We're all - all of us - a minute away from dying. If you're aware of that, life becomes a little more precious. Also, you have a slightly different outlook. It's not so much "gimme, gimme."

The weird people are the best ones! All of my friends are weird.

I am grateful for being alive today. It is my joy and pleasure to live another wonderful day.

My home is a happy place to be. I bless everyone who enters, myself included. Pleasant experiences fill every room.

I will not be distracted by noise, chatter, or setbacks. Patience, commitment, grace, and purpose will guide me.

If I want to believe that life is lonely and that nobody loves me, then that is what I will find in my world.

Loving myself and thinking joyful, happy thoughts is the quickest way to create a wonderful life.
