I believe that things will never be as good as you want them to be; however, if you think in a positive way, love your fellow man even with his/her faults, things will be better than they will if you always look for the negative in people. i.e. its all relative and only you have the means to affect the rest of your life. So, think positive and you will enjoy it more.

I agree with you! At this point in our lives who needs negativity anyway? I for one try to stay positive (try) and try to see good in everyone. But you just can't make everyone happy. Que sera sera! Life is too short! I am enjoying each day!

I also agree...my mental health depends on my attitude and attitude is 90% what we make of it.

I like all these sayings:

Life is too short to be too little.

I don't let anyone rent space in my head.

Some people brighten a room when they enter and some when they leave.

So true. And remember...no one can make you feel bad unless YOU allow them to!

I like these as well, my favorite at this point in my life is

"don't sweat the small stuff, and if it isn't life threatening, it's small stuff"

Life is too short to worry if your socks match.

As one of my mentors always said:

I agree!! We are thankful each day that we live in such a beautiful place. Take a golf cart ride and enjoy the beauty all around. We are so blessed!

I no longer choose friends who want to be around only beautiful, young, and slim people.


I find a lot of friends here.

And I even have quite a few who are beautiful and slim. They still like me too.

How great is that?

What you put out, you attract, so if you are not getting back what you want, then be the change you want to see. Remember, you really can't "try" something; you either do it or don't do it. The choice is always yours. It's your life so why not make the most of it. How lucky are we, who live in TV that we have sooooo much to choose from. What a blessing!

You are only as happy as you make up your mind to be.
