Another year has whizzed by and the New Year signals the beginning of another dawn. It opens a new Gate-of-opportunity for those who want to accomplish their new goals and achieve what they have resolved to change or improve in their lives. As 2010 ends, I am certain that most of us have pondered on its “learning moments” and have set significant resolutions and goals for 2011. I wish to share some thoughts that friends and well wishers have shared me. I think they are great tools to bring with us as we storm the gate of our new horizon.

BRIGHT THOUGHTS FOR THE NEW YEAR
posted by: Agnes Angeles
1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is God & ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.-George Carlin

PLEDGE OF COMMITMENT…
By: Jill Roach, Freelife’s Royal Ambassador
· Pay less attention to yourself and more attention to other people
· Focus on the positive, not the negative
· Listen first, talk later
· Criticize only when your criticism is helpful
· Never speak badly about anyone
· Never complain about anything
· Perform an act of kindness every day
This will have a profound effect on your happiness and bring you peace of mind.
The secret to substantial and enduring happiness has nothing to do with putting yourself first. We are sharing with you that happiness and fulfillment in your Free Life is about doing less for yourself and more for others. This is not a revolutionary concept. It is the essential message of many great leaders.
We are probably not saying anything you do not know. And you may be much further along than we are in making selflessness a permanent part of your Free Life. Still, as we are sure you've discovered, putting others first is a commitment that seems to require constant attention. And that is precisely why we are asking you -- as we are asking ourselves -- to renew that commitment now.
Smile when you see your teammates. Give them the time and attention they need to share their dreams and ambitions with you. Give them the advice they desire and be quiet when they do not want any. Become the person they turn to when the chips are down. Learn to love their peculiarities and encourage them to overcome their faults. Above all, be loyal to them.
Be a reliable and steady resource for your business partners. Assist them to achieve their goals -- not because you want their support but simply because you want them to succeed.
And do something for the teammates you do not know.
Make this outward focus a natural part of your FreeLife business. Do it purposefully and deliberately until it becomes second nature to you.
This is not the kind of goal one can achieve in a single year. It will be on our list next year. Perhaps it will be on your list too.
