Be Willing

Be Willing

“It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.”

As humans, we are riddled with self-doubt and this hinders our ability to reach our full potential.

We very often think about who others think we should be and not who ‘we want to be’ or even ‘who we really are’.

This just holds us back, especially in our minds.

Believing in ourselves and in our own abilities will propel us forwards and away from such doubts.

There is power in believing in ourselves and it shows that we have control over our lives.

Creating a positive mindset will give us an optimistic attitude which will help us to accept ‘who we are’.

Being willing to learn and to adapt will encourage us to be the best version of ourselves we possibly can be.

We Need To Learn To Trust

We Need To Learn To Trust

“FEAR has two meanings — Forget everything and run OR Face everything and rise. The choice is yours.”

We would have so much more self-respect if we faced our fears and overcame them.

It is a very real choice, to face ‘fear’ full on or to run away from it.

The only way we can become stronger, both mentally and emotionally, is by facing our fears ‘head on’.

When we do this, we often realise that there was nothing to be afraid of in the first place.

‘Examining fear’ can teach us skills and show us, as individuals, how strong we have become and what we are capable of. 

Understanding this fear is crucial for our personal development.

We need to remember that there are professionals who are more than willing to help us overcome our fears.

We need to learn to trust these kind people.

Can We Do The Same?

Can We Do The Same?

“There are only four words that mean so much more than ‘I love you’, and those words are ‘I’m here for you’.”

How many of us need to hear these words: “I’m here for you” ?

They mean more than any gift because for someone to be there for us is a ‘gift’ in itself.

When a loved one or even a friend says these words, it shows a real depth of emotional support, which is something that every one of us needs.

For a person to make the time, to sit down and quietly listen, without judging, and be willing to help, shows a real understanding and a ‘wanting’ to help someone we care about.

This reflects a commitment, a willingness, to be available when needed.

When you and I receive this kind of help and kindness, we completely de-stress because we know we are not alone.

Can we do the same for those we love?

The Possibilities Are Endless

 The Possibilities Are Endless

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”

Through determination and hard work and sheer passion, we will “see” and “live” our dreams.

Envision your dream in your mind’s eye and you’ll be surprised how quickly that dream becomes a reality.

By being optimistic and resilient, you will have your dreams come true.

It’s important to keep ‘our feet on the ground’ and to stay as balanced as we can, but none of this stops us from dreaming big dreams.

Our dreams must be accompanied by action, persistence and adaptability.

“Fostering a culture of dreaming big can lead to groundbreaking developments and progress.”

This kind of mindset encourages us to seek education, innovation and to contribute to the society we live in.

This quote is a powerful reminder that there are possibilities for all of us in today’s world.

Follow Your Passions

Follow Your Passions

“Make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous.”

This is a good way of learning to appreciate our current circumstances while trying to strive for improvement.

We can learn from yesterday by making today an even better day.

One way in which we can improve today is by increasing our knowledge of the world and the planet we live in.

All of us wish we’d done more in school, but none of us are too old to learn.

We have a ‘thirst’ to know more and to learn more about the Earth and the world we live in, which stays with us all of our lives.

The new skills we can learn today will aid us in making tomorrow even better.

Follow your passions and your dreams and your life will have so much more meaning.

By making today awesome, we are being pro-active in encouraging improvement in our own individual lives.

It Is Very Deep

 It Is Very Deep

“Doing your best is more important than being the best.”

When you do your best, you have a real feeling of achievement.

You feel good about yourself and this builds up your self-confidence.

There is a deeper motivation behind ‘doing your best’ because you come to appreciate what you have done.

You see that all of that hard work was your doing and you then focus on the new skills that ‘you’ have developed.

We come to flourish in our own pathways and we become enriched in our own abilities.

There is nothing wrong with ‘being the best’ but it can be very shallow.

By ‘doing our best’, we are becoming stronger in our hold on life and we learn to have a deeper understanding of the world we live in.

Remain Balanced And Believe

 Remain Balanced And Believe

“Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.”

This kind of optimism can only help us to have a firm hold on life.

When we do our best to believe that something wonderful will happen, we are showing a strong and positive way of looking at life, and this can only inspire others who see it.

Believing this builds up our hope in the future, as well as our faith in today.

However, with belief comes responsibility with regards to our decisions and whole outlook on life.

We are responsible for our own lives, so our choices will affect, not just us, but others also.

This kind of optimism can lead to our own personal happiness and it keeps us grounded in realism.

It is essential to remain balanced and “believe”.

Be Courageous

Be Courageous

“Courage doesn’t mean you aren't afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.”

It is a choice!

When we don’t allow fear to stop us we are showing that we have control of our lives.

When we do not fear something, we have the courage to face it, overcome it, or simply ignore it.

It is natural to be nervous, for example, if we are involved in public speaking.

However, our courage to speak because we believe in ourselves, will overcome the fear of speaking in front of other people.

Fear can stop us from progressing in life, but our courage will keep us moving forwards.

Courage is the commitment to confront fear and the determination to keep control of our lives.

By being brave, we are inspiring others to be courageous themselves.

Never Wait, Take That Risk Today

 Never Wait, Take That Risk Today

“Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now.”

This encourages us to “live in the moment”.

We will create some happy and beautiful memories when we do this.

Some things, lovely things, to look back on.

But only if we live our dreams now!

The world we live in is full of opportunities and potential, and it is our choice to take these up.

Actively pursue your dreams today otherwise you could miss out on a happy and content life if you keep waiting for it.

Embrace the ‘risk’ which fosters personal growth and which strengthens our hold on life.

If we keep waiting on our journey in life, we will get nowhere in life.

Live your dream today.

Be Prepared To change

Be Prepared To Change

“My only competitor is the person I was yesterday.”

This quote is encouraging us to measure our own success through personal growth rather than ‘societal standards’.

Socrates emphasized the importance of self-knowledge and personal virtues.

Taking the time to increase and stretch our own skills will show “us” what we are capable of and who we are and can be.

This promotes creativity and innovation which is essential in ‘navagating’ through today’s challenges.

This encourages us to have a ‘transformative’ approach to personal development.

Be prepared to change so that you can become the best version of yourself possible.

By prioritizing self-improvement, we will promote mental well-being, which is so important in today’s world.

Aim For Self-Improvement

Aim For Self-Improvement

“Every day is a chance to be better than the day before.”

Every morning gives us a fresh opportunity to improve ourselves and our lives.

It is important for us to have self-reflection for self-improvement.

When we sit down and take five minutes every morning to ‘look at ourselves and our dreams’, we are giving ourselves a positive frame of mind for the day.

Helping ourselves to grow individually encourages a community of strong and happy people and a peaceful neighbourhood.

The thought that “every day is a chance to be better than the day before” is a universal ‘invitation’ to every human on Earth to enjoy life on this planet.

To strive for progress without the need to be perfect.

When we all individually do this, we aim for a peaceful planet Earth.

"Believe"

“Believe”

“When you stop doubting yourself, you get a chance to see what you’re capable of.”

We do live in a very competitive world and when we see what others can do, we start to doubt ourselves which stops us from moving forwards in our lives.

How do we “see” ourselves?

By ‘not’ doubting ourselves, we truly do see what we are capable of!

Conquering our fears and taking a chance will show us our strengths and skills we did not even know that we have.

All of this is needed for personal development and to reinforce belief in ourselves .

We need to believe that our abilities improve with effort.

Believing in ourselves leads to a greater sense of achievement, resilience and persistence in our lives.

This will also inspire others to believe in themselves.

Nurture Those Thoughts

 Nurture Those Thoughts

“Your mind will always believe everything that you tell it. Feed it truth. Feed it hope. Feed it with love.”

Our minds are one of the most important aspects of our bodies.

Like we do our best to eat healthy food, so should we do the same with the things we ‘allow’ into our minds.

Taking time, every day, to build up our minds with positive affirmations strengthens our mental health.

We want to “feed” our minds with “truth”.

We want to “feed” our minds with “hope”.

We want to “feed” our minds with “love”.

It is our responsibility to shape our thinking with optimistic thoughts, paving the way for healthier emotions.

All of this will help us to heal our minds every day.

Nurture those thoughts.

Smile, Repeat, Smile.

Smile, Repeat, Smile.

“Be the reason someone smiled today.”

Be the reason ‘you’ smiled today — look in the mirror and smile back at yourself!

Repeat this every time you see someone during the day.

A smile is contagious.

When someone smiles at you, you just ‘have’ to smile back.

This can only promote a community of united, happy and joyful people.

A person’s actions can really impact another person’s emotions.

The right word said at the right time comes to mind.

The ‘beauty’ of the smile is that we can smile at anyone, even people we do not know, and we will probably never know how much that smile ‘helped’ that person.

This encourages positivity and that “life” is good.

Embrace Change

 Embrace Change

“All endings are also beginnings. We just didn't know it at the time.”

This encourages hope.

Recognising that an ending paves the way to a new beginning encourages us to believe in the future and in ourselves.

When we embrace change, we promote resilience and acceptance.

Life no longer becomes uncertain because we are more in control, especially within our minds.

Yielding to these “new beginnings” enriches our lives with personal growth.

We learn new skills and nurture our mental health with positivity.

Every “ending” can seem sad but when we remember that a ‘new door’ will open, we can look forward to a ‘new beginning’ of something exciting.

“Train your mind to see the good in every situation.”

It is essential that we cultivate a positive mindset in a world filled with challenges.

The idea of training our mind to ‘see the good in every situation’ is an important practice to have every day of our lives.

Daily meditation encourages us and strengthens our mental health, which is one of the most important aspects of our lives.

This will also help us to see the ‘positives’, even in challenges that we see every single day of our lives.

“Seeing the good in every situation” fosters hope and unity and strength.

Balance is needed to see the positive but also to accept the truth of the situation.

In this way, we become resilient in life.
