It Is A Matter Of Appreciation

 It Is A Matter Of Appreciation 

"Life is a gift. Wake up every day and realize that"

For anyone who has gone through a Life or death 'situation' and come through it Alive, every day of Life really is a Gift.

Life is the one thing that we must never take for granted.

We have heard it many times: here today but gone tomorrow. 

When a mother goes through childbirth, she cuddles her new-born baby like a Priceless Gift, which indeed he or she is.

What makes "Life" a Gift?

The very fact that we Live on such a Unique and Beautiful planet'proves' that our Lives are Gifts. 

But we've got to be Alive to See, Appreciate, be Amazed by and 'Experience' this Earth.

When we Appreciate this about Life Itself, we want to make the most of each and every day.

What better time to this than when we first wake up every morning. 

Over our first drink of the day, write down three things that we are Thankful for in our Lives.

Even if we write down the three same things every day, this is what 'we' Appreciate in 'our' Lives.

This Positive 'way of life' will show Itself and it will Encourage others who are around us too.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Use Your Freedom Wisely

 Use Your Freedom Wisely 

"What you do makes a difference. And you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make"

The very fact that this is a 'choice' shows the freedom we have in this world. 

Do we want to make a Positive difference or a negative one?

The saying is true that what we give out will 'return' to us.

What are you 'passionate' about that would have a Strengthening impact on the world around you?

Many people volunteer and do charity work, which is also a good way of making new friends with like-minded people. 

Of course, with anything that we choose to do, there will be 'obstacles' which we must be prepared to overcome. 

When something really matters in our Lives, we make time to raise that Awareness and to Help others towards 'the right path'.

This could be anything:

Coming through cancer, 

Overcoming drug or drink addiction, 

Going through homelessness, 

Or even using food banks.

The list is endless and we are never alone, because someone somewhere has been through the very same experience. 

Because someone had a Positive effect on our Lives, we can now make a Positive difference in someone else's Life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Control The Option

 Control The Option

"Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional"

I really like this 'quote'.

We can Prepare and Protect ourselves from Life's challenges, but it is a choice whether we 'follow through' or not.

It Is reality to know that 'situations' will come up all of the time, it is just the society we Live in.

But again, it is our "choice" to overcome and beat them, or, let 'them' overcome us and beat us.

These 'challenges' can come from anywhere --- personal, professional, within relationships and even within ourselves with our Health, Mental or Physical or both.

We can either be Positive and 'fight' these, or, be negative and give up and loose our grip on Life.

We never want to let depression 'creep in' and 'control' our Minds.

We 'want' to be in full Control of our Lives, Mentally, Emotionally and Physically. 

We 'want' to be known as Positive, Determined and Strong. 

And we want friends who are of a similar mind, and then we can "Build" each other up.

Life on this planet Earth is Beautiful and it is up to us to Enjoy this Life --- no matter what.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Tomorrow Becomes Today, Today Becomes Yesterday

 Tomorrow Becomes Today, Today Becomes Yesterday

"Always remember that your present situation, it's not your final destination. The best is yet to  come"

This is a good thing to Remember at any time in our Lives, but especially when we are going through some kind of difficult situation.

Tomorrow will always become Today, and Today will become Yesterday.

The Beauty of Living on Earth is that Time is constantly moving.

When we 'Plan' our days, and therefore our Lives, we 'know' that any problems are only temporary. 

And we also "Know" that we have Control of our own Lives.

This can apply especially when we have a 'Dream' that we are working hard to 'come true'.

Nothing and no one can stop us!

When we keep the attitude that "the best is yet to come", we will be able to overcome most problems and situations. 

Most of the time it is just a matter of "Believing In Ourselves".

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

What Choice Will You Make?

 What Choice Will You Make?

"Having a soft heart in a cruel world is Courage, not weakness"

Showing "Love" in any kind of world shows that we have a Positive Heart.

'Having' a Soft Heart Proves that we "Care" about others and their Lives.

This shows "Courage"!

What is a 'soft heart'?

A person who is Kind and Generous.

Someone who is Sympathetic towards other people.

In some places, this is going against the grain so it does take Courage and Strength.

All of these 'qualities' are Positive ones and can only Encourage others.

When we show this Kindness, we are seeing beyond our own struggles and already trying to think about how to Help others.

We mustn't forget our own 'Health' though because Self-Care is just as Important as having a Soft Heart. 

Balance is needed, like all things in Life.

We Live in a world of war, crime and sickness, and we need to Protect our Hearts so that we are 'not torn apart emotionally '.

We could be in danger of becoming too hard-hearted and loosing our humanity.

We need Courage to be Soft-Hearted in this world because it is a choice.

A very Positive and Strong Choice.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Focus On Your Own Happiness

 Focus On Your Own Happiness

"I focus on the present, finding joy in the now"

Practicing Mindfulness will Help us to 'stay in the moment'.

Practicing daily Gratitude will Help us to find Joy and Happiness in the present moment.

We mustn't let past bad situations 'rob' us of a Peaceful Life Today.

When we Meditate on a daily basis, our Minds 'automatically' start to Think Positive Thoughts.

This keeps our Minds 'full' of Strength, leaving no room for weak negativity.

This is a very Important part of Caring for Ourselves.

Looking ahead and Planning our Lives Helps us to have Faith in Ourselves.

That we have Control of our Minds and Bodies.

The word "Focus" means: 'the centre of interest or activity'.

We should be making our own Lives the 'Centre' of our world.

This is not selfish but necessary for us to be Healthy Mentally, which will keep us Healthy Emotionally and Physically.

There is nothing wrong with Focusing on our Own Happiness.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Let's Benefit Ourselves

"I find power in my ability to relax and let go"

When someone has this ability, it shows that he or she has "Control" over their own Lives.

In a fast-paced world which can be extremely stressful, it is a "Skill" to let go and relax.

By doing this, you and I are putting our Mental Health before anything or anyone else.

Life is one big journey full of different 'circumstances' and 'situations' which we need to 'steer' through.

The more we can do this in a 'relaxed' manner, the "Stronger" we will become in Life, Mentally, Emotionally and Physically.

By letting go, we are staying in the moment by not allowing our Minds to wander on past bad experiences.

To "Relax" means to 'become less tense or anxious'.

This can only Benefit us, both Mentally and Physically.

And when we 'react' in this way, we have a certain type of "Power" because we are proving to others that we have that "Control" over Our own Lives.

Positive Peace and Harmony are far Stronger than negative stress and anxiety.

So let's Benefit Ourselves by Strengthening our ability to Relax and Let Go.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!
