"Personal growth is just a hug away." We have all heard that you need four hugs a day for survival, eight hugs a day for maintenance and twelve for growth. The touch of a hug has a healing effect on your body. Your immune system stays strong and you feel loved and special. Hugs have a way of nurturing the little child within you and helping you feel cherished by family and friends. If you're not getting your twelve hugs a day, reach out and ask for the hugs you need. A simple, "Can I have a hug?" goes a long way toward getting those twelve hugs you need for growth. ©Jane Powell Be grateful simply for being alive. When you are grateful for life, pure and simple, your life becomes one you can be grateful for. That may strike you as circular or even backward logic, but your attitude really does have an effect on how things work out. When you cant change your life any other way, you can still change your attitude. When you do, your life changes. You find more chances to love, and you will be surprised to see how much more love is returned to you. The next time someone says, Its a lovely day, try saying, Yes, it is. Today is always the best day of your life.       Positively responsible Even when you're in a negative place, the next step you take can be in a positive direction. Even when you're feeling down, with your thoughts and actions you can lift yourself up. Disappointment and frustration are facts of life that you'll often encounter. But that doesn't mean you have to perpetuate them. When you stumble and fall, it hurts. Yet no matter how much the setback has hurt you, your best choice is always to quickly get back up and get going again. Instead of fighting back with more of your own negativity, advance forward with your own meaningful, positive intentions. When life has been tough and painful, grab the opportunity to make it richer and more fulfilling. Feeling resentful and sorry for yourself will just end up giving you even more reasons to feel sorry and resentful. Choose instead to feel positively and enthusiastically responsible for pushing yourself beyond the difficulties. Every moment is an opportunity for growth and advancement, no matter what has happened in the moments before. Seize each opportunity, and quickly leave life's disappointments behind.
