Write Your Own Story

 Write Your Own Story

“You cannot go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending”

This encourages us to live in the present moment.

We can learn from the past and use that knowledge to shape our lives, today and for our futures.

We need to focus on the present day and use every opportunity to create a beautiful future.

This is not easy!

By making positive changes now, we will have the control and the power to have the kind of life that we personally want.

We need to let go of the past.

We need to embrace the future.

Every one of us is unique and every one of us has our own unique paths to go down.

Only we can ‘write’ the kind of story that we want to live in.

It is never too late to change our lives, to change our ‘story’, so that we can become a happier and stronger version of ourselves.

We want a fulfilling life and ‘work’ today for a fulfilling future.

Let’s make every moment count today towards a bright and lovely future.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Be Willing To Work Hard

 Be Willing To Work Hard

“Success never comes easy; patience and hard work are the only keys”

The word “Success” means: ‘the accomplishment of an aim or purpose’.

Anything that is ‘accomplished’ has taken hard work and patience.

This teaches us that perseverance and dedication are needed for overcoming challenges and succeeding in our lives.

Nothing in life comes ‘free’, so if we are prepared to put time and effort into our lives, our journey will be more successful.

Also, by applying patience and diligence, we will grow and reach our full potential, opening up new opportunities for ourselves.

Any ‘dream’ will always take work to achieve that ‘level’ we want to achieve.

How good we will feel and how proud of ourselves we will be once ‘we’ve got there’.

Remember, though, that life itself requires constant determination and that willingness to make our daily lives successful.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It's All About Control

It’s All About Control

“The calmer you are, the clearer you think. Move with strategy, not with emotions”

How true these words are!

If only we could keep them in our minds when things become difficult.

Mindful Meditation every morning will definitely help.

We need to cultivate a sense of calmness in our everyday lives, which will stay with us during the challenging times.

Prioritizing a rational mind will help us to think in a clearer way, which will help us to make ‘the right decisions’.

It is difficult when our emotions are involved, but the calmer we are, the more “control” we will have over the situation.

Never make a decision when you are feeling emotional, but stop and try to think about things in a calm manner, and maybe with a clearer mind, you will ‘see your way’.

Thinking, writing down or even saying out loud positive affirmations, every day, will help to keep the calm thoughts in our minds.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It Brings Meaning To Our Lives

 It Brings Meaning To Our Lives

“Call me crazy but I love to see people happy and succeeding. Life is a journey, not a competition”

Does it seem crazy to want to see others happy and to be happy yourself?

Of course not!

We all want to live in a more peaceful and happier world.

It’s only natural.

Every one of us is on a journey, walking down our own unique path, because we are all so different and special.

This means that life is a ‘journey’ and not a competition.

When we encourage others to succeed, we are also encouraging ourselves to.

This “attitude” will spread happiness, contentment and kindness.

When we see someone succeed and smile, we become inspired ourselves and we have a sense of joy.

All of this makes the world around us a much more pleasant world to live in.

Life is a journey where we can support and uplift each other, even with our own versions of what success is.

Celebrating the success and happiness of others brings more meaning to our own lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Strong And Steady

 Strong And Steady

“You can’t always have a good day. But you can always face a bad day with a good attitude”

It’s all about what is in our minds and how we ‘want’ to be in life.

A patient and positive person sees the good in life, no matter how difficult the day may be.

It is a choice!

A positive attitude will help us to face the most challenging of days.

This mindset will keep us strong and steady in our journey in life.

Plus, we will learn to appreciate the good days, which we do and will have during our lives.

 In this way, we will always be optimistic even though we may have no control over our day.

We will ‘feel’ better about our day too.

Plus, our attitude is our greatest asset in overcoming any obstacles that come our way.

Remember to be positive and resilient and then we will grow and learn everyday.

“Our attitude is our greatest asset in overcoming the obstacles that do come our way".

Remember to be positive and resilient, and then we will grow and learn every single day.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Every Single Day

 Every Single Day

“Success doesn’t come from what you can do occasionally; it comes from what you do consistently”

When we want to do anything, it takes repetition and patience to get it right.

Every pianist will tell you that it is repeated practice, every single day, which turns the pupil into the master.

The same applies to a ballet dancer, it’s the basic dance moves, practiced every single day, which enables the dancer to learn the more difficult moves.

In fact, this ‘law of practice’ applies to everything we do in Life.

We learn to eat and swallow properly because we eat every day.

We learnt to walk because we ‘toddled’ every day.

Both of these things are very basic but necessary so we learn to do them, and still do them, every single day.

Imagine how well we could do when we practice something that we ‘dream’ of doing, every single day.

Everything we do starts in the mind!

Thinking about our dreams every day will encourage us to ‘practice’ them as much as we can, every single day if possible.

Consistent hard work and dedication will make our lives a success, even in the mundane things.

When we put the time and effort into something we really want to do, our lives will feel more fulfilled and successful.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Make That Conscious Effort

 Make That Conscious Effort

“Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts”

How true these words are!

Our “Minds” affect every aspect of our Lives so what we ‘allow’ ourselves to Think about, will affect us.

It does sound strange, but we need to “Think” about what we Think about.

What are we Focused on?

The Positive and Good?

Or the negative and bad?

We will either be Happy or sad.

What do you want in your Life?

What do I want in my Life?

Surely, anything that Strengthens and Helps us Mentally is worth Focusing on.

Our Mental Health is one of the most Important ‘things’ in our Lives and we must Care for this every single day of our Lives.

Practicing Gratitude will Encourage our Minds to see the Good in our everyday Lives.

This Helps us to Train our Minds  to Focus on the Positive.

The Good and the Positive is in every day, we just need to make that conscious effort to see it.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
