumstances and live them. If there is an experience ahead of you, have it! But if worries stand in your way, put them off until tomorrow. Give yourself a day off from worry. You deserve it. Some people live with a low-grade anxiety tugging at their spirit all day long. They go to sleep with it, wake up with it, carry it around at home, in town, to church, and with friends. Here's a remedy: Take the present moment and find something to laugh at. People who laugh, last. ''  Winners and winners There are those who win now, and those who will win later. If everyone were to win first place all at once, the victory would have no real meaning. If you resent those who win the race, you give up a valuable opportunity. You give up the opportunity to learn from their examples. There are those who win in one area of life, and others who win in other areas of life. If everyone was the best at the very same thing, think of how terribly tedious and predictable things would be. Just because one person wins, or excels, or achieves, does not mean everyone else loses. Life's victories do not happen in a vacuum, and their valuable consequences reach far beyond those who achieve them. Choose to be inspired, to learn from, and to catch the positive energy of those who win. Then make use of that energy, and build on it to win in your very own way. Sincerely celebrate the victories of those who win. For that makes you a winner, too. Ralph Marston    Rose!   |
