Affirmation for December 8, 2010: Success

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
Thought of the day:
Success may not be as elusive as we thought. If all it takes it have a firm grasp on success is to laugh often and much, or to help someone else in this world, everyone, everywhere has it within reach.
Today, we'd like to acknowledge all those struggling with PCOS or infertility. The holidays can be a depressing time of year, and we would just like to remind you that there are many ways to touch the world, and we are grateful for all the ways you have changed the lives of others for the better, whether you realize it or not! Keep hoping and keep trying.
Have a successful day!
