Both Deserve To Be Celebrated

 Both Deserve To Be Celebrated

“Celebrate every win, no matter how small”.

When we were much younger, at primary school, we got a gold star every time we got our sums right.

When we passed our exams at secondary school, our parents ‘rewarded’ our hard work with a gift, (my parents gave me a tiny black kitten to say “Well Done”).

When we got our first job, some of us ‘celebrated’ our first wage packet by buying something nice, (I bought myself a nice dress and jacket).

All of these are ways of ‘celebrating every win’, no matter how small it seems.

A small win to one person is a massive win to another person, both “wins” deserve to be celebrated.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You'll Be Pleased You Did

 You’ll Be Pleased You Did

“If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working for it”.

You know that feeling, when something is constantly on your mind and you just can’t stop thinking about “it” — what do you do?

Do you ‘just’ think about it?

Or

Do you actually ‘do’ something about it?

When we really want something, whether it’s a career, a profession, a job, or anything else, it is in our minds all of the time and that is how we know that we really want it, or are meant to have it.

So, do something about it.

Find a way of working for it or saving up to buy it.

Keep on until you finally ‘have it’ and it no longer constantly fills your mind.

You’ll be pleased and happy that you did.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Take Baby Steps First

 Take Baby Steps First

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day-in and day-out”

When we were toddlers, we took baby-steps when we were learning to walk.

When we were at school and learning to read and write, we first learnt the alphabet.

It’s the same in life itself.

Small ‘steps’, every single day, will build up our routine, and a Good and Strong routine is vital in life.

In this way we build up a Happy and Successful life.

A dancer learns the basic steps first, to build up a Strong foundation to be able to move on to the more complicated steps. The final dance routine is Amazing to watch.

The same is absolutely true when it comes to our ‘accomplishments’ in life.

Remember too, that when others see us doing this, it Encourages them also.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Take Full Control

 Take Full Control

“Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday. Let it go”.

Leave the past in the past and look forward to tomorrow.

The difficulty comes when we’ve been through a trauma of some kind and are ‘scarred’ in some way, and then our minds keep ‘reliving’ the trauma.

What we need to do is accept what has happened and “show” how Strong we are by making New and Happier memories, and by moving on in life.

Have that coffee with that friend who is always laughing. Buy yourself that special little gift. Enjoy that takeaway.

You Deserve all of these nice things and a happy life.

Let the past go!

Look forward to and plan a happier tomorrow.

Take full Control of your own life again!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Start Right Now, Today !

 Start Right Now, Today !

“You are the writer of your own story. So write something good everyday”

Our lives are in our own hands.

Our minds are in our own hands.

So it’s up to us if we want to have a Positive influence on those around us or a negative one.

This also shows how much Confidence and Belief we have in ourselves.

We love to be around people who Smile, Laugh and Joke because it makes us feel Good. Let’s be that person.

However, it is a choice.

One will make us Happy and the other will make us sad.

It would be Good to make Happy memories to look back on, and the beauty of time is that we can start ‘writing’ something Nice and Good right now, today.

So be in Control of your own life and “write something good” today.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Positive Or Negative ?

 Positive Or Negative ?

“There are only two options: make progress or make excuses”

The Strong make progress and the weak make excuses.

Who are you and I?

To be ‘industrious’ and ‘busy’ is good for our health, both mentally and physically. Our minds are too busy planning and working things out, and the exercise is good for our physical health, getting the heart pumping, the lungs breathing and the muscles moving.

Making excuses ‘not’ to do something is lazy, leaving our minds to dwell on negative thoughts, and leaving our bodies to cramp-up through lack of movement.

One has a Positive effect and one has a negative effect.

I know which one I’d rather have.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Do Not Quit !!!

 Do Not Quit !!!

“It’s a slow process but quitting won’t speed it up”

Anything worth having in life is worth waiting for and worth working for.

It may take years, but if you ‘keep going’, you will eventually receive or have it.

If you quit — you’ll never receive or have anything.

Which is best?

When a mother is first pregnant, nine months can seem ever such a long time, but when she holds her new-born baby in her arms, the wait “IS” worthwhile.

A student studying for his or her qualifications does not quit, because the five years of hard studying is worth it to become the doctor who can (and does) save lives.

A ballet dancer starts from a very young age to learn the steps, the routine and the movements for Swan Lake. This takes many years but the end performance is beautiful to watch.

If you ever feel like quitting just remember => you won’t receive anything by quitting.

And it does give you a sense of achievement when you, at last, finish the job.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
