Contribute

Contribute

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”

Attention is linked to kindness.

When you are kind enough to give someone your attention, you could literally change their lives.

This ‘intentional’ focus helps us to encourage a sense of belonging, reminding the other person that he or she is seen, heard and valued.

Everything today moves along at such a fast pace that it seems a rare thing for someone to stop and listen.

Giving our time and listening to another shows a great deal about our own personality.

It is such a simple way of being generous that anyone and everyone can do — if they really want to!

This builds up trust which can only lead to a more united community.

In this way, we can contribute to a stronger and more positive world.

Appreciation Is Everything

 Appreciation Is Everything

“Appreciate what you have before time makes you appreciate what you had.”

I always think of someone I loved who has left us when I read this.

But, of course, it can apply to anything or anyone we hold dear.

We live such busy lives that it is so easy to overlook the simple joys that really do surround us and that are in our lives today.

It is so important for our mental health to take some time, every single day, to sit quietly and think about all of the good things and people in our lives.

Writing these down in a Gratitude journal will be a gentle reminder of what and who we should appreciate and be grateful for.

Focusing on the things and people which empowers us will fill our thoughts with constructive, optimistic and beneficial thoughts.

Appreciation is everything.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Stay Steadfast In Your Commitment

 Stay Steadfast In Your Commitment

“Never stop being a good person, because of bad people.”

Your kindness is a shining beacon in a world which is not always kind.

This encourages others to rise above the negativity and also shine through their positivity.

When we hear and see about what bad people do, use your compassion and respect as ‘shields’ against it.

Being determined to be and stay “a good person” is beneficial for both yourself and others around you.

It takes a great deal of strength to remain steadfast in your commitment to contribute to society  in a kind, loving and positive way. 

This shows that we want unity in our lives.

Every act of kindness, no matter how large or small, can touch a person’s heart and make him or her realize that life is good after all.

Step Forward

Step Forward

“You don’t have to be great to start. But you have to start to be great.”

It can be frightening to start on a new ‘adventure’ in our lives, and we may not even know where to start.

But we’re “thinking” about it which is always ‘the start’.

Then we need to actually move and do what we have been thinking about.

Growth can only come from steady progress.

Every successful person had to start somewhere and “learn” their skills.

You and I are no different!

Embrace the process of learning and acquiring new skills to make you the person you really want to be.

Every step forward is helping you to build the kind of foundation that you need for a strong life, now and in the future.

And remember to celebrate each and every win, large or small.

Each win is a step in the right direction.

Improve Life With Happiness

 Improve Life With Happiness

“You’re 100% responsible for your life. Stop whining and do something about it.”

When we take responsibility for our lives, we are showing everybody that we have Control over our lives.

Recognising that we have this kind of power in our lives is liberating.

As always, it is our mindset which will encourage us.

So focus on what you ‘can’ do!

We are the ‘architects’ of our lives, and by acknowledging this, we ‘empower’ ourselves.

Small but consistent steps lead towards progress.

At any time, we can start to ‘craft out a life’ for ourselves.

Each step forward, however small, shows the control we have over our own lives.

In this way, we are taking responsibility for our lives.

Break free from that cycle of complaining and turn each complaint into a new challenge and opportunity to improve our lives with happiness.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Are On A Unique Journey

 We Are On A Unique Journey

“Life is a trip. The only problem is that it doesn’t come with a map — we have to search our own routes to reach our destination.”

Life is one remarkable journey, which is filled with breathtaking views and unexpected detours.

Don’t miss out!

Whilst we are excited by discovery, we are nervous of the unknown.

Yet, if we look at every turn and twist in the road as an opportunity to learn and gain experience, the ‘unknown’ comes under our control and we lose our fears.

The beauty of this life is its diversity which adds to that rich tapestry of understanding.

And we are all a part of this rich tapestry.

Any search for direction is an exciting challenge and we learn so much when finding our own way of life.

Truly appreciate that unique journey you and I are on.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We've Got To Want Them

 We’ve Got To Want Them

“The real risk is doing nothing.”

If we choose to do ‘nothing’ in our lives, we are choosing to miss out on new and exciting opportunities.

Who wants to do that?

Embracing and even encouraging change always lead us towards ‘unexpected’ breakthroughs.

When we hesitate, we miss the opportunity and the potential to lead a happier life.

Valuable experiences ‘shape’ us and almost ‘create’ us into a much stronger person.

If we do nothing, we will never learn from experiences or become stronger within ourselves.

By choosing to act, even by taking small steps, we cultivate resilience and adaptability.

This will support us and help us to navigate through our journey in life.

Progress very often comes better from small steps and “manageable” steps.

There is a whole realm of possibilities in front of us but we’ve got to want them.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
