Ideas for happy life
A collection of thoughts and sayings that resonated with me…Rules I try to live by:
- [ ] Everyone dealt their own cards… make the best out of your hand
- [ ] Happiness - life is never perfect so accept what you have and make the best out of it
- [ ] Positivity is infectious. Do your part to make those around you happy
- [ ] If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all
- [ ] Be a uniter not a divider
- [ ] Try to limit bitching…it does no good and is unnecessary negativity
- [ ] Surround yourself with good people-limit negative nellies
- [ ] Only use constructive criticism
- [ ] Praise in public
- [ ] Be a role model - it’s contagious
- [ ] Relationships matter - coworkers, friends & family
- [ ] People buy things in search of happiness but may not find it
- [ ] Alcohol doesn’t bring happiness but spending time with family and friends does
- [ ] When other people are not nice it is not your problem it is theirs
- [ ] Set goals and periodically review
- [ ] My glass is half full versus half empty. I am thankful for what I have and don’t dwell on what I lost
- [ ] It’s better to give than receive is a mindset. I felt more satisfaction with life when I understood this
- You may not be able to control everything that happens to you but you can control how you deal with it.
I don’t understand what Jensen was thinking. I have so many questions. Does he no longer love his wife? Kids? Why stay married? Does he have any concerns about China? Is he a traitor?
@TimWhelan20 80 is perfect and was an extra nice day. Our summers are hot and humid. We couldn’t mess around because it gets dark around 5. We made it by 3.
We got the boat back in the water today and back on our lift. It’s been out since the Hurricane hit last month. The temp climbed to 80 so we went for it. We may not have many warm days left before winter. We spent $160 on gas first.
What is now Ukraine? I have been to a lot of places…planes, trains and automobiles. Moscow, Votkinsk, Chelyabinsk, Perm and a few more that I can’t remember. I was managing a START missile elimination program.
I don’t like the war. I’m sad for both sides but particularly sad for Ukraine.
I keep a digital rolodex of outstanding blue-collar workers in different specialties. I have learned when you find someone really good you pay them well, take care of them and they take care of you. They spent their lifetime honing their skills and I admire that.
