15 For 2015
Daily Reminders for a Stellar Year
By Jerry Posner

1.   Sometimes a single act of kindness changes everything.
2.   Appreciate and treasure each moment … especially this one.
3.   Need courage? Recall inspirational people and their deeds.
4.   Preparation reduces fear and shrinks worry.
5.   Angry? Count to twenty, slowly. Still angry? Do it again.
6.   Expect miracles.
(If that doesn’t work, notice the ones that already exist.)
7.   Gratitude: feel it, express it, promote it. Be a grati-tutor!
8.   More facts = better beliefs.
9.   Message from your Future-Self: love more, kvetch less.
10. If it’s too difficult to forgive and forget, just choose one.
11.  Put on your (rational) thinking cap … and leave it on.
12. Courtesy is fundamental, indifference is the enemy.
13. Choose your attitude; many fine options available now.
14. Positive expectations just might skew the odds in your favor.
15. What we do, and how we do it, always matters.

“Since there’s always a choice … choose wisely!”

7. Allow for unplanned miracles.

8. Tell at least one person a day, “I love you and I’m glad you’re here.”

12. Taking things for granted is the opposite of gratitude — so don’t!

1. Walk, don’t jump to conclusions.

 
2. Feeling stressed? Take a “gratitude break.”

 
3. “Mind the gap” – increase awareness of the space between stimulus and response – and CHOOSE your responses.

 
4. Banish old negative, stupid biases. Nurture groovy ones!

 
5. Generate positive, constructive self-fulfilling prophesies.

 
6. Avoid assumptions – ask good questions … listen carefully.

 
7. Be thankful for the millions and millions of people who do their jobs so we can do ours.

 
8. Great to count blessings, even better to write them down.

 
9. Brightening someone’s day will brighten yours as well.

 
10. Practice doesn’t make perfect … practice makes habits.

 
11. Demonstrate and feel love instead of just talking about it.

 
12. Plant seeds every day. Keep planting. They will eventually sprout. Water them with intention and attention.

 
13. Skate to where the puck is going, not where it’s at. (Gretzky)
