Plays well with others?

“The prophets are one family of God. Some have come in one country, some in another. But they belong to us all. If we celebrate the day of our prophet and criticize others, it is my feeling that our prophet will not be pleased, and we will never become enlightened. God has emphasized the same message through each prophet: “Go and teach the people love, teach them how to live well, take away their fears and their evils.” In essence, all prophets sacrificed to create good human beings.” — Baba Virsa Singh

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to all!

How to negate a negative mood

Woke up this morning feeling like a nattering nabob of negativity? Here are 10 ideas to turn that frown upside down:

  • Take significant action on one of your top goals.  Just start!
  • Write down 10 things or more for which you are grateful.
  • Get moving!  Exercise is a great mood-lifter!
  • Listen to some awesome tunes!  Bring some beautiful music into your life.
  • Go to the library and take out one of the following DVDs and watch it: Arthur, Animal House, Tommy Boy, or Office Space.
  • Make love to your significant other.
  • Pet your dog/cat.
  • Meditate
  • Take a long relaxing bath with a rubber ducky.
  • Telephone a positive friend with whom you haven’t spoken in a while.

Overall, if you find yourself slipping into a negative mindset frequently, you may want to incorporate the following tips.  Being a negative nabob does not work well for anyone, especially an entrepreneur:

  • Do not entertain negative thoughts, negative people, or negativity in general!  Be as careful whom and what you allow into your mind as your are with whom and what you allow into your home.
  • If you won’t say it to others; don’t think it yourself.
