 40 New Year’s
Resolutions to Consider
... 

1.- Walk 10 to 30 minutes each day - and as you walk

SMILE!! 
R.B.
2.- Reserve a bit of time each day - for quiet
meditation.
3.- Listen to good uplifting music
 4.- As you wake up each morning
set some goals to accomplish that day.
5.- Live with the three “E’s” - - Energy,
Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
6.- Enjoy Life - find time to play games
with those you love.
7.- Start reading that book you’ve always
meant to get started. Fill your mind with good
uplifting subjects.
8.- Look up at the sun each day and the moon and stars each
night - enjoy the beauty of God’s creations
9.- Don’t think dreaming is reserved for
while your asleep. Dare to do a little day-
dreaming.
10.- Eat more healthy foods. Remove from your diet some of
those things that really arent making you any healthier.
11.- Don’t postpone for tomorrow what you can do
TODAY!
12.- Make someone smile!! Make them laugh!
13.- Organize your house, your room and your office/desk.
14.- Don’t waste your time worrying about things for which
you have no control over!.
15.- Realize that life is a school - and that we are here to learn
whether the day is happy or sad, good or bad . . . There is always
something POSITIVE you can learn from your experiences.
16.- Patience, Persistance, Positvity - Dont
forget the three P’s.
                                                        17.- Smile more - and
don’t keep it to yourself !
18.- Don’t ever pass up a chance to give
a HUG to someone you care about.
19.- Life is WAY TO SHORT - to be
spending it - with angry or hateful feelings
toward others. Or feeling offended or
bitter over what others have done to you.
 20.- Don’t take life too seriously!
And dont think you’re the center of the universe.
21.- You don’t have to win every
argument! Respect others who may have
a different perspective on things. Be
willing to allow a difference of opinion.
Agree to disagree.
22.- Get over your past - and don’t let it drag you
down. Life isnt a race where only the first person
wins. He wins who gets up everytime he falls.
23.- Quit comparing yourself to others. No
one has walked in your shoes - and you
have not walked in theirs. Quit feeling
sorry for yourself.
24.- No one is in charge of or owes you
happiness out of life. Its up to YOU to
FIND it or to MAKE it.
25.- Remember you may not have
control over what happens to you in life
- but you are in control out of what you
make of such experiences. No one can
steal the smile from your face. . . Only
you can let it go.
26.- Never pass up an opportunity to learn something new - no
matter how old you are.
27.- Be more concerned with what your
Father in Heaven thinks of you - then what
your neigbors may think of you.
28.- Make a list of all the things you are thankful for!

Get on your knees and say a prayer of gratitude without

asking for anything.
29.- No matter how good or how bad things get - always
remember the situation will always eventually change.
30.- When your life has come and gone – it won’t matter
much the house you had, the car you drove, the title you
held. . . . What will matter most will be the relationships
of friendship and love that can continue on into eternity.
31.- Remember what Thumper said - If you
cant say anything nice – then don’t say
anything at all.
32.- Nothing good ever comes of unproductive
envy of others and their material possessions.
33.- Remember the Best is yet to Come!
34.- Don’t let how you feel control what
you do. Decide what you will do – and you
will see that you will have control over how
you feel.
 35.- Open your heart and soul to others
– dont close your heart simply because you are
afraid of it getting broken.
36.- Let your family and friends know how you feel about
them.
37.- Counsel with the Lord in all your doings – and he will
direct your path.
38.- Follow the example of the sunflower –
always keep your face to the light and not to
the shadows.
39.- We only go through life once – you will rarely be able to
return to the “forks in the road” – choose wisely.
40.- Pass this on to all those people you
care about – express your feelings for
them – dont wait till its too late.
Enjoy life – and enjoy the people that make up a part of
it!
And remember – we are not human beings having a
spiritual experience – we are spiritual beings having a
human experience.
Have a great New Year!
Keep Smiling

And pass on your smile to 
all the people you meet!
