Focus ONLY on the GOOD in everyone that you know (^.^)

If you can dream it, you can do it. – Walt Disney

Shanshine power!!!  It was a superb Shanday with my loved ones indoors.  I’m not a huge fan of rain, nevertheless, I bravely attempted going outdoors with my loved ones while it was raining, which I retired happily indoors after the rain did not subside!  Looking forward to more sweet Shandays!

Savour a Super Shanday with loved ones, indoor or outdoors! (^.^)

I volunteered to photograph a couple of tourists while at an alternative rock performance!  They were as pleased as punch!  It was a wonderful Saturday basking in music and great company.

Volunteer your time, heart, mind and soul to someone who needs it (^.^)

Everyone should act up to the motto: Help Ever, Hurt Never. Every educated person should engage himself or herself in selfless service to society with humility and a pure heart. All academic distinctions or even observance of spiritual practices are of no use if there is no love in the heart. Love and compassion are inherent in every person. Each has to share this love with others. Failure to share one’s love is gross ingratitude to society, to which one owes everything. One should give one’s love freely to others and receive love in return. This is the deep significance of human life. – Sathya Sai Baba

Many times we do not realise how fortunate and blessed we are.  Take time to love yourself, and love someone who needs you today.

Being playful and courageous is one of the many facets in my personality.  My loved ones know that mischief is my middle name!  Yesterday, in the midst of supper with two good friends, I had a superb time playing with my tissue prata, which was drowning in condensed milk!  In yesteryears, I loved tweaking my late Grandfather’s hair that sprouted on his facial mole!  He used to wake up grumpily from his nap after my tweaking, and never got angry with me.  He is the best Grandfather ever!

Be playful and courageous! Let out your inner child! (^.^)

Looking UP elevated my optimism levels to greater heights!  Moreover, it prompted me to take concrete and specific actions which were very helpful; shifting mindsets from negative to positive, or from positive to a higher level of optimism.  What I found particularly helpful was the problems that was pervading my mind cease to become problems.  Problems became issues that I could find solutions to.  What was astonishing was not only could I find solutions QUICKLY and EASILY, these solutions were QUALITY!  I love this!  Aside, I am going to catch the movie “UP” when it elevates into cinemas here!

Up – one little word with two alphabets.  Indeed, powerful things come in little packages.

Look UP, not down.  If it helps, wear funny shoes to make you laugh when you look down!  Be a happy leader! (^.^)

We had three little words yesterday.  Today, we have another four more powerful little words – Look UP, not down!  For some interesting reason, looking up when you are feeling down makes you feel more optimistic.  Try it!

Be a happy leader in the various areas of your life!  Being a happy leader can mean that your group of people working with you is a team, your followers are happy to go to work, you are happy to be in a leadership position, your team members are happy to work with you and trust your leadership skills and judgements.  What other ways can being a happy leader mean?  What does being a happy leader mean to you?

I told a few loved ones “I love you”!  To see the smiles and pleasure lighting up their faces was a joy!  This is definitely something I will continue doing on a regular basis!

Tell someone special “I love you!” (^.^)

These three little words exemplify your courage, sincerity and commitment to yourself, your character, your life and the people that you say this to.

These are in line with capitalising on strengths such as social/personal/emotional intelligence (how you express it is an art and science in itself); bravery (it takes courage!); genuineness (by being true to yourself and the one you express to); and loving and allowing oneself to be loved.

It can be anyone that you love – your family, your husband, your wife, your children, your friends, your partner, etc.  Give it a go!

I did not get the number of an attractive stranger because the most attractive (not to say the best) are my friends already!!!  Nevertheless, I shared the meaning and value with my friends.  It was wonderful seeing stunned and passionate reactions when I shared!  I encourage you to use these actions as often as you wish.  It is not for one day, but for many more days in your life to act upon.

Indeed I was smiling yesterday very much!  I had asked a few friends for a night at the Asian Civilisations Museum!  It was exciting to have the museum open till midnight.  They should open it till 3am!  Alas, my mobile’s battery died, and I could not rendevous with them!  Nevertheless, my mobile’s battery is well and alive now, and I have invited them out this evening again for a couple of events!

Remember to get an attractive stranger’s number today!  It doesn’t matter whether it is the right number.  Just do it!
