Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from Dan Nielsen and team!
Whether you’re the recipient, giver, or even just the witness of a good deed, it never fails to brighten your mood and your day. I challenge you to go about your day today with “be good to people” in mind. See how many smiles you can bring. I promise, it will make a big difference in your day, and in theirs!
No matter your circumstances, you can choose to see the glass as “half full,” not “half empty.” I challenge you: create and sustain the habit of intentionally bringing more joy into your daily life!
As you continue through the holiday season and everything it entails, you will undoubtedly encounter dozens of upsetting moments along the way. As you do, try to remember the 5 by 5 rule, and don’t allow yourself to dwell on the minor stuff more than 5 minutes!
You get to choose the attitude and outlook you “catch” and pass on to others. You get to choose your contagion. So make your choice—today, tomorrow, and every day—to be what you want to see more of in the world.
Your time is a precious and limited resource; so to be most effective—both personally and professionally—you should focus on these two lists.
Enjoy the stuff you already have. Utilize your stuff to create more joy. Bless others with the stuff you don’t need. Appreciate simplicity…. “Don’t make space for more stuff. Make space for more life.” – Courtney Carver
Those we choose to surround ourselves with, those we count as friends, should not be just random! Look for (and look out for) these certain types of people.
