EIGHT STEPS TO AN ENTHUSIASTIC LIFE

FIRST:

Stop running yourself down. There's a lot that's right in you. Empty your mind of your failures and mistakes and start respecting yourself.

SECOND:

Eliminate self-pity. Start thinking of what you have left, instead of dwelling on what you have lost. List your assets on a piece of paper. Quit thinking of yourself. Think of helping others. Actually go out and find someone who needs the kind of help you can give and give it. For you will never have a continuing flow of abundance if your thought is only for yourself .

FOURTH:

Remember Goethe: "He who has a firm will molds the world to himself. Almighty God put a tough thing into human beings called the will. Use it.

FIFTH:

Have a goal and put a timetable on it.

SIXTH:

Stop wasting your mental energy on gripes and post-mortems, and start thinking about what to do now. Amazing things happen when you think constructively.

SEVENTH:

Every morning and every evening of your life articulate these words - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Ph.4: 13).

EIGHTH:

Every day three times say ; "This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24).

"Enthusiasm can remake your life."

Psalm 5:3

Each morning I will look to you in heaven and lay my requests before you, praying earnestly.
