My Oops! of the Day

Editor’s note: This morning I was half finished with an article titled, “Get Up, Dress Up and Show Up.” I was smiling because it had just seemed to flow and, oops! As it sometimes does when I’m typing too fast and hit a wrong key, it highlighted itself and with the next key stroke, it disappeared altogether with the exception of the letter “n”. That was it!  The rest was gone and none of my little tricks restored it. With an early morning appointment, there was no time to start again and I found this lovely article below that says what I was trying to say just as well if not better. So I thank Faylee James for saving my day and I hope you enjoy her very wise words. Irene

7 Simple Tips For a Better Life

By Faylee James -

Life isn’t fair and if someone told you it was, they lied to you. Bad things happen to good people and bad people have great things happen to them. In our human eyes, it may look like an unbalanced world but it isn’t for us to compare our lives to others. It is our responsibility to expect a great day and work toward that reward, bringing happiness to ourselves is the greatest of all gifts.

I”m passing on a few tips on how I do that for myself.

[1] Make time for yourself to sit quietly for at least 15 minutes each day. You can choose the time of day but give yourself this gift of silence.

[2] Try to make at least three people smile today.

[3] Clear the clutter out of your life, house and car. If you can’t see where you are going, how can you expect to get there?

[4] Life is to short to waste time hating anyone, forgive everyone for everything.

[5] What other people think of you is none of your business, that’s their burden, not yours.

[6] NO matter how you feel, get up, dress up and then show up. The first step is half the battle. (Emphasis mine. Irene)

[7] Live with the 3 E’s and the 3 R’s:

• Enthusiasm

• Energy

• Empathy

• Respect for others

• Respect for self

• Responsibility for all actions, good or bad

Our life isn’t an amusement park. It may have plenty of rides that go up and down but there is only one E ticket. Lets not waste it by playing what if and letting the best be left on the wayside.
