Use It Wisely

 Use It Wisely

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time”

King Henry VIII said: “Of all the losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed”.

How true is this!

We cannot make time stand still and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Every ‘possession’ can be replaced, from food to clothes to money.

But time can never be ‘replaced’.

How many times have we looked back on something and thought: “I wish I’d done that when I had the time”?

This makes Time the most Valuable part of our Lives.

We need to really Appreciate and Use our Time in a Positive way now, because this will affect our Future.

Yes, Time is more Valuable than money as It can never be replaced with more Time.

This Encourages us to really use our Time Wisely, never wasting it for anyone or anything.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Be True To Yourself

 Be True To Yourself

“Be yourself always. Don’t change so people like you. The right people will love the real you”

Be Happy and Content with who you are and Be You!

Never change to be someone else to ‘please’ other people.

You won’t be happy and they won’t respect you.

Respect Yourself and show Who you really are, and others will respect you.

Be True To Yourself!

It is true that ‘like attracts like’.

A Positive person will always ‘attract’ Positive friends.

We will always be much Happier in our lives when we are True to ourselves.

This will also build Confidence, Belief and Trust within our own personalities.

Why should we change just to please other people? 

True friends will Accept and Love us for who we are.

He or she may even Admire you because you refuse to ‘lie to yourself’.

Be Yourself and you will always be “The Best”.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Keep That Door Open

 Keep That Door Open

“A wise person knows there is something to be learned from everyone”

This is a quote to remember as we go about our busy day.

Wherever ‘situation’ we find ourselves in, we can always Learn something from it.

Whoever we meet during our lives, when people come and go, we can always Learn something from someone.

Wisdom means never to close that ‘door’ thinking that we know everything.

Every single day we are Learning, we just may not always ‘realise’ it.

Like a Gratitude journal, if we wrote down one thing that we have learnt every single day, our journal would soon be full.

And then we could re-read these new ‘thoughts’ and keep them ever present in our minds,

Just make sure that what you Learn has a Positive effect on our minds.

Because whatever we are doing, our Mental Health Must Come First.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

All Day, Every Day

 All Day, Every Day

“Stay positive! The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude”

It’s a proven fact that what we think about affects our actions and our emotions.

Think Positive thoughts and your attitude will be a Happier one.

Think negative thoughts and you will have a bad day.

The meaning of the word “Attitude” is: a feeling or position with regard to a person or thing; a tendency or orientation, especially of the mind.

Do you have a ‘tendency’ to be Happy or sad, Positive or negative?

We want to ‘lean’ towards being Happy, Positive and Kind in our Lives, all day, every day.

This requires ‘work’ on our part.

Making that time, every single day, to sit quietly and fill our minds with Positive sayings.

Also, be with like-minded people, others who also want to be Strong and Positive in their minds and during their day.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Be Content With The 'World' You Live In

 Be Content With The ‘World’ You Live In

“You are rich when you are content and happy with what you have”

What does being ‘rich’ mean to you?

For some, it is having material items,expensive ones and lots of them.

For others, it means that a person is ‘rich’ in their love and kindness, and in having faith in the world around them.

Another question is which kind of ‘richness’ makes your life a happier and more peaceful one?

People who are constantly looking for the next best thing are rarely content and are never satisfied with what they actually do have.

Whereas for those who are happy with what they physically have, these people are nearly always content with the world around them.

Which one are you and I?

Which ‘type’ of life will have a Positive influence on our lives?

When we are content with the richness of our own lives, we are happy within ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

This Is Priceless For Our Mental Health

 This Is Priceless For Our Mental Health

“My live isn’t perfect but I am thankful for what I have”

When we are Alive we are Perfect.

However, sometimes, we have to ‘accept’ what Life we do have and be Thankful for It.

Being Grateful for what we do have helps us live through that life.

Counting our blessings will Strengthen our Minds towards Life Itself, and keeping “It”.

Out comes the Gratitude journal and our favourite pen, and we make the time to write in this journal.

This is such a good idea because writing down puts these words of Gratitude into our minds, and then we can re-read the sentences, imprinting these Strong and Positive words — in our Minds.

All of this is priceless for our Mental Health.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You'll See "Gold"

 You’ll See “Gold”

“Invest your energy into something that is going to contribute to your growth”

We are very careful how and where we invest our money, how much more Important is our Energy, both physically and mentally.

We want to ‘spend’ our Energy on projects, books, films, and (in fact) anything that will build us up Mentally, and which will have a Positive effect on us.

We have to ask ourselves such questions as: will this Help me grow in the right direction?

Will this ‘add’ to my Mental abilities?

Will this give me the Positive ‘vibes’ that I need in my life?

How will this new job contribute to the Positiveness I want in my life?

How will this ‘new friend’ affect my life?

Whatever we are doing, let’s try to look ahead and “See” how ‘It’ will affect us, again, both physically and mentally.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It's Up To Us

 It’s Up To Us

“What we see in our world is a mirror of what we have in our minds”

The Beauty of our Minds is that we can “Imagine” and see with our mind’s eye.

So, what do you and I Want to see in our “Worlds”?

What we ‘dream’ and ‘think about’ really can “come true” because we could be unconsciously working it through in our lives.

The emphasis is on us to imagine, dream and think about ‘a good world’.

Or even a ‘Good Life’.

Also, constantly thinking about ‘a good life’ will keep Positive thoughts firmly in our minds, not allowing room for any negativity.

Looking at pictures of this Beautiful Earth, listening and watching the many documentaries about It, and just sitting quietly and listening to the many sounds of this Unique Planet, Strengthens our Minds towards this Life — it’s up to us to make it a Good Life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Trust Yourself

 Trust Yourself

“Trust yourself. You’ve survived a lot and you will survive whatever is coming”

Look in the mirror, who do you see?

You see me!

When you look in that mirror, you should be very Proud of yourself!

Having got through the difficult times in your life, you have built yourself up and become Strong every step of the way.

You can now look to the Future and Smile because you can see Your Future now.

And you can Trust Yourself, having Confidence in Your Abilities to get through whatever may or may not be coming in the future.

We all know the word “Trust” but do we actually know what it means?

“Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something”.

Believe in Yourself.

Rely upon You.

Trust that you have the Ability to get on in Life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

What Do You Enjoy?

 What Do You Enjoy?

“Good things happen when you finally let the negative things go”

We need to make room for the Positive by getting rid of the negative.

Sometimes, it is good to ‘let it all out’, and it’s like getting rid of the poison in the mind.

Giving ourselves that all Important “Self-Care” time will allow our minds to Heal.

And like we take vitamins to build our physical bodies up, once all the negative is out of our minds, we can build our Mental Health up with Positive thoughts.

When we do this, we are more in a ‘position’ Mentally to accept the Good and Positive changes that will happen in our lives.

The ‘trick’ is that, once we are there Mentally, not to allow our minds to wander back into the negative.

The question is: do you Enjoy being Happy or miserable?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

One Step At A Time

 One Step At A Time

“Focus on the step in front of you and not the whole staircase”

Sometimes, a project looks impossible.

We look ahead, wanting something so much, and think: “How on Earth am I going to do that?”

When we first started to walk as a baby, we started with one step in front of the other, slowly, until we feel more stable and quicken our pace, until we are running in the garden, with mum and dad watching on and ever so Proud.

We don’t really change that much as adults.

When we start a new job, there seems to be too much to learn, but after a while, we wonder what we were worried about.

This quote can also apply to us physically.

For a person who is disabled in their legs, a staircase can seem like a real ‘no, no’.

However, we can start on those stairs, literally one step at a time, until, before we know it, we’re at the top of the stairs.

Whether mental or physical, when we achieve a big ‘thing’ in our lives, we should be Proud of ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It Is Vital!

 It Is Vital!

“Your mind is a powerful thing. The more you fill it with Positive thoughts, the more your life will change”

Our brain has been likened to a muscle, and like every muscle in our body, the more we use it — the Stronger our brains will become.

A footballer trains for several hours every day, and the muscles in his or her legs become extremely Strong and Stable, to see him or her through the football match.

What we ‘put’ into our minds is no different.

We can Meditate on Positive thoughts, writing them down and repeating them, almost like rote, so that our Minds become Strong towards Life Itself.

Or — we can dwell on negative things and ‘allow’ our minds to become weak, losing our grip on life.

Which do YOU want?

It is vital that we make time, every single day, to look after our Minds, to “Care” for our Mental Health.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Remember And Appreciate

 Remember And Appreciate

“Having a place to go — is a home. Having someone to love — is a family. Having both — is a blessing”

When we think of those who are living in a war torn country — this is so true!

For those of us who live in relative Peace — do we Appreciate this?

It is a Good Reminder!

When we think of the homeless, we learn to Appreciate what we have. 

Instead of sitting outside on a cold pavement all alone, hungry, most of us can go home, sit in the warm, and eat a nice meal with the people we love.

It is indeed a Blessing to have both a home and a family, to live with people we love and who love us.

And each and every day we need to Remember these Blessings and Appreciate them.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It Will Be Worth Getting Through

 It Will Be Worth Getting Through

“Soon, when all is well, you’re going to look back on this period of your life and be so glad that you never gave up”

“I’m ever so glad I saw it through and am much Happier today”.

I believe every one of us has said this at some time in our lives.

We look back on a difficult time and, seeing how far we have come, we feel Proud of ourselves.

The problem is that when we are going through a difficult time to actually Remember that we will ‘get through it’ and be much Stronger for it.

We will (and should) be Proud of ourselves.

Never Give Up! 

Because we never know what or who is just around the corner, ready to support us and give us Hope.

The thing to Remember is that we need to have Hope whilst going through or living in a difficult situation.

It will be worth getting through.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Peace Is Powerful!

 Peace Is Powerful!

“Remain calm in every situation because peace equals power”

Staying Calm in any situation is Good for our Mental health, as well as for our Physical health.

And remaining Calm in a group of people helps others to remain Calm also.

How?

Because the human race copies each other and we are members of the human race and we ‘like’ to copy one another, especially someone who is Calm and in Control.

And staying Calm means that we have or are in Control — of ourselves and the situation we might find ourselves in.

As the quote says: “Peace equals Power”.

A person who is in Control and has Peace within themselves can have a Powerful Influence on others.

Peace is something that we all Desire — both in our own lives and also for the world we live in.

As Peace builds up, “It” is definitely more Powerful.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Confidence Is A Certainty

 Confidence Is A Certainty

“You can’t live that negative way. Make way for the Positive Day!”

Positivity builds up and ‘secures’.

Negativity destroys, and once destroyed, there is nothing left — you cannot live this way!

The word “Positive” means: Constructive, Optimistic, Confident.

When we Construct a building, it stays a building for many years.

When we are Optimistic, we are looking forward to the Future.

Confidence is a Certainty.

We CAN Live This Way!

The quote says to ‘make way’ which implies that we have to do something ourselves, either mentally or physically or both.

And like we have to move something so that we can move forwards physically, we need to move that negativity to make sure that we have a Positive day.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
