The Answers

Consider this:

1.         You must have the courage to express your true feelings.  If you do, you are in the minority.  Most people rarely do.

2.         To do so is not the behavior of a healthy person.  It is important to see yourself as unique and special, and never compare yourself with others.

3.         If you don’t, who will?  Discover what you have to offer and move to excel in it.

4.         If you do, in any area of your life, you are cheapening your existence.  Stand up for yourself and command the best for you.

5.         If you feel, tolerated, overlooked, or alone, the good in life is eluding you.  Seek counsel on changing your outlook and/or your attitude.  If you feel overlooked, take a bold approach to becoming noticed in a positive sense.

6.         A good answer is yes.  The essence of life is to be able to enjoy the convenience of one’s own company, as well as that of others.

7.         If the answer is yes, it means that your self-esteem is low, and you probably don’t see yourself as worthy of good treatment.

8.         To forgive is to release the natural flow of good that comes your way when you let go of bitter, embedded feelings that can block your blessings.

9.         No one can live well in a home when they don’t enjoy their surroundings.  If your answer is no, you must work to make your living environment enjoyable.

10.       To be content with all phases of your existence allows you to be comfortable even as you strive for improvement.

11.       The day drags by, and tomorrow is unanticipated when the past is mourned.  Regrets keep you from being content with your present life.

12.       There is no good in bad right in wrong, and no quality in repeated error.  Make a vow today to change your pattern.  You can, if you believe you can.

13.       This is the foundation for living well.  Your mind isn’t troubled, your spirit isn’t bothered, and your soul is at rest.

14.       It’s essential to find a way to seep some pleasure into the mundane of your daily routine.
