Be Happy :o)

This entry is inspired by a Bottom Line/Personal interview with Scott Hamilton.

How do you be happy when you have every reason not to be? I will let you research Scott's background and learn about what an amazing man he is. For this entry, some tidbits on how to be positive, even when things are rotten around you.

1. Consider all problems temporary
2. Don't face problems alone
3. Find strength in challenges
4. Don't delay difficult conversations
5. Sell your smile...even to yourself
6. Fight for change.

I think these are wise considerations and worth of some thought and contemplation. I know that I absolutely try and embody several of these principles :o)

    I loved this, Ken. I adore Scott Hamilton and am not at all surprised that he would live by such a creed. We'd all do well to follow him. I'm saving these, thanks for sharing this with all of us.

    Wonderful advice from a remarkable athlete and apparently a pretty great guy.

    You know, I want to say that I keep these thoughts close at hand, Ken. Glad you posted them. I think I saw Scott on 'The Today Show' this week, and really enjoyed his interview.

    Again, good post!

    Thanks Ken! I think it is easy to forget these things somethings. I do try to remember most of the things listed, with the addition of trying to surround myself with positive people and trying to remember what is positive. It is easy to think of what is going wrong so I try to make a habit of stopping those thoughts and replacing them with what I am thankful for.
