We are the sum total of our Education, Training, and Experience, but - we are also Creatures of Habit - and most of our habits are BAD!
A conscious effort to improve requires WORK! And sometimes, we are our own Worst Enemies! Success in anything needs a goodly supply of Persistence, Determination, and Desire.
I hope the following gives you some measure of ideas to work on Improvement.
Tomorrow a New Day will Dawn - will you be Grateful for another Chance?

APOLOGY
© - Tom Hyland - 9-19-08
Where do I Begin?
Let me count the Ways -
Mea Culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima Culpa!
Through my most grievous Fault - in recent Days!
Along with many Others,
I allowed myself to Dwell -
On Negative Things,
Neither Happy - nor Swell!
War, Politics, Economy,
Prices of Food, Gas, and Oil -
All make your blood Boil,
Anger takes over other Vices.
To refresh my memory last Night,
Popped in my DVD -
Re-watched “The SECRET”
Need to Return to Happy and Free!
Thoughts become Energy,
To Visualize is to See!
Like Energy Attracts Like Energy,
I Need to Feel Positive, for both you and Me!
To this End,
I shall henceforth Try to Be -
More Positive, Happy, and Grateful
For all that I Hear, Smell, Taste, or See!
An Attitude of Gratitude -
Yes, That is for Me!
Ask - Believe - Receive -
Everything in the Universe is - Energy!
I am Happy and Grateful Now That:
I’m Granted Yet Another Day -
To Enjoy Nature and All my Blessings -
And the Forthcoming Bounties that May.
Perchance to Dream -
To Reach Untold Goals -
To Grasp upon a Great Wave,
And Surf Above Life’s Shoals!
As the Lyrics of the Song Goes -
‘You don’t always get what you Want”
But - you do get what you Think!
Eliminate the Negative - CAN’T!
Positive Begets Positive -
That’s the Ticket!
Avoid the Pitfall of Negativity -
Escape from the Dark Thicket!
Want to Soar with the Eagles?
High Up in the Sky?
Then - Don’t be a Night-Owl -
I’ll tell you Why!
To be Bright-Eyed and Bushy-Tailed,
Requires a Good Night’s Sleep -
And Hanging out ‘til Dawn Breaks,
Keeps you Down with the Sheep!
Be a Shepherd -
Be a Leader -
Guide All to Safety,
Go the Extra Meter!
Smile - Hug - Live - Laugh - Love -
Always Give Thanks -
To your Higher Power Above -
Accrue Assets in All your Banks!
Assets Minus Liabilities Equals Net Worth -
Debt is Bad - Really a Curse!
Acquire Wisdom - Take a Chance -
Pay The Piper - then, you may Dance!
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry -
There’s Good Reason Why -
Do Not Tarry - For Tomorrow
May be your Great Goodbye!
Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
Be All you Can Be -
“The Secret”
Tells you the Way!
Think BIG!
Feel Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise -
Avoid all the Negatives -
Most of them are Lies!

This is a sweet poem, well written. It probably represents the general attitude the world has been operating under mostly since the end of WWII.
Best regards,
Leland |

I can thoroughly identify with the above. Like Mr. Ed (below), I can't feel very positive these days. However, you have provided some fine advice as well, Tom. Thank you. Love and peace,

| So glad you go the positive outlook now. I try to be positive, but sad sometimes. I really liked the words to this write. It tells me lots of things I should be doing and am not. Thanks for posting this for us. |

Good, because I sure can't find very many things to be positive about right now. Keep Up The Good Vibes, and the Good Work! |
