A More Meaningful Life

 A More Meaningful Life

“Be happy with what you have while working for what you want”

This is a very ‘practical’ quote.

It is so important to keep control of our time and to use it wisely.

In order to do this, we must first of all have the right mindset.

We need to be grateful and content with what we have in our lives whilst, at the same time, still working towards our dreams.

Appreciating what and who we have in our lives today, will motivate us to want to move forwards in our journey of life.

Balance is needed to live in the moment and actively work towards our dreams.

All of this will lead to a more meaningful life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

One Amazing Success

 One Amazing Success

“Every small achievement will soon be one amazing success”

It is with little steps that we learn to walk when we are babies.

Then, as we become stronger in walking, some of us move on to become athletes and win medals for running.

But it all starts with small steps as a baby.

Everything we do in life is the same.

A ballet dancer practices the basic steps  for years, until he or she is good enough to perform on the stage.

Both are great achievements.

You and I may never be athletes or ballet dancers, but we still achieve great things every day.

Celebrate every small achievement and this will motivate you and I to move on to bigger goals.

Stay focused.

Be determined.

Hard work will help us to accomplish each step with success.

In this way, we will be moving forwards and becoming stronger in our achievements.

Then one day, we will wake up and realize that our lives are ‘one amazing success’.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Happy And Healthy

 Happy And Healthy

“I have decided to be happy because it’s good for my health”

Choosing to be happy will improve our quality of life.

It is a proven fact that ‘laughter is the best medicine’.

This will have a significant impact on our mental and physical “well-being”.

When we make a decision to prioritize our happiness, we are focusing on helping ourselves mentally and physically.

This is not always easy because we are always so busy caring for those we love, and making sure everyone else is happy.

Just don’t forget that ‘you’ deserve to be happy and healthy too.

The rewards for focusing on our own happiness are worth spending 10 - 15 minutes every day in self-care.

Contentment, 

joy,

Cheerful,

Enjoyment.

These are all words that signify happiness and each one of them is ‘good’ for our overall health.

It is something that we can do individually to help and support our mental and physical health.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Gifts And Blessings

 Gifts And Blessings

“Happiness isn’t about what you want all the time. It’s about loving what you have and being grateful for it”

Many times, happiness is ‘living in the moment’.

When we appreciate what we have today, we rarely ‘want’ anything else.

When we are grateful for the people we have in our lives, we start to know what joy is.

It is important to focus on being happy with our lives “now” because then we will find the balance that we need in life.

Happiness comes from within our hearts and within our lives.

Being content with what we have in life will give us so much peace, and peace is so important for our mental health.

Everything and everyone we have in our lives are “blessings” and it is essential that we remember this every day of our lives.

Find joy in what you have today, and love and cherish who you have in your life.

Like life itself, both are “gifts”.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

This Really Is Important

This Really Is Important

“Remember to take care of yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup”

Self-care is just as important as caring for ourselves physically.

We need to rest and refresh and ‘refill’ mentally, as well as physically.

This is not selfish but a very real necessity.

We cannot look after others if we are not looking after ourselves.

This is where balance is vital and needed.

When we ‘fill our own cup’ through self-care, we will have more energy and compassion, and we will be able to give more of ourselves to those we love and care for.

For our ‘cup’ to overflow with positivity and abundance, we need to set self-care as a priority every single day.

This is important for us to remember because by doing this, we are also respecting ourselves.

I Hold The Pen

I Hold The Pen

“I trust the next chapter because I’m the author”

The power to shape our own lives is in our own hands.

And we can shape our lives into anything we want to.

Each new day presents us with new opportunities.

We need to believe in our own abilities and have confidence in ourselves.

Being the “author” of our own lives means being in full control of every aspect of our journey in life.

Every day we are alive, our ‘story’ is still being told.

Every morning is a new page for us to ‘write on’, so let’s make each new page a happy and positive ‘page’.

When we overcome challenges and problems, we have something optimistic to ‘write down’.

Every day we spend with our loved ones, making happy memories, we have something ‘good’ to put into our ‘book’.

We hold the ‘pen’ in our lives, even as we hold the ‘book’, so let’s enjoy our ‘stories’ and make new and happy memories.

Embrace every chapter in your life because you, and only you, are the author.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You Will 'Live Your Dreams'

You Will ‘Live Your Dreams’

“The biggest adventure you can take on is to live the life you dream”

How lovely this quote is.

It really encourages us to ‘live our dreams’.

This is our greatest journey in life and our greatest adventure.

We get so busy in our lives that we forget that we have dreams and even what those dreams are.

Every day, sit down and think about your ‘dream’, even if it is only in your mind’s eye, and you will soon be following and living your dream.

It makes life so much more enjoyable when we can ‘live the life we dream’.

This is one area where we can find peace and true happiness in our lives.

Nothing worth having is ever easy, but the fact that this is our dream will make life more enjoyable.

When we follow our dreams, we are rewarded with a life full of passion, purpose and joy.

By following the kind of life that we really want, we are discovering who we are and what we are capable of.

Believe in yourself and that you can and will ‘live your dreams’.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
