I have to agree with all the things enumerated in this post, Atty. But after all the things have been said and done, these three things will boil down into one thing- ATTITUDE.
I’ve found this one which I find very helpful in my journey with life. If I may just quote:
ATTITUDE
(author unknown)
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
“Well,” she said, “I think I will braid my hair today.”
So she did and she had a wonderful day!
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. “Hmmm,” she said,
“I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.”
So she did and she had a grand day!
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. “Well,” she said,
“today I’m going to wear my hair in a ponytail.”
So she did and she had a fun day!
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
“Yeah!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”
Attitude is EVERYTHING!
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply – love generously – care deeply – speak kindly – leave the rest to God.
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass……….. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
You always have nice things to share. Truly inspiring!
Ohhh.. by the way, I do have three things I hate the most:
Have a terrific weekend! 
1) I
2) Me
3) Myself
Just saying.
The words that have been expressed are truly inspirational. You have all demonstrated kindness by sharing which is one of the most beautiful compensation in life we can never help another without helping ourselves.
