Ten Ways to Soar Through Life
You’re Great - No Matter What
You are worthwhile. Learn from your mistakes, value yourself and all what you are.
Persistence Pays Off
It’s not about talent or if you are smart; it’s about never quitting. Don’t tell yourself that you can’t or dwell on mistakes. Patience and determination are really all that it takes.
Welcome the Unknown
Change is a good thing; it happens every day- don’t fear change, embrace it instead and life will be an adventure and you’ll look forward to what’s ahead.
You Have a Choice
Be true to yourself, don’t look to others to say you’re okay, you know it-so believe it! Don’t blame others for the things you say or do. Every choice that you make is all up to you.
Farewell to Worry
When stressful thoughts attack, remember positive actions on your part are the best way to fight back.
Peace Begins with You
Don’t let anger in your heart, take anger and let it go. When you’re mad and let it change the things you say and do, not only do you hurt yourself, but those around you, too.
Enjoy the Here-and-Now
Take pleasure in the here-and-now; don’t always be on the run. The road you take to reach your goal should be part of the fun.
Healthy Me!
Your body responds to what you think. Good thoughts and good humor are truly the best start for a super-healthy mind, body, spirit, and heart.
Creativity is the Key
Find your own way to meet the challenges life brings, stay true to yourself and let your ideas shine.
What Can You Give?
See goodness and beauty everywhere you turn, take every experience in life as a chance for you to learn. Don’t wonder what you can get, wonder what you can give.
I've printed this out and put on Emily's board that is in her room. Second grade is just around the corner and I want her to have the tools to successfully face the challenges. Oh, I'm not concerned about the subjects that the teacher will teach, those come easy to her. I'm concerned about her giving up too easily, holding grudges, thinking of only herself, her worrying, and her blaming of others. When situations arise this coming school year, I want her to encourage her to begin learning these words and applying them to her life. I've got to remember that she is her own person and I can't fight her battles and more times than not, I need to listen with my mouth completely shut and just give lots of hugs.
