Make Sure Your Picture Is Full of Life &amp; Happiness, &amp; At The End of The Day You Don&#8217;t Look At It &amp; Wish You Had Painted Something Different! &#8211; Unknown </strong></span></h3>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-501" title="sunrise" src="http://simonpreacher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sunrise.jpg" alt="sunrise Its A New Day!" width="500" height="334" />D</strong><strong>on&#8217;t waste your time on things that are not important!</strong> As you go through the day, watch your thoughts. For the future depends on what you think of today. You reap what you sow!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t waste time pondering on negative thoughts. They are of no value and save no useful purpose! Consciously choose what you should think of and let it be something positive.</p>
<p>Watch your attitude towards others! Should you waste your day being angry with someone? Is there any reward you get for doing that? NO!</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="font-family: georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted.  ~Ruth E. <span class="misspell">Renkl</span></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Don&#8217;t spend your day arguing with people. Nothing wrong with productive arguments but if you keep on arguing and getting stressed because you want to win an argument, you gain nothing from it. Stay away from arguments that takes you nowhere.</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="font-family: georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.  ~Stephen Vincent <span class="misspell">Benét</span></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Live your day productively. Do the things that are important to you. Tell your loved ones, you love them. Pick up that phone and call someone you haven&#8217;t spoken with for a long time. Tell someone you care and understand. Give someone time by listening to them.</p>
<p>If you are working, do those things that are productive. Don&#8217;t spend the day doing unproductive tasks or gossiping or criticizing other people. You are better than that!</p>
<p>You are in charge of your day. There are times when there are emergencies beyond your control &#8211; that&#8217;s understandable. Apart from that, you are in charge of how your day should be lived. You&#8217;re in charge of your attitude and disposition.</p>
<p><strong>You Make A Choice</strong></p>
<p>No one can make your day greater and joyful if you are not willing to make it that way. Choose to be happy, loving, giving, hardworking and cheerful throughout the day! Seize the day! &#8211; Carpe Diem.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn&#8217;t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I&#8217;m going to be happy in it &#8211; Groucho Marx</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to define validation in my own way. I believe VALIDATION simply mean APPRECIATION. Being able to appreciate someone no matter what they have done or what they look like. My question is, do you find time to validate those people around you? Do you find time to just simply look at something that is good in other people and just appreciate that instead of looking at their faults? My point is, you can make a difference in people&#8217;s lives appreciating them, putting a smile in their face, rather than blaming and criticizing them. Watch this movie&#8230;..I don&#8217;t wanna say anything more. After this movie, you will understand the power and impact that emanates from validation. Let your life be changed from TODAY. BEGIN VALIDATING OTHER PEOPLE IF YOU HAVEN&#8217;T BEEN DOING SO. You will make a great impact in their lives. The LOVE will spread across the world. VALIDATION IS CONTAGIOUS &amp; IT&#8217;S GOOD. SPREAD VALIDATION</p>
<p>[youtube]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk980jV7Ao[/youtube]</p>
<p>As you can see from the movie, people are simply looking for someone who can just appreciate what they are doing. They are not asking for much. It&#8217;s not your money, or your talent they are looking for. They just want to see you appreciating them. Look around, Begin validating those around you. <strong>Tell them how <span style="color: #ff0000;">AWESOME</span> they are. How <span style="color: #ff0000;">GREAT</span> they are. How<span style="color: #ff0000;"> FANTASTIC</span> they are. How <span style="color: #ff0000;">IMPORTANT</span> </strong><strong>they are </strong><strong>and that you <span style="color: #ff0000;">APPRECIATE</span> them from the bottom of your heart</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Validate your wife from today onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your parents/guardians from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong> Validate your kids from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your relatives from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your employees from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your business partners from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your customers/clients from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your community leaders from today </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate those in authority </strong><strong>onwards.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate your neighbors </strong><strong>onwards.</strong><strong> Who is my neighbor you might say&#8230;.Go and read the story of the good Samaritan, you will know who your neighbor is!</strong></li>
<li><strong>Validate, Validate, Validate don&#8217;t look for validation back, do it from your heart.</strong></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Your respect will go far with validation. </strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Your business will grow wide and large with validation.</strong></span></li>

<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>You&#8217;ll change someones&#8217; life and boost their self-esteem with validation.</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Validation is a Difference Maker.<br />
</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Don&#8217;t underestimate the POWER &amp; IMPACT OF VALIDATION</strong></p>
<p>Always To Your Full Potential</p>
