If you tell someone you’ll do something, then do it. If you tell someone you love and care for them, then show it in your actions and not just your words. If you want to be treated kindly, then treat others kindly. If you want respect, show respect.

Words are very powerful, but they mean nothing if you do not follow up with action. The better you treat other people the better they will treat you and your life will be happier and you’ll have more confidence.

Be aware of things you are doing that are wasting time. Everyone has at times caught themselves getting off track and wasting time instead of sticking with a project. When you catch yourself doing this, don’t get frustrated and say, I just can’t concentrate. Instead say, Wow, I need to get back on track and get going. I know I can do it, so here I go.

Go back over your list and start doing something on it immediately. You will feel a sense of pride when you use self control and get your project done. Just do it!

Building a happy life is like growing a garden. You start with a tiny seed or thought and it grows bigger and bigger. Do not take happy thoughts for granted. They must be cultivated and cared for like your garden. If you give them attention and work on them, every day you will reap the rewards. Take some time to think about what makes you truly happy. Ask yourself when was the last time you felt true joy and happiness and remember how it made you feel. Make it a habit to do at least one thing every day that makes you truly happy.

Pay attention to everything around you and if something is causing you to feel stress, like a messy room, clean it up and get it out of the way. Decide right now that you will be happy and you will not allow anything to get in your way.

Do not focus on failures, better yet only focus on your successes. Write a list of everything you have accomplished in the last year and you will soon feel better. Tell yourself, I am successful, I can accomplish anything. By doing this it will be easier to keep focused on your goals and finish them.

Your thoughts should be focused on your goals and not past failures. The past is just that, past. It no longer has anything to do with what you are doing now. Stay focused and you are sure to succeed at anything you do.
