The one attitude which gives rise to  hope amidst misunderstanding and ill-will is a forgiving spirit. Where forgiveness becomes the atmosphere, there hope and healing are possible.

Beauty is mind-deep. You are as pretty or as ugly as you think you are. Visualize yourself as a pleasant, friendly, cheerful, laughing sparkling person and your imagination will make you into that kind of person.

Undertake something that is difficult; it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

Joy is the feeling that comes from the fulfillment of one�s potential. Fulfillment brings to an individual the feeling that he can cope with his environment; the sense of confidence in himself as a significant, competent, lovable person who is capable of handling situations as they arise, able to use fully his own capacities, and free to express his feelings.

It takes courage to speak a sincere compliment. It is easy to complain and criticize because you are upset and your anger motivates you, but to stand up and call a good job a �good job�� is a truly rewarding pastime. You cannot possibly make another person as happy as you make yourself.       �Arthur Fettig
