Key Concepts: Proofread, Newspapers, Laughter, Medicine, Humor, Health

As the Reader's Digest says (in one of their regular columns):  "Laughter is Good Medicine." Research shows that laughing can extend your life and boost your health.
 
So enjoy some laughs on the newspapers who published these headlines without realizing the implications. Be sure to read the comments after the headline. (I received this in an email and decided to share it.)

Happy New Year everyone!New Year's is a time for reassessing your life. Did you accomplish what you wanted to in 2011? If yes, how will you reward yourself? If not, what will you do to make it happen in 2012?

 

Every choice you make adds or detracts to the possibility of bringing your goal to fruition. Therefore, choose wisely. Often we think the small choices we make do not matter. But the truth is:  Every choice matters!

 

In the past, the expression was: "I think, therefore I am." The NEW motto: "I choose, therefore I am."

 

Choose wisely in 2012 and reap an abundance!

How to Manifest Your Destiny

You can have what you want in life!
Can you imagine being able to manifest everything you want in life? You can make problems go away by themselves and bring every joy and reward your heart desires into your life. What most of us are taught to believe about reality conflicts with this idea. And yet everyone has this ability within themselves. The capacity to manifest is more than a power within you. It is the power of life itself. And in this program you will be taught how to overcome your conditioning and grant yourself the power to know that manifesting your desires is possible. You can have everything you want in life once you learn the secrets to manifesting your destiny.
