One Amazing Success

 One Amazing Success

“Every small achievement will soon be one amazing success”

It is with little steps that we learn to walk when we are babies.

Then, as we become stronger in walking, some of us move on to become athletes and win medals for running.

But it all starts with small steps as a baby.

Everything we do in life is the same.

A ballet dancer practices the basic steps  for years, until he or she is good enough to perform on the stage.

Both are great achievements.

You and I may never be athletes or ballet dancers, but we still achieve great things every day.

Celebrate every small achievement and this will motivate you and I to move on to bigger goals.

Stay focused.

Be determined.

Hard work will help us to accomplish each step with success.

In this way, we will be moving forwards and becoming stronger in our achievements.

Then one day, we will wake up and realize that our lives are ‘one amazing success’.

Happy And Healthy

 Happy And Healthy

“I have decided to be happy because it’s good for my health”

Choosing to be happy will improve our quality of life.

It is a proven fact that ‘laughter is the best medicine’.

This will have a significant impact on our mental and physical “well-being”.

When we make a decision to prioritize our happiness, we are focusing on helping ourselves mentally and physically.

This is not always easy because we are always so busy caring for those we love, and making sure everyone else is happy.

Just don’t forget that ‘you’ deserve to be happy and healthy too.

The rewards for focusing on our own happiness are worth spending 10 - 15 minutes every day in self-care.

Contentment, 

joy,

Cheerful,

Enjoyment.

These are all words that signify happiness and each one of them is ‘good’ for our overall health.

It is something that we can do individually to help and support our mental and physical health.

Gifts And Blessings

 Gifts And Blessings

“Happiness isn’t about what you want all the time. It’s about loving what you have and being grateful for it”

Many times, happiness is ‘living in the moment’.

When we appreciate what we have today, we rarely ‘want’ anything else.

When we are grateful for the people we have in our lives, we start to know what joy is.

It is important to focus on being happy with our lives “now” because then we will find the balance that we need in life.

Happiness comes from within our hearts and within our lives.

Being content with what we have in life will give us so much peace, and peace is so important for our mental health.

Everything and everyone we have in our lives are “blessings” and it is essential that we remember this every day of our lives.

Find joy in what you have today, and love and cherish who you have in your life.

Like life itself, both are “gifts”.

This Really Is Important

This Really Is Important

“Remember to take care of yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup”

Self-care is just as important as caring for ourselves physically.

We need to rest and refresh and ‘refill’ mentally, as well as physically.

This is not selfish but a very real necessity.

We cannot look after others if we are not looking after ourselves.

This is where balance is vital and needed.

When we ‘fill our own cup’ through self-care, we will have more energy and compassion, and we will be able to give more of ourselves to those we love and care for.

For our ‘cup’ to overflow with positivity and abundance, we need to set self-care as a priority every single day.

This is important for us to remember because by doing this, we are also respecting ourselves.

I Hold The Pen

“I trust the next chapter because I’m the author”

The power to shape our own lives is in our own hands.

And we can shape our lives into anything we want to.

Each new day presents us with new opportunities.

We need to believe in our own abilities and have confidence in ourselves.

Being the “author” of our own lives means being in full control of every aspect of our journey in life.

Every day we are alive, our ‘story’ is still being told.

Every morning is a new page for us to ‘write on’, so let’s make each new page a happy and positive ‘page’.

When we overcome challenges and problems, we have something optimistic to ‘write down’.

Every day we spend with our loved ones, making happy memories, we have something ‘good’ to put into our ‘book’.

We hold the ‘pen’ in our lives, even as we hold the ‘book’, so let’s enjoy our ‘stories’ and make new and happy memories.

Embrace every chapter in your life because you, and only you, are the author.

You Will 'Live Your Dreams'

You Will ‘Live Your Dreams’

“The biggest adventure you can take on is to live the life you dream”

How lovely this quote is.

It really encourages us to ‘live our dreams’.

This is our greatest journey in life and our greatest adventure.

We get so busy in our lives that we forget that we have dreams and even what those dreams are.

Every day, sit down and think about your ‘dream’, even if it is only in your mind’s eye, and you will soon be following and living your dream.

It makes life so much more enjoyable when we can ‘live the life we dream’.

This is one area where we can find peace and true happiness in our lives.

Nothing worth having is ever easy, but the fact that this is our dream will make life more enjoyable.

When we follow our dreams, we are rewarded with a life full of passion, purpose and joy.

By following the kind of life that we really want, we are discovering who we are and what we are capable of.

Believe in yourself and that you can and will ‘live your dreams’.

"Shine"

 “Shine”

“Every day is a day to shine. Shine on!”

Every day we wake up, we have the ability to “Shine” and to show the world that we are special with our own unique talents and abilities.

When we “Shine”, we are spreading a positive attitude which will inspire others to “Shine” also.

Every day we are alive is a new opportunity to radiate our inner light.

Let’s seize this and prove “who” we are.

Each kind word and every kind action “Shines” peace, unity and happiness in this world.

When we overcome challenges in life, in a positive way, we are showing others what they themselves are capable of doing.

“Shine” when you Smile.

“Shine” when you Speak.

“Shine” when you do things for Others.

But most of all, “Shine” by just being yourself.

Take A Lesson

 Take A Lesson

“Be like a tree. Stay grounded, keep growing, and know when to let go”

We can learn some very valuable lessons from Mother Nature and’trees’ are just as valuable ‘teaching aids’.

A tree will put its roots down and nothing can move it.

We need our values and beliefs to be just as grounded.

Then we’ll be able to’weather any storm’ and face any challenge.

Trees continue to grow and adapt to their surroundings.

We need to do the same.

To be continuously learning and adapting to life around us.

Just like a tree blossoms in the summer, so can we be happy and flourish in this life.

Like trees shed their dead leaves in the autumn, so do we need to let go of things that no longer ‘help’ us but which can, in fact, hinder us.

A tree will stand tall during all of the seasons.

So must we be rooted deeply in our lives and unmovable in our values and beliefs.

 Let’s Have A Successful Life

“A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can’t go anywhere until you change it”

This is very down to earth and ‘real’.

The only way we are going to overcome the obstacles that come our way every day, is with a strong and positive attitude.

Just like a car cannot move forwards when it has a flat tire, neither can we move forwards in our lives with a bad attitude.

Both need to be changed in order to move forwards.

The power to change our lives is in our own ‘hands’ and it is our choice.

To be positive and move forwards.

To be negative and not move at all.

Which “attitude” will give us joy and make us happy?

When we change our attitude into an optimistic one, we will overcome challenges and move on towards a successful life.

Let’s strive to overcome any bad attitudes with ones that will uplift, encourage and motivate not just ourselves but others too. Only then will we reach our full potential and be the best version of ourselves that we possibly can be.

“Be grateful for every second of every day that you get to spend with the people you love. Life is so very precious”

This encourages us to live in the moment.

To make happy memories today to look back on.

These precious moments make life truly meaningful and fulfilling.

We must never take for granted the time we spend with our loved ones because we know that life can be short.

Embrace every single moment with love and gratitude.

Life is a precious gift to be cherished and treasured, every single moment of every single day.

We do not know what the future holds and can only hope that our loved ones will be here to share life with us.

Whether a simple “I love you” or a grand gift, take every opportunity to show our loved ones that we cherish and love him, her and them.

It is this kind of love and appreciation that makes life worth living.

Let’s be grateful for the time we have with those we love and make the most of this precious gift of life today.

Gain That Control

 Gain That Control

“One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day”

This one small positive thought, at the beginning of each day, can have a real impact on our mood and outlook for that day.

And this is a good way to fight depression, because if our mind has a positive thought in it, there is no room for a negative one.

When we focus on the positive first thing in the morning, we are setting our whole day up to be optimistic.

This will also remind us of all of the “good” that is in our lives.

One ‘good’ thought when we first wake up or over breakfast, will strengthen our mental health and give us control of our minds and lives first thing in the morning.

With the Law of Attraction, when we ‘think’ that positive thought, we are ‘attracting’ more positive, happy and joyful ‘things’ and people into our lives.

This benefits us and those we share our lives with.

 A More Caring Society

“Make your heart the most beautiful thing about you”

What a beautiful quote to read.

When we prioritize kindness, compassion and love, we are spreading positivity and joy.

This does require effort on our part but it is worth it.

Self-reflection on a daily basis will show us what our heart is really like.

A heart that is full of love and goodness.

This also shows the outside world that we have a life that is full of meaning.

It is a choice but worth it because of the inner peace and happiness that we personally receive.

When we focus on developing a kind and compassionate heart, we will become the best version of ourselves.

This will have the ‘ripple’ effect, and will inspire and encourage others.

All of this will help to make the society we live in a more caring one.

“Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people”

Every one of us has the power to have a positive impact on this world.

It is a choice so let’s make it a positive one.

Through understanding and empathy we can show others that there are some good people in this world.

We can restore someone’s faith in mankind — if we want to!

This will also make a better future.

Let’s strive to be a source of hope and inspiration for young and old alike, and help to ‘create’ a more loving and kind environment.

Each and every one of us can make a difference through kind words and loving actions.

None of us know what the other has gone through, so let’s keep our own faith in mankind and encourage others to have that same faith.

Together we can have a strong and meaningful ‘impact’ on this world.
