Learn to Like the Things That Need to be Done & Start Your Day with a Positive

Step 7: 

Learn to Like the Things That Need to be

 Done Some things need to be done whether we like them or not; for example, mothers caring for their young. They may not be fun and games, and may even be painful. But if we learn to like the task, the impossible becomes possible. 

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

 --St. Francis of Assisi

Step 8:

 Start Your Day with a Positive

 Read or listen to something positive first thing in the morning. After a good night's sleep we are relaxed and our subconscious is receptive. It sets the tone for the day, and puts us in the right frame of mind to make every day a positive day. In order to bring about change, we need to make a conscious effort Andre committed to make positive thoughts and behavior part of our lives. Practice having positive thoughts and behavior daily until they become a habit. William James of Harvard University said, "If you are going to change your life, you need to start immediately and do it flamboyantly."
