Difficult experiences teach you Life lessons
Are you a fast Learner?

optimist goes to the window in the morning and says:
‘Good morning God!’
A pessimist goes to the window and says:
‘Oh God, morning!’

Have a
Mental Health Day
= Only positives are allowed in today =

Some people complain that roses have thorns
Others are thankful that thorns have roses

Listen to the sounds of silence...

= Two Good Questions =

Many people just plunge head on into each obstacle
They end up with bumps and bruises
And then
Repeat similar self-defeating routines next time around
Without taking the time
To become mindful
To slow down
And
To adjust their survival tactics

Life will throw curves at you to deal with. Make sure to include the following step before moving on. Focus on the experience and ask yourself:

“What did I learn from this?”

“What to do differently, if necessary, next time?

You may think this suggestion is trivial. Working with thousands of people in different settings, in projects and in therapy has taught me otherwise! Winners take responsibility for their actions and weigh outcomes. They learn from the present to get ready for the future. You want to be ‘staying upbeat’? Then think like a winner.

= CHECKPOINT =

During troubled times, holding the reality-mirror to yourself, do you really ask those two basic yet fundamental questions?

“What did I learn from this?”
“What do I do differently, if necessary, next time?”

Participants of seminars and others send me a wealth of upbeat materials. Gratefully, I share some of them with you.

The aim of this Website is more than dispensing ‘feeling good’ messages.

Personal filters shape what we see, hear and read. Turn minuses to pluses in life by fine tuning your filters and build a solid foundation for Staying Upbeat. Stay tuned!

I receive an abundance of upbeat materials and distribute some of these to my "Winning Circle" by e-mail 2-3 times during the year. If you want to be included in the list please let me know.

UPBEAT SELECTIONS:

= ONE MINUTE REALITY TRAINING =

Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today…I did

= PARADOX OF OUR TIMES =

"We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less." ....... "We write more, but learn less; plan more but accomplish less." ...... "We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not years to life"

= LEARN TO LIVE =

"Think highly of yourself because the world takes you at your estimate."......"Don’t count the days, make the days count."......"The world is your mirror. If you face it smiling, it smiles back!"....."I look to the future because that is where I will spend the rest of my life."

……..Contemplate on messages sages leave behind.

= CRACKED POT =

"Constructive outcomes may come out of weaknesses"....."Everybody has flaws" . ..............

..........Personal filters shape what we see, hear and read. Our filters are developed through family, education, religion, media and other influences.
