Give Thanks

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

– Tecumseh

          No matter what you are going through in life, there is always something to be thankful for. It can be as simple as being grateful for being alive, for your health, or for your shelter from the cold. There should never be a moment when you feel you have no reason to give thanks. For you must always take time to step outside of your situation and really see what good still surrounds you.

Greatest Gift

My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments – I’ll use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.

– Tina Turner

           There is no greater gift than self-love. When you truly love and embrace who you are, this radiance and happiness shows on the outside in your every move. It shows up in the way you carry yourself…Simply put, true happiness coming from within, transcends your very being.

Your Potential

“Each one of us holds the promise of greatness within our heart, minds, and souls. Our potential and where it leads us are as unique as our fingerprints, yet the way to access what is possible is universal. Affirm your life; find joy every day, even in the mundane; and embrace your strengths and use them to better yourself and the world.”

― Marianna Olszewski

          There is great potential within each of us. Whether you fully realize that potential is up to you. To realize your potential, you must commit yourself each and every day to embracing all that life has graced you with. This means finding joy in every moment of life no matter how small or how dark the day. It means embracing the good and not so good in yourself and in others. It’s about using the tools and resources available to you to better yourself and those around you.

Create Your Happiness

“I’ve pursued dreams and achieved them, but I don’t think anybody should think their life is incomplete if they don’t follow some dream. Happiness doesn’t come from achievements, or money, or any sort of treasure. Happiness is a frame of mind, not a destination. It’s appreciating what you’ve got and building relationships with those around you.”

― Janette Rallison

            One of life’s greatest lessons is that happiness is a frame of mind. Happiness is a choice. It is a choice to accept yourself, your circumstances, and learn to find joy in every moment of life – rain or shine. Happiness isn’t about how much money you make; rather, it is about the relationships you build. It’s about the love you share with others and the lives you touch for the better.

Positive Action

“People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.”

― Steve Maraboli

          What you get out of life ultimately depends on your attitude and perspective. If you choose to only see the glass as half empty and treat life with a negative attitude, then you will likely have a miserable life. Whereas, if you choose to greet life with a positive, can and will do attitude, you will find yourself much happier even though things aren’t perfect. So, each morning choose to embrace all that the day may encompass good and not so good and greet the sunrise with a smile.

Start Anew

“Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.”

― Marianne Williamson, The Law of Divine Compensation: Mastering the Metaphysics of Abundance

         Life is all about growth and embracing change. It’s about learning when to close the book on the stories of your past so that the story of your future can be written. For when you let go of the chains of yesterday, you make way for the blessings of today.

Precious Gift

“Regardless of Sunshine or Rain, Be Thankful for another GREAT day…and treat Life as the ULTIMATE Gift…. Because IT IS :)”

― Pablo

         Every day you wake is a blessing…it is a precious gift that should be cherished and not wasted. No matter what the day may bring – rain or shine – you should be thankful for the chance to live one more moment. For some would give anything to see the storm clouds raging if it meant one more day on this Earth.

Memories

“I think the only answer is to live life to the fullest while you can and collect memories like fools collect money. Because in the end, that’s all you have – happy memories.”

― Sarah Strohmey

          Life is all about the little moments…the memories we make with our loved ones. It’s about the relationships we cultivate. It isn’t about the money you make or the job you have. In the end, material things will mean nothing and the love we shared with others will mean everything.

Today is a New Day

“Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the unchangeable past or the indefinite future! Today is a new day!”

― Steve Maraboli

         Live in the present. For the past is done and the future has yet to happen. So, focus your energy on living each day to the fullest. Greet each day with an open mind and open heart ready to experience every blessing. Use each day to be a better version of yourself. Never forget, today is a new day.

Give Your All

“We never know when our last day on earth will be. So, love with full sincerity, believe with true faith, and hope with all of your might. Better to have lived in truth and discovered life, than to have lived half heartedly and died long before you ever ceased breathing. ”

― Cristina Marrero

       Live each moment as if it were your last. This doesn’t mean go out and blow all your money on a lottery ticket. No, this means to give your entire heart at every moment. So, each day you are given on this Earth, give unselfishly of yourself holding nothing back.
