A Magic Way of Going

I have had a poem/verse, written by Maurice T. O'Callaghan, pinned up on my board at work for about three years now.

It's a photocopy of a handout from one of Mr. O'Callaghan's speaking engagements - I don't even remember attending one of his seminars so it may have been given to me by someone.  As I put my coat on before heading home last week, one of the lines caught my eye and I thought, "Now these are life lessons that I want my children to learn."

I wanted to share it with you lovelies today!

A MAGIC WAY OF GOING

[source]

1.  Be generous in your praise and support of others.

2.  Forgiveness is freedom.  Put your hate, anger and revenge in

 the garbage can where they belong.

[source]

3.  Learn to think creatively.  Solutions live in your imagination.

[source]

4.  See life positively.  Every problem is an opportunity for those with eyes to see.

[source]

5.  There is no growth without pain.  Birds always sing after the rain.

6.  Be grateful for your gifts, your country and for those you love.

[source]

7.  Value the magic in each other.

[source]

8.  Learn to laugh at life and at yourself.  Most of what you worry about

will still be here long after you are gone.

[source]

9  Find time to do the things you love.  Develop a wish list and start checking it off.  

This moment is all you have.

[source]

10.  Be considerate, caring and honest in everything you say and do.
