You Gotta Love The PS.

I'd like to share this with you sent to me via email from a friend.

To my darling husband,

Before you return from your business trip, I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway.

Fortunately, not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.

I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway, I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake.

The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart.

I am enclosing a picture for you.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.


Your loving wife.

P.S. Your girlfriend called.

Don't Try -- Do!

If you want something, you have to make it happen. It bothers me when I ask someone to do something and they answer, "I'll try." I never know whether it's going to happen or not.

Saying you'll try to do something, rather than saying you will do it, indicates that you're not confident you can make it happen. You're starting out with a disadvantage.

There is no such thing as trying to live like a better person. You either do it or you don't. If you're trying, you've put something or someone else in charge of whether or not to succeed.

When you're trying, you can't be doing. To say you'll try to do something is to say that you'll engage it in a struggle, that you're willing to wrestle with it. It has nothing to do with whether it will happen or not. All trying does is give you an excuse in case you want to abandon the project for some reason.

In some circles "try" is a dirty word. When people hear it, they roll their eyes and assume the thing isn't going to happen. They don't trust people who use the word "try" to get anything done, because such people obviously don't trust themselves or really don't want to do it in the first place. People who try keep themselves stuck in the process of moving toward something, and if they're stuck there, they can never reach their goal. The process of trying and the process of completing are two different things.

The first question people ask when I say this is, "But how do I stop trying?" They are starting to hear all the negative person's old tapes:
"You can't do that."
"Hah! I've heard that before."
"You know you can't be trusted."

It's like a computer program that comes rolling out of your mind. The only way you can stop it is to reprogram the computer. Put in disks that say, "I'm going to do it. I'm going to make it happen."

Say to yourself, "From this moment on I'm a better person. I think like a better person, feel like a better person, and behave like a better person." Note the "better person" because this can apply to anything you want to accomplish.

Just let that change happen inside you, without going back and thinking or worrying about it. Allow yourself to be better right now. If you look at it for a moment, you'll see that there's really very little you can do. Being better is more a statement of what you're being than a question of what you're doing.

You're the one who has to make it happen. You're the only one who can. When you say, "I'll do it," rather than, "I'll try to do it," you burn your bridges behind you. There's nowhere to go except in the direction you've chosen. Just doing it can make you your strongest ally.

Why Waste A Tantrum When No One Can See You

Think Positive

I have to admit - I was starting to get affected by all the negative news going around.

I'm done with it now though. The switch has been flipped.

Here's some of my recent reads to give you an idea of what I mean:

Hey - ya know all those people SELLING off their stocks at rock bottom prices? Guess what? Some rich guy is BUYING IT.

THIS JUST IN: 6,706,833,152 people will *NOT* die today. I repeat - 6.7 Billion People will *NOT* die today.

THIS JUST IN: You can now buy stocks in most companies at 1995 prices!

Wow 89% of ALL HOMEOWNERS are paying their mortgages on time.

THIS JUST IN: Tens of Millions of Homes *NOT* in Jeopardy of Foreclosure

THIS JUST IN: Employment Rate is still at 92%

THIS JUST IN: 3105 Counties in the USA have a *LOW* Foreclosure Rate.
(35 remaining counties account for over 50% of all foreclosures)

Let's hear your 'positive spin' in the comments.

Sorry, Bill, I'd rather kiss my new boss!

The more you look at it, the funnier it gets...
