You never know what tomorrow will bring.
You look at your life and see, how much it changed, what's going on and wonder what the heck happened?
In life, some goodbyes are a gift. When certain people walk away from you, and certain opportunities close their doors on you, there is no need to hold onto them, or pray to keep them present in your life. If they close you out, take it as a direct indication that these people, circumstances and opportunities are not part of the plan for the next step of your life. It’s a hint that your personal growth requires someone different and something more, and life is simply making room.
The people who want to stay in your life will always find a way. Real friends and lovers stay faithful. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot in someone’s life. Never force someone to make a space in their life for
you, because if they truly care about you, they will create one for you.
Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that although once was real have not been real for a
long time.
Everyone has stuff to work on. I try to keep an open mind and stay vigilant in my life to make sure that I am
not hurting anyone with my words or treating them unfairly. There are always people and situations that
come along that are harder than others to do this with, and so at those times, well I do the best I can, and I continue to challenge myself to do better.
For many years, I was afraid to speak up in fear others wouldn't want to hear, what I had to say. However,
I realized that my voice mattered, just as much as, the person next to me. If you don't speak up in life, you can't expect others to do it for you.
Use your voice within and express how you feel. If you notice someone is having a hard time speaking up,
try to empower them to use their voice. Perhaps, this will give them the courage they need to do it themselves. We all matter and should be encouraged to feel like we do.
So embrace your goodbyes because every “goodbye” you receive, sets you up for an even better “hello.”
Keep your head up, your heart open, stay on a positive path and the right people will come along and join
you in it.
What if, instead of pushing so hard to make life happen, you decided to let go a little and allow life to happen
to you? What if, instead of trying to always be in control, you sometimes surrendered control to something bigger than yourself? What if, instead of working so hard to figure out every last answer, you allowed yourself to be guided to the solution in perfect timing?
At such times, remember, fear is connected with joy. We need new experiences to keep our minds fresh.
We need new opportunities to feed the creativity of our souls. We need new adventures for personal growth.
Start focusing on what you want going forward. Set a specific goal, keep your routine center on it, and you’ll find the strength to move steadily in a positive direction. When you focus on the right thing, even the difficult steps will seem easier.
Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them!
The burdens of the moment become much more bearable, when you connect with the purpose behind them.
There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much, who are the happiest.
There are some things in life that you may never completely get over. The best you may be able to do is
get through them slowly, and that’s perfectly okay. Just continue the journey, focus on the present, do your best and trust the process. The struggle forward is worth the effort. There’s still a lot of beauty left to be seen on the road ahead.
We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us. Realize that you are only destined to become one person, the person you choose to be in this moment. Do well and feel good. Do badly and feel bad. It’s that simple. So don’t be afraid to make necessary changes and start over. Right now is a brand new opportunity
to choose differently and build what you truly want.
What your emotions are trying SO hard to tell you?
Your emotions are your messengers. To be true to yourself and to those around you, it’s a must to learn to manage your emotions. It is a critical step toward living a happy, successful and fulfilled life. This doesn’t
mean that you control them by ignoring them or repressing them, it simply means listening to them. What
are they telling you?
When you let your emotions control you, you miss the message that they carry. When you ignore them for
fear of what they might cause you to do or feel, they simply return as anger later.
What are you telling yourself?
Positive self-talk is not about telling yourself that bad things in your life don’t exist or have not happened. It’s not about telling yourself life will be easy, if you think the right thoughts. Self-talk is about self-awareness and recognizing, how your thoughts affect how you feel, and ultimately what you accomplish.
Your thoughts are your self-talk and they directly affect the way you feel. Since your feelings dictate your actions, it’s important to take notice of the chain of thoughts and events in your life. This new found awareness holds the key to making the changes you crave come to pass.
Observe your self-talk as your emotions peak and fall. Tune in and identify any judgments, you might have about the way you feel. These thoughts translate into what you believe to be true about yourself. They can
be accurate or untrue and damaging. You decide if change is in order.
Don’t be so satisfied with the success stories of others, and how things have gone for them that you forget to write your own. Unfold your own tale and bring it to life. You have everything you need to become what you
are capable of becoming.
Incredible change happens when you decide to take control. This means consuming less and creating more.
It means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking and deciding for you. It means learning to respect and use your own ideas and instincts to write your passage.
Who is living your life?
Is it you, or the person next to you?
It's time to take a stand.
Own your life.
If you want your life story to soar to new heights, you’ve got to clear a path, reduce the time-sinks and
burdens weighing you down, and pick up the things that give you meaning to your life. Keep your best
wishes and your biggest goals close to your heart and dedicate time to them, every day. If you truly care
about what you do and you work diligently at it, there’s almost nothing you can’t accomplish.
Resentment loves to be nurtured, especially if we convince ourselves that our reasons for nurturing it are genuine and valid. When enough time passes, we sometimes forget why we chose to nurture certain resentment in the first place. That's why it's important you lose some resentment you're carrying. It may
have been relevant once, but is no longer relevant now.
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into
his skin and walk around in it.
We are all captains of our own destinies. We tend to be aware of how much control, we possess over outcomes are also oblivious to harm or damage, we cause by using such control in a negative way. Might
you be instrumental in a situation that is being driven by fear on your part? Abandon the fear. Trust instead and you will bring about a very positive change. It's often when we've made a decision, we know to be right that we try to find reasons to justify not pursuing it. Avoid doing that now. It's time to take action and make
the change you crave.
Recognize that through these experiences you discover new parts of yourself. You might just reveal strength, courage and resilience you didn’t know you had, and how great is that? So, reach past your fear and celebrate what your new adventures may bring!
