THINGS TO KEEP YOU FIT

You are what you eat -andwhat you don't eat. Similarly, life depends
on what you keep and what you don't keep. There are many things in
life that people may keep, but onlya few are truly worth keeping. Here
is a list of what to keep (and how) for a brighter, happier and more
fulfilling life.
1) Keep calm. Life can be unnerving and if you don'tmake an effort to
keep collected and focused, you could easily lose your cool.Take
regular, conscious deep breaths to calm and center yourself.
2) Keep your chin up. Not only is it good for your posture and
diminishes your double chin, it also helps you maintain an "I can
handle it" attitude. By keeping your chin up, you can keep your head
above water.
3) Keep your spirits high. Always maintain a positiveand joyful
attitude. Remember that no one can perk you up like yourself. Keep
your spirits high when the going gets rough by focusing on your dreams
and counting your blessings.
4) Keep your word. The true measure of a man is ifhe keeps his word.
Honorable and trustworthy is the man who stands by what he says and
promises. It is important to think well before speaking because once a
word is uttered andreleased into the universe, its vibrations could no
longer be erased.
5) Keep in time with your inner drummer. Don't be swayed by others
into following the confusing beat of their drums. Although it is
sometimes necessary to adjust to the pace of others, it is best to
keep in step with your personal rhythm and to dance to your own music.
6) Keep in touch with the child in you. The source of creativity in
your life is that little child within you. He questions, he marvels,
he imagines and invents. Stay in touch with him, and be young and
creativefor life!
7) Keep abreast of the times. The world is movingso fast. Know what's
happening, what's in style,what's au courant, what's relevant, what's
important.Learn the hottest trends and the latest in technology. Don't
be caught in a time warp or you'll be left behind.
8) Keep in shape. Your shape shows your state of health. Your body is
the vessel that you journey through life in. Keep it healthy and
strong. Don't be one of those people who say, "I'm in shape; round is
a shape!"
9) Keep your mouth shut. People talk too much. We language ourselves
to our own destruction and defeat. Know when to talk and when to shut
up. Avoid being too verbose. Oftentimes, silence speaks more
eloquently than words.
10) Keep good friends. Good friends are hard to find. Nurture
friendships that make your plight through life easier, more wonderful
and meaningful. Truly poor is the man who has no good friends.
11) Keep great memories, not heavy objects. In the very end, good
memories of life are what we will be left with, not jewels and riches
that we can't bring when we finally go. Live each moment beautifully.
Linked together, these magical moments create a magnificent life.
12) Keep a diary. Writing a journal is therapeutic. Record the
important events in your life, your dreams and aspirations, even your
failures and disappointments . When you trace back events in your
life, you are bound tolearn lessons from them aswell as find great
inspiration and strength.
13) Keep saying grace and thanks. Blessed is he who says grace before
he eats and gives thanks for all thegifts he receives daily. Maintain
a thankful attitude and focus on your blessings instead of
disappointments .
14) Keep on moving forward. The universe moves forward in time. Don't
get stuck in yesterday; make an effort to move ahead to a better life.
Drop those unnecessary pieces of material and emotional baggage that
weigh you down and keep you from flying to your loftiest dreams.
15) Keep out of danger. Hewho exposes himself to danger finds it.
Don't courtdanger; avoid it. As they say, an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. Look out for number one (that's you!), and
always stay safeand sound.
16) Keep up the good work. Success is built uponsuccess. The more you
do, the more you achieve; the more you achieve, the better you get at
doing it. Make success a habit by keeping up the good work.
17) Keep young. Do everything in your power to stay strong, supple and
youthful. Think young; feelyoung. A wise man once said "It is never
too late to be what you might have been." Remember that ageis a number
and that youth is an attitude.
18) Keep on dancing. Life isa dance through space andtime. Embellish
whatever music life plays for you with your own fresh orchestration
and creative choreography. Be excited in your heart and keep your feet
light with happiness.
