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."
