How to Be Happier Working Through Your To Do List

Now one would think of eating their grandma, but I read that the kids said, “Let’s eat grandma!” Sounds terrible but if you add a comma it’s a different experience. “Let’s eat, grandma!”

That’s a critical writing mistake that completely changes the outcome of the conversation, but the subconscious mind has a challenge with the actual words we use as well. The self-talk words we use play a huge role in the way our days and lives turn out.

What Moves You To Give a Hoot?

Have you been told, “You have to give”? The religion I grew up with was very emphatic about it. You’ve probably heard it has to be a certain percentage of your income and that, if you don’t give, God will not bless you.

And there are those that definitely take unfair advantage of this, but at the same time you will find that the need to give or contribute in some way to others is a need you have deep inside. Discover what moves you to give and give from your heart.
