Happy Birthday, Rebecca! I warmly and heartily commend and congratulate You on your profile, and, the important, vital and necessary work that You are doing through the Catherine J. Snow Stroke Foundation, to raise public awareness and consciousness, on the serious and important issues surrounding the development and manifestation of stroke in the American population! Thank you Rebecca, for the precious and priceless gift of your friendship; and may You always know how very Proud I am of You!
Eliminate all BUTs from your life. Think about what the effect of BUT is in your communication to yourself and others. When we talk to ourselves we often use BUT to distort our reality in a way that leads us to go down familiar negative paths. We tell ourself a postive and then use BUT to take it away a lot of times. We tell someone that we love them and then we spoil it by saying BUT this is happening which our special person interprets as we don't really love them. I am successful BUT I am not as motivated as I want to be. Does this take away from the pleasure of being successful or does it take away the success altogether.
Use the word AND instead; you will find that you are more at peace with yourself, and your friends and family appreciate the positive talk. You will even find it easier to get rid of that other BUTT when you stop using BUT altogether.
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace. ~William Ewart Gladstone
