Be Happy

 Be Happy

“Stay close to anything that makes you glad. You are alive”.

Be with like-minded people and you will all then lift each other up.

When we have that all important “me-time”, do what you enjoy doing, like doing, and what you know will build you up and Strengthen you — both mentally and physically.

Being alive on this beautiful planet Earth is divine. And you need to be alive to appreciate it.

So, whatever makes you Smile => do it!

Whoever makes you Glad to be Alive => stay with that person.

Be with Positive people and you will be Positive yourself.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Do Your Best

 Do Your Best

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land amongst the stars”.

When you do your best, you always ‘reach for the moon’.

Sometimes, when we really want something, we don’t get it and have to make do with ‘the next best thing’ or “the stars”.

I was always ‘taught’ that when you have done your best, you will receive the best => whatever that means to you personally.

Again, how we think affects how and what we will receive.

Think for the Best.

Be Positive that you will receive the Best.

And then => you will DO your Best.

This also means reaching for something ‘within’ your reach.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

What We Think

 What We Think

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome”.

What we think will affect what we do, which will affect, in turn, whether we are successful or whether we fail.

If we “think” we are going to fail from the beginning, there will be no point even trying.

If we “think”, from the very beginning, that we CAN do something and WILL succeed, there is no time like the present to start.

Our “attitude” affects everything we do.

Attitude means: “a settled way of thinking or feeling about something”.

As it’s a ‘settled way of thinking’, settle your mind NOW that you CAN do something and WILL succeed => every time!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Hold Your Head High

 Hold Your Head High

“Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye”.

I really like these words!

There are too many people who want to push us down, trying to discourage us at every turn, and it is usually because they are jealous of us.

Never let them stop you!

Never bend your head to them!

Be Proud of who you are and of what you have personally achieved.

Have Confidence and Faith in yourself and your own abilities.

Look at what you Can personally do and Smile, because we all have talents that no one else will have.

And ‘look the world straight in the eye’ and say: “This is who I am, accept me!”

You’ll be surprised how many people will Respect you.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Keep Moving On Towards Your Dreams

 Keep Moving On Towards Your Dreams

“All dreams are within reach. All you have to do is keep moving towards them”.

How many of us can say that we have achieved our dreams?

When we are children, we have dreams of being a fireman, a police woman, a dancer or a ballerina — in fact — the list of dreams never ends!

The beauty of living in this Century, (yes, I know I’ve said this before), is that most ‘dreams’ CAN come true.

Whether we want to be a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, or a lawyer (even), we can still study for it, pass our exams and be that ‘person’ we have dreamed of being, no matter our age, finances or circumstances.

The fact is that we need to keep moving towards our dreams and to keep wanting them.

Remember, it all starts with an idea or a thought.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You are Tough

You Are Tough !

“Tough times never last, but tough people do”.

It’s been a tough year for all of us.

The Cost of Living is ‘hitting’ everybody and many of us cannot stretch our money

any further.

Some of us have had many physical problems to contend with, and we’re still

‘facing them’.

Many have had ‘a hard fight’ to achieve their goals in life,

but have passed those exams and earnt that degree, for that better job

which may give them a better life.

Whatever ‘trials’ we have been through personally, we are still here.

We should be Proud that we have made it to the end of the year,

ready (hopefully) for the new year.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You're Going In The Right Direction

 “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”.

To have Confidence in ourselves is the “Word”.

What does Confidence mean? Confidence means => “the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something”.

The Someone being Ourselves!

And notice: “Live the life you have imagined”.

Yes, we are all incredibly busy in our lives that we can and do forget who we want to be as individuals, and how we personally want to live.

No matter ‘who’ we are or our present circumstances in life, we Can still live the life we Want to and we Can ‘be’ who we want to be.

It just takes that all Important Confidence and Faith in ourselves and our own abilities.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Have Made The Right Choice

 We Have Made The Right Choice

“Always work hard and have fun in what you do because I think that’s when you’re more successful. You have to choose to do it”.

When we do something we really enjoy — we do it so much better.

It is a choice however.

When we are working or at school, try to find the “fun” in it.

Of course, you may be lucky enough to enjoy your job or school, in which case, you enjoy your day anyway.

Smile and show that you are enjoying life.

Prove that you made the right choice.

By working hard and finding joy in our day’s activities, life will become much happier for us personally.

LIVE AND LIFE LOVE!

Let's Do Our Bit !

 Let’s Do Our Bit !

“We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone”.

When every one of us does our little bit for society, the world becomes a nicer place to live in.

It is true — we cannot possibly help everybody — there are just too many people on this Earth.

However, each one of us can help somebody.

If we have the ‘means’ to do something to help another person, we should.

A teacher will teach a classroom of pupils, no matter their colour, background or ‘abilities’.

A doctor will treat a patient, again, no matter ‘who’ that person is.

Even if it is ‘just’ helping within our own family, we are using our talents and abilities to help someone.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Are All Champions

 We Are All Champions

“Champions keep playing until they get it right”

When you passed your exams in school, how did you feel?

Like a Champion!

When you got your first job, how did you feel?

Like a Champion!

When you passed your driving test, how did you feel?

Like a Champion!

We are all Champions in our own way, when we accomplish something that is difficult to us personally.

We didn’t give up but pushed through that ‘pain barrier’, and reaped the rewards of all our hard work.

It starts with having Faith in Ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Get Up And Do It !

 Get Up And Do It!

“Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them”.

When we really want something, we do everything we can to receive it.

A student will study for years to become the doctor who saves lives. He or she studies, reads, takes exams, finds out what needs to be studied and which university to go to — the list is endless.

The point is, he or she really “works” to become that doctor who saves lives.

The same applies to someone who wants to become a teacher.

Both of these are worthy careers that start from an early age. Thus, we need to Encourage our children by showing them how we “get up and make those opportunities ourselves”.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

A Feeling Or Opinion

 A Feeling Or Opinion

“Attitude is the ‘little’ thing that makes a big difference”.

What does “Attitude” mean => “a settled way of thinking or feeling about something”.

We’ve often heard the expression: “Give it some attitude!” — which does mean to actually have a ‘feeling’ or an ‘opinion’ about something. And once you have that — never let it go and show it.

We all want Peace.

It is our opinion that Unity brings Peace and we know that this is the right way of living.

So let’s all give this some “Attitude” and never be swayed into any other direction.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Share The Gift

 Share The Gift

“It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent”.

We must never let anyone silence us or try to silence us.

All through our lives, we are trying to develop our voice, almost ‘fighting’ to be heard above the many others who are trying to do the same.

We need to be our Unique selves in order to be seen and heard. After all, each one of us has a ‘gift’ to share with this world, we just need the Patience to find it, develop it and share it.

Just like our voice.

When we hear the Dawn Chorus, we hear many birds singing, and yet, how beautiful the sound is to our ears.

It is no different for us!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Just Don't Realise

 We Just Don’t Realise

“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think”

Yes You Are!!!

We don’t give ourselves credit in case it seems selfish, but we must learn to give credit where it’s due => to ourselves.

When we are going through a difficult time, (and I think most of us have ‘something’ in our lives)=>

 We don’t realise how Strong we are.

We don’t realise how Brave we are.

We don’t realise how clever we are.

But when we look back “at It”, we think: “how did I get through that?”

With Belief in Ourselves that “We CAN Do It!” — we will get through the most difficult situation, and come out the other end more Stronger, more Braver and more Clever.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Encourage The Children

 Encourage The Children

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.

We are lucky to be able to go to school and receive a decent education.Some of us never actually stop studying, learning all through our lives.

Ignorance can breed distrust and hatred, whereas knowledge or education can breed trust and peace.

We have learnt so much since the Two World Wars, that we will do our best to make sure that there is never a Third.

And hasn’t medicine advanced so quickly over the last one hundred years, so much so that with training, a doctor can do open heart surgery and save a life.

This is why education is so Important and why we should Encourage our children to do as much schooling as possible.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Little And Often

 Little And Often

“It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change”.

“Little and often” — such good words which can apply to anything — eating, walking, achieving something you would love.

A dancer starts with the basic steps, practicing until they ‘feel’ normal and then they move on to more difficult steps.

When we start to read, we learn the alphabet first, and then we go on to learn to actually read.

When you want to change your life for the better, sit down, write down, and take those small steps, which will eventually become normal, and then you can really move on in life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Prepare Today

 Prepare Today

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today”.

When we really want something, we think about it all of the time and do our best in achieving it.

A Dream, a Hope, A Career.

A student at college or university, will study many hours, to achieve that qualification they want in order to follow their chosen career.

A mother carries her baby in her womb for nine months, doing her best to keep healthy, eat healthy, and prepare for the birth. Holding her new-born in her arms makes all of that preparation worthwhile.

Whatever you want tomorrow, you can do your best to prepare for it today.

It’s Worth It!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Can Work It Out

 We Can Work It Out

“If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it”.

It all starts with a thought.

It’s carrying out that thought which can seem difficult.

Leonardo da Vinci drew pictures of flying machines in c.1490. Hundreds of years later, we fly in aeroplanes every day. It was a thought that ‘came true’ — eventually.

Whilst you and I may never invent anything, we do have thoughts and ideas which we want to “see” come true in our own lives.

And they will ‘if’ we Believe in our own Strengths and have the Confidence to ‘work out the thought’.

We Can Work It Out (as the song goes).

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
