One Small Kindness

One Small Kindness

“Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts.”

Kindness is often called a ’miracle’.

When a complete stranger helps us, we often say: “It was like a miracle when he or she helped me!”

These individuals show the very essence of compassion, helping anyone in the community.

When we lend a hand to help our neighbour, we don’t make a song and dance about it because we want to support others.

Even sitting down and listening to a friend can literally change their life.

These may seem small acts of kindness but, to the other person, ‘it is a miracle’.

These ‘gestures’ reflect the importance of empathy and support, which inspires others to do the same.

One small kindness is often remembered for the rest of our lives.

“A positive attitude will lead to positive outcomes.”

When we focus on the ‘potential’, in any situation, we will look at our lives with optimism and hope.

We will become creative in cultivating a determined mindset and a happy personality.

Celebrating the small ‘wins’ during our journey in life will encourage us to maintain a balanced and happy attitude.

A positive attitude can ‘give us’ so many qualities, the very ones we need to have control over our own lives.

The mind shapes our perception and our reaction to the people we live with and the world we live in.

We can be sure that a positive way of looking at our lives will lead to an optimistic, joyful and strong life.

Your Greatest Asset

 Your Greatest Asset

“The biggest asset in the world is your mindset!”

As the mind controls every aspect of our bodies and lives, it is the most powerful “asset” we have.

The mind shapes our view of life and the world around us, and determines how we respond to the opportunities that open up to us every day.

It is up to us to individually cultivate an optimistic and positive mindset.

A strong mindset encourages us to embrace change, always looking for the positive in any situation.

By maintaining a resilient mind, we will find the motivation to pursue our dreams.

All of this also inspires others who see this ‘light’ inside of us.

Determination.

Optimism.

Encouragement.

Cherish a tough, sturdy and powerful mindset, your greatest asset.

Your Life Is That Beautiful View

 Your Life Is That Beautiful View

“The best view comes after the hardest climb.”

Sometimes everyday life can seem like going uphill.

Our busy lives can seem like a struggle because we are always busy, and it ‘seems’ like we never stop.

This can feel like climbing up a mountain, demanding perseverance and resilience on our part.

This builds up our strength, both mentally and physically, giving us a solid character.

When this happens, focus and embrace the positive.

We will see the best of our lives when we reach the top of these mountainous troubles.

Keeping our ‘eye’ towards the ‘horizon’ will keep our minds on that positive frame to help us walk up that hill or mountain.

Keep on going because when you reach the top, your life will be the beautiful view.

Working For A Purpose

 Working For A Purpose

“Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress.”

Working for something we feel passionately about, a “cause”, gives meaning to our lives.

It is in us humans to want to help each other and the other creatures we share our home with.

This ‘creates’ a positive and united world.

When we live to express the beauty of the Earth, we are focusing on friendship and that ‘connection’ that we crave for.

In doing this, we will never feel alone.

Everything we do, no matter how small, is a stepping-stone towards a more fulfilling journey in life.

By doing this, we are inspiring others and encouraging them towards a happier life.

Working for a purpose ‘ignites’ that passion that is in all of us to look after each other.

Trust The Light

Trust The Light

“Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.”

Every single one of us has that special ‘spark’ within us that lights up our smile, and this is with us ‘all of our lives’.

When our life becomes a journey of self-discovery, we nurture this special light, strengthening the ‘spark’ that is within all of us.

We live in a busy and, sometimes, negative world and do not always “see” this very beautiful aura which every one of us have.

This ‘vibe’ guides us in our lives, reminding us who we are and where we want to go in our lives.

When we are being challenged and everything seems overwhelming, we need to remember that this ‘intuition’ is always with us to help us get through these tough times.

Trust the Light.

Trust Yourself.

Love, Laughter And Loyalty

 Love, Laughter And Loyalty

“I choose to be happy! I will no longer allow the negative things in my life to spoil all the good things.”

This is such a good way of looking at things.

It is positive!

It is determined!

It is ‘inspiring’!

This mental attitude sets the tone for an optimistic journey in life.

This sort of thinking searches out and recognises the beauty of the little things and little moments we have in our lives.

Focusing on the good and embracing gratitude cultivates the kind of mindset that searches out for joy and happiness.

Choosing to be happy empowers us to take control of our lives, our minds and our thoughts.

Releasing the grip of negativity frees us to experience the blessings and the gifts which surround us all of the time.

Love, laughter and loyalty.

And We Feel Good Too

 And We Feel Good Too

“To make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care.”

You literally just need to be a friend.

One of the kindest things we can do for anybody is to sit down with him or her and listen.

This kind of compassion is one of the most warmhearted ways to show someone that we genuinely care for them.

This shows unity and a commitment to encouraging and uplifting others.

The other person will feel valued and they themselves will find the strength needed to ‘face’ life itself.

Never underestimate how much your kindness helps another person.

A gentle smile for someone we may never see again, a complete stranger standing at the bus stop, can make all the difference to their day.

And we feel good too.

Spark That Enthusiasm

 Spark That Enthusiasm

“Don’t just exist. LIVE.”

We live on a beautiful planet and life here is wonderful.

Every morning we wake up is a new day ready for endless opportunities and possibilities.

When we look forward to seeing ‘gifts’ every day, our lives become more exciting and meaningful.

These ‘gifts’ could be anything good, from seeing the stunning sunrise to the playful puppy to your mother’s smile.

When we experience these amazing things on Earth, we are “LIVING” and not just ‘existing’. 

We are all so busy in our lives that it can seem that we are just going through the motions every day of our lives.

But we miss out on so much if we don’t engage with the world around us.

Spark that enthusiasm and quite simply enjoy nature, the world you “LIVE” in — The Earth.

We Need These To Survive

 We Need These To Survive

“The six best doctors: sunshine, water, rest, air, exercise and diet.”

Sunshine has always been ‘the natural healer’.

We need the sun to live a healthy life.

Water is the ‘foundation’ for all bodily functions.

Again, we need water to live.

Air and oxygen are two things ‘unique’ to the Earth, and without them we would die.

With the proper rest, exercise and diet we can have a strong daily routine to build a strong fortress in our bodies and for our health.

These six are all natural elements which ‘create’ a harmonious lifestyle which ‘promotes’ a strong, positive and healthy life.

We want to focus on these, starting in the mind, and reminding ourselves how important these are for our very survival on earth.

Give Meaning To Your Life

 Give Meaning To Your Life

“Each day I choose to find something to appreciate wherever I roam.”

This is such a good mental attitude to develop and have.

The quote shows that it is a ‘choice’ to appreciate the things, wildlife and people which surround us in everyday life.

Every day that we are alive is a new opportunity to find something amazing and fantastic to appreciate.

And on this planet Earth there is so much to discover.

A stranger’s smile.

The smell of freshly brewed coffee.

The scent of the roses in the garden.

A giggling baby playing with a kitten.

All of these are ‘everyday’ occurrences which could so easily be taken for granted.

But appreciating them gives so much meaning to our lives.

Live in the moment.

Exceptional, Beautiful And Wonderful

 Exceptional, Beautiful And Wonderful

“Believe in yourself, you’ve got what it takes.”

Believing in yourself is the foundation to ‘walk’ on towards achieving your dreams.

You have unique qualities, distinctive skills and your own special personality.

Trust in yourself!

Trust in your own intuition!

Trust in your instincts!

“You” are very often your best guide!

Every setback is really an opportunity to learn and grow into that very exceptional, beautiful and wonderful person you want to be.

Having confidence in yourself and believing in your own qualities shows how genuine you are as a person.

Focus on what you know you can achieve and are capable of doing and celebrate every ‘win’, no matter how small that ‘win’ may be.

You have got what it takes.

Life Can Only Get Better

 Life Can Only Get Better

“When you focus on the good, the good gets better.”

When we choose to focus on the good that is around us, our minds start to ‘think that way’ and we begin to see the positive in our everyday lives.

This fills every part of our lives, from the spiritual to the mental to the emotional and even to the physical.

Embracing this strong viewpoint of life encourages us to see and open up to the new opportunities which are just waiting for us.

Noticing the good that is in this life starts to create that cycle of encouragement, motivation and determination which we all need in our lives.

When we focus on what uplifts us, we are taking those stepping-stones to a happier and more fulfilling life.

Life can only get better,

It's A Learning Experience

It’s A Learning Experience

“Sometimes pain is the price of progress.”

A mother will always say that the pain of childbirth is worth going through to hold her baby, boy or girl.

This is the progress of mankind, the human race.

“Pain” can be many different things and not always physical.

Every setback we have which gives us pain teaches us how to live.

We learn our strengths and our weaknesses.

Remember, every setback can be a  ‘setup’ as a comeback if we ‘choose’ it to be.

When we feel pain, of any kind, we are building up our resilience and preparing us to ‘win’.

We learn to understand the world we live in, shaping our character towards showing empathy.

We learn invaluable lessons which equip us with skills to help us on our journey in life.

Respect And Compassion

 Respect And Compassion

“Humility and kindness are the key foundations to build our life; let’s maintain them as long as we live.”

These are two qualities which keep us “grounded” in life.

Humility reminds us that we are all human and that we were all born on this Earth.

When we keep humility in our lives, we allow ourselves to learn from other people, and we learn to ‘value’ what they have to offer.

Kindness shows that we respect and have compassion for others, whether they are our loved ones, friends or strangers.

The two qualities, humility and kindness, compliment each other beautifully.

Even the smallest acts of kindness show that we have humility towards our fellow humans.

Having these two qualities “create” a world of respect and harmony.
