Stallion habit 67 - Do a good turn daily

The other day I was walking down the street and saw an older lady trying to haul a couch out of a home with her son. You could see she was struggling and about to ruin her back.

I hurried over there and gave her a hand. I quickly grabbed one side of the couch, and we put it into the back of a pickup.

I was surprised by the burst of satisfaction by doing this one simple act.

What a different world we would live in if everyone did at least one good turn daily.

Thanks,

Stallion habit 66 - Help your brother

One of my brothers is a lawyer. As of October 2008, the economy has been the worst it's been in probably 100 years. The stock market has tanked to levels not seen since 2003.

I called my brother, not realizing that he had just lost his job.

Although my brother would never ask for help, sometimes you need to see the need and use whatever connections you have.

I have made a few phone calls, and am actively networking to try and get him a better paying "real" job.

Seeing someone in need and actually being successful in helping them can be one of the best feelings in the world.

Thanks,

Stallion habit 65 - Enjoy your children

Children are amazing. Have you ever watched a two year old laugh and play and tease?

How about watching them play sports or watch them in a school play?

I have seven children. The oldest as of 10/11/08 is 14, and the youngest is 2. They are all 2 years apart. I have 5 boys and 2 girls.

My boys are involved in baseball, basketball, football, scouts, piano, band and quite a few other things.

My girls are involved in volleyball and tennis. One is going to start to learn the piano real soon.

Time seems to fly by and soon they will be gone. So enjoy your children!

Thanks,

Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 64 - Get involved in your community

I am sure most communities are like the one I live in. I live in Ucon Idaho which is a smaller town. Every year the people here have a project in the spring and one in the fall to make this community better.

Today we are actually going to plant trees. My wife and I are in charge and usually round up a bunch of scouts or other volunteers to help us.

My wife gets involved with lamb raising and 4-H. I have been involved with Scouts for quite a while, and one of my sonshas his Eagle Scout already.

I guess the good thing about planting trees is that every time you drive by them, you can think about the service you gave that day to make your community better.

Thanks,

Stallion habit 63 - I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me

What do you do to get you mind off the daily grind?

Sometimes I like to just take off and go watch a movie.

I like the movies that get me emotionally involved.

If I like the movie, the phrase that pops through my head is, "I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me."

If you can find a movie with those qualities, I guarantee you will forget about the cares of the world.

Sluff occasionally whatever you are doing and watch a good movie.

Stallion habit 62- Cut the flow of trash

Have you ever had a thought pop into your mind that was inappropriate?

I am sure everyone has.

You can control though how many thoughts pop into your head by cutting the flow of trash into your mind.

What do you put into your mind that gives you less than optimal thinking?

As the saying goes, garbage in= garbage out.
