I think I've read every book by Richard Carlson (DON'T SWEAT

THE SMALL STUFF and DON'T WORRY, MAKE MONEY, to

name just a few) and have long been inspired by his writings . . . so

imagine my surprise when I came across a Nightingale-Conant

program just available on audio cassette: CREATING MIRACLES

EVERY DAY.

I loved every minute; in fact, my only disappointment is that there

were only two cassettes.

As the subtitle implies, by listening, you get ideas for HOW TO

TURN ORDINARY MOMENTS INTO EXTRAORDINARY

EXPERIENCES . . . it really got me thinking about how I could

do just that--and gave me specific suggestions on what's needed

for me to view the world differently.

Among them:

1. To put yourself in a state of gratitude, ask yourself,

"Could this be the last day of my life?"

2. If the person knows you appreciate them, it brings out the

best in them.

3. Describe the average American in two words or less:

Easily bored.

4. Be sure to tell people in your family how much you love them.

5. Life is rarely exactly as we meant it to be. The sooner

we accept this, the happier we will be.

6. Life will not be easier or make us happier when things

change. Life is the way it is.

7. We are all here for a purpose.

8. We are all special and deserve to be treated that way.

9. Everything that happened in your past is just a thought,

and you can let it go.

10. Your life is not your enemy, but your thinking can

sure be.

11. It's a lot easier to change your thinking than the nature of

life.

12. Imaging yourself at your own funeral allows you to be very

reflective about what you want your life to stand for.

13. If you practice being negative, you'll be a very negative

person. Better to practice positive thinking.

14. Ask at dinner: What was the best thing that happened?

What did you see that inspired you? Did you see somebody

being nice to somebody else?

15. Mother Teresa said, "We can't do great things on this

Earth. But we can do small things with great love."
