Confidence With Humility

 “Confidence With Humility

“I love the character's combination of confidence and humbleness. Someone who is strong in their self-worth, but compassionate enough to not look down on others.”

When we meet someone who is both confident and humble, we become inspired by them.

This is a balance that so many strive for but few seem to achieve it.

When a person has these two ‘qualities’, they encourage and uplift others.

We live in a world which can be competitive, so when we are confident and humble we are emphasizing the very real fact that ‘unity’ and ‘inspiring’ others is a much better way to live.

This motivates others to know their own strengths and encourages him or her as to what they are capable of.

Encourage this culture of mutual respect and kindness.

Embrace Each New Day

Embrace Each New Day

“It’s never too late to start over. If you weren’t happy yesterday, try something different today. Don’t stay stuck, do better.”

As long as we are alive today, it’s never too late to change our lives for the better.

These changes need only be small changes but over time they add up to one big change.

And these changes are noticed.

If you are not happy about something in your life, can you change it?

Every small step, over time, moves us closer to our dreams.

When we take action, positive action, we can break the monotony of everyday life and bring happiness back into our lives.

Change often thrives in simplicity but also consistency.

Focus on what you ‘can’ do and embrace each day as a new opportunity.

Time And Support

 Time And Support

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

Happiness does not rely on material wealth.

It is about appreciating what we do have and being content with it.

We must remember that there are always others who are ‘less well off’ than us.

A simple pleasure like a cup of coffee after a busy morning, or seeing your mother smile and hug you, these ‘things’ are priceless!

Whilst money does give up a certain amount of security, it is very often a listening ear which we need and cherish.

When we ‘think’ this way, we are cultivating a community of love and support.

This proves that ‘true wealth’ comes from generosity and giving your time and support.

Self-Care Is Balance

Self-Care Is Balance

“Take time every day to do what makes your soul happy.”

Doing something every day that ‘you’ want to do and that makes ‘you’ happy, will strengthen your mind and your hold on life.

Focusing on your own happiness and joy is not selfish but shows that you “care” about yourself and your life.

Embracing the things and people who make you feel good about yourself  and your life is not being selfish but it is being sensible.

Just like we care for our physical bodies, it is just as important to look after our emotional and mental needs.

If we can’t put aside 15 minutes every day for ourselves, we are too busy and need to change something in our lives.

Self-Care is Balance.

See And Accept

 See And Accept

“A secret to happiness is letting every situation be what it is, instead of what you think it should be.”

Embracing reality is the only way to keep our balance in life.

There is beauty in the here and now, if only we would ‘live’ in the present.

Life is full of surprises and challenges, and each one we can learn from and be a stepping-stone towards a more peaceful and happier future.

Allowing ourselves to see and accept the situation ‘for what it is’, can become a journey of self-discovery.

And we can very often surprise ourselves.

Happiness comes with accepting and ‘seeing’ life for what it really is.

Again, this starts in the mind.

An optimistic mindset will enable us to accept ‘today’ for what it really is.

Prove Your Worth

 ‘Prove Your Worth’

“Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear!”

When we accept our past, without any regrets, we start to grow personally.

Every experience we have gone through has ‘made’ us who we are today.

Let’s accept this and enjoy the freedom that comes with acceptance.

Every moment in our lives is an opportunity to show others the belief we have in ourselves.

Cultivating and creating a positive mindset will give us the confidence to ‘face the future’.

Acting with confidence will create an environment where positivity, growth and love will flourish. Whilst the unknown can be ‘daunting’, it is actually full of opportunities for us to ‘prove our worth’.

You can create the life you want.

Life Is Balance

 Life Is Balance

“Life is too ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.”

Life is balanced.

Happy and sad.

Noise and silence.

Absence and presence.

A lot of the time it depends on how we ‘look’ at life.

It is true that we often need the negative to know the positive so that we can balance out our lives.

Isn’t it always the way that when a loved one is absent, we miss them and wish he or she was still present in our lives.

Every tear we shed in sadness is very often replaced with a happy giggle and laugh.

We learn to treasure these moments of happiness and cheerfulness.

Even as we appreciate a quiet sit down after a busy and noisy day.

Take That Stepping-Stone

 Take That Stepping-Stone

“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.”

Every single trial and challenge is a stepping-stone towards a stronger life.

It just depends on how we ‘see’ them.

Giving birth is one of the greatest challenges in life and yet the ‘reward’ for going through it is a beautiful and healthy baby.

Very few ‘challenges’ or ‘trials’ will be as painful or difficult as giving birth, but they are real nevertheless.

So you need to say: “I will get through this!” and be proud of yourself when you do.

We can learn so much when we go through these things which will help us in our future lives.

You and I are capable of creating for ourselves a fantastic life but only if we never give up and are proud of ourselves.

Enjoy Your Own Plate

 Enjoy Your Own Plate

“Don’t let your food get cold watching someone else’s plate.”

Our lives and our time is far too precious to waste on comparing ourselves to others.

Why are we looking at someone else’s life, wishing and wanting, when we have a life of our own?

Our own lives!

Every single one of us has our own journey in life, with all of its opportunities, challenges and experiences.

|Why are we looking at the ‘food’ on someone else’s plate when our own plate is so full itself?

Find joy in your one ‘plate’.

And like we always try to eat food we enjoy, do and have things in your own life that you want and enjoy.

The potential we personally have is endless if we would only ‘tap’ into it.

If we constantly look at others' lives, we will miss out on so much in our lives.

 Creativity And Innovation

“Mistakes are proof that you’re trying.”

‘Mistakes’ are stepping-stones in our lives so that we can become the best version of ourselves.

Each ‘error’ reminds us that we are alive and taking part in life itself.

Mistakes are like feedback, we ‘see’, we ‘listen’ and ‘learn’ from each one.

It is how we respond to those mistakes that will help us to either go forwards into our futures or just not move.

As in every subject we study, we have to make mistakes to learn to get things right.

This also ‘ripens’ our creativity and innovation.

Keep that positive mindset and you will learn to gain experience from each mistake.

Let your mistakes remind you that you are on a journey and every attempt shows your dedication to life itself.

“Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.”

This can be hard to remember when we are going through a difficult time.

Just remember that any present circumstance does not define the future — especially when we do not let it.

Every day we are blessed with is another opportunity to ‘explore’ life.

Embrace the thought that each day is a chapter in your life.

Just make sure that YOU write the ‘words’.

Every obstacle we overcome gives us the strength to make sure that our journey in life is the best journey we can possibly have.

When you have control of your life, you can trust that “the best is yet to come.”

Speak With Compassion

Speak With Compassion

“The tongue has no bones, but it is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”

What we say can have an incredible effect on others.

‘Speaking’ is one of the very first things we learn to do as babies, which proves how important communication is.

When we open our mouths to speak, we have an opportunity to encourage, inspire and motivate others with what we say.

What we say is a choice, like so many other things in our lives.

We would never think of physically hurting someone we love, so let’s make sure we don’t emotionally hurt them by what we say.

This means that we need to ‘think before we speak’.

It’s important to speak with compassion and care for a peaceful life.

Have A Happy Journey

 Have A Happy Journey

“Be strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve.”

Letting go can be very difficult to do but it is essential if we want to move forwards  in our lives.

Holding on to something that is no longer of any use to us will only weigh us down and stop us from going anywhere.

This does not help anyone.

We need to literally let go, if only in the mind, and strengthen our lives whilst waiting for another blessing or what we deserve.

Another reason to let go is so that we will “see” the happy times and actually be a part of them.

Releasing the past also gives us our power back so that we will be determined to hold onto and to have a pleasant journey through life.

Enjoy the journey.

"Tend" To Your Mind

 “Tend” To Your Mind

“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.”

Every one of us has the possibility to do whatever we want to — if we set our minds on it and believe that “we can do it!”

It all comes down to what we “think” about.

Just like a garden needs careful tending so that beautiful flowers grow instead of weeds, so does the mind need careful ‘work’ on it so that we will have a happy and fulfilling life.

Like planting flower seeds in a garden, we need to think about good, positive and happy thoughts to “see” our dreams.

“Tender” your thoughts with care and love and watch your life change.

Just like the garden will flourish and look beautiful, so will your life.

Take That Control Back

 Take That Control Back

“You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.”

Life itself is a beautiful journey.

We just can’t always see its beauty because, sometimes, we are looking at the past and the sad memories that we’ve gone through.

If we can just ‘learn’ from these mistakes and “look” forwards to a more determined and happier future, we will find contentment and peace in our lives.

We deserve to have a happier tomorrow which we can only achieve when we start writing the next chapter in our lives.

Let’s ‘write’ a happier and more positive chapter, and really take control of our own lives.

Our lives can be exciting and “fun”, if only we would look ahead.

Keep Hope Alive

 Keep Hope Alive

“Always have eyes that see the best, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses hope.”

This is the best way to look at the people and the world around you.

It is such a positive way of looking at life and ‘dealing’ with life.

Acknowledging and celebrating other peoples ‘wins’ inspires motivation for them and for you.

Focus on being kind which is such a good way to forgive and forget.

This does take courage but worth doing because of the peace it promotes.

When we forgive others, we reclaim our power and open our hearts to new possibilities.

This gives us deeper contentment which we need to keep our minds strong and healthy.

Always keep hope alive in your heart.
