Stop and consider
Before you choose to become angry, consider that your anger
is not likely to achieve anything. Remind yourself that
there is a more positive and productive response available
to you.<P>
Before you allow an unexpected distraction to throw you off
course, consider that you do have another choice. You can
choose to move quickly beyond the distraction, and to stay
focused on your original task.<P>
When you're tempted to feel resentful or sorry for yourself,
stop and consider that such feelings will only intensify
your difficulties. Choose instead to feel gratitude and to
experience the real empowerment it can bring.<P>
If you just don't feel like making the effort, stop and
reconsider. Make the most of each opportunity to create
value before that opportunity slips away.<P>
When it seems that nothing is going your way, consider that
in every defeat there are the seeds of triumph. Choose to
find the positive aspects and to build on them.<P>
Before you give your time, energy and effort to negativity,
stop and thoughtfully consider the implications of what
you're about to do. Give yourself the chance to choose a
more positive and enriching path.<P>
