It’s estimated 93% won’t forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title ‘7%’.

I got this via email today and thought it was worth sharing:

Never deprive anyone of hope; it could be the only thing a person owns.

Don’t make decisions when you are angry.

Watch your posture.

Don’t pay for a job until it’s finished.

Beware of who has nothing to lose.

Learn how to say “no” courteously and promptly.

Don’t expect life to be fair.

Don’t hesitate to lose a battle it if helps you win the war.

Don’t procrastinate. Do what needs to be done when it needs to be done.

Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” and I’m sorry.

Watch the sun rise at least once a month.

Look people in the eye.

Say “please” and “thank you” often.

Spend less than what you earn.

Do unto others as you wish others did to you.

Learn how to keep secrets.

Own up to your mistakes.

Always tell the truth.

Don’t repeat all you hear, don’t say all you think.

Don’t criticize people, praise them.

Learn how to listen, it’s an art.

Don’t believe all you hear.

Enjoy beauty.

Don’t lose control at any time, take a deep breath.

You are the way you breathe.

Meditate for thirty minutes every day.

Enjoy your free time!

Cherish your friends.

Be honest, earn people’s respect.

You have the right to be happy!

Shed hate and rancour, they hurt you more than they do others.

There are things you can’t get back: the spoken word, the time that has gone by, and lost opportunities.

Do only one thing at a time.

Immortality exists, it’s called knowledge. Ask what you don’t know and remember it for when you’re asked.

Discover pleasure in simple things: eating, breathing, tasting, touching, seeing, sleeping….

Happiness is like a piggy bank, put in it as much as you can.

Good job James!

We tell him that all of the time.  Anytime he does something good, it’s “good job James!”; often accompanied by clapping.
He gets it. He knows we’re praising him. And he is encouraged by it.

It’s good to help a person grow. It fills my heart.

This video has some great inspirational quotes set to music. Enjoy & have a great day!

It looks like Spiritual Cinema Circle has got some interesting films this month!  I’m really interested in the feature film about 2012.

Here’s what they have to say about it on the website:

2012: Science or Superstition The ending of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012 has sparked a worldwide discussion — bestselling books, New York Times and USA Today articles, Hollywood films and more. This documentary goes to the heart of the 2012 question: Will life as we know it end — metaphorically, literally or at all? Could 2012 actually represent an evolutionary leap in our consciousness? Discover the multiple, and at times conflicting, perspectives on this enigmatic topic combined with related global change theories. This entertaining, informative film gets you up to date on 2012 phenomenon, allowing you to decide for yourself.  2012: Science or Superstition and three shorts are FREE (plus S&H) when you sign up for Spiritual Cinema Circle before July 15th.
