Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.

Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.

A smile can work wonders. Put it to work for you.

Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. [at least it will feel like it!]

Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.

The way to transform your immense inner value into outer riches is by giving it freely and authentically to others.
