Friends were sharing an article on Facebook today titled "30 things to stop doing to yourself". The article starts with an opening phrase which I like, it says "When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you."
The article also referred to Maria Robinson's quote, “Nobody can go back and start a new
beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” But beyond these few lines, I don't quite resonate with the rest of the article, probably because there is no need for me to "stop" doing any of the things that were mentioned. Rather, it is about adding more to the positive attributes that I have already found. I think it would be more useful to develop my own positive list and wish lists, setting out the things that I should do or do more for myself. Here I go:-1. Spend time nurturing quality relationships, whether it's family, love or friendships
2. My needs are very important
3. Look inward for my happiness
4. Seize every moment, give the best I have to give
5. Pay attention to the beauty of even the smallest things and smallest moments
6. Do something extraordinary
7. Be grateful
8. Be compassionate
9. Be happy
10. Be who I am
11. Be brave
12. Have fun always

The "Make a Difference" Bucket List
Travel to some of my dream destinations including Afghanistan, Burma, Africa and Latin America. Do something meaningful, something that can make a difference to the lives of the people there. But of course, I would like to contribute just as much to local communities here in HK.
