Immaturity is thinking that you have all the
answers. Wisdom is knowing that you don't.
Weakness is wanting to control everything
around you. Strength is gracefully
accepting and valuing what is. Insecurity is
the constant, gnawing desire to have more
and more. Confidence is knowing that you
already are enough. Failure is thinking that
you can advance yourself by pushing others
down. Success is understanding that the
more you lift others up, the more you'll be
lifted yourself. Despair is committing
yourself to shallow, superficial things that
too soon will wither and die. Joy is filling
your world and your life with the things that
truly matter. Every moment, you are fully
capable of living with wisdom, strength,
confidence, success and joy. It's not a
matter of chance, but always a matter of
choice. And you can make the choices now
that will surely take you there.
understand that knowledge is a most powerful attribute one can have. When I was in my late
30's I started to have all kinds of problems, ie: hot flashes, irritability, insomnia. Of course I
never would of thought that my body was changing- Not me! Well I was what is known as
perimenopausal. Now being over 50 years old, the peri part has been removed! I've had to

6 STEPS TO WELLNESS
1. Become more knowledgeable about your health status . Make a commitment to read at
least one health article each month.
2. Make at least one health promise to yourself and keep it! Example, "I promise to eat three
vegetables/fruits per day."
3. Schedule your annual physical exam. If you haven't had your pelvic this year, remember that
your reproductive and sexual health are important to your total health and well-being. Men,
also get your colon and prostrate checked.
4. Foster supportive and healthy relationships.
Nurture friendships and relationships that sustain you, and END those that drain or
dishonor you.
5. Create an altar. Place pictures, candles and other things that bring you peace. Pray or
meditate, ask your Supreme Being for the peace and joy that comes from a spirit-filled life.
6. Make physical exercise a part of your daily life. Find big and small ways to be active. Do
sit-ups, walk during lunchtime or join an exercise or dance class.
This is your life…It’s never too late to make a change. We must ensure that our health-mental,
physical and spiritual-is intact.
Good luck and God Bless.
take an active role in your own life, things are far more likely to go well
for you. It's easy to blame your troubles on such influences as the
weather, the government, the economy, the media or the culture. Yet
it can be exceedingly difficult to do anything about those things.
Instead, step up and accept responsibility for all the factors that
affect your life. When you take responsibility, what you get is control.
Even if you didn't create the situation, look first to yourself to create
a positive and successful response to it. Even if the challenges you
face are not your fault, begin to treat them as your responsibility and
you will begin to have control over them. See your future not as the
inevitable result of your past. Visualize your future as the best, most
positive, most valuable, most creative response to your present
possibilities. Your future can be so much more than a mere
extrapolation of your past. Take responsibility, and your future will
express the best of who you are.
