Life Power Tip Challenge your personal viewpoints. Remember that your perspective on anything is only one opinion. That includes your opinion about yourself. Every now and then, ‘put on another colored pair of glasses’ and see the world differently. You may find some brand new perspectives related to an area in which you were previously stuck. As in the words of Gelett Burgess, “If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead”. Action Donate blood to the local Red Cross. Challenge Collect all your family’s and friend’s birthdates in your calendar and send them cards, on time this year. Quote Do yourself a favor and master the art of money. Treat it as an honored guest in your life, one who will quickly flee if you do not treat her well, yet one who will stay and enrich your life beyond measure if you treat her with care and respect. -Philip E.
