"POSITIVITY

You know you are having a good day when...

You wake up and you say to yourself, "This will be a good day."

You decide to like what they are serving in the cafeteria.

You decide your coworkers do not control your feelings.

You know you'll get home eventually, even if traffic is slow.

You absolutely love your pillow when it's time to sleep." ~David Leonhardt, The Happy Guy
"TREASURE

Imagine opening a treasure chest. Pull the latch open. Listen to the rusty
hinges as you slowly lift the lid. Sense the anticipation, the thrill that in a
moment you know you will come face to face with treasure beyond your wildest dreams.

Lift that lid higher. Don't worry about the squeaking from the rusty hinges; that's just the sound of treasure long gone unappreciated. That's it. Lift a little higher. It's almost open.

Ah, now feast your eyes...on your life!

Now isn't that something to treasure?" ~David Leonhardt, The Happy Guy

"Too angry, too often? Try visualizing a calm, relaxing experience. Draw on your imagination to transport yourself to a place where anger just does not fit. Imagine yourself relaxing in this experience. It will be much easier to let go of the anger when you are feeling relaxed." ~David Leonhardt, The Happy Guy

"Wake up and get started on the right foot. Think positive. Think of something good about your life. Think of something good about your possessions. Think of something good about your friends and family. Think of something you like doing. Now visualize the best day you can have, surrounded by the things and people and situations you love. Start your day thinking positive and the rest of the day will be better than it would be otherwise." ~David Leonhardt on Positivity

"We can do great things if we set our minds, no our entire beings to it. Enthusiasm is an uplifting feeling that spreads like wildfire and makes things happen. If there is something great you can do, for the world, for your family, for yourself, get enthused today." ~David Leonhardt, The Happy Guy
