You Have Won

 You Have Won

“Just because you are struggling does not mean you’re failing”

We Appreciate Life much more when we have had to struggle to keep it.

You are not alone!

Every one of us is struggling, some quietly, some loudly, but we are all struggling.

What does “struggle” mean?

“It is a forceful effort to get free from restraint”.

“To proceed with great effort”.

This has a Positive feeling to it.

You want to do well in that exam so you put in a great deal of effort to pass it.

You really want that new job, so you overcome your limited knowledge and learn as much as you can about it.

When a mother gives birth, she could be struggling for hours in labour, but when she holds her new-born son or daughter in her arms — she has won over the struggle!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Just Sit Down !

 Just Sit Down

“Remember to turn everything off at least once a week, including your brain, then sit somewhere quiet and just chill out”

Every single one of us needs to do this!

To Stop, Sit Quietly and Relax, to just Rest.

By doing this, we are giving our minds and our bodies time to Rest and Build themselves up.

This is also a ‘physical’ thing.

By “Resting”, we are being kind to our eyes, to our ears, even to our voices, as well as physically resting our arms, our legs and our bodies.

This all sounds almost childish, but think to yourself — when was the last time you gave yourself some “me-time”?

Remember the “3 R’s” =>

Rest.

Relax.

Rebuild.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Believe In Your Own Abilities

 Believe In Your Own Abilities

“Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe”

This is learning to use our energy for the Right Reasons.

We have already used up a lot of energy going through the difficult situation, let’s use our energy now to Believe in Ourselves and to Build Positive Energy in our lives.

Using our energy up in an Optimistic way will also leave no energy for worrying.

If we can’t do anything about the ‘problem’, there is no point in worrying about it anyway.

And if we ‘Can’ do something to get rid of the problem, then use the energy to change your life — for the Better.

Believe in Yourself.

Believe in Life.

Believe in Others.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Everyone Loves A Cheerful Person

 Everyone Loves A Cheerful Person

“Keep smiling and one day life will get tired of upsetting you”

If we constantly put on that Positive face and constantly have that Positive attitude, negativity will soon give up and disappear.

The ‘trick’ is staying Positive 24/7.

Again, this comes down to what we ‘allow’ ourselves to think about.

It comes down to what we ‘put’ into our minds.

And like we wouldn’t want to poison ourselves physically, the same applies to us mentally.

If we know that something will ‘trigger’ us, we want to keep away from it.

And instead, look at, read and “do” things that make our minds Strong.

And that makes us Smile too.

This is also a good way to make friends, because everyone loves a cheerful person.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Plan To Enjoy

 Plan To Enjoy

“Life is a journey with problems to solve and lessons to learn but most of all — experiences to enjoy”

I am quite nervous when it comes to travelling so I try to plan ahead and keep myself busy during the journey.

Life Itself can be nerve-wracking.

As we grow up, we learn from new experiences, and then we become old enough to ‘Have’ and / or ‘Control’ our own lives.

We may not be able to plan for years and years ahead, but we can ‘plan’ for tomorrow or next week, and plan to “Enjoy” our lives.

To a certain degree, this means having Faith and Confidence in Ourselves.

This is also a very Positive way of looking at our lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Appreciate That Kindness

 We Appreciate That Kindness

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. Always”

We know the old saying: “treat others as you would like to be treated”, I think that the two go together.

Every one of us is going through something the other knows nothing about, and this is why we should be Kind to everyone we meet.

Usually, when we smile at someone, even a stranger, they smile back, but even if they don’t, still smile at them.

We don’t know ‘why’ he or she didn’t smile back. It could be as simple as just coming from the dentist, or it could be as serious as losing a loved one in death.

And, because ‘we just don’t know’, we should “Always” be Kind.

We Appreciate that Kindness ourselves, when it is shown towards us.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

This Is Joy

 This Is Joy

“Find joy in everything you do. Every job, relationship, home — it’s your responsibility to love it or change it”

When we find Joy in our everyday lives, we become much more Happier in ourselves.

Whilst it is true that many of us are in a job because we need the money, and it may not be what we would like to do, however, we can still find Joy in our day at work, (even if it’s just looking forward to lunch!).

If we really are that unhappy then it is up to us to ‘change our lives’.

Like the quote says, it is our ‘Responsibility’.

Thinking about this Beautiful planet Earth we live on, and all Its variety of Life, brings a Smile to our faces.

This is Joy.

So, whatever we are doing in everyday life, we can always find Joy.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
