Fear

It is likely that your fears have no basis in reality.  should you be concerned that the airplane you're on is going to crash?  According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the odds of being killed in plane crash are 52.6 million to 1.

The best way to conbfront your fears is to educate yourself.  Make a list of your fears and research them.  Write a fear on one side oaf an index card an the reality on the other side. Carry there cards with you and refer to them until you are firmly grounded in what is likely to occur rather than what you are afraid will occur.

Food & Mood

Scientific studies have repeatedly found a strong connection between food and mood.  Incorporate complex carbohydrates like fruits, vegetables, and whole gains into your diet.  Each of these help maintain levels of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical in the brain.

Nutritionist Susan Kleiner explains the connection between food and mood in the following way:  "It's what anti-depressants are all about.  These drugs work to elevate serotonin levels or at least keep them from dropping too low,  The right foods accpmplish the same thing."

Take a Hike

Getting out in nature is good for the body and mind.  go for a walk or hike at least once a week.  The natural environment will help you to clear your head.

According to a report by John Davis, PhD, breaking up the monotony of your normal environment by spending time in nature can help reduce burnout.  frequent visits to a park or other outdoor scenic setting reduce stress levels by removing the distractions caused by modern technology.

Completing  a difficult hike or overcoming some other obstacle peresented in the wilderness has a positive impact on self-esteem.  So treat yourself to a dose of nature therapy.

Learn to daydream

Let your mind wander.

In your imagination, go to a place that makes you feel relaxed and happy.  Imagine drifting in a canoe down a winding river.  Maybe you would prefer to lie on a beach in the Caribbean.  No matter where your mind takes you, let it drift and rest there for a little while each day.

When you come back, write down what you thought of and how it made you feel.  Refer to this daydream book when you're feeling stressed --- it will help you remember the benefits of daydreaming, and perhaps someday those dreams will be relized.

Friendship

Friends are wonderful gifts and they should be rewarded now and then for their friendship.  If you know a friend is moving, offer to help box up his belongings.  Or house-sit while your pal goes on much-needed vacation.

Make dinner for a friend and surprise her with it when she gets home form a rough day at work.  the way to have a great friend is to be one.  You will both benefit from these small kindnesses.

Small acts of Kindness reap big Rewards

Let the person with just a gallon of milk go ahead of you in the check-out line.  Gice up the prize parking space at the mall to the woman who has two kids in the back seat.  Put your neighbor's newspaper on his porch when it looks like it is going to rain.  allow the driver next to you to enter your lane. 

Living in a constant state of "me first" causes aggression, anger, and tension; howerer, studies show people who practice small acts of kindness on a daily basis are less stressed and feel better about themselves than the "me first" set.

Sunshine & Fresh Air

Open your windows and doors and let the sunshine in.  Fresh air and light will do wonders for elevating your mood.  Bright sunshine will lighten even the darkest conrners.  Clean air drifting  through your home creates a relaxing, invigorating environment.

Author Zane Madison writes, "A good breath of fresh air can revitalize, energize, and stimulate the mind taht has been dulled, as well as the body that is fatigues."  Air and sunshine are readily available, so use them often to improve your day.  You will start to look forward to your "open window" time and enjoy the home you're created.

Appreciation

Most people remember special days such as birthdays and anniversaries.  But you should also select other ocasions to show people how much they mean to you.  This will greatly enhance your relationships.

When shopping, pick up an extra treat for your mom or dad.  Plan an unexpected dinner and movie night for your friends.  Let your wife fcome home to love notes left around the house, or devise a plan to go out for no special reason.

What you do to express your appreciation is not as important as the thought behind it.  Unexpected, thoughtful acts will inject new energy into your relationship and happiness in your life.

Be Honest and Trustworthy.

Lies obviously undermine the success of any relationship.  Even little white lies can damage your relationships because they chip away at your credibility.

As businessman Joseph Sugarman wrote, "Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success.  Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong force oysgubg you toward failure." 

When you enter into a relationship, you make an unspoken promise to be truthful and trustworthy.  Breaking that deal damages both individuals and the relationship.

Don't Keep Score..

Keeping score in a relationship is never productive.

Do favors and tasks out of love and responsibility, not to have ammunition for future arguments.  Likewise, never do things for others solely so they will someday repay you.  As the late Senator Hubert Humphrey once said, "If you keep score on the good things and the bad things, you'll find out that you're a miserable person. 

God gave man the ability to forget, which is one of the greatest attributes you have.  Because if you remember everything that's happened to you, you generally remember that which is the most unfortunate."  To stay happy in your relationships, refrain from keeping score.

Thoughts - Action - Result

Any action we take must be preceded by a thought.  Thoughts create the words we speak, the feelings we feel, and our actions.  Actions are particularly powerful, because they are thoughts that have caused us to act.

Think..

"See the things that you want as already yours.  Know that they will come to you at need.  Then let them come.  Don't think about your lack of them.  Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.

Catalogue from Universe.

This is really fun, It's like having the Universe as your catalogue.  You flip through it and say, "I'd like to have a person like that."  It is You placing your order with the Universe.  It's really that easy.

Just ASK.

Asking is the first step in the Creative Process, so make it a banit to ask.  If you have to make a choice and you don't know which way to go, ask!  You should never to stumped on anyting in your life.  Just ASK!

LA, California

What do you WANT?

You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want.  This is your work.  If you're not clear, then the law of attraction cannot bring you what you want.  You will be sending out a mixed frequency and you can only attract mixed results.

For the first time in your life perhaps, work out what it is you really want.  Now that you know you can have, be, or do anything, and there are no limits, what do you want?

You are a Creator.

You are a creator, and there is an easy process to create using the law of attraction.  The greatest teachers and avantars have shared the Creative Process through their wondrous worm, in a myriad of forms.  Some great teachers created stories to demonstrate how the Universe works.  The wisdom contained in their stories has been handed down through the centuries and has become legendary.  Many people living today do not realize that the essence of these stories is the very truth of life.

豁達大度的人生態度 蔣

表姊夫今年104歲，自20年前表姐去世之後，他一直獨居於舊金山漁人碼頭附近的老人公寓裡，是該處年歲最高、又最受人們尊敬和喜愛的和藹老人。我每次來美國旅遊或探親，總要去拜望這位長者。

第一次同外子來美旅遊是1998年的事，和表姊夫約定住在他家。當時他已93歲，怕我們語言不通、無法問路，竟親自前往機場迎候。

午飯之後，他又陪我們去漁人碼頭觀光，眺望金門橋和犯人島。

我們恐他勞累，一再勸他回去休息，他卻精神抖擻、步履健爽，不停地給我們介紹周圍景點和有關故事。身體之硬朗，思維之敏捷，幾乎勝過我們60多歲的人。

讚嘆之餘，我不禁請問姊夫：「您的長壽秘訣是什麼？」

他告訴我：「80歲之前適度運動，80歲之後悠閒度日，最重要的是心胸開闊，於人於事豁達大度。」邊走邊說，我們不知不覺已回到家中。

進門後還沒坐定，表姊夫就說要給我們兩個驚喜；只看他取出相簿，指著一張在高空跳傘的照片問：「這是誰？」哇！原來那位四肢結實、健美靈活的跳傘者，就是他80華誕的留影。

接著，他又給我們另一個驚喜，讓我們欣賞他櫃子上布置的一套兒童樂隊。那是一群造型活潑的孩子，手執不同樂器，姿態各異，似乎在演奏各自的樂曲。

正當我們指指點點，比較哪個更可愛時，姊夫卻悄悄地把按鈕一按，櫃上的小人立刻機靈地敲起手裡的樂器，逗得我們哈哈大笑。這時的姊夫，活像一個調皮的孩童。

今年6月上旬，我第六次來美探親。姊夫得知，熱情地邀我們去做客。當天他等候在家，門鈴一響，他立即站起身來迎接。

讓座完畢，大家邊喝茶邊聊天，我見姊夫面色滋潤、耳聰目明，腦子反應靈敏、說話對答如流，依然詼諧風趣，不時發出朗朗笑聲，比我見過的所有百歲人瑞都健談。

他說：「我現在成為活寶了，處處受到保護。社區和樓裡的鄰居經常來關心我，牧師剛才還來電話，明天將派車接我去聚餐。逢年過節，專程來訪者更是絡繹不絕，親戚朋友個個叫我『老祖宗』。醫院也定期上門給我做體檢，一切指標正常，估計將來我會『無疾而終』。」

別依依，姊夫送我們到走廊盡頭的窗口時，還不忘指著近處的海灣景色說，他每天早晚都來此欣賞。他並發出深情的讚嘆：「這世界實在太美了！」

9月底的一天下午，我們突然接到訃告：表姊夫帶著微笑，無聲無息地告別了人間，如他所言，無疾而終。

教會為他舉行一個隆重的追思會，他的長女在會上代表家屬答謝來賓時說：「諸位一定很想知道爸爸的長壽秘訣，他是這樣教導我們小輩的，希望大家記住他老人家的三句話：

Money is gone, nothing is gone
（失去了金錢，沒有失去什麼）

Health is gone, half is gone.
（失去了健康，失去了一半）

Hope is gone, everything is gone.
（失去了希望，就失去了全部）
