Another Chance In Life

 Another Chance In Life

“Life doesn’t always give second chances — but you can always give yourself one.”

You and I deserve that second chance!

We can show the whole world that we have control of our own lives by giving ourselves that ‘second chance.’

Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing but never gave up, eventually going to university and becoming a renowned author and activist.

How difficult this must have been, especially as she was born in 1880 and went to her first ‘school’ in 1888.

There wasn’t the help then that we possibly take for granted today.

Helen did not give up but gave herself that second chance, and became the first deaf / blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

She set the bar high for us to follow to always give ourselves another chance in life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

“My only goal right now is to be genuinely happy.”

I would hope that this is everybody’s goal — “to be genuinely happy.”

We get so caught up in our very busy lives, that we sometimes forget the number one priority, to be happy!

To be happy is a longing that we all have, whoever we are and wherever we live.

Aristotle believed that happiness is connected to fulfilling our potential, giving us a purpose in life.

However, we must remember that happiness can mean different ‘ideals’ to different people, and we need to accept and respect this.

The basics of being happy are the same for everyone though.

A smile.

A laugh.

A hug.

These are ‘normal everyday things’ that do bring happiness into our lives.

Being happy promotes mental health.

Discover The Joys Of Life Today

Discover The Joys Of Life Today

“Growth means choosing happiness over history.”

This is a good reminder to leave the past behind and to enjoy living today.

Happiness and our own personal well-being are so closely linked, that we should always put happiness first in our lives.

Always ask the question:

“Will this decision make me happy?”

We are allowed to define our present experiences, mainly because ‘our lives are ours to enjoy.’

Making happiness a priority in our lives will help us to grow and to strengthen our hold on life itself.

Challenges will become opportunities and our lives will become richer by taking these opportunities up.

A positive mind will help to increase our quality of life.

This helps us to transcend past burdens and discover the joys of life today.

You May Surprise Yourself

You May Surprise Yourself

“Take risks. If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will be wiser.”

It is in our human nature to search out new territories, which means taking risks.

However, some of us like a quiet life with a routine that never changes.

But living this way can sometimes mean that we never have anything or anyone new in our life.

When you change the word ‘risk’ for the word ‘opportunity’, it doesn’t sound so scary.

As the quote says:

“If you win, you will be happy.”

“If you lose, you will be wiser,” and will have learnt something new.

It comes down to how we view life and what we ‘put’ into our minds.

Taking opportunities means that we grow and develop in our skills, whether we win or lose.

Give yourself a chance, you may surprise yourself.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

“The only person who can change your life is you.”

We are responsible for our own lives, and so only we can make our lives happier and positive.

We may not always have control over our circumstances, but we can control how we think about them and face them.

Having an optimistic viewpoint and hope will keep our strength up during difficult times.

With this kind of positive attitude, you’ll be surprised how things can change and how quickly they change.

Instead of allowing depression to take hold, get up and do something positive to keep the mind busy on good thoughts.

Yes, only you can change your life.

Think about what you want and go out and get it!

You will be happier.

“Wake up knowing that — whatever happens today, you can handle it.”

You have come this far in life, you will go further!

Every morning we wake up is a new opportunity to take control of our lives.

This starts with the mind.

When you wake up, smile and think one positive thought.

This will set up your mind to ‘tackle’ the challenges that will come during that day, and you will get through them.

“Resilience” is a quality that profoundly affects the outcome and experiences that we go through, and YOU have “Resilience”.

Waking up ‘knowing’ that you can deal with any difficulties for the day shows that you have belief in yourself.

Also, this shows that you are responsible for your own life, which gives you that stability every day.

Positive Mantras

 Positive Mantras

“Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere.”

Worrying is very bad for the mind!

Very little is achieved by sitting down and doing nothing but worrying.

Not only does this waste time but it has a negative effect on us.

Worrying is a hindrance to our personal progress in life because it blocks the mind, and can lead to depression, something we want to avoid.

We need to address the ‘root of the problem’ and trust ourselves to sort it out.

Having belief in ourselves will free our minds from worry so that we can fill our minds with positive ‘mantras’.

This will give us the strength that is needed to ‘work the problem out’, if there is a problem, because so many times we worry about things that never happen.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
