More thoughts on the To Do List


Last week we looked at the importance
of a "sweet beginning" for your day and
the self-confidence inventory. Both of
these are from the daily "to do list."

Today I want to encourage you to look
at number 3 on the list.

3 Top 5 reasons you have to be happy
about the opportunities today and how
you intend to bring success to the day.

Only you can determine your specific
reasons, but I urge you to think deeply
and come up with appropriate ones.

Think on these as your day is beginning,
and you will find goal setting simpler.

Here are some reasons for happiness that
I have chosen in the form of quotes from
some great minds:


A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live.
- Bertrand Arthur William Russell

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
- Bertrand Arthur William Russell

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.
- Bertrand Arthur William Russell

A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn't let them get her down.
- Beverly Sills

Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
- Benjamin Spock
