Making Meaningful Change

As I am approaching a maternity leave, I find myself reflecting on what I've done, what I am doing, and where I want to go - in my career, as a mother, and in my life more broadly. Here are a few 'lessons' I want to bring closer to my heart.

Stop in the pursuit of happiness and just be happy
Dwell in possibility
Use kind words
Inspire kind action
Love what you have
Be grateful every day
Don’t compare yourself to others, but be inspired by them
Accept criticism with grace, but ignore the naysayers
See opportunities in disappointments, problems and setbacks
Surround yourself with positive people; making meaningful relationships
Complain less, smile more.
(some of these ideas are from Leo Babauta at Zen Habits.
