On a recent trip to Tasmania, I came across this article in the information folder in our motel room in Hobart, which I’d like to share with you. It made me stop and think which ones improve our lives and which ones we can do without.

Here’s the list:

The most destructive habit: Worry
The greatest joy: Giving
The greatest loss: Self-respect
The most satisfying work: Helping others

The greatest ‘shot in the arm’: Encouragement
The greatest problem to overcome: Fear
The most effective sleeping pill: Peace of Mind
The most crippling failure disease: Excuses
The most powerful force in life: Love
The most dangerous pariah: A gossiper
The world’s most incredible computer: The brain!
The worst thing to be without: Hope
The deadliest weapon: The tongue
The 2 most power-filled words: “I CAN”
