Don't Quit, Rest!

 "If you get tired, learn to rest, not quit"

At the end of the day, when you've finished work, had dinner, sorted out the 'family' and sitting down, how do you feel?

Some feel this at the beginning of every day.

However, after a night's sleep, resting and laying down, and the alarm goes off (not too early), ready for another day --- how do you feel now?

It is so True.

Our bodies and our minds NEED to Rest.

It is the way we are designed.

Of course, this can apply to a certain 'situation' we may be in --- a job we are struggling with, a school or college that we just don't feel we 'fit in', or the more serious 'situations' like caring for a sick relative or being sick ourselves (or even domestic abuse of some kind).

Do Not Give Up!

These 'situations' can make us very tired, having to "fight" every single day, all of the time, and we could feel like just giving up.

Do not Give Up!

There is always HOPE and sometimes we need to find that quiet space of our own to rest our minds (and bodies) to give us the STRENGTH to continue that day.
Also, please do not forget the many professionals out here who just want to help support you, even to change your 'situation' (if possible).

You Are Not Alone!

And, in a few months time (even years), when things have changed --- you'll be glad you're still here and didn't give up because Life is Worth Living.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It's Our Privilege!

 "At any given moment you have the power to say: This is not how the story is going to end"

Our lives are in our hands!

Only we have the right to 'change' our lives for the better, making us happier.

When we find ourselves in a difficult 'circumstance', we must be Strong and have the Courage to change things for the better.

And we CAN!

Whether it is finding a better job, doing that course which we've always wanted to do, or just visiting that friend we haven't see for ages --- it is within our 'power' to do these things.

Our lives are our stories and only we have the right to 'write' them.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

"Oh, You Are Kind"

 "Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts"

I love this saying! ! !

A kind word can make all the difference to our day.

Even a kind action.

A smile can sometimes just take the edge off of a very difficult day.

We are all 'fighting' to keep our mental health, our physical health, our families or even ourselves, and that kind word or action can make life worth living after all.

And doesn't it 'seem' like a miracle when we see that kind person?

When we all look out for each other --- miracles happen every single day!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Just Be Happy With What You've Got

 "Happiness is not about getting all you want, it is about enjoying all you have"

Do we really appreciate all of the physical things we have?

Food, clothes, homes, entertainment, even jobs, etc,etc,etc.

When we see others who have lost everything in floods or earthquakes, 'natural disasters', or even wars --- are we grateful for what we personally have?

Happiness comes from appreciating what we have now, today!

So many strive after 'material things', missing time with their families because they are more interested in gaining more money or 'things' --- but are they truly happy?

When we look around our lives / homes --- do we really appreciate and love what we have?

And often, when we do appreciate what we have today, we do receive 'more' (which can make our lives a little easier).

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Say - Action - Prove It!

 "People may say things with good intentions, but their actions prove who they truly are"

We all have that one friend or relative who always promises to visit and never does.

That one person always promises to help when we're in need but seem to stay away from us.

And then there is that one friend or relative who is always there, willing to help us, no matter what.

He or she is always visiting, or phoning, or popping round with a loaf of bread, and he or she really is a good friend or relative.

Who are we?

Who am I?

Do I say I'll do something and then 'duck out' at the last minute? Or do I actually 'do' what I say I'll do.

What kind of a reputation do I have?

"Their actions prove who they truly are".

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You Do Have Potential

 "You're so busy doubting yourself while so many others are intimidated by your potential"

When others look at us, what do they see?

When we look at ourselves, what do we see?

We are (sometimes) so busy comparing ourselves with others, that we do not see what others can see in us, and (sometimes) our potential can frighten them.

They are looking at us thinking: "I could never be as strong as him / her", even whilst we're saying the same thing about them!

We need to stop, sit down and really think about our own potential, what we can do, and even what we have done.

When we see the potential in ourselves and our friends, we realize just how Strong all of us are. 

It's this Strength that we need to keep and show every single day. After all, we never know who is watching us and how that Strength can help another person.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Happiness Is A Choice

 "Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your circumstances, but with you"

Isn't this so true!?!

No matter where we are, if we are happy inside, it will always show.

No matter what job we are working, if we are determined to be happy within ourselves, our colleagues will see.

No matter who our family are, or what 'kind' of relationship we are in, if we choose to be happy, 'they' will see it.

And how much better do we feel when we are happy.

Even at school, college or university, we can be happy inside and out, and our fellow students will see that smile is not a 'forced' smile but a genuine smile.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
