				My gratitude to my dear friend Violetta for her valuable contribution of the Daily Thoughts to this web site.
			Today, in a special way, try to see only the good in the people who share their life with you, in your home, your work, or your place of study. Today, especially look for the best and more outstanding of each person. For just today: Don’t complaint, don’t critize, and don’t be a judge for everybody. Watch, observe, look and recognize only good things, starting for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can be a cultivator of happiness, hope and noble and altruistic intentions, being example and promoter of positive and noble attitudes and success. It’s not enough only to preach and teach, we should give example. How can a selfish and rude person talk about goodness and good behavior? How can a selfish person talk about equanimity and fairness? Think of this: “Nobody can give what they don’t have.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let’s try to learn today to give. Today, let’s make a charity, help someone, solve a problem to somebody we know, to somebody we love or somebody in a great need. Let’s do it with discretion and truthfully generosity. To learn to give prepare us spiritually and psychologically to receive everything that the universe can give us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every one of the human being that live in this planet, are here accomplishing a mission. Some have the mission to be: merchants, professors, soldiers, bank employees or bus drivers. Moreover their mission can include the responsibility to be: mothers, wifes/husbands, neighbors, photographer, etc. Each one of us deserves respect and consideration for what we do; and every one of us has the moral responsibility to be excellent in what we do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.

Enjoy your life, enjoy what you do, what you see, what you learn each moment. Laugh a little bit each day, perhaps you can laugh of yourself. Do something unforeseen, funny or pleasant once in a while. It’s a very important part of your learning to be a relaxed, happier and more positive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To think that we are the only ones that can do things right and that nothing is right if we don’t do it ourselves……..it’s arrogance and vanity. Nobody has appointed us as judges, repairers, or critics of the humanity. Let’s live and learn our experiences, because we learn more of our mistakes. Let’ s permit that each one learn their lessons, nobody has entrusted us the correction or the supervision of the people around us. Let’s live and let live. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you face a difficulty, calm down and study quietly the issues, you can achieve a more objective vision of the problem and find the solution. You are a gifted person with enough intelligence to convert the difficulties in opportunities of well-being. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That all your TODAY actions and words show your love for life. Be thankful for the good things that happen to you so you will deserve them and multiply them. And for the difficulties because they are always an opportunity to learn, grow and exceed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUILD STRONG AND SOLID COMMUNICATION BRIDGES AMONG YOU AND OTHERS WITH WHOM YOU HAVE TO SHARE YOUR JOURNEY. PERHAPS TODAY YOU CAN HELP THEM...AND PERHAPS TOMORROW YOU MIGHT NEED THEIR HELP. ACCOMPANY HIM, WHO SUFFERS FROM FAILURE, GIVE HIM COURAGE TO REBUILD HIS PATH; REAFFIRM WITH SINCERE APPLAUSE, EVERY STAGE THAT ANY ONE IS OVERCOMING AND ACHIEVING. BE GENEROUS IN IMPROVEMENT AND APPLAUSE; LIMIT AND REDUCE YOUR CRITIC'S INSTINCT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TODAY SHOULD BE THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. FROM TODAY ON MAY ALL BE BETTER,  CLEARER,  HEALTHIER, CLEANER, HONEST, LOVING, WITH A MOST HIGHER LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE. FROM TODAY ON RENEW YOURSELF WITH DECISION TO BETTER YOURSELF WITH SINCERITY, COMPROMISE AND HAPPINESS. YOUR POSITIVE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PAST ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR OBTAINING TODAY ... THE BEST RESULTS. YOU CAN DO IT. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE EFFORT OF EACH INSTANT, IN YOUR WORK, IS LIKE THE BLOW OF AN AX AGAINST THE TRUNK OF A GREAT TREE. THE FIRST BLOW DOES NOT CAUSE THE TREE EVEN A TREMOR, NOR THE SECOND BLOW, NOR THE THIRD. EACH BLOW, IN ITSELF, IS INSIGNIFICANT, IN APPEARANCE. NEVER THE LESS,  AS A RESULT OF YOUR CONTINUOUS BLOWS, THE TREE WILL FINALLY FALL. THE SAME WAY, YOUR CONTINUOUS EFFORTS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW, WILL BRING YOU THE ACHIEVEMENTS THAT YOU SEARCH. PERSISTENCE AND CONSTANTLY ARE CONDITIONS FOR  THE FINAL VICTORY. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greet this day with sincere optimism and certain that it can be the best day of your life. At times a single word, an isolated deed, a certain act, can determine a total change in your life; look attentive, with faith, with optimism and positivism any circumstance that might come your way today, it could be the key to a better quality of life for the rest of your days. Today you might meet the person that will transform your life, or make the best choice of your career...it could be today...at any moment. Stay alert, open, confident and optimist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smile healthy happiness to whom you find in your way! Show kindness and give others  cordial greetings and words of sincere affection, so that you radiate warmth and influence positively in the welfare that should reign around you. It smooths out and ennobles your heart and shares with the other people the exceptional miracle of the love.   Attend with kindness and patience to the people with who you should relate to, begin TODAY to create a piece from paradise in your surroundings.
