Hi and welcome to the latest issue of
'Nita's Helping Hands'! I'm glad you're here!
Life has been very hectic with everything going on, plus
I was heading back home after dropping my daughter off at
my Mom's house (she's wanting to visit as many family
members as possible before she leaves for Washington D.C.
in 2 weeks) last weekend when I was hit from behind at a
stop light just north of Indianapolis. Although neither I
nor my car were seriously hurt, I did have a mild case of
whiplash and ended up turning around and heading back to
my Mom's instead of driving the remaining 2+ hours back
home! I spent days on ibuprofen and a heating pad. I'm
nearly back to normal (whatever normal is for me!) but it
sure did slow me down! Not something I want to repeat
ever again!
The weekend before that was wonderful. My significant
other and I spent the weekend in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and
it's SO beautiful there! If you've never been, it's a
definite must-see. It's not only very beautiful, but very
relaxing -- just what we both really needed. The only
problem is we didn't want to leave!
This edition of 'Nita's Helping Hands' includes not only
many great tips, but also wonderful quotes and a fabulous
and much-needed article by Chris Widner. We all need
reminders of how to view and live our lives from time to
time and this article is great for that!
Enjoy!

"Eight Choices You Can Make Today That Will
Change Your Life Forever"
by Chris Widener
The direction of our lives is determined by the choices we
make every day. They accumulate and add up to our ultimate
destiny. Here are eight choices you can make - choices that
will create for you a life of abundance and prosperity in
all areas of your life.
1. Choose to grow personally. This sounds simple but many
people only wish to grow personally. They never choose to
grow by taking action, such as actually exercising, saving
more money etc. Make a decision today to be a person who is
on the never ending journey of personal growth.
2. Choose to always treat others right. We come across all
sorts of people, many of whom will treat us poorly. We can
choose to treat them right, no matter how they treat us.
When they lie, we will tell the truth. When they cheat, we
will play by the rules. We may get the short end of the
stick some times, but in the long-run we will win. And most
importantly, we will be able to sleep at night.
3. Choose to break a bad habit. Take the biggie first.
Tackle it head on. If you don't know what it is, ask a
friend. Then spend every effort you can to break that
habit. Forget about the others, as you will get to them
later. Stop smoking, get out of debt, lose your excess
weight. Exercise the power to choose!
4. Choose to work smarter. Many people I work with feel
like they are out of balance. One of the first things I
do is try to find out how much time they are wasting at
work, which makes them work longer, which throws the rest
of their life into chaos. Getting your work done by
diligently working in the time you have will free your
life up extraordinarily.
5. Choose to see your work as a way to help others, and
not a way to make money. If you put your heart into
helping others, the money will most assuredly come. Spend
time helping others grow and your finances will grow with
it.
6. Choose to become balanced spiritually, emotionally
and physically. Our lives are best when we have these
three major areas in balance. Spend some time cultivating
your spirituality, becoming emotionally healthy, and
physically fit.
7. Choose to sow more than you reap. There are many takers
in this world, but our lives will be better as we become
givers. The world will become better as we become givers.
Give away your time, give away your money, give away your
love.
8. Choose to get home for dinner more often. The family is
the most important group of people you will ever belong to.
Make a decision today to grow in your relationship with
your parents, siblings, spouse and children. This one
choice you will never regret.
One of my favorite quotes: The history of free men is
never written by chance, but by choice - their choice.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Tip:
Blogging is very simple, but there are lots of tricks and
techniques that offer you an amazingly competitive
advantage.
My favorite blogging platform is WordPress, which I learned
all about from Sherman Hu. Sherman has a series of short
online videos that explain practically everything you could
ever want to know about blogging with WordPress. You can
watch 22 of Sherman's videos on WordPress blogging
absolutely free here:

"Redefine the word 'fail.' There is no failure in life
other than not trying. If you want something badly enough,
make an attempt. If you want to paint, get a brush and do
it. If you want to sing, sing. A lot of people get
scared.
They're afraid to fail. Take that word out of your
vocabulary. You don't 'fail.' You've 'tried your best.'"
-- Jane Seymour
