I found a small "Dear Abby" column that I ripped out of a newspaper forty years ago and it's still really good. It was written by a Wanda Carter in St. Augustine, Florida. She put together this list in alphabetical order of positive phrases that she recites to help her get through difficult times and has given it to many other people. I think she would be happy to know that I am posting it here many decades later.
And, I am throwing out the article after I finish typing. (Yes, I did throw it out.)
"To Achieve Your Dreams, Remember Your ABC's
Avoid negative sources, people, places, and things and habits.
Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle.
Don't give up, and don't give in.
Enjoy life today; yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.
Family and friends are hidden treasures. Seek them and enjoy their riches.
Give more than you planned to give.
Hang on to your dreams.
Ignore those who try to discourage you.
Just do it!
Keep on trying. No matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.
Love yourself first and most.
Make it happen.
Never lie, cheat or steal. Always strike a fair deal.
Open your eyes, and see things as they really are.
Practice make perfect.
Quitters never win, and winners never quit.
Read, study and lean about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating.
Take control of your own destiny.
Understand yourself in order to better understand others.
Visualize it.
Want it more than anything.
Xccellerate your efforts.
You are unique of all of God's creations. Nothing can replace you.
Zero in on your target and go for it!
