Today’s Message
Trying to Fix Other People
~Alan H. Cohen
“Have you ever felt the need to fix someone?
Let’s face it:
Nothing is more annoying than someone who tries to change you or
coerce you to their way of thinking.
Ultimately you become more defiant.
Why would you expert someone else to respond otherwise?
No one wants to feel fixed. They just want to feel loved.
No wants to feel labeled. They just want to feel appreciated.
No one wants to be seen as defective. They just want to feel whole.
When you appreciate people for who they are,
you create an ideal environment for them to grow.
When you focus on their positive qualities and emphasize their talents,
they will feel so accepted and empowered that their dysfunctions will
have no reinforcement, and melt away naturally.
Advice, pressure, and punishment do not heal.
The great healer is love.”

Always Aim Higher
~ Edmund O’Neill
Click here to listen to today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast
Always aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you’ll discover that when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it’s the right way for you.
Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.
You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.

Today’s Message
Perspectives
~Author Unknown
“One day a father and his rich family took his young son on
a trip to spend a few days on a farm with a very poor family
with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.
When they got back from their trip the father asked his son,
‘How was the trip?’
‘Very good, Dad!’
The father then asked, ‘What did you learn?’
The son answered, ‘I saw that we have a dog at home, and
they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle
of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have
imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio
reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon.’
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, ‘Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we
are!’
Isn’t it true that it all depends on the way you look at things?
If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a
positive attitude toward life, you’ve got everything!
You can’t buy any of these things. You can have all the
material possessions you can imagine, but if you are poor
of spirit, you have nothing.”

Today’s Message-
The Law of the Garbage Truck!
I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane
when suddenly a black car jumped out
of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,
skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and
started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy
almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’
This is when my taxi driver taught me
what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it
and sometimes they’ll dump it on you.
Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let
garbage trucks take over their day.
Life is too short to wake up in
the morning with regrets, so …
‘Love the people who treat you right!
Pray for the ones who don’t!’
See you next week!

Today’s Message-
10 Ways on HOW TO STAY YOUNG
~ George Carlin
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight
and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you
pay ‘them.’
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts,
gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only
person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be A LIVE
while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family,
pets, music, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,
improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the
next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
the moments that take our breath away.
See you next week!

Today’s quote
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”
~anonymous
Today’s tip-
When you see a butterfly, our thoughts may be…what a beautiful creature! How wonderful to fly about freely, bringing beauty to whomever’s path it crosses. We don’t think about the journey that butterfly took to become this awesome display of nature.
This butterfly was once a creeping and colorless caterpillar. Who, may or may not survive harsh weather, a landscaper’s freewheeling tool or just simply the process it must undergo to become that beautiful butterfly.
And that cocoon- some say how they wish they could be in a cocoon. They see it as a “safe” place, a warm and comforting place. But, like the butterfly of this quote, it could also be construed as a dark place, a lonely place, wondering how long before the “light” shines through.
The hope of becoming that beautiful butterfly can inspire. If a little caterpillar can transform into a beautiful butterfly- what are our possibilities? The “transformation” part may be difficult. It may be a quick transformation, it may take longer.
BE PATIENT! Like a butterfly, there is beauty in all of us. When you shed your cocoon and spread your beautiful wings, the world will be waiting.
Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!
