We Are Blessed And Lucky

 We Are Blessed And Lucky

“If you have a family that loves you, a roof over your head and a warm meal, you’re doing better than you think”

We go about our normal lives and do not always think about this.

It is often not until some difficulty crosses our paths that we realize just what we do have.

We can choose our friends but not our family.

However, without our family, we may not fully appreciate the good in our friends.

And think about the fact that most of us have a family, whereas many are raised in an orphanage and have no family.

We are Blessed.

Most of us have a home to live in, which is warm and dry and cozy.

A homeless person would like a roof over their heads if only for one night.

We are Lucky.

We go about our day ‘expecting’ a warm meal at some point during that day.

And yet, the very poor still live amongst us and may only be able to afford one hot meal a week.

Can we share our meal?

It can be quite an eye-opener when we think about these things.

Again, it comes down to having a Grateful Heart and Appreciating what we do personally have in Life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

“Never be a prisoner of your past. It was just a lesson, not a life sentence”

Let it go.

If it doesn’t affect you today, now, don’t let it.

And if there is nothing you can do about it, don’t even think about it.

Many things from the past stay in our minds.

Some are nice and good memories.

Some are sad, negative and are ‘scars’.

Which ones will you allow to ‘influence’ your Future?

Every memory that we have we can Learn from and ‘use’ to help us as we go through Life.

When we went to school and had a lesson on any subject, we learned about that subject, and used that knowledge to help us as we moved onto college and / or work.

However, we do not ‘live’ that subject.

We have all gone through difficult situations, possibly getting hurt emotionally.

But we must not let this ruin our Love for Life.

We must ‘use’ these past experiences as stepping stones towards what we want in our Lives.

And what we Deserve in our Lives.

Show how Strong You Are!

Learn from the past to support your Life Now and in the Future.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Add It To Your Routine

 Add It To Your Routine

“Start each day with a grateful heart”

First thing in the morning, we get up, wash, dress, have breakfast and get ready for the day.

Can we add to this having a ‘grateful heart’?

By bringing this into our routine every single morning, we will start to ‘do this’ without even thinking about it.

Think about “what” you have to be grateful for.

You slept safely through the night.

You have woken up this morning, got up and moved about.

Many people are disabled or ill and cannot get up or move about by themselves.

We should be Grateful that we Can.

You had a nice wash, in your own bathroom, and have nice and decent clothes to wear.

A homeless person would be happy to share a bathroom and have warm clothes to wear.

It is so easy to take this for granted.

We have places to go to today, work, school, college, the shops and even our family.

Those who live in war-torn countries have lost all of this.

This really is something to be grateful for!

Take a few minutes to sit down and think about what other things you have in your life to be grateful for.

Write it down if you want to.

Yes, every single one of us has something to be “Grateful” for in our Lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Feel Good In Yourself

 Feel Good In Yourself

“Your vibe attracts your tribe”

What’s your vibe?

What’s my vibe?

What’s the vibe that surrounds us?

A “Vibe” is: a person’s emotional state or the atmosphere of a place as communicated to and felt by others.

This makes sense now.

What ‘type’ of Vibe do you and I want to ‘give off’?

Positive.

Strong.

Determined.

Happy.

Confidence.

Inorder to attract people with these ‘qualities’ or ‘vibes’, we need to have them ourselves and show them to others.

Smile when you greet people, especially at yourself when you look in the mirror first thing in the morning.

Talk about Happy and Cheerful things — they are there if we would only look for them and see them.

Think about Nice things and these will ‘push away’ the negative thoughts that can creep in.

Meditate on Encouraging words.

These will ‘automatically’ stay in your mind and you will feel better in yourself.

And when we ‘feel’ Good, this vibrates onto others.

This is a good way to ‘attract your tribe’.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Live, Breathe And Dream "It"

 Live, Breathe And Dream “It”

“Nobody is ever “too busy”, if they’re interested, they’ll make time”

When we want something, and I mean really want something, it is on our minds all of the time.

We Live, Breathe and Dream “It”.

We read about it and think about it.

And without even realizing, we spend more and more time ‘on it’.

The difficulty comes when we may not be ‘so’ interested in something, for example, like a project for work or school or college.

We need to try to “see” the Benefits in the ‘thing’.

Or it may just be that we’ve got to do it anyway.

Not being “too busy” means that we have a Control on our Time.

That Time doesn’t just ‘fly by’ as in “where has the time gone?”

Keeping Control of our Time also means that we have Control of our Lives too.

And then, we will never be “too busy” for something that we are personally really interested in.

If you’re interested, you’ll make time.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Be Proud

 Be Proud

“All that, and you’re still standing”

Look in the mirror and smile and say: “Well Done”.

Yes, you are talking to yourself.

You are looking at yourself too.

How do you feel?

We are so used to encouraging others, which is a good thing, that we forget what we Ourselves have Accomplished.

This is why it is such a good idea to have a journal, and to write down what you have overcome in your life.

Write down how you felt and how you feel today.

Write in your journal also what you have ‘personally’ accomplished and what you have ‘personally’ gone through.

You will surprise yourself as to what you have actually done!

And for once, don’t be ‘modest’ with yourself but ‘tell the truth’.

Another thought is that you’ve been through a very difficult time and yet, you are still the same caring and loving person you have always been.

You should be Proud of Yourself.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Move Or Stand Still?

 Move Or Stand Still?

“Focus on progression not perfection”

To “Progress” means to move forward or onward.

It is a movement towards a destination or a goal.

Progression is also a Development towards an improved or more advanced ‘condition’.

“Perfection” is a person or thing considered to be perfect.

I would rather Progress and Move Forwards in my life.

What about you?

It is always better to Focus the Mind on Movement than it is to stare at something that is not moving.

Thinking about Moving Forwards in anything keeps the Mind Active, which is so Important for our Mental Health!

It also depends on what we want in life.

To “be” perfect and never achieve anything.

Or to constantly progress and achieve things that we never knew we could achieve.

What would YOU want to do?

This applies to anything in our lives, whatever we are doing, and even how we live our lives.

A ‘perfect’ nurse can be a doctor but only “if” he or she focuses on progressing and not on perfection.

A teacher can become the head of the school, but only if he or she moves on in the teaching profession.

What about you and I?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
