Six Steps  To A

Happier You!

by Sierra Silverspoon

Speak it! Always say just what you really think….but in polite language.  Some will like you…others will fear you, but all will respect you.

Back up. Don’t go near people or situations that appear unhealthy or suspect from a distance.  Save yourself some grief.  Listen to that inner voice and keep walking.

Forget it.  Adopt this attitude…whatever happens today ends at midnight.  I will not carry the past into the next day.  And I will not worry about tomorrow.  I will greet each day with anticipation for good and with gratitude.   MORE
