It Is Important To Us

 It Is Important To Us

“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favour”

Is it ‘Important Enough’ to you and I?

When there is a Reason behind doing something, “It” is achieved whatever the circumstances.

This can apply to many things in Life and, to some, even Life Itself can seem to have the ‘odds stacked against It’.

I’ve been reading about the nurses who served during the First World War, at home and abroad.

Many times it looked like everything was against them, especially when the enemy was bombing the makeshift hospitals.

Their sheer Resilience to do whatever they could to help the wounded soldiers — and the ‘odds’ really were against them — saved many lives, with many nurses receiving medals for their bravery.

Our lives are in no way like theirs was back then, which gives us Hope today.

When someone is going through treatment for cancer, they fight it ‘all the way’, and many are winning.

Again, are our personal lives anything like theirs?

Attitude and a certain Positive way of thinking will always get us through “It” because it is Important to us personally.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Determination And Confidence

 Determination And Confidence

“A positive attitude can really make dreams come true”

I’ve got an idea, a ‘dream’.

I can do this, I really can achieve this!

I’m living my ‘dream’!

A Positive Attitude makes most things seem Possible.

But what is an “Attitude”?

“A feeling or opinion about something or someone, or a way of behaving that is caused by this”.

A Feeling or an Opinion which affects what we do, how we behave and why we behave or do things ‘in a certain way’.

So let “Positive” be the “Why” and then Life will be Achievable.

Our dreams will become a possibility of coming true — with a Positive Attitude.

Inorder to become a Doctor, especially a specialised doctor, you have to have that very Positive Determination because of all the years of hard study and exams that have to be passed.

With this, no doubt, the person would have done his or her research first, and then that person would have felt much more Confident to move forward in their chosen career (or life).

Another example is the ballet dancer.

Without that Positive Love for ballet and the sheer Determination to dance those steps, he or she would never have the Right Attitude to dance in that theatre.

What about you and I?

With that Positive and Determined Attitude, we will have the Confidence to Have and Live our Dream.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Positive Means Possibilities

 Positive Means Possibilities

“Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will”

To be Positive means to go forwards, especially in Life.

Positive thinking can ‘free up the mind’, giving it space for more Constructive and Practical and Stronger thoughts.

And it is these ‘thoughts’ that will help us to progress in our lives, always keeping our heads high and a smile on our faces.

Who does better?

The Positive and Cheerful sales assistant, who always makes the customer laugh?

Or, the negative and moaning one, who is always complaining to anyone who will listen?

I think I know who I’d rather have serving me.

A Positive thinker also thinks of the Possibilities that are in front of him or her, finding ways to move forwards in life.

Life just comes easier when you are thinking in a Positive way.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We've Come This Far

 We’ve Come This Far

“Never stop believing in hope because miracles happen every day”

Another way of expressing this is to never stop Believing in Ourselves!

The thing with miracles is that we don’t always recognise them, sometimes, until they have gone. 

Always Believing in Hope is the same as always Believing in Life Itself, and we would never give up on Life.

The word Hope can mean: “a feeling of expectation or / and desire for a particular thing to happen”, or, “a feeling of trust”.

Do we Trust Ourselves?

Do we Trust in Life?

Will we always Believe in “Trust”?

“Miracles” are happening every day, all day, we just need to stop and ‘see’ them.

A new born baby is a miracle, just as the old lady is a miracle, who struggles to go out but still does to meet her friend at the cafe.

A student may think that it is a miracle when they pass that very difficult exam.

And a mum and dad are so Proud when they see their little one take his or her first steps.

What about you?

What ‘Miracles’ have You accomplished today?

Sit down and take a few minutes, quietly, to think about what YOU have done today, and allow yourself to feel Proud of yourself.

Some may say that it’s a miracle that we’ve come this far.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Never Forget That YOU Are The Gift!

 Never Forget That YOU Are The Gift

“Each day provides its own gifts”

This is so true, it’s just that we are often so busy that we don’t always ‘see’ or ‘think’ about these gifts.

Giving ourselves that crucial “me-time” every day helps us to see these gifts and how they affect our lives.

An obvious gift is the new-born baby who was born during the night, and who you visit in the morning.

But what about grandpa, who is always there, with a smile, a coffee and a biscuit?

We see grandpa all the time but listening to his war stories can be considered a gift, because he has knowledge and experience that we can only learn from.

Grandpa already knows his gifts, everyday, but he himself can be considered a “Gift!

And when you look at yourself in the mirror — You are the Gift — because you have gone a long way to get here today.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Make The Right Choice

 Make The Right Choice

“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become”

Not allowing the past to ‘mould’ us into being a person we would never want to be shows how Strong we are.

Everyone of us “Wants”  to be a certain person, living a certain way and being known for having certain qualities.

We need to be Positive to make sure that we Live and Have the Life that We Want.

Or choose to have.

Choice is such an Important word.

We must never forget that we do have a choice.

And we must never let anyone take that choice away from us!

We can either choose to have a Good Life and to be a Positive and Happy person.

Or to have an unhappy and negative and sad life.

Which one will help us Mentally?

For our own Mental Health, we must always choose the Positive way of Living.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Use It Wisely

 Use It Wisely

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time”

King Henry VIII said: “Of all the losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed”.

How true is this!

We cannot make time stand still and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Every ‘possession’ can be replaced, from food to clothes to money.

But time can never be ‘replaced’.

How many times have we looked back on something and thought: “I wish I’d done that when I had the time”?

This makes Time the most Valuable part of our Lives.

We need to really Appreciate and Use our Time in a Positive way now, because this will affect our Future.

Yes, Time is more Valuable than money as It can never be replaced with more Time.

This Encourages us to really use our Time Wisely, never wasting it for anyone or anything.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
