New LIFE List.....I LOVE my Lists

My new list......I like lists....No really, I LOVE LOVE LOVE list.  Here is my new list for me to use, to focus on daily.  I got the idea from a friends blog regarding a new book "The Happiness Project".  A list of personal commandments. I added the book to my wish list and I can't wait to get it.  But of course...for me the list comes first.  :)

1. Get out of bed each morning......
  • dress
  • cover
  • breakfast: enough & on time
  • quiet time: bible, book, journal & smoothie
       "Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, 
         left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed."  (Mark 1:35)

2. Breathe & Be present
          "Wait for the LORD;
               be strong and take heart
                    and wait for the LORD."
   (Ps 27:14)

3. Don't just plan......do it now, do it now, do it now!
         "She watches over the affairs of her household 
           and does not eat the bread of idleness"  (Pr 31:27)

4. Don't be a martyr....no one cares....Be active, be INVOLVED
           "see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living."  (Ps 27:13)

5. Hug, Love, DANCE
           "a time to weep and a time to laugh,
            a time to mourn and a time to dance"
  (Ec 3:4)

6. Live in TRUTH- Tell it & Seek it
           "for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth."  (Ps 26:3)

7. Be today the LEGACY you want to leave
          "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good 
            to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."  (Gen 50:20)

  1. Renee- you can get a lot of information about the book at her blog: http://www.happiness-project.com/

    and I am really enjoying using her toolbox
    http://www.happinessprojecttoolbox.com/toolbox.html which has a place to list your resolutions and then you get to CHECK THEM OFF EACH DAY and it keeps a running tally of the percentage of success.

    yeah--that geeks me.
