the only constant factor will be our feelings and attitudes toward life. We as
human beings have the power of attitude and that attitude determines choice,
and choice determines results. All that
we are and all that we can become has indeed been left to us to decide and
interpret through our attitude and choices.

craving new surroundings, take a thorough personal inventory before making any
change. Are things really that bad, or is your attitude the problem? Pursue passion. If your day-to-day doesn’t revolve around
projects you’re truly passionate about, take a step back and outline activities
that do align with your strongest feelings. Eat with info. Food companies can be pretty tricky when hiding
unhealthy ingredients. Your vitality is crucial to your success. Pay extra
attention to what you’re putting into your body. Open up. When dealing with large scale change, the tendency
can be to resist. Relax, and open yourself to the possibilities. When journalism, write down three best-case outcomes of the new change. Let go. Holding onto past disappointments and heartache

Our relationships define us. Friendships, family ties and bonds with romantic
partners are our greatest source of happiness. If any of yours are lapsing, be
the bigger person and start a dialogue immediately. Play backup. In team environments, everyone has a role to
play, but that doesn’t preclude you from supporting others. Learn about someone
else’s job to see how you might help and foster greater cooperation. Make today the day. If you desire something greater for
yourself, don’t put off your plans to change until some later date. Tonight,
sketch out your new daily disciplines, and start living by them right away.
