Communication - Personal Development - Business

No matter what you celebrate this time of year, I wish you joy, happiness and peace. We celebrate Christmas and when our family and friends gather, we take the opportunity to thank the Lord for our blessings. I believe it is my right and your right to enjoy the season however we wish and communicate it in the best way we possibly can from our heart.

I hope you enjoy your family no matter what form it takes; feel good about all your relationships, even the “not perfect” ones and be grateful for whom you have become. Focus on continuing to create a full life, both professionally and personally. Live by your core values and with every moment, remember that you are in total control of your choices.

Wishing your the best of Holidays, and a Merry Christmas. It’s going to be a great 2008! Cheers,

This day I thankfully accept all of the good things that are coming my way.  This day is full of excitement, love, energy, health, and prosperity.  This day, people are calling on me to be of service to them and I respond by giving my very best.  This day, I think and practice health in my life, refusing to accept anything less than perfect health.

This day, I accept the abundance and prosperity that is mine and willingly share it with others.  This day, I focus on the moment and give no thought to the past or to the future.  This day, I spend in total enjoyment of what I do. This day, I fill with loving thoughts and actions toward all other people and myself.  This day, I spend in grateful appreciation of all that is mine.  This day, this hour, this minute, this moment is all that I have and I choose to use it in celebration.

From the best selling book Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life by Larry Winget

I want to thank the kindness of all the people who attended the Banquet last evening. It seemed that all the difficult people stayed home and were nowhere to be found. The donations, auctions, and general activity to take the time on a Saturday night are much appreciated. Kindness filled the air and the feeling of family and goodwill.

What has happened to our society that kindness takes a backseat to self-centeredness, ego, and rudeness? Why do people choose not to be nice? Personally, I plan to heighten my awareness meter to pay more attention to general kindness and having a good, caring outlook. Being wrapped up in your own life, whether problematic or not, can make anyone over consumed with themselves.

In publishing my next book, Toxic People: Decontaminate difficult people at work without using weapons or duct tape, I must force my life to be more about others and less about me. Here is the key – I will not allow myself to be walked on! Deciding to engage people that have the same view will be my goal. Eliminating the Toxic People from my life will continue to be my mantra. No longer will these people suck the life out of me, and I will surround myself with the like of people that were at the banquet.
