With all the walking and running around that trick-or-treating kids do, Halloween provides a wonderful opportunity for physically engaging entertainment for children who are often engaged in sedentary recreation like playing electronic games and watching television.

In Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw pondered: “What if Prince Charming had never showed up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, gotten a job, a health-care package, and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank?

Taking risks is not an easy choice. It can be both negative and positive. While the faint-hearted focus on the negative side, the strong-willed see the positive angles. What if you dare? If you do, you need to take charge and take control and manage that risk.
What if you get into a fight? Whatever conflict is happening in your life, continuously learn new attitudes that will make a positive difference to the way you manage this conflict.

Your changed attitudes can modify your responses. Conflicts can become your opportunities for personal maturity and growth.
